Hi Secret Pal, I received your parcel a couple of weeks ago but my computer spat the dummy and I haven't been able to receive emails in the normal manner and haven't been able to send any at all. It has just started to work on it's own (just as I threatened it with inhiliation). So I'm sorry

Hi Secret Pal, I received my package from you just before Easter and it was full of wonderful things. The silk thread made me gasp and I will be using it soon. I have a Chantilly pattern picked out ready to go. I just needed the thread and now I have it! The card is always useful. Thankyou for

To my new Secret Pal, Thanks so much for the parcel I received last week. The bobbins are lovely. I'm not sure if I will spangle them yet but as I am doing a chantilly workshop soon with Islke they will come in very useful! Thread is always great to get and I didn't have that size. The body

Hi Secret Pal. Thanks for the wonderful parcel I just received. The mini lifesavers are delicious. The thread and needle case are great and the bobbins are just about to be wound for my next project (if I can convince my cat that he really doesn't want to sleep on top of my lace!). The non stic

Hi Secret pal! I received your parcel last week and then had to go interstate to look after my neice and nephew so couldn't send you a note until now. Customs opened the parcel and took the pot pourri as it had a pine cone in it, but I received everything else..The sours are in my handbag and I

Hello Secret Pal, I didn't mind your parcel being late as it just added to the anticipation! I received it at the beginning of this week and it was great to sit down, relax and open my parcel. I really like the lace bobbin shaped bookmark you made. It is already in one of my books. The pair o

Hello to my secret pal in the US, I received this months parcel yesterday and it is lovely. All those pretty things that you have given me. The doll keychain is too nice to go on my keys as it may get damaged so I am going to put in on my basket for everyone to see. The sachet smells lovely

To my secret pal, Thanks for my first parcel. The chatalien (sp) is great. I have this habit when I make costumes of missing threads, so when the actors are about to go on stage you can usually find me with a pair of scissors is one hand cutting off the loose threads! Now I won't loose them b

Hi Secret Pal, I started to open the parcel and this wonderful scent surrounded me. I am really looking forward to trying the ginger and lemon infusion. It smells so good and the weather is getting colder so it is just the right time to have it. The Lindt chocolate is a wicked indulgence and

Hi secret pal, Your parcel has brightened my day. I have been ill for quite a while and feeling miserable so the parcel was a great distraction! The choc/mint drink I will have to leave until I am better and can taste it and the same goes for the perfume (except that I won't be drinking it (

To my Secret Pal, Thanks so much for my parcel. I promise not to open the envelope until my Birthday! I saw the dark chocolate and thought that I would give it to my Mum who is with me at the moment as she loves dark chocolate and I don't, but I thought I would give it a try. After all it was
