Show & Tell About Secret Buddies & Gifts

Show and Tell about recent gifts....

We participate in two Secret gift exchanges. One is called Secret Buddy while the other is called "Secret Pal". When we initially joined some Yahoo groups to connect with other's adopting from China, we joined the group, Precious Pandas (anyone logged in with China in December 05 and January and February 2006 was invited to join), they already had a Secret Swap going.
So last year when the opportunity came to join in this one at Seventh Diamond, we joined the fun. Just a month later, the Precious Pandas decided to start a new swap, so we joined and now send out two secret gift boxes each month.

This is what we received for the month of June, the theme was hair bows (any ribbons, barrettes, adornments for new daughter's hair). Aren't they just precious? My Secret Buddy knows of our colors for Alyzabeth's room; pinks and browns. Here's a picture with all of them - what a beautiful surprise!
Our Secret Bud's have been so thoughtful about the gifts they send to us. They all have included useful, adorable, helpful, practical, whimsical gifts - lots of love put into each package!

This past week, our favorite adopting "older than dirt" couple, (they allow us to say that :) sent DH a Father's Day gift; a very cute "Pirates" book with a photo of DH hoisting a sail at my birthday bash.....


Thank you to all who have made this a joyous journey!! We are on pins and needles for the referral news in early July - we think we have a 50 - 50 shot at being in the next batch!! To celebrate being on the "bubble", we expect to drink as much bubbly as possible when the mood strikes us!

Love to our family and friends! Cheers!!
