I love swapping, its one of my hobbies. I am wondering if anyone would be up for a Whimsy Jar Swap here...we could do the first one with a PINT size mason jar, then if there is more interest for another, we could go up to a quart size.
You would fill a real Canning Jar with whimsical things related to farmgirls, depending on your partners hobbies (embroidey, quilting, rubber stampping, altered art etc) and animals on their farm, you would tailor the jar fillings to that...like embroidery floss, animal rubber stamps, buttons, farm related fridge magnets, small handmade soups, natural lip balm, ribbon etc.
Here is a picture of a Whimsy Jar I sent someone, it was not farmgirl related but it will give you an idea of what it looks like.
If you do a search for Whimsies or whimsy jar at www.flickr.com, you will see alot of other examples.
So, please post here to sign up for the swap, after assigning partners, I will let you contact your own send to partner for their address, I would rather not have everyone's address.
Sign up date until December 20th, you must mail your Whimsy PINT jar to your partner by January 20th. That will give you a month to find sweet farmgirl whimsies for your partner.
Swappers must live in the USA or Canada, due to the cost of shipping.
Note: When swapping with "strangers" you are doing so at your own risk, but I would like to think farmgirls are loyal, honest girls and would not shaft their fellow farmgirl. So if after "signing" up, you feel like you could not make the mail by deadline, prior to December 20th, please drop me a note and I will take you off the Whimsy Jar swappers list for this round. We will need to end up with an even amount of swappers to make it easy for me to assign partners. 
So, who wants to swap a Farmgirl Whimsy jar??
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Just to let everyone know I received my whimsy jar from Cheryl and I LOVE it. We both emailed each other as we were unable to make the cut off date, so we agreed to send the jars later. I sent mine off yesterday, Cheryl I hope you like it, had a blast shopping for the stuff!!! |

I was wondering if anyone has heard from tangledthreads (Michele) she hasn't posted in a long time and I'm starting to get worried about her. She was in that car accident a while back and I am hoping all is well. If anyone knows please post.
Hugs,
Jane

Hello, I just got around to seeing this and unfortunately I see that it is finished for the time being. If anyone is interested in doing this again at any time, please let me know. I would love to get in on this. Also, looking for some crafting friends in and around Rhode Island.
Thanks and have a wonderful day!

ladies...Hello!!
Hope everyone has received or has the Whimsy Jar enroute to their partner by now..if you are running a little late ( like I was ) please communicate that with your partner!
Jane, your Whimsy Jar headed off today..thanks for understanding my lateness..such a bad example to the rest..sorry, life threw me some unexpected turns this past month, got myself all behind in everything..typing with a brace is no fun either so its kept me off the computer!!
Please post to this thread about receiving or not, thanks!!
Hugs

CHeryl, Glad you enjoyed all the goodies in the jar! This was my very first swap and I was alittle unsure of what kinds of things to include but when I saw all the cute cute things you put in my jar it inspired me to get more creative with the next jar swap...Again, thanks for all my lil whimsys..I have been crafting every day and have used several of the little embellishments already :)

My jar is full, but my partner (vintagegirl) and I are in another swap (potholders) so I am gonna finish up my potholders and send it to her. Hopefully next week... had a bad ear infection and that set me back. Can't wait to pop it in the mail  |
