Hi Marie,
Please add me, this sounds like too much fun already, thanks for hosting :)
I tend to lean toward farmhouse/traditional anything with an old world charm to it.
My favorite things include:
1) handmade ornaments and any crafted Christmas decorations 2) I LOVE to cook and bake 3) milk chocolate 4) snail mail stationery stuff- paper, cards, stamps, die cuts, stickers etc. 5) favorite colors are teal and berry red 6) herbal teas and anything tea related- I had to give up caffeine this past year :(
Yours in Sisterhood,
Michal, Farmgirl #7441 |

Hi Marie,
Please sign me up for this. I look forwards to this swap every year! I have been a part of MJF for ten years and this will be my tenth year participating in this swap. I never miss it. Thank you so much for hosting. I love both traditional and religious.
Things that I like...
1. Anything vintage. 2. Milk chocolate, especially with peanut butter, caramel or peppermint. 3. Lemax villages pieces. 4. Knitting, crochet, quilting, embroidery just about any craft. 5. Baking 6. Books, I love to read pretty much anything.
hugs, Marcy

I'm sorry to say, I must remove myself from this swap. Some things have come up, that would make this an impossible task, sorry for any inconvenience.
