Hey Girls!!!
I thought it would be a lot of fun to start the New Year off with a Sweet Fun Stationery Swap! Nothing major required...just a few fun things...Some ideas are...an assortment of stationery paper...envelopes...pens...markers...stickers for letters and cards...also an assortment of cards that could be used throughout the year...a pocket calendar...maybe a pretty decorated mug to enjoy coffee or tea and a little sweet treat to go with it...
Not all things are required...just ideas of some things to choose from...
Rules are as follows...
Swap ends Friday, January 30th
Partners posted by Sunday, February 1st
Mail out box by Friday, February 6th
I hope many of you join me for this swap!!!
Since we had an uneven number of farm girls sign up for the swap...I will be taking 2 partners...

Wendy,
I made a huge mistake today. I have a swap going with you and with Winnie. I mistakenly mixed up the addresses and mailed you both the wrong packages.
You will be receiving a package with the valentine dishcloth instead of stationary. Please accept the package as a gift and I will gather together another stationary box for you and mail as soon as I can.
I am sincerely sorry and embarrassed. I know you are new to our farmgirl chatroom so please don't let my mistake color your experience with us. I will make it right. I promise.

It's so fun to see all the pictures and thank you notes! I've never heard of a Midori, it sounds really neat...and useful!

Hi Erin ~ A Midori can be used anyway you like. You can add or take books out, customize it for yourself. It's a piece of leather with elastic bands. You Tube has some great videos on it. I started using mine to do sketching in & jot down inspiration. Now, I use it also as my planner & I have a travelers wallet in it for money. Very Indiana Jones like. I just got a Field Notes size to try as my wallet/planner, as the size is nice to fit into purses. The Travelers Notebooks have quite the following ;-)

Maddie, I'd never heard of Midori before so I looked it up, but I'm still a little confused. It's a kind of journal, but is it an art journal, list-making, combination? That's sort of what I was getting. How would you describe it? Either way I'm so glad that you liked it!

Maybe we should give it the weekend, and if we haven't heard from them should we just swap with each other? What do you think Judy and Madeline?
