In an effort to keep the art of letter writing alive and well, I have increased the amount of handwritten letters I send out. The upside is that my handwritting skills have improved and the recipiants have enjoyed getting the letters. The downside is... my stash of notecards has dwindled to almost nothing!
So... Who would like to have a notecard swap?
I would!
*Rules*
Notecards can be purchased or handmade. Minimum of *8* cards.
Let me know how many partners you would like.
You may drop out of the swap if needed, just let me know so I can adjust partners accordingly.
Signup ends May 6th. I will post partners May 7th.
Please mail out your notecards by May 21st.
Sound good?

Have fun swap partners!
I would also like to suggest to everyone to read the post "Swap Etiquette". It is very helpful if you have any questions about the "ins and outs" of swapping. I will *bump* the post for all to see!
If you have any problems contacting your swap partner, please let me know!

Just a note to check in- I have not received my cards from either partner (Fairlee or Penny Wise), nor have I noticed their posting about receiving the cards that I sent to them. Hope everything is ok with both of my partners!

CJ and Teresa, you are so very welcome! I'm so soo happy that you both like your notecard sets! This swap was ridiculously fun! I absolutely loved every minute making these cards! I was totally in my happy place!
And to our hostess with the mostest! Thank you so much for the beautiful and extremely thoughtful notecards! Due to my passion for fashion and my career in the industry, Teresa made Harper's Bazaar(my favorite fashion magazine) themed notecards for me! They're utterly amazing!
She also made me an owl notecard (I currently have an obsession with the bird! hahaha), a pink lemonade recipe notecard (my favorite beverage), and two beautiful vintage butterfly notecards. I love them all! Thank you for my incredible notecards and thank you for hosting this swap! I hope you do it again!
Farmgirl hugs & kisses,
<3 Kate

Dear Deborah,
I am so glad your cards got to you safely. I enjoyed making them and thinking of you as I did. Isn't it wonderful to meet all of these farmgirl sisters this way? Thank you for understanding why I was a bit slow getting them off!
Fondly,
Rebecca

I LOVE them!
The picture doesn't do these cards justice... they are just wonderful!

Thank you Linda Jo for all my notecards, you sent way too much. Loved the towel
hung it right up and the pens were too cute, and I put the sachet packet in the
bathroom to keep it pretty smelling.  |

Hi Toni
Returned from the post office and your package was waiting for me. The note cards are really cute and handmade. I like the many colors and the fact that I can use them in a variety of ways, generic enough to use for just thinking of you etc. Thanks also for the kitchen towel-my favorite color and the candies. Thanks for the lip balm, use alot of that here, and the list pad, I use those continuously. blessings Linda
