Big Buzz is getting very popular on our sites----especially ones involving candy. Maybe Debbie would send us a poster of him!

Maddie,
Many thanks to your hubby for picking my name! Tell your friend she did a marvelous job on the candy!!! I never heard of the book (and, me a retired teacher----go figure!!), but I plan to read it if I can find it.
Thanks again,
Portia
P.S. Guess Big Buzz will be disappointed if he swings by here looking for candy!!

Hi Portia :) You are so very Welcome. So glad the Fridget made to you safely & you like him. I am also HAPPY that you won, since you have never won anything before :) The DH pulled your name from the hat. I always worry if you gals like my Fridgets or are just being kind. I love to make them & if you ever get the chance, read the book, I am a Fridget. It is the cutest Christmas story & where I got the inspiration for the Autumn & Valentine Fridgets ;) More to follow in future swaps. The candy shaped like a heart was made by friend. She enjoys making candy.

Maddie,
In all my oohing and aahing, I failed to mention the candy! How could I?????  Delicious!!!!!!!!!!!! Big Buzz might as well forget trying to run or walk here because it is already gone!!
Debbie, you said you and Big Buzz were going out of town. Forget coming here because the candy is GONE!! 
Hugs,
Portia

Maddie,
My Valentine Fridget arrived today and is soooo precious. The picture you put up is cute but doesn't do it justice!! I just kept oohing and aahing over it. I put it in my windowsill in the kitchen for everyone to see. I never win anything, so this was a wonderful surprise. The Fridget will most certainly be decorating my house for Valentine's Day for years to come.
Thank you so very much.
Hugs,
Portia

Hey Maddie and Portia,
Big Buzz cannot run to fast for the moment. He went to kick some snow
off his car under the wheel cover and hurt his big toe. He is not
incapacitated, but I can tell you he cannot run. However, I can. LOL!
Hugs!
Will be out of town for a few days, catch up Friday or Saturday!

Hi All :) Just catching up & I must say what creative ladies you all are. I just LOVE all the diversity in the creations :)
Beth & Debbie, I echo your sentiments, Women can & should run everything. We as Beth said are GREAT multi taskers & women are the care givers as well as soldiers, we fix things or make something from nothing as we go a long ,we are PEACE makers, we are a thrifty lot when it is needed. All I can say is GOD BLESS WOMEN ~~~ I am PROUD to be one of them ~~~~
FARMGIRLS ROCK !!!!!! and then some ~~~~~ Just thought of something Women are the rock

Additional note to our Farm brother Big Buzz,
I am glad you are enjoying your candy bar. You are

part of our sisterhood.
And no fighting, you and Buzzn bee each have your own candy bar!

Buzzn bee,
I am so happy you are enjoying your new tea lights and
the extras I tucked in for you. I am glad I shoose the
colors that you use. I am a pink freak myself. I noticed I
cannot make anything for my Farm Sisters without including
lace. I LOVE lace. Hide that candy bar, from Big Buzz.
Thanks for a great, fun trade.

Dear Debbie!! You are so right!! i've always said women need to run everything!! We can multi-task, juggle, use our glue guns while making a 3 tiered Italian cream cake, wash three loads of clothes while the glue dries on our atc's... so don't tell me we could not make this country what it needs to be!! Hey, when anything is needed who do folks call for.....women!! hehehe
Tell Buzz that we will let him in the club. He's a good guy!! Smiles, Have a wonderful Sunday!! Beth
You can never be to kind! |

Beth,
Your tea-light sounds gorgeous! What a neat way to present it. It really amazes me how we farmsisters can take one idea and turn it into
100 other things. We each have our own take on something and it all turns out to be really WOW!
The government should let us farmsisters run the government. With all of our creative strategies, I am sure we could all do a super job. We all respect, and genuinely care for each other and want only the best for each other. I tell you Beth we could do it! LOL!
Love you dearly friend.
Nosy Big Buzz just asked me who I was tyyping to? I told him you. He said tell her the Big Bro Big Buzz said hello little sister! You girls are making this man rotten. LOL!

How sweet, Debbie and Big ole Buzz!! Love your Valentine lite!! So sweet!!
I received a sweet light from Mary D. today. It was inside a fold out box and in the bottom was a lovely red silk rose with a candle in the middle of the rose. The box was decorated on every side with Valentine paper and was so charming!! Thanks, Mary..I love it!!! Smiles, Beth

Jenne,
Just opened my dark chocolate with rasberry filling candy bar.
Oh My Goodness, I wish all of you farmsisters could taste this. I have had a lot of chocolate with rasberry, but never, have I ever had one that is as decadent as this. This is to die for. I will have to call out the National Guard to guard this heavenly morsel from Big Buzz.
The filling inside is all rasberry. YUMMY!
Thanks Jenne.

WOW! Friend, you did way to much! I love everything! The tea-lights are soooooo gorgeous! You captured my style completely. And of course pink and green are my two most favorite colors. My craft studio is done in shabby chic, with a lot of pink roses.They look like little baskets. So romantic looking.
I love the bag..it looks exactly like a handbag. How cute! My cool socks, I will be wearing them at our church Valentine Carry-in dinner.
It will be very casual. I just bought a new red sweater that has a ribbon that matches the black hearts on the socks perfectly. I will be wearing my red sweater and new socks with my black jeans. Thank you also for my sweet card and wood hanging valentine. I will be hanging it on my craft studio door with my collection of other heart from my favorite ladies..All farmsisters of course.
I cannot wait to dive into the dark chocolate with rasberry candy bar. I will take a little nibble here and there. I want it to last.
I will need to find a safe place to keep Big Buzz grubby stingers out of it. LOL! Speaking of "Big Buzz, You farmsisters are spoiling him rotten!!!!
Remember.. I have to live with him. LOL!
Thank you again for everything! I will close here. Big Buzz is waiting to type you a little note.
Hugs and many, many blessings!
Debbie H.

Hey Jenne, Thanks farmsis for the candy bar! I will have to hide it from Debbie. Ha,Ha! You girls just keep spoiling your old farmbrother,
you will get no complaints from me. ha!
Thanks,
Your sweet, kind, handsome, old adopted MJF Farmbrother Big Buzz.

I love Maddies works of art. You better watch for the mail carrier real close, I may have to intercept and grab that parcel and run like crazy all the way back to Indiana. LOL! Wonder if I will have to barter it away from the mail carrier? LOL! LOL! Better load up on chocolates. ( A good bartering tool) LOL!
Hugs friend!

Roe,
Thank you so much for the precious altered tea lights. Ladies, they are enclosed by white/pinkish artificial roses that smell heavenly. One was inside the sweetest red iron birdcage! Also, thanks for the candy, card, and other goodies. I love everything! Plus, I thought it was so cute that Roe had placed a real piece of rosemary tied with a pink ribbon on top of all the goodies. I am so glad we were partners.
Hugs,
Portia
