What wonderful gifts we received this month! Thanks for all the thought you put into the gifts. I have a couple of months posted, trying to catch up a little. Our sweet little, new puppy chewed through some important computer\camera wires so I've been out of commission. Thanks secret buddy.

Thank You Secret Buddy!!

Thanks so much for my package of "Nature's Blessing's" gifts. I loved everything, and your note was so sweet. We are definitely enjoying some HOT summer weather, and the outfits you sent are so adorable. I love the bright summer colors, and the little flowers, bugs and popsicles that decorate each piece. I can't wait for the summer that our daughter is home, so we can play outside, and enjoy nature together. The hand crafted Wooden Puzzle and the Wood Creations Building set are awesome. I must admit, she has a lot of clothes, and not so many toys, so these educational gifts will be great additions to her ever growing "stash" of goodies.

You are so thoughtful, and as always, I appreciate you so very much.

Thanks again, and I hope you are enjoying your summer!

p.s. I still don't know who you are!

Our SB gifts for May 2007

Another late thank you postings (but again hope you did read our thank you in the DTC postings ;-) !!!....This time we received the most thoughtful gifts ever... A spinner with butterflies and ladybugs (you know us already!), we also got two panda bears, (one of them has music) and then you did no leave out our two babies, "Bellagio" (our yellow lab" and "Cleo" (our cat)... they both got a gift each. Bellagio got a tug of war w/a ladybug which I can't seem to bring myself to give it to him!!! and probably never will, it's just too adorable and a crunchy toy for Cleo which I hide only for her because if Bellagio sees it it will become his.... Just so happy for all our beautiful gifts, thank you our bestest SB... we love you,

Heidy and Joey Frost

Thank you SB for our April 2007 gifts.

Althought we are just posting the pictures now I hope you read our thank you notes in the yahoo group postings... We so appreciate every detail and all the love you put into our gifts!

Thank you much

Thank you SB for my June gifts!!!

I received my June gift "nature's blessings" from my Oct2006DTC Secret Buddy. I had an order to open them. 1st, play clothes for playing outside, 2nd, a bubble toy to play outside, 3rd, bath toys for the bath that will be needed afterward. Jessica and Anna also got Hello Kitty stickers. What a great secret buddy I have!

Thank You Secret Buddy!!

I arrived home today to my May package from my secret buddy. Thank you so much for everything you sent. Your note was so sweet, and I loved what you wrote. You must know me pretty well by now, because I just adore the dresses. One is a pink, frilly sundress and the other is a little red polka-dot halter dress. The pink stuffed ladybug chimes when you shake it, and it is so soft. The little stuffed panda is adorable, too. I love adding to her library, and the book "Oh, No! A Naptime Adventure" will be a perfect story to cuddle up together and read. Thanks so much for being my buddy, and for sharing in our journey. It really means so much to me.

Ashley

p.s. thanks for the cute ladybug stickers, too!

Thank you Secret Buddy May...James Family
