In the meantime, here's the theme for May, so you can get your creative juices flowing.

.............Taste of China............

This theme may be interpreted as literally or as figuratively as you like - recipes, chopsticks, teas, mealtime for baby, etc.

Enjoy!

Thank You Andrea W

So I was Andrea W's secret pal. I get home today and there is a small box with Andrea's return address. When I opened the box and saw the most beautiful hand knit sweater for Diana. In her note she says that she decided that this was for baby Diana. It really made my day! Also she included an emergency chocolate bar. Trust me I will use it accordingly!

I never knew that I would really meet so many wonderful people just by joining a secret pal swap! I loved round one and can't wait to get started on round two.

Andrea-I know we have become lifelong friends. Thank you soooo much for spoiling me after I was the one to spoil you!

My Last Secret Pal Gift!

Thanks to my secret pal! She has taken very good care of me over the last three months. This last gift was very fun. A few weeks ago she sent an "Amazing Message Plant". The directions say that when the plant grows, it will reveal a message!

Yesterday we received a sweet Easter themed gift that included a sweet & adorable dress, The Velveteen Rabbit, jelly beans and cute barrettes. The card said that I should have figured out who my secret pal was through the prior gift (amazing message plant). I realized then that I had been lazy (or nauseous from the pregnancy!!) and not planted the plant yet! Needless to say, I rushed to it and followed the directions! I assume it will reveal a name. I am so sorry I didn't do that before. Your fun idea is great!

I can't wait to find out who my pal has been. She has treated me well. The gifts have been adorable and fun, and she has sent me numerous encouraging emails. Her time, effort, and thoughtfulness are so very appreciated. This exchange was lots of fun! I enjoyed being Lisa's pal as well!

Many thanks,

Rebecca

Splendid Surprise from My Secret Pal - Kathy Taylor!

Kathy Taylor has once again outdone herself! She has been so generous and has impeccable taste. This last package contained a gorgeous Laura Ashley dress, ladybug barrettes and sunglasses and loads of chocolate Easter candy. Thank you Kathy for all these wonderful presents!

I have had the privilege of getting to know Kathy and I am impressed and amazed at how she juggles a demanding high profile career and raising a family so successfully! She is an inspiration to me and is one of the most humble people I have ever met. Although I am losing her as a pal, I will keep her forever as a friend. :)
