*SC's OFFICIAL* Secret Be My Valentine Gift Exchange, ALL RECEIVED

[Littlemoe0]

Wow you guys and gals are on the ball. I still have to get out shopping, hopefully tomorrow.

[glenglen]

As for me, I kinda get shafted at Valentine's. The bday is only a few days after, so I always tell the hubby not to spend a fortune on flowers, and being the romantic he is, he dosen't.

ha ,ha ! same here don't have many of the fancy flower days around my house.

Oh it was my pleasure, glenglen. I like to be on the ball, and I just couldn't wait to do this one! I had so much fun putting it together; since I was going to deliver it in person, I didn't have to factor in the cost of postage, so I kinda went a bit nuts. I hope the cookies taste okay; they are just plain homemade sugar cookies with royal icing, so if you have any concerns (ie. ingredients and allergies), just let me know and I'll send you the ingredients list.

Wow Glenglen that sounds like a great surprise. Lucky You! I can't wait to see a picture.

Cndchk, A+ for creativity!!!!

[hogama]

[Littlemoe0]

That sounds like an awesome gift, congrats!!!!

[dealsniffer]

Well I guess I better get my but in gear! lol the first gift has already been recieved!! Congrats Glenglen on the great gift and Cdnchk what a nice gift you put together!!!!

[dealsniffer]

ok well I was thinking about Valentines and stuff and I have to admit for years I have been sort of anti valentines because I hadn't had someone special of the other gender to spend it with. Then last year I realized that it isn't necessarily about having a boyfriend (or girlfriend/wife for the guys ) and it is more about celebrating love and your love for your family and friends and pets even. lol It doesn't have to be a romantic love. So that is why I have been looking forward to this Valentines day and it was really great and exciting that Moe did this gift exchange and people signed up for my card exchange because it makes it all that much more exciting and fun! At first I wasn't sure if I could manage to take part in this though and I am so happy that I could! I am having sooooo much fun getting the gift together and making cards! Thanks Moe! here is a couple quotes I found on love that I want to share.

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity. ~Henry Van Dyke
A bell is no bell 'til you ring it,
A song is no song 'til you sing it,
And love in your heart
Wasn’t put there to stay -
Love isn’t love
'Til you give it away.
~Oscar Hammerstein, Sound of Music, "You Are Sixteen (Reprise)"

Take away love and our earth is a tomb. ~Robert Browning

You are very welcome Meguwo!!! I am glad you liked your gift so much! Anyways Happy Valentine's Day!!!

[Littlemoe0]

Great job barginshopper, can't wait to hear what was all inside. I got shopping today for my secret sc'er, but still need to do a bit of tweaking on the gift.

[julie.leeds]

OH crap!!! well not really, but I read the $5.00 minimum and thought well I don't want to go too crazy because I didn't want to look like a goof if I put a lot of stuff in mine and everyone else stuck at the $5.00-$10.00 mark....At least it means I can pick up a couple of other things and not worry now!!

[Littlemoe0]

Julie, $5 is the minimum. Don't worry, I always end up going overboard, I just think to myself, geez, what would i like to get and go from there, but with there likes in mind. Oh, and finding out your question still.
