Beautiful cards in the mail Yesterday!! Thank you Marlene!  I love the poem inside and I collect vintage hankies!! I am gonna make something, maybe a Valance out of them. I saw that on Pinterest
Also Beautiful handmade flowers from Rebecca with my favorite one on the card, Daffodils! I have wanted to try that but I think my fingers aren't nimble enough!
mail came just now with a Celebration of Spring! Thank you Dianna! Reminds me of my Beloved 1970's! I love the Spring List!! 
I just really, really love making and receiving these cards. Lily June and I love taping them up on the bookcase every month. When neighbors or family come in they always stopped to read and comment on how special it is!
Hugs! Connie Imagine....#3392 |

Marlene, I love your sweet poem and the special hankie. I have always loved pretty hankies. Thank you.
Rebecca I have always admired quilling, but never learned to do it. Thank you for the pretty card. I hope you are doing well.

Rebecca, Thank you for my beautiful card. I have tried and tried to do quilling. My paper ends up everywhere but where I want it, and my designs..well let's just say; my flowers look wilted. LOL!
Hugs and Giggles!

Dianna, I love this card!! How stinkin cute!! Makes me want to put on my tiara and my sunglasses and stroll through town. It would be fun to walk up to someone who looks a little sad and say to them Don't Let Anyone Dull Your Sparkle. Thank you again for the sweet and ever so true card.
Hugs and Giggles and Lots of Sparkles too.

Oh my Marlene! How precious and sweet your card is. The Happy Hanky poem is just to cute to even try and describe. Besides I would not want to ruin for the other Farm Sisters. But girls, trust me, you will love it! The Hanky is beautiful! I will be sharing this with the ladies in my church.
Thank You Thank you!
Hugs and Giggles to you dear friend. I have missed you. I am so glad to back on MJF.

Many thanks to my farm girl sisters for sending me cards even though I couldn't participate
this month. It's nice to be remembered like that.
Thanks to Marlene for her sweet hanky and poem, Rebecca- love the quilled flowers and
Dianna for her cheery "sparkle" card and spring poem inside. Thanks everyone for the
special wishes and prayers.

Thank you, Dianna. We were out camping last week and waking to birds singing in the trees around our little camper was a delight. I love birds!!!

Connie, I am so glad to be back. I too have all of my swap treasures. They are priceless to me. Each one is a gift from the heart. And that is what a true treasure is. I keep everything. I love all of the cards I have received from my farmsisters throughout the years. It is real joy to go back time and time again to look at them and soak in all the love they represent.
Your card from Mary is gorgeous!!!!!
Mary you are so talented! We have a lot of humming birds where I live. They are so much fun to watch. It is amazing how small they are, but yet they can put up a big fight if another hummingbird tries to gain control over their nectar. LOL!
And I love the morning glories you painted on the cards that I have seen posted. My grandmother, when living, always made sure the two gates entering into her backyard were covered in morning glories.
The talent that you have in being able to paint is a true gift. I have tried painting before. LOL! I have even tried painting using the paint by number sets. They were pretty sad to look at. LOL! I will leave the beauty of painting to creative and gifted gals like yourself.
Hugs to all!!!!

Love all the cards so far. Happy you all liked the hankys. I found so many at estate sales in Florida and wanted to share them with you. Love the poem too. reminds me of my mom and grandma who always carried hankys and wore aprons. come to think of it men had handkerchiefs also. thank you for all the beautiful cards ladies.
Farmgirl friends are fun. |

Marlene, Thanks for sharing your treasure hunt! My granny always carried several Hankies in her purse. I can't ever remember her without one, even in her apron pocket!
Debbie, I feel the same way about Farmgirl Treasures! Do you remember making this? It has been one my kitchen counter ever since it came in the mail I think it was about 3-4 years ago! It has been loved and used!!

Aww, Connie, you are so sweet. Glad you enjoyed your card. I was so afraid the ribbon would come off during transit. Looks like everything remained intact. Even the worry line I developed on my forehead from worrying about the ribbons. LOL!
Have a great evening farmsistah!
