Come on in and have a hot cup of orange zest tea and some fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and welcome to my show and tell post where I get the chance every Friday to join other wonderful ladies in showing off different things in our homes, if you would like to join in the fun visit Kelli at her blog There is no place like home, She is a wonderful hostess and you will have fun.... So go and visit her and all the rest of the lovely ladies and join in the fun.
I am in a group on yahoo called Secret Sister is is ran by a wonderful woman by the name of Betty... In this group once a month Betty sends everyone a secret sister for the month when you first join the group you have to fill out what is called a spoil me list ( it is just a list of ten items you would like to receive that are not expensive, the minimum and maximum amount of the gifts can be no lower or no higher then $15 dollars, you can send little gifts as long as they come up to at less $15 dollars, like me I love gift certificates, candles and stickers,etc.) it is usually on the 1st of the month when you recieve your secret sister, you have to send out your gifts before the 25th of the month in order to be included in the next month's secret sister. Betty is wonderful if you can not afford to buy a present because something unexpected happened (car broke down, lost your job etc) she will help you out and you will still be included in the secret sister swap next month. Now that the holiday is upon us we are doing holiday gifts until after Christmas so if you would like to join visit yahoo groups and type in sweet secret sister and look for the picture above have fun and see you there.
This is some of the gifts that I received for the month of November from my secret sister, it is a candle warmer with beautiful leaves on it along with some wonderful scents, the scent that is burning in the warmer now is warm cantaloupe and the other two is pumpkin spice, and juicy peach these items were shipped directly to me from Scentsy by order of my secret sister. I also was sent in the mail by my secret sister directly some welcome home scent it tea candles, two more wonderful Fall serving trays and a salt and pepper fall leaves shakers.
This is a better picture of the wonderful warmer my whole house smells of cantaloupe LOVING IT..
Thanks for stopping by please stop by and visit me again and as we say down here in the Carolinas Yall be blessed......

Sounds like a fun, caring group! I always loved to get anything in the mail, big or small. You know the smaller things were just as wonderful! Glad you are enjoying your gift.
And stop hugging that turkey-you're going to be eating him soon! LOL
That is such a cool idea! How fun to get and give gifts each month.
Sounds like a wonderful group to belong to and how delightful to be able to send someone a little surprise gift to brighten their day!

What a great group and how nice to get little surprises in the mail. I love candles, tea lights, votives, and all the fabulous scents they have available now.
Sounds like one terrific group, and such great treasures you received.
Happy show n tell today. Stop by if you can find time.
That's a fun thing to do! I did that for years when I went to a large church on the other side of the mountains...*U* sure do miss it! I love yummy smelling things too! (maybe that's why I make soap)
i found it now. i wasn't typing in sweet before secret sister. yippee! thank you!
What a great idea! We've had secret sisters in our church ladies fellowship and that was fun. Thanks for sharing--love the little salt/pepper shakers.

Enjoy your day and thanks for sharing!
Hi Deniece, what a great group you belong to. It sounds like so much fun to be a secret sister! Your candle gift is so nice, perfect for the upcoming holidays!
Have a great weekend and thanks for sharing this on Show and Tell Friday

DeNeice, What fun! I've been in secret sister groups in church where we would pair up with someone for 3 or 6 months. It caused us to get to know each other so well, and it was fun being sneaky, so they didn't figure out who you were. And, of course, you were always trying to figure out who YOURs was, as well. What nice gifts you received. Warm Canteloupe sounds like a wonderful scent.

The secret sisters is a great idea. years ago I belonged to a faculty ladies club that has secret friends. It was great fun.
What a beautiful heart-warming idea
What a wonderful idea - I bet the postage costs more than that LOL!
I thin this is just wonderful.
Thanks for sharing.
