Hey Julie . . . Checked the tracking. Your Snowman is sitting in the postal facility in Fargo awaiting it's final leg of the journey to Medina. Delivery scheduled for Monday (tomorrow). Hope it's cold enough there that he doesn't melt. I know it sure is here. Snowing and blowing like crazy today. Enjoy . . .
Farmgirl hugs,
jean

Yours is being dropped off at the post office tomorrow Jean. Cold we have, but not so much the snowing and blowing. I will be stalking the mail box tomorrow.

Lenora - Your package was supposed to get there yesterday. However, according to tracking, it is "arriving late". I hope it arrives soon.

Hi Darlene, Hope you have your package by now. I love seeing all the ideas everyone has come up with. Never even thought of an angel for the letter A or mug for M lol...

WOW! Lenora - you spoiled me with your SNOWMAN scavenger hunt. And I love your wrapping - wish I had thought of that! And some of the packing material was pages from some quilting patterns. LOL! Thank you so much! And I agree - the hardest to find was something for the Ns
S - 2 cross-stitched stocking ornaments
N - Necklace
O - a wooden truck with tree ornament
W - Wreath ornament
M - a beautiful mug with peppermint and Sweet Dreams tea and a package of blue and white fat quarters
A - a handmade Apron with towel attached
N - a few beautiful notecards
Thank you again - so much!
I wish the mail would get their act together and deliver your box to you.
Farmgirl hugs,

What a fun, fun box was in my mailbox just now!! Thank-you Gail for such adorable and food goodies!! I love your crocheted ornaments(angel and star), washcloth, adorable spoon with a snowman on it, Christmas notecards, essential orange oil, honey coated peanuts and little Milky way bars!! Your homemade snowman card is cute as well.
Thank-you for everything. This was a fun and challenging swap and I had fun seeing what you did to match letters with items.

Hey Julie . . . . Tracking says Snowman arrived yesterday ???? Hope he's not stranded in Fargo. That's a dangerous place. I know because I watched the TV show about it. . . . Should I call UBER for him?

.jpg?v 99184294) Kelly, so nice. Footprints is a favorite poem. I took the card off the box and found the beautiful card, I decided I could not wait until I got home to see the key. I put the card inside my back pack ad have not seen it since. Let me see if I have this correctly. S-nowman N-otebook O-ffray ribbon W-reath M-ilk Chocolate? It is all wonderful. What a fun swap this has been I enjoyed putting your package together. I hope you also enjoy yours and that it arrives soon. I sent it our last week.

What an amazing, fun package I got from Jean. She bumped up the scavenger hunt a notch by wrapping my gifts in beautiful fabric, which I already have a plan for and attaching these fun clues as to what the package contained.

Jean you had me guessing and I only got a few, but I sure enjoyed the challenge and loved every item you picked out. What a fun partner you were. Thank You so much for everything.

So glad the SNOWMAN got home OK. And, I bet you were the only Farmgirl who got a Spider for the S. LOL . . . Glad you liked your goodies. That was the most fun swap by far . . . Thanks for hosting.

I thought that spider and the legend was so unique. I hung the spider on the tree. A wonderful reminder of this fun swap.

I cannot believe the side trips the packages I have mailed are taking. A package to Florida went to Florida, took a side trip to Ohio, and is back in Florida at the distribution center again. The same distribution center that sent it to Ohio last time. It still has not been delivered. And a package I ordered coming from Virginia to Texas, is now in San Diego, California. Isn't that special?

I just saw pictures of a couple of USPS distribution centers. We are lucky we are getting mail at all.

Brenda, I have not received your package yet. I stil need your address too. I have one from years ago. Can't wait to receive and send! Everything is so wonderful that you sisters have done. My computer is awful, it just throws me right off sometimes and I can't get back on. Hoping to be able to complete posting on all my sites before it happens. Yikes! The mail is another story.
Be Blessed and Be a Blessing,

Jean, I just checked your tracking. Your package hasn't been scanned since it left Fargo, it just says in transit and supposed to arrive tomorrow.Fingers and toes crossed that happens.

Woo Hoo . . . I'll be watching for it. In spite of social isolation and all the associated Coronamadnes, this has been the most awesome December I have had in ages. Thank you Farmgirls. Not only has my studio been such a beehive of activity turning out Christmas goodies, but I seem to get "something" in the mail almost every day. Between family and Farmgirls, the cards, and gifties have been pouring in and filling the whole month with Christmas Joy -- Thank you. Thank you.

Lots of really nice packages were sent out.

Don't you love the mail? LOL! Wonder how long it will take the USPS to clear out the backlog that they haven't scanned for weeks.

.jpg?v 75751331)  Wow! My Snowman Scavenger Hunt package arrived yesterday. I had so much fun opening and enjoying each gift. Thank you Winnie (Red Tractor Girl), this has been the highlight of my day. You have such a giving heart and attitude. Thank you seems inadequate for the joy and fun this brought me. Can't wait for the next scavenger hunt! In these pictures you will see I had several little packages to unwrap - S for snowman and another S for a sleigh ride picture. N for a Christmas Nativity - this warms my heart, O for Florida oranges from Winne's tree (have to admit, I ate a couple before taking the picture - they are AWESOME, W for a stitched and framed wreath, M for Mint Jelly ( can't wait to try this, maybe with a little cream cheese on a cracker), A for a beautiful stitched Angel and another N for some cute Christmas napkins. There was also included some tea and a peppermint stick. Thank you Winnie, blessings and hugs to you and all you wonderful Farmgirls for a special Christmas for you and your loved ones!

I love seeing all these beautiful packages. Those oranges look so good, what a treat to receive from Winnie. Jean, your package is still showing "in transit" I maile it priority, I would hate to think what would have happened if I sent it ground shipping. Hope it gets to your doorstep soon.

Oh my how delightful those fresh home grown oranges must seem in mid-winter Minnesota.
Not to worry, Julie, sending mail these days is like traveling by air -- the minute you enter the Post Office or airport, you have lost control. Whenever it arrives, it will be wonderful I know. I am having the same frustrations with the Christmas Stocking swap package I sent to Vanessa in Kentucky. Trying to outsmart the postal system, I sent it by UPS early last week. Tracking has it scheduled for December 22. I'm going to be so unhappy if it doesn't get there by Christmas.
Farmgirl hugs,
jean
