Fall Secret Sister Sign-Up- CLOSED

[AlexWyattMommy]

Thank you mommy2mrb!!

I my special box.
From California,
Sacramento - Blue Diamond Almonds
Petaluma - Blackberry Cassis candle (in frosted, lidded glass holder)
Yosemite - Vanilla & Oats Olive Oil Soap

I also received Purple Post-it pad, Purple Sharpie & Dove candy - but I don't think those are made in California.

I have to share the candy, 'cause the little one was here when I opened the box. So I can't hide them.

The almonds are all mine. The boys prefer cashews. I prefer almonds so this is very good.

Thanks for being my SS. It has been lots of fun.

Oops, almost forgot, thank you for the wonderful Cricut made card. I really wanted to make those this year, but I didn't. Now I have one to put in my to-be scrapped box.

My youngest DS received his wonderful box from Mickster's DS.

WOW!!
(I totally did not think to wrap up the items. So sorry to my DS's SSs)

He found a quilted Mickey Stocking, now hanging in the living room.
There was very nice handmade card.
There was a $10 gift card from Target. Our favorite place to shop. Toys for both of us there.
Cars color-in stickers (with markers), pencils, sketch pad.
K'NEX speeders
Blue Camo Journal with pens (he has already swiped a Goofy dressed as Santa photo card to put in it)
And then there was this box. A box that said Disney. He can read Disney.
This box earned FIVE "Oh my gosh" and SIX "Oh my goodness" and TWO "He really shouldn't have, but oh I am so glad he did"
It was the Mickey Mouse Americana Medal Ribbon Pin.
This Pin.

My son thanks your son. He has this pin hanging on his YOAMD lanyard already.

I'm glad he liked it all. I'll let DS know when he comes in after freezing outside. He is playing in the dusting of sn** we got yesterday. Yippee! My MIL went to WDW in October and DS told her to find one that was military like. She thought it looked like a medal.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

My eldest is quite put out right now.

Saying that he covets his brother's new pin is an understatement. He is hoping that he will be able to find a Donald one when we go in August.

It does look like a military medal.

This will be talked about for, well, ever.

 

[Mickster]

Sorry about that! I didn't mean to cause any undue stress or brotherly strife. I thought it was a super cute pin, personally. I did think about keeping it for myself, but decided that defeated the purpose of my MIL getting it.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Aww, no big deal. They always find something to argue about. It is pretty rare that the younger gets something better than the older, so this a good "life is not fair" lesson.

I was kicking myself today when I headed out to do some shopping in the vicinity of the post office and realized I forgot my package. It will be going out first thing tomorrow morning - heading south to a warmer climate!

Thanks to my SSS ohMom! (aka Molli). I was totally confused (or cornfuzzled as BAMB would say... ) I totally thought it was a box for the memorial book and not for me. So when I started to take out the presents... it took me a few minutes to get my head back in the game...

Well, my sss is from Ohio!

I got Ohio Buckeye Candy and the recipe
Robert Rothschild Farm Raspberry Honey Mustard pretzel dip and pretzels.
Scarlet and grey M&Ms - they will be at my desk for this afternoon...
Miracle Gro House plant food - this one really confused me until I read the note...(the Miracle Gro corporate office is in Ohio.... )
Bath and Body Works Velvet Tuberose lotion - they're in Ohio too!
Metal tags, Bazzill Chipboard tags, Scrapbeads in a Christmas mix and green dots from a brand new LSS.

Who knew so much neat stuff came from Ohio!??!

Thanks so much for all of the stuff! I love it all and I'm eating a Buckeye candy as I type! You rock!

 

[ohMom]

Karen -- glad you liked it all and i never knew Buckeyes were for breakfast!!

I resisted buying you lingere......Victoria Secret is a Columbus based company too

 

[Mickster]

Thanks for the no lingerie. You wouldn't have wanted to the know the sizes!

 

[angelmom]

Colleen,
glad you liked everything. I had fun being you ss! The mall is a fun place to go. We are about 15 minutes away. We go every so often. Sometimes for dinner, for the kids to go on a few rides, and sometimes even to shop. lol I do however avoid it during December, unless I go right at opening and them get out of there.

DD got her SSS box. Thank dd of knovak! She was so excited. She loves the High School musical makeup and has already put up all the posters from the magazine! She likes the fruit chews and stackers. She was excited to get the scrapbook paper and stickers. This has been a lot of fun! It's amazing how fast a kid can open a box and have everything scattered!

Loved the Tink Christmas paper. Where did you find it?

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

After having no school and multiple delays, I finally got the last SS box out today.

[pretty in tink]

I have to write on his butt who gave him to me

I can't believe the tag fairy missed that one...!

I mailed mine and DD back on Monday or Tuesday, but I sent them snail mail because it was $6 more to send it priority and that seemed like too much, especially since it said it was only going to be an extra day or two. So, they should be there any day now!

 

[TPCShauna]

Everyone's packages sound wonderful!!

Just want to let my SS know that my package went out today. DH dropped it off this afternoon so it's on its way!

 

[hrpufnsash]

Dear SS, (eventhough you don't still know who I am yet)

My husband told me that I got my SS package today. I was really excited and I rushed home to open it! Well he didn't look at the package very carefully because it was in MY HANDWRITING! It was returned with just a box checked off and no explanation. Could it be that I have Salsa and Hot sauce inside? Has anyone heard of the mail actually rejecting a package this way? I mailed at the Kiosk and I just didn't think about the liquid question.

So SS - I am either going to just put this box in another and send UPS or repack SANS hot sauce and sent USPS on Monday.
