Call me crazy, but I'm already thinking about Christmas... I absolutely LOVE Christmas - it is such a wondrous time of the year, full of hope and promises, love and good cheer! So I decided why not have a Christmas in July swap... I wanted to give everyone plenty of time to get your boxes ready... Basically my thought process is to share some Christmas joy in July.
Sign ups will end June 30th

Beth, I picked up the package at the post office and Hadlee opened it for me. She was as excited as me. Thank you for all the cute things and the beautiful kitchen towel. I love the apron. We just completed a mini apron swap of hostess aprons...so it is perfect. I want to share a photo of it tomorrow. My old house is dark and not good for taking photos in the evening. I love my gifts. Thank you. I hope your soreness goes away.

Thanks for understanding, Cyndie!! I have been a bit frazzled this past week...in addition to all the other things which caused delay, today marks one year since my Dad passed away. So, I am not on quite on top of things, as I usually try to be. Thanks, again! |

Hey Bev! I did receive it, but it disappeared from my Inbox before I got to reply . No worries - I am very sorry for your loss.

Cyndie: I sent you an email regarding getting my package sent to you. I do not know if you received it, but thought
I better check with you, this way, as well...just to make sure. I had a friend pass away, and her funeral was mid-week, which caused a further delay.. Your package will be sent out on Monday. Thanks for your patience with me. Again, I loved your package!! Thank you!! |

I received my lovely box of goodies from Becky! WOW! I was more than spoiled! Thank you Becky - you have no idea how much I needed to feel loved right now! Sadly, both snowman items broke on the way here :( The larger figurine the nose broke off of, and the "Friends" one, the nose broke of one of the snowman and the whole thing was broken in to two. Hubby thinks he can fix them though! The tea smells beyond delightful (I'll have one in the morning!), and the book is surely a treasure. And you sent a Willow Tree figurine! I was blown away! Thank you so very very much! She is beautiful! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas <3

I am glad you liked your box. I too leave my snowmen out until the end of January. I received my box as well. I love what you picked out. Sorry I am so late to post but my grandkids came for a week and I had my hands full. Thank you for being such a generous swap partner.

Thanks, Cyndie!!! I will be on the look out for it. I am excited!! As I "think" I mentioned to you, it will be toward the end of this week, until I will be able to get your sent out. Thanks for your patience with me!! From what I can tell, we certainly do seem to be "kindred spirits", as you said. |
