I am mailing your package out tomorrow.
I am working on your package still Marlee. I want to make my own paper flowers for the tops of the straws. I'm determined to get the hang of it. lol
Half the fun is loading the envelope with goodies. I hope you like all the little treasures I'm including for you.
I hope everyone will post their packages so we can see all the beautiful creative loaded envelopes from each farmgirl.

Thank you, Marsha! I can't wait to see everyones creations! Was fun creating... Kristi suggested we do another loaded envelope swap before the holidays as she found lots of inspiration on pinterest for holiday themed loaded pockets - I think that is a great idea!
Becca Lou, love your loaded envelope above as well, so pretty!!

Hi Dianna, Currently, I have mine posted on my bulletin board directly behind my work desk, too pretty, want to enjoy, but I'm thinking it will eventually be inserted into one of my junk journals, but if I do that, the darling little curls Kristi created my get flattened, so I'm on the fence... but I think it will still look just as beautiful if the curls are a bit flattened, I also thought about permanently borrowing one of my boys nerf darts, cutting it in half and inserting those under the curls to keep them up... shhhhh... don't tell my boys! LOL!!

    Ok, by now y'all know I'm slow...so many interruptions! But here are some pictures of the many things that Dianna stuffed into the envelope she sent to me. She made some awesome things!!! Thanks so much!
In the top photo you see some of the round pretties Dianna made to fill the pockets in this pretty book. Nine in all. So much detail.
In the next photo you can see the little book.
Next is a trifold, tag shaped card or book. The other side is blank...but not white! It is tea or coffee stained???? Also a very intricate and beautiful card she made.
Next photo is tags and more tags!!!
The bottom picture is the envelope and it's contents.

The top photo is the fancy card Dianna made. It is stunning.
Next are two little books made like old timey match books.I
Lastly is the pretty clips, Some yummy teas and a straw, coated with pineapple sugar.?? You put it in a glass of tea and sip!
Dianna, this was such a fun package to open. Every time I look through, I find more. You spent hours on this. Hugs my friend!

Thanks April. Did you get an email from me, asking what a smash book is? I know what a junk journals is...but not a smash book. I saw that you are hosting a swap. I'm just curious!

Marsha these are the pockets in the pretty little book with the bird on the front.
This is the detail she added on the envelope. In the last photo of the first set you can see the envelope behind the tea packet.
I don't know what the pockets are made of, not waxpaper, not vellum like I've seen before, but fragile. Maybe Dianna can tell us...

Oh my dear heavens Joanna!!! First of all I've been in a panic for 2 days! I knew I picked up the box from the po but I couldn't find it ANYWHERE in the house or my car!!! I was dumbstruck UNTIL I took Sara to school today in the truck and lo & behold there was my mail and the box from 2 days ago! I'm such a ditz!
But wow oh wow what an amazing loaded envelope! The envelope itself is made from beautiful paper with bling and charm! THEN chock full of ribbon, tags, booklet, sticky bling bling, a beautiful set of handmade cards and notepad and a tissue holder!!!! Such talent! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Beautifully crafted and your card was so sweet! Blessings Joanna!!!X

Marilyn I am so happy you liked it! Yea! :)
April the envelope itself is just a long envelope with a curled closure. The accordion booklet is made using parchment paper. Then the twisted card was so hard to make it took 3 times to get IT right!!! Just trying unusual new things. I can send you a link to the accordion styled booklet. I had thought about making one smaller for the atc's!!

Parchment! Perhaps I should use my roll now and then and get familiar with the feel.
I have not baked any sweets in quite a while. Lightening strike six or eight months ago took my oven. I have a toaster oven, which is ok for us.
