Posted - Jun 09 2013 : 08:50:36 AM I recently read a comment about how much this forum has changed and in the many years I have been here, I totally agree. The swap forum is one of them. So I have decided we need a good old back to basics apron swap. Canning season will be here soon, for many of you much sooner than me, lets start the season off right with a new apron hanging on the back of the pantry door. Aprons can be full or half, totally up to you and your partner. Sign ups will go until june 30th, mail out will be July 31st. Please only sign up if you are sure you can follow through. I know this is a very busy season for all of us, but no one likes to be left out and this swap mama will not tolerate hurt feelings.

Please contact your partners as soon as possible. If you have not received a response by Friday, please contact me and you will be given another partner. Ladies if for some reason you can not follow through with your end of the swap, please notify me, as I have said with all my swaps, I will not tolerate any one left out. Have a lovely 4th of July and I hope you have fun with this swap.
Hugs Julie

Posted - Aug 19 2013 : 11:11:13 AM Look at the beautiful apron that came to my mailbox Friday. Alicia was going on vacation so we agreed that she could mail hers a little later, it certainly was worth the wait. What a beautiful apron, just love the embroidery and colors and she included all sorts of treats from her vacation for me. Thank You so much Alicia for the wonderful package and being a part of the apron swap!

Posted - Aug 16 2013 : 12:07:52 PM I wanted to share with all of you my beautiful apron that my "Swap Angel" sent me, isn't it beautiful? As I am sure some of you can tell my Friend CJ worked with my Angel, so I am fortunate to have another CJ apron in my collection, CJ makes beautiful aprons. This particular one is me, my colors, pockets, everything about the apron. Thank both of you so very much for making my day and making me feel so very special. Farmgirls are awesome and I wonder what we would do as Farmgirls if we did not have Angels among us.
Thank you again my sweet Swap Angel!

I hope you like what I sent, I picked the apron out of my Vintage Collection especially for you as you love flowers. Please check in and let me know you are alright. Hugs, Debbie

Posted - Aug 08 2013 : 11:22:47 AM Lori, I got your apron today and it is beautiful. Thank you so much. I am so happy with it. And for extras I received 2 new dishcloths. I was thinking just last night I needed to make some. How wonderful! And the canning cookbook is filled with delicious looking recipes. thank you for much. I am so glad you like the apron I made you. I saw one just like it at an antique store, but it was brown. Yuck! So I made one in red for you. I hope you don't mind that I post both a picture of both aprons. The red apron I made for Lori and the pretty flower apron Lori sent me!

Posted - Aug 06 2013 : 4:49:24 PM Jenne- Thank you for the beautiful apron and kitchen goodies! They arrived yesterday and my daughter and I were gone most of the day getting ready for school. She said she is going to have her friend Cody wear it the next time he comes over. Thank you again!! And everyone is correct- this was a wonderful swap!

Posted - Aug 06 2013 : 08:19:51 AM Joyce, I got my package this weekend! :) Thank you so much for the beautiful apron and the extras. I always need little pads of paper and the tissues are perfect for my purse. I can't wait to bag up some of the lavender and put it in my pajama drawer! ![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/IMG_0630.JPG) Thanks for being a great swap partner!

Posted - Aug 05 2013 : 6:53:13 PM Shanda I picked up my package today. And I love, love it! The apron is so pretty, red is my favorite color and I love sunflowers! And the 3 nice big dish cloths are wonderful! You do good work. The labels will sure be used. I can't wait to get our house finished, these things will be perfect in my kitchen. Thank you so much, you are so sweet and a great swap partner! I too am glad I joined MJF. I hope your week is a great one. Hugs Sandy The picture doesn't show how pretty the apron is, it is a full apron with a brown ruffle along the edge. So pretty!!!!

Posted - Aug 02 2013 : 4:23:36 PM Joyce, I am glad everything arrived and that you like it. I have never sent anything out of the country before - I was so surprised at all the paperwork I had to fill out that I totally forgot to find out when it would arrive. I had no idea how long it would take to get through customs, but it didn't take long at all! I wish you a safe and happy move.

Posted - Aug 02 2013 : 4:10:03 PM Julie...thanks for a very FUN Swap. I think I enjoyed seeing what everyone got...just as much as seeing what I got. Well, OK...maybe NOT quite as much...but you get the point I am sure. LOL Nothing better than "PICTURES"...so we can all rejoice together and be happy for each other. And any Great Swap is in part due to a Great Hostess...SO THANKS SO VERY MUCH!
Hugs and Blessings, Peggy
