    Default Got a secret pal box in the mail today

    I'm on the country sampler site and have been for awhile now
    (decorating site) well anyway, we have been doing a secretpal exchange and i got mine today. I really made my day. I got dishtowels,candles,2 vintage baking cookbooks,a stitched prim pillow,antique chicken cookie cutter. I was so excited. Im also doing the Autum one that is called the traveling swap box. The first person gets the list of people in it and adresses,right now we have around 25 in it . The 2nd person takes what they want but have to put back items of like value and things for autum, stationary,teas ect.Then it goes to the next person, so forth. Its really fun and a great way to meet new people and really get to know them. We won't tell who we have or who we got the box from till everyone has recieved one.
