Welcome to the Sweet Season's Exchange! This will be 4 times a year, one for each new season. You would send a special gift box to your Farmgirl sister 4 times a year, just as the Season begins to change. Each of us will have something fun to open as we celebrate the beginning of each new Season.
Spring begins March 20th-send gift box out by March 11th.
Summer begins June 21st-send gift box out by June 11th.
Fall begins September 22nd-send gift box out by September 11th.
Winter begins December 21st-send gift box out by December 11th.
In between you can send Birthday Cards, Anniversary Cards and or Gifts or a Thinking of You Card from time to time.
Please try to make your gift box special, by filling it with sweet and wonderful things that a farm girl would like, keeping the Season in mind. Such as note cards, chocolate, homemade items, candles, ornaments, figurines, pens, anything that you think your partner would like. If you have any idea of things that might be fun to include in our gift boxes please post them.
The USPS Priority Flat Rate Boxes might be a good idea to use for sending your special gifts in each Season. This would probably save on shipping for everyone.
If you sign up and are unable to continue this for the year, PLEASE let me know right away. It is very unfair for your partner to send you a package and not receive theirs.
For those that are already doing this swap and would like to continue, PLEASE let me know, send me an email with your address, & email address.
Let's have some fun and make new friends!!!!!!!

Shannon, Yes! I did get your message but I have been in Ohio managing affairs after the death of a loved one so I have not been online. We would be happy to have you host this swap for 2016! Let me know if you have any questions to get you started. :) Thank you for stepping up!

Rachell - Have you found someone to host this swap for 2016? I emailed you, but never heard back, so am not sure if you received it or not. I would be happy to organize this swap for 2016, if that works for everyone. Just let me know :)

Maryellen,
My goodness you spoiled me! Thank you so much I absolutely love everything. Your card is too cute, your family is so big! :) The little cars with trees - what a cute idea and the melted snowman ornament is adorable! What did you use for the nose? The clips are so cute, what a fun idea, I am a big fan of clothespin crafts, so these were so up my alley! The lotion/body wash smells wonderful and I just loved the box and the basket. Everything was perfect! Thank you so much! I have really enjoyed being your partner this past year.

Hi Shannon,
I got my box last night! Oh. My. Goodness. I think you out did yourself! I love...love...love everything. The ornaments are on the tree! The baking supplies are put away and no one and I mean no one is going to use them but me! Pink baking utensils, are you kidding me?? They are MINE! I love the gloves and the socks, the cook book is perfect and the Lemax pieces have been added to my village.
I had a wonderful year getting to know you and your family. It has been a blessing to me and I hope we continue to be friends.
Happy holidays
and much love,
Marcy

Hi Diana,
I have been busy as a bee with my Etsy shops. I did get your package. I am working on yours and will mail it out Friday. My daughter and I came down with the flu last Sunday so it has been awful to say the least.
Thank you for all your lovely gifts you sent me this year. I wish you all the best for 2016!

Marcy - Did you not get my e-mail????? I id indeed receive it and LOVED everything!!! The snowman fairy door and snowman with penguin are up with my snowman collection, as is the snowman on the sled and decorated bird house :) The candy was gone quite quickly (the children decided it was a free for all - hahaha). The scarf and the other items are greatly appreciated as well! I am finishing up your last item and should have it in the mail tomorrow (priority mail as usual). Thank you so much for such a wonderful year - it has been a true pleasure to be your partner!!!

Hello Friends!
I have enjoyed hosting the Sweet Seasons Swap for the past 2 years. I have made some good friends and enjoyed such lovely gifts. The Sweet Seasons Swap remains my favorite swap because I LOVE celebrating the seasons as they cycle round!!!
However, I may be starting a new job after the first of the year, I wanted to take a step back from hosting swaps until I get my bearings on 2016. Would anyone like to step up to host this swap? I assure you, it is fun and easy and I can help guide you.
Please message me or post here if you are interested.
Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year to each and everyone of you!

Joyce sent me out another lovely box of Winter goodies that I very much enjoyed! She sent it out early in fact, but I am only just now getting a chance to post a pic and say THANK YOU!
.jpg?v 56376431)
This time I don't know which little treat was my favorite, they were all so perfect. I use the mini tissues in my bag, I ALWAYS have a shopping list on the fridge (and now mine is festive), I LOVE LOVE LOVE tea, the mints were yummy, and love all the glittery "snow" covered items, especially the little house, of which I have a collection of on my tree!
I hope your move is going well and I look forward to sending out your Winter box to you as soon as you are ready for it!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
