I just recently finished the Prairie Schooler "Where there are Bees" cross stitch pattern and was inspired thinking of how bees have such a huge job and do so much good for us. I thought a swap in their honor would be fun.
You would find or make a bee themed item for one partner (tucks allowed if you like, but are in no way required).
Sign up for this would end on June 27th
Partners posted by June 30th
Mail Out by July 5th
PARTNERS:
Treelady - Red Tractor Girl
ptroupe - Beth Jones
Hudsoninaf - PanseyMama
Fille de Ferme - Darlenelovesart
Red Tractor Girl - mrssarahhall
Winnie, thank you for volunteering to take two partners for this one! :) Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. :)

Oh Maddie
I was hoping you would like it. I really had to hunt around here to find bee things. The thing I though I was sure of wasn't there because the store had closed last year.
I am really glad you liked the poem, It was an original.
Have a good day!

Hi Darlene :-) I finally sat down & opened your wonderful array of Bee ~ tiful packages. What a wonderful surprise & so generous. I would have to say my favorite of all is your POEM ;-) Thank You also for the email. I will get to it later today, even though I have the day off, I still have things that need done on the home front & I don't want to rush through my email :-) Such a Sun filled swap makes this gloomy Gus day so much brighter. Thank You again..JPG)

Look for the directions in your program that lets you edit and push rotate if the soft wear lets you do it.
Everything is really neat That silver hive is nice! Fun!

A swarm of Bees arrived at my door late last night from North Dakota!  Oh, Julie, thank you so very much for so many lovely Bee items!! You truly spoiled me!! I am going to enjoy using everything. Hey, FarmGirls, Julie said she has Bees on her land and that North Dakota is #1 honey producer in the nation!!!
OK, now this software turned my photo upside down!! Sorry, Julie but I cannot figure out why sometimes my photos post perfectly and others are goofy. 
Thank-you again Julie for a swarm of Bees bringing me so many BeeHappy goodies!
Have a BeeUtiful Weekend!!

Winnie, I definately do! Thanks again, I took my BEEutiful mug rug to work and everyone is "abuzz" about it. :)
Thanks for posting a photo of what Winnie sent Julie... I am missing a very important cord that I need to download my photos... the package Winnie sent me is almost exactly the same (thanks again for taking us both on Winnie)
Everyone is sending such wonderful Bee items! Thanks for joining in this swap! It is so fun!

Beth, thank you so much for the wonderful solar bee and flowers as well as the paper tuck-ins. One can never have too many of those for scrapbooking. I put the solar bee/flower in my kitchen windowsill with 2 others I have. I love watching them; they are all different. And,the pincushion is sooo cute. It will go right on my chairside table where I applique.
I am so sorry I am late with yours; it will go out by the end of next week. I am usually early, but have have soooo many things going on. Please forgive me!
Hugs,
Portia

Wow the cross stitch is beautiful, You found a lot of nice bee items, they are hard to find around here, I just got lucky when I was looking here.
Those are nice.
Here is a photo of what Maddie sent to me, it so cute and she made the garland and the clip on bee is so adorable. She made the plaque which is hanging on my wall now and sent me a Honey Cake recipe which I am going to try later today.
Thanks so much Maddie
