Hi Farmgirls, This is going to be such a fun swap!
So heres how the 3 item swap works. The 3 items you swap are:
1. A hand written recipe ( maybe Christmas theme?!)
2. Something homemade
3. Something bought.
And thats it! Doesn't this sound like fun?! All the items will be christmas theme.
So here are the rest of the details.
Sign up ends November 1st.
Mail by date is November 30th. If something comes up and you are no longer able to do the swap please let me know asap.
I'm going to partner everyone up so please when you sign up post how many partners you want.
And I think thats it. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me or post here.
Hugs,
Hannah

Hi Anna, (ayates)

I sent the 3 crochet dolies that were handmade by a
friend of mine. one was pink and two were white.
didnt think I put in a cross stitched stocking?
trying to remember what all I did put in extra besides
crochet things and the recipe? was a hectic week getting
christmas stuff finished up I was running behind schedule.

Sue - I just realized in the busyness of the holidays, I failed to post a thank you to you. Your package was wonderful! The wreath you made is so beautiful that it is going to hang all year in my sewing room. The chocolates - oh my the chocolates are out of this world! I'm writing at work and not remembering everything that was packed in my special package, but please know that I love and appreciate it all!

Kangarookate -- I received your 3 item Christmas swap. I love the little cross stitched stocking. Since one item was to be handmade, I was marveling over your handiwork when I saw a tag "made in the Philippines" Now I'm confused - did you make it? |

LOL - I'd say a very successful swap is one where both sides think THEY were the spoiled ones! Glad you liked everything and thanks for being my swap partner!!
Your son is too funny....tell him he can have the oven mitt and potholder only if he bakes cookies for you through the winter :)

Catherine, I spoiled YOU?!? More like you spoiled ME! My package arrived today! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the box of ornaments! The box is beautiful! But when I opened it!....OMG!!! I could not believe how many ornaments you packed in it! I LOVE them ALL and will cherish them for years to come! We are a little slim on ornaments....we lost our home in a fire in March 09. Last year's tree was pretty bare :) I guess it took me years to collect the ones I had, so it will take years to collect again. Your ornaments will be a special part of the new collection! The snowflakes are too AWESOME! I can't believe they are paper! My son says the oven mit & hot pad are his....since they have the Toy Soldiers on them :) He loves to help out in the kitchen. The Gum Drop recipe sounds yummy & fun to make! Time is quickly running out but I'm thinking that I'll have to give them a try after the holidays!
Thank you for all that you sent! Happy belated birthday & I hope your cold is long gone! I'm also sending you an email!

Beverly, I already posted under the cookie swap real quick but I wanted to post here too....thank you so much for my lovely package!! I love everything you sent. How did you know I needed a new recipe box? Well, not a new so much as another.....I have too many recipes lol. This one's perfect and even comes with a few recipes! I will have to try those cheesecake bars soon, they sound yummy. I have already had a cup of yummy tea (to try the cookies with, of course!), and the festive tissues and cute button wreath ornament are all greatly appreciated. But the jar with the embroidered cardinal is my favorite, I just love cardinals and this one is real special and every time I see it I will think of you and the wonderful virtual farm we have here :)
Thank you again for spoiling me so! Even the outer packaging looked so festive, I did not want to unwrap it (almost!). The red gingham kraft paper looked great, even my ups guy commented on how nice it looked!
I am sad to say, your package did not go out until today. I was finally able to do the baking part today. In fact, your package came while I was baking and I didn't even open it until I got home from the post office, I was on a tight time schedule to get a ride there and I had some other stuff to mail too so the ride was greatly needed lol. But it finally did go out and you should have it soon!
Oh, and I almost forgot to say that the timing of it coming today was nothing short of magical....I am battling the tail end of a cold and trying to baby myself while I catch up with life stuff, feeling calm now but awoke sort of harried so it was a bright light AND today is my birthday and it was neato to get a big ol' box on my birthday!! Thanks again for being my partner on these two swaps!!

Yes Anna, it came 2 days ago and itis really nice. You know I love the crocheted potholders! and the pine scent of the Meyers hand soap and lotion is so Christmasy. I'm sending you a few other things, bought yesterday, but can't mail until Mon. I don't want you to be disappointed, especially at Christmas. Happy holidays! |

Vintagesaver --- Have you received my gift (handmade & vintage of something that you collect) I know you said you would not accept anything from me as you were angry with me for being disappointed. I do hope you've reconsidered. Happy Holidays! |

Violetrose,
You are so welcome sweetie. I really enjoyed shopping for you! This has been a very fun swap! I do apologize that you received it later than I had hoped for, but my hip had my do's and do not's LOL! I am feeling much better. I will still keep my eye open for Gingerbread items for you.
Take Care Friend, Farmgirl hugs, and please have a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Annette,
I received my swap from Jaiden today! Actually it had been at the PO for 2 days they said but this was the first I could get there. Tell her I love everything she sent. A gardening journal, I have never seen one of these before but will surely love using it. A tea bag holder. How cute that is! Tea is my favorite thing to drink and I will be using it to take tea to work with me. A handy little holder to keep in my purse. Definitely will be making the Snickerdoodle recipe. Thank her for me, I've enjoyed swapping with her!

Denise / Levisgrammy, we made the cookie recipe tonight and I doubt this batch will make it to Jaiden's Girl scout meting tomorrow night..... we are eating them as they come out of the oven. We mixed in some dried cranberries with orange essence in half the mix just to test it out... I suggest trying that... yummmmieeee. This is such a simle recipe, quick to put together. Again, Thank you so much for being Jaiden's swap partner, she had a wonderful time doing this!

KANGAROOKATE --- I USPS'd your treasures on Nov 29th, surely you've received them by now??? Shall I file a lost package report? Oh, and I haven't received anything from you! What's up? |

TheresaJ...thank you so much for your package. I was first hit with the wonderful smell of Scottish soap. The embroidered towel was really neat and the hanky ironed would be the greatest doily for a little table I have. The paper products were great for me to use right now, and may I tell you that the buttoned satchel was one of the cutest things I have ever seen. The recipe looks easy and I have all the things on hand. Hope you can use the cloth bag I sent. It was made by a nurse who takes the proceeds to contribute to the children's hospital here to help for those who have no insurance. The glass plate could hold some of that fudge recipe I sent. I really makes a lot and is very very tasty...not so sweet like alot of fudges. Blessings on your holidays and thank you for wonderful gifts. ....Claudia

We lost our home & pretty much everything in it in a fire March 09 & I've had to start collecting ornaments all over again!...they will be put to good use :) (last year's tree was pretty bare! LOL!) I've already read a few pages of the book :) Did you make the doily? It's so pretty! Like I said...LOVE it ALL!!! Thank you so much!

Denise / Levisgrammy, Jaiden recieved her package today. She is so tickled with everything you sent her. She plans on wearing the little pin to a Girl Scout service project with younger kids this week. We are also going to make a batch of cookies with the recipe you sent for her to share with her troop and I know she will want to use the potholder you made.. she loves the yarn color! Oh, I think she is going to hang the little mittens on my MJF tree with all the other swap ornaments we have.
Thank you for thinking of her, she really enjoys getting to play with us.
ps... we mailed your package almost 2 weeks ago, have you recieved it?

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, these swaps are for fun and to show each other kindess and friendship.......Vintage Saver, you did not deserve that treatment and I'm sorry it happened to you. How insensitive of your swap partner! Fortunately these things don't happen very often, but you were right to post the rudeness and I hope you have received an apology. Lin

Betty Jo of SD I just received your package today-thank you so much, and I received the envelope on friday with the handmade bookmarks and recipe. I love your tatting! I have two little mini trees I put out on our bay window-so all the ornaments and tatting pieces are hanging already. The stocking was too sweet, along with the porcelein stocking ornament-thank you. I really loved the vintage fabric made into ornament! thank you for everything, I enjoyed being your swap partner-hugs Kathy
