I'm in Love, Secret Pal!

Dear Secret Pal,

I love everything, and yes, I did eat some of the cookies already as they will not keep. Your choice of dishes made me melt!!! I LOVE them. I cannot wait for Apple to use them. I like the handmade bibs, too. Thank you for taking the time and care on them. I greatly appreciate it.

Thank You Secret Pal

Thank you so much for the wonderful gifts. Do not worry about being late, I am sorry you have had a hectic winter. I know busy schedules can really throw you off and you have no idea where the time went.

We appreciate your generosity the ladybug dinner set is so cute I bought this for someone and I love it. The Big Bird to China is so fitting can't wait for all of us to watch it together. Also can't wait to get to China. Thank you also for the highchair cover and the music CD. Hope you have a terrific spring.

BIG THANK YOU HUGS!!!

After all my complaining about not having a gift, I've been greatly humbled. Our SP was tied up with life, namely a new job. Hmm...life beyond March Mulberries?!? It does exist!!! Congrats SP on your new job and we pray you have many blessings and great success.

Now, on to the thank you. Our SP didn't let us down. She actually included gifts from February & April. We received a cute little outfit (pink & brown with hearts on it - too cute!), a set of 5 pink and white bibs (one with a cute mommy and baby poodle - totally adorable!!!), a 5 piece ladybug children's dinnerware set, a Chalkmat (it's a placemat and a chalkboard - ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!), an Imagine & Play Musical Pets activity game, and a Lots to Love Baby Steps doll named Playful Patti. She is dressed for the beach and she's a beautiful little Asian girl. Her facial features are so lifelike despite her tiny size. Patti is the first doll we've received and she'll be treasured for a long time to come.


So with deep appreciation, we thank you, SP. We are sorry we doubted you. We'll learn to be more patient. Again, blessings with your new job and tons more for this long wait.

Deeply thankful,
Alan & Jodi Fredrickson

Lienke Family Thank You!

Hi SP --

Thank you very much for the gift of cd's, cute little Chinese toy, and wonderful hair pretties. Your gifts are much appreciated, and with all the other gifts you've sent, we can't wait to share them with our daughter. No worries on your gift being late, I'm just glad it arrived safely and it wasn't lost in the mail :-) No pictures this time around. I'm battling a nasty cold and can hardly function. You'd think after a week of being sick I'd start to feel better. Oh well, maybe tomorrow. At any rate, thank you again very much for the presents.

-- Kelly & Todd Lienke

PS - When I'm feeling better I'll post another thank you on our blog.

Secret Pal where are you!?!?

It's the middle of March and we haven't received our gift yet.  Amy, if you're out there, we've emailed you but haven't heard anything back yet.  I really enjoy doing the SP exchange but may pull out if this continues.  This is our 3rd SP and not the first time that we've gone without a gift.  I hope not to bring anyone down but it's rather discouraging to see everyone getting such great gifts and us sitting empty-handed.  I hope to hear from someone soon so this can be resolved.

We have the BEST secret pal!

Wow, what a fun box full of stuff! The CD, cassette, outfit, CNY decoration, and ladybug hair thingies for Lila are all wonderful. It was so sweet of you to include the headbands for Grace. She was so excited to get something in the mail.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sorry We're Late

Thank you to our wonderful SP for the great gifts we received for the Dec. 2008 exchange.  As always, you send such lovely gifts.  We always get so excited to open our packages when they arrive.  It's just like Christmas.  Although our "Thank You" postings are usually late, it doesn't mean we don't appreciate you or the lovely gifts.

We really appreciate our SP and your thoughtfulness has helped make this journey to the other side of the Review Room a joy!  Congrats to all on making it out of the Review Room...finally!!!

-The Fredricksons

P.S. We tried posting pictures but something isn't working.  We'll try again later.  Either way, thank you so much!!!
