Hi Shelly :-) I hope you received my email ? I believe the Lord is at work here as you have shown great strength through your pain to bring a Smile to My Heart. The death of my friend came unexpectedly & has caused me to question my faith. I hope you will find some relief from your pain in knowing that your swap means even more because I know that you cared enough & at Great expense, honored a swap, that some would not have done. It shows Great character & a True Farmgal Spirit. I am honored to have you as a my partner. I will keep you in my prayers, for a speedy recovery.....JPG)

Madeline I am so sorry it has taken me so long to send a message. I put my back out and have been dealing with Dr appointments and all kinds of pain. I am going to try and finish the sewing project I started for you today and will mail it out as soon as I can. I will email you when I send it out.

Portia I love my box.
As for the stickers I found them in some stuff at a school I used to work at and they came from the original owners of the school when they ran it so they were very vintage stickers. The pig in sheeps clothing I found at a rummage sale and thought it fit in perfectly. I thought Baa Baa Blacksheep fit in their perfectly, I found another book like it only on a different animal. i am glad you liked the sheep with wooden legs too.and the fabric and stuff. I had a hard time finding sheep things and then it all came together. It was fun putting it together and I am glad you liked it.
I really am glad you liked the box, it was my first one.
Have fun and thank you so much for mine.
hugs
darlene

Darlene, crazy me! I left out one of the cutest things in the box...a sheep made from real wool with wooden legs. I have one similar that belonged to an aunt of mine. They will look so good together. See...you gave me too much!
Hugs,

Darlene, I am so glad you liked everything. I had so much fun making those coasters. I had looked at that pattern several times and wanted to make them but never got around to it. So, when I saw the Sheep Swap, I thought they would be perfect. I feel like my package was skimpy compared to yours....maybe we should start mass-producing sheep items!!
Hugs,
Portia

Darlene, I received my wonderful box stuffed full of sheep items today. Thank you so much!! It is all great. I have no idea where you found all those things because sheep items around here were hard to come by! The hand-painted sheep box is beautiful. You are very talented! The white ribbons will definitely get used in Christmas decorations. The 3 sheep figurines are precious and I love stickers.....can't believe you found those with sheep. Baa Baa Black Sheep book...why didn't I think of that? I taught that to my own children as well as hundreds of my kindergarten students over the years. The seeds will be planted next year and I will think of you when I eat spinach...which I love. Thanks for the tea bags as well; I love hot tea.....much needed here in the North!That bank with the pig head and sheep body is too cute. How did you know I can cross stitch? The book is adorable. And, last but not least....sheep fabric....too cute!! Thank you again for everything. I feel like I need to send you another box of things!
Hugs,
Portia

I received your package today and love those coasters.
Yes it was hard to find sheep that is why I made part of yours as well.
I sent yours yesterday and sent you an email.
Thanks so much Portia.

How cute! Love the stiched sheep and the vase!
Brenda, I received my flock tonight! THANK YOU! Today was a big deadline at work and I was just feeling really drained when I got home, but after I opened my amazing package DH said, Wow someone seems to have gotten a second wind! I love, love, love (love!) the sheep you made me and the heart is so cute! I have several others you made me from other swaps and I just love them all. I really loved that it said Pretty In Pink on it and the addition of the zipper is so clever, you are so creative! The pretty kitchen towel you sent me couldn't have been more perfect. This year was a really great year for foraging for mushrooms, which is something my mom and I used to do together a lot. Now we live far apart and we didn't get to go this year. She went and sent me photos of all her wonderful finds. :) I may not have gotten to go foraging for mushrooms, but my kitchen is all prettied up with a mushroom towel now. THANK YOU. I do hope you are feeling OK. <3

Beth - I finally got home from MD yesterday and your flock was awaiting me - and oh my what a lovely flock! The magnets are so precious and are already gracing my fridge. My kiddos are already threatening to steal my pen and eraser. The framed stitchery is so beautiful - you truly are talented! And the vase - oh my is it lovely! I have never seen anything like it, and absolutely love it! Thank you so much!
