I am soooo glad you got it......lots of people have had things stolen and I was just worried that you got ripped off. I have a note to go to the Post Office for a package so yours may be waiting for me. I will go to town today for feed and run in and pick it up.
Merry Christmas to you ... and to everyone of my swap sisters. May your Christmas hold all the wonder that new born baby brings.

Daizy I'm sorry, I haven't been on lately. I've been busy with Christmas fun! I did receive it, thank you so much for all the goodies! The candy is almost gone, I love the mittens and arm warmers, scarf, mason jar glass, snowman, bird, I haven't tried the incense or the scent warmer yet, but I will as soon as my studio is converted back into my space and done being used as Santa's workshop! Thanks so much again! Did you get the third box I sent you??

Emily -
Box #3 from you was waiting for me at the post office when I returned from my Thanksgiving holidays. I LOVE all the thought you put into this box and everything in it. Emily carved a FARMGIRL stamp with a Henrietta chicken and my MJFG #1919 on it. Then she printed 5 notecards with it and sent it with red and black pens so I could make more! WOW! So talented! Then she included 2 Christmas books that she has enjoyed reading and thought I would enjoy: The Christmas Bus and Midnight Clear - and, YES! They sound like wonderful holiday stories. I can't wait to start them tonight. And then two kinds of homemade cookies - they look so yummy! Please send the recipes? Thank you soooooo much for everything! Oh - and I very nice note and thank you card. This has been a wonderful swap and I have enjoyed getting to know you a little better.
Farmgirl hugs,

Diana,
I got your fabulous box a few days ago. I absolutely loved the mason jar cup. It has come in handy today with me coming down with a head cold. The 3tier candy dish is sitting perfectly on my table. Your husband did a wonderful job making it, and you on the cup. Thank you again form being my swap partner.

Stephanie - I received your lovely third box. Thank you so much! The throw is so soft and pretty! I have never seen a scented wax warmer and am so excited to try the gingerbread cookie waxes! The mitten ornaments are absolutely adorable! The gingerbread man candy dish is so cute! And I love chocolate ;) And the book - a delightful book of recipes, stories, craft ideas and decorating tips - is just fantastic! Thank you so very much!
Have you received yours? It should have been there either Saturday or yesterday!

Jaimey, I told you I'd be posting today with pictures and braggin' on your awesomeness.  I've loved all my packages and the third one blew me away with the amount of thought you put into it. Love it. 
Other than for taking the pictures, the scarf has pretty much been on my neck since I opened the box. I wore the snowflake earrings to work today - appropriate since we had some flakes flying in the wintry mix. HOW do you make those?.. so intricate and delicate, lovely. It is so neat that you sent me two things featuring raspberries the same month I sent raspberry stuff to you.  Can not wait to get into that candy bar and I'll savor the candy cane, too. Just so much fun stuff packed in there! Sweet heart ornament, coasters, neat little bag for trash or such in the car, nice little pink nail file (my color), really cool bar of soap and would you believe I almost bought that CD last week?!?! Told myself "I'm not supposed to be shopping for me." Ha ha and lo and behold you send it to me. But the fun won't end there - it goes all the way to the 24th!! I love that you took the time to make an advent box calendar for me and will thoroughly enjoy a little quiet break each evening to open a sweet box from you. Thank you so much! You've been a great swap partner and are a truly wonderful person.
  
Blessings, staci FG# 973

Oh my, I have never heard of a microwave hot pad but what an amazing idea! I seem to always grab something out of there that is way to hot. We will be putting it to use and I would love the pattern. Such a cool idea!

I'm glad you liked everything, Emily. And I hope the stocking stuffers are something they can use. That's neat about the tree top angel. It is an older pattern so may be exactly like the one you remember. The Solar Turkey is a fun feel-good gadget and was just a cute tuck I added; I bought several for some swap gifts and received one myself in a swap. This was a fun swap for me, too.
NOTE: The fabric bowl can be used on a table for candy; however, it is really a Microwave Bowl Potholder that I made. (If you'd like to make some I can send the pattern to you.) You put your cereal bowl or soup bowl in it in the microwave to cook. Then you do not need to use a potholder to remove the hot bowl from the microwave; it is already sitting IN its potholder. Saves putting fingers and potholders into the hot bowl when you pick it up.

Dear Linda, you are wonderful. I loved your box. There were so many great things in my box. I kept the stocking stuffers for the girls a secret, they will love them. The fabric bowl is great. I am oddly impressed everytime I see one that they can hold their shape. I have never had one though and it will go great on our coffee table with candy in it. I hung the stockings over my desk at home. I spend a fair bit of time there and will see them everyday. The girls and I do a little schooling outside school and their desks are next to mine so they will enjoy them too. Perhaps I will have to replenish the stockings regularly this month. My whole family has been enjoying the turkey who has a prominent home on our kitchen/breakfast counter. My favorite part of this box was the tree topper angel. Not only is she beautiful but she looks identical to our tree topper from when I was a kid. I don't know which of my folks have her now but wow did my new one bring back some amazing memories. Thank you so much for your wonderfully generous boxes. With a husband who never can think of a gift for me this was such a good swap for me to feel that someone was thinking of me. He is a great husband but thoughtful gifts are not his skill. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

My third box came today and boy I love it. Gingerbread man garland is too cute. I love, love, love the tea. Strawberry looks yummy but I love chocolate mint tea. Candy has all been spoken for by kids already. Potpourri will be fun to use here really soon. The little owl is precious. Tape will be fun to use. Shopping bag is pretty and will be used soon. Poinsettia hand towel I love. Thank you too for the really cute Christmas Card, I can not wait to start hanging them all up. Thank you for being such a wonderful swap partner. I have enjoyed this so much.
