I would like to take a moment to personally thank you for all the hard work, dedication and apparently patience you have had to endure to keep the SECRET PALS going all these months

You truly are a sweet person and I wanted to let you know that I appreciate everything you have done bringing all of us together. I am sorry that certain people did not keep to their promises and because of this we no longer have the Secret Pals I for one am truly sadden by this decision but I do understand why you chose to do end it

I hope others join me in thanking you for all that you have done for us................

you have a heart of gold girl............and I love ya for it

Thank you...

why are you guys SECRET pals?

Thank you Robin for starting such a fun event that we could look forward to each month...(even if some of us are a little slow sending out the gifts.. ) It means a lot for you to take the time to do it each month and I thank you.


Buttercup!!! Go give Mommy a bunch of kisses from all of us in the group!!

Robin picked names from a hat each month and sent us the name of someone to send a gift to. It was like a Secret Santa, but anyone who wanted to join could just sign up in the thread or send Robin an email to be included. Things just became too complicated when people kept dropping out for Robin to keep it going.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. thats awesome. I woulda never entered though, I dont do gifts for anyone but my son, my mom sometimes, and my lover.


I hate how people traditionally handle Christmas for that reason..


Noone gets gifts but my son.. just the way it is. I have a selfish family, and thats all they care about.. gifts, and dinners. I resent it totally.

i woulda done it but alas i was over too many borders

Aww- I know I'm not in Secret Pal's but wanted to say "Hi" to
Robin! She IS the greatest!

Have an awesome day Robin!

Robin, Thank you for all you have done to keep the secret pals going. I certainly wish it hadn't come to an end, but I can understand.

You have done a wonderful job, as usual, ((((((Robin))))))... THANK YOU!

Thank you Robin, for all your time and patience in doing this. I really enjoyed being a part of this group and I loved shopping for each of my Pals. I'm so sorry that it had to end this way.

It must have been a very trying time for Robin, hearing all the time that people didn't receive anything.
Some people might not even have realized that none of it was her fault, that some things just didn't work out because of borders.
And she was in no way responsible for people begging out without saying a word.
Robin has done a great job, and I can understand her frustration.

Thank you.

(((robin)))

you are an amazing gal and i so enjoyed the secert pals im gonna miss it but i do understand im so sorry it didnt work out

but you need to know you did a great thing for us all

you are so LOVED

(((Robin))) , Thank you for making Secret Pals what you did! You put in alot of YOUR hard work and Time.

You Lady!!..

Thank you, Robin! I enjoyed it when I participated. YOU ROCK!

I'll agree with everyone.Robin had to have a lot of patience to deal with everyone and try to keep everything straight. I'm sorry that it has came to a end.For I never had the pleasure of having alot of you as a Secret Pal. I do hope that we can still stay in touch with each other,Robin's goal was to bring people together.We really don't need gifts for that.

Thank you all so very much!

Truly, the success of Secret Pals rests on your shoulders for your willingness to take a leap of faith to share your address with strangers, the generousity of your time and extra expense it involved in purchasing and shipping the gifts.

Because of the SPs I have had the opportunity to get to know some truly amazing folks. The selflessness and loving spirit you all put into this truly warmed my heart and restored my faith in the kindness of strangers.

I still plan to do the Christmas and Valentine Card Exchange,(where there are no border boundaries, BTW... ) so I hope you'll join me for those when the time comes and..bring a friend!

yee hah, i can play?

Yes, we'd be delighted!
