I saw these quotes today about bees and wanted to share them with you.
It is not how busy you are, but why you are busy —
the bee is praised, the mosquito is swatted.
~Author Unknown
How doth the little busy Bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From ev'ry op'ning flow'r!
~Isaac Watts (1674–1748),
excerpt from "Idleness and Mischief" (children's hymn) |

Marlee -
Glad you like everything and it arrived in the pieces it was supposed to. LOL!
The potholder is a microwave bowl potholder - for you to put a bowl in IN the microwave, so when heated you can take it out of the microwave and not burn your fingers. |

Winnie, I love the little bee poem by Issac Watts. Has always been my favorite.
Well, today I received the "sweetest" package from my swap partner, Carole. She wrapped all up in brown paper packages. I love it. So pretty I hated to open them. But I am glad I did! She sent me a beautifully stitched towel and a cute little bear jar of honey, from Canada. I miss getting my brothers honey from there. Some honey roasted peanuts. I can sit and eat the whole jar of those. But I'll have to piece them out so they last longer.  last but not least a book called Honey, from flower to table. Looks very interesting. Have to grab a cup of tea,with honey of course and sit for a bit to read it. Thank you so much Carole! Thank you for being my swap partner!!

Denise, glad you enjoyed your package. I love honey roasted peanuts myself. It took a lot of will power not to open that jar! lol
I received your package yesterday too, oh what a treat! Thank you so much Denise for spoiling me. I will post pictures soon. It's a busy time for me at the moment!

| Winnie - Emi and Aly are both running fevers, so we did not make it to the post office this morning. I will be sending your box with Brad on Monday when he goes in for his internship. I'm so sorry it hasn't been sent yet! |

Linda am so glad you like them. I wanted to sew the bees on the towel. But my hands have been giving me fits so I thought you could sew them on or use them however you wanted. But I really enjoyed this swap. So happy you were my swappie. Whoohoo!

| So glad you liked it Carole. That was my first time making a mug rug. Not quite the dimensions it was supposed to be. |

Oh my goodness, look what Buzzed down too Florida from Shannon in Wyoming!!!
Shannon, everything was so fantastic!! Wow, you did an awesome job creating that quill bees and flowers picture too. It it just gorgeous!! Then there were hand rolled beeswax candles, Burt's Bees hand lotion and chapstick, delicious honey hard candies, a darling pin cushion, bee themed embroidery , and wild flower sees for attracting bees. Thank-you so very much for such a fun swap. I loved how you had it all packaged up too. I will definitely enjoy using all of my goodies. It was all very special!! |

| Winnie - so glad you received it and like it! I came to this post to write you a message to see if you had received it - somehow I missed that you had posted regarding it! I'm really glad you liked the quilling project.. that was my first attempt and have found that I love that activity!!! My oldest quills, and she thoroughly enjoys it - I can now understand why! |

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for what he has done.
Philippians 4:6
Just follow God unquestioningly.
Because you love Him so, for if you trust His judgment there is nothing you need to know.

Sherry, Thank you so much for my sweet package! Love,love the table mat you made for me! Have it on the table with yellow, white and green flower arrangement on it :)! The honey straws are yummy, as is the hard candy! Love Burt's Bees, so that body lotion will be put to good use! The Hive and honey bee cookie cutter are the cutest! I want to make a wall hanging to put in our room. One will have Honey Bees, flowers and the honey pot (I can use the cookie cutters to cut out the clay that I am going to use). Then the other will be birds and flowers. The clay will be put onto old wood before being hung. Can hardly wait to get to Abbye's studio to make these - so excited!
Oh, I almost forgot about the Honey Do List, Dave got a chuckle out of that, cause he knows I will use it! Thanks aslo for your beautiful handmade card! I think you made the Honey Do note paper as well! You are sooo talented!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU |
