Thank You Dee Kelley!!!

I was truly SURPRISED to learn my Secret Pal #3 was Dee Kelley! We returned last evening from spending Christmas with our son in Guatemala and I was exhausted... but not too exhausted to open my final SP#3 package! ;)



Dee sent thoughtful and lovely presents for my whole family:

• Delicious chocolates for me and Dan
• Delicious bones for the pooches - Brody, Alfie and Katie
• Rattles and books for our angel daughter from China and our angel son Dominic from Guatemala
• Adorable Dora the Explorer doll dressed for an adventure in China
• Fun scrapbook stuff for the pooches photo album
• As always, a gorgeous custom card

Thank you Dee for being such an amazing and supportive Secret Pal! I seriously had no idea who you were and am THRILLED I learned more about you. I look forward to continuing our blossoming friendship! Happy New Year!

A HUGE Thanks to Kristina!!!

Kristina was my pal and she truly blessed us the past three months! I must say she really sent us some unique and thoughtful gifts.

As you can see from the pictures and captions, Kristina really went all out and blessed us greatly through her time, gifts, and love! We are so happy she was our pal! Thank you Kristina and family. Your family is AWESOME. Tell Olivia her picture is on our wall of honor!

Love in Christ,
Tammy in MS

Thank You Andrea W.

Thank you Andrea for all the spoiling the past three months. This month's package was awesome and I love everything. My digital camera is having problems (hoping Santa is bringing me a new camera) but I wanted to say a big thank you.

This month we received 2 really cute shirts - one says "Best Present Ever" and has a big red bow - how cute will that be on one of these Christmas'!!! The stacking toy is very cool and the chocolates, well lets just say there almost gone!

Thanks again for thinking of me and I look forward to someday meeting you in person. Health and Happiness in 2008!

Daniella

THANK YOU DANIELLA!!!

I have the most incredible pal. In this month's box, Daniella shared her holiday tradition with us by including a copy of "The Night Before Christmas". I remember reading this book with my family growing up, and I'm sure we'll enjoy reading it with our daughter as well. Also in the box were a super cute Tag Blanket (Daniella - did you make this?), a gorgeous Christmas ornament, and Christmas kitchen towels. Our daughter will look adorable wearing the Santa bib and hat (something tells me a Santa hat = good bribery pictures for teenage years)! Lastly, since Daniella knows I've been missing the ocean, she sent a book of wise quotes from the sea. It's perfect. D.'s hogging the digital camera right now, but I wanted to go ahead and post a THANK YOU in the meantime.

Daniella, I've so enjoyed getting to know you better over the last few months. May we continue to build our friendship over this long wait and beyond. Thanks for being such a wonderful, thoughtful, pal!!!

Thank You Laura Vela!

Thank you sooooo much Laura for spoiling me and my family the past three months! It has been so much fun getting to know you. I know we have formed the beginnings of a lifetime friendship! Can't wait to find out more about you now that I know its you!

This month Laura got my family a snowman filled with yummy treats. I have already dove into the popcorn! Also there was a beautiful picture frame on a pedestal that I am picturing Diana's referral looking fabulous in! As always Diana got a cute outfit. This one is red velour and will look soooo cute on her during the holidays! My computer that I download pictures from is being repaired but I will post pictures when I can.

Laura, Thank you again for being such a wonderful secret pal! My family really appreciates all you have done. I especially as you know have loved all the encouragement you have sent my way!

Lisa

Thank You SP#3!!!

My darling SP#3 sent the loveliest package to me! She makes these very nice and thoughtful custom cards, they are so wonderful. Our daughter received her first mealtime gifts - Hello Kitty bowl and cup, and matching bib - so precious! For our home, beautiful Linen scented potpourri and candle - so refreshing! For me, many spa products including foot scrub, body scrub and manicure kit - ahhhhh, perfect for this time of year! Last but not least, dark chocolate covered lemon treats - I am anxious to try this decadent treat! :)

Thank you SP#3, for you kindness, support and thoughtfulness during this exchange. I appreciate your presence in my life and interest in our Guatemala adoption. XOXOXO, Laura

Thanks SP!

My SP has outdone herself yet again! In the back is a set of nesting boxes (like Russian dolls), two darling frames -- maybe for first (smiling) pictures of Baby and Mommy and Daddy!
More books this month, which is great since we can't wait to read to Baby (we're both big readers -- you wouldn't believe the
number of books we have! -- and Baby should have plenty too!
Last but not least, some practical items, which I know will be useful -- disposable bibs, changing pads, and camera (for travel!) a rattle, and a thermometer.

SP, you think of everything! Thank you so much!
