Kim Kramer was my secret pal in the March LID group. I remember how I almost did not join the March group because I KNEW my LID was wrong. On a whim I joined the group and jumped right on board with the Secret Pal fun.
Each and every month would arrive the cutest packages revealing inside fun, thoughtful and generous gifts. The first month I sent off my gift I thought, "Okay I did good", UNTIL I received my secret pal gift. I was blown away! So taking an example of this, I tried and I say tried to emulate the amazinginess of the packaging and the gifts I was receiving. People like family and friends, were amazed at such cuteness. My mom would drive 30 miles from her home to mine just to see the details in the packaging and gifts. After 12 months (or so) we revealed ourselves. I had grown to know and love Kim through her blog and comments on mine and other blogs. Of course, since she was my secret pal, I was so into everything I could gleam about her. In that fun December month was the big reveal. I let KIM KRAMER know that I was her secret pal and she, well ,SHE WAS MY secret pal!
The gift thoughtfulness did not stop there.... On my 5oth (yes, my fifty-th) birthday she once again blew me away.
Mesa was never forgotten in these packages either. Always Treats and Toys.... It almost got to a point that any package that came to the door she KNEW there was something for her.
Now that we see the sweet face of Tate, once again we were blessed with the love and generosity of Kim and Mike Kramer.
I talked about the cute packaging.... Here is a prime example to which I do speak. As you can see, these are silver matching bracelets. One for MOM and one for Tate. The bracelets came in these take out containers.... Mesa's came in her own doggie bag.

And mine. Matching momma and Tate bracelets.... I am wearing mine already. Sorry, cannot wait for Tate. She will be wearing hers ASAP.
Take a look at this outfit! Could you just die over the cuteness of this? I can see those sweet little soft baby shoulders and legs peeking out of this dress. I can imagine that beautiful face of my Tate under the hat. SO so so so CUTE!
Now Mesa, she is nothing but trouble with her gifts. Somehow she thinks that since she has these two cool new balls, well, she needs me to play with her and these balls NON-STOP. She has been enticing me with the shear fun-ness of these balls by dropping them right in my path, tripping me and causing some pretty naughty Utah swear words.
