Sorry to post kind of late for this Swap. My computer died.
For this time how about one heart for each partner.
It can be made out of whatever your little heart desires. Sewn, knitted, crocheted, painted, or a heart all gussied up etc. The choice is yours. Let your creativity soar. Tuck-ins are up to each person, but not necessary.
Sign ups until JANUARY 25
Partners--My husband picked the names out of the bowl for this Swap. 
Please email each other for addresses. If you have any problems or questions, please email me. Hope y'all have lots of fun

Brenda,
Thank you so very much for your RAK package of hearts! What a wonderful treat it
was to open the package. Adorable fabric sewn heart with pretty buttons and the 2
decorative hearts (I'm guessing that is the "Perfect Paper Adhesive" technique) I love
them all and you surely are a wonderful example of "Farm Girl" spirit and kindness.
What I make with my
hands, I give with my heart .... |

I guess I never posted on here, only in emails to her, that Anouk sent me the most beautiful heart garland in my favorite color made of paper and ribbon. She did a wonderful job on it! I am having issues uploading photos, but I wish I could share it here!

Brenda, I love those hearts. Have never used the Perfect Paper Adhesive medium before
and anxious to try it. Thanks for posting the website as I went to it and then to a tutorial
website with the creator, Susan R. can't wait to try it and there are so many different
techniques to use it with. Please do post the instructions. Thank you!

Glad you liked your hearts, Jill. It was fun making them for you. Thanks for being my partner.
I use either wooden or papiermâché hearts, a flat 1/2 inch paint brush, some Perfect Paper Adhesive made by USArtQuest, Inc. www.usartquest.com and a little water. If anyone wants the directions, I will post them.
Farm Girl Hugs,
Brenda

Brenda, I received your hearts!! They are absolutely beautiful. You're very artistic. I love them, I've never done anything like the decoupage. I think I'll have to give it a try. I love the little crocheted heart, and the paper hearts will get used for sure.Thank you so much for being my partner.

Hope you get it soon. If you don't, please let me know and I will send you more. Hope the Postal person was right in the way it was sent to you. I had never send a package out of the country the way I was told for yours.
Thanks for the website for the seeded hearts. Will check it out.

Brenda, I'm glad you like the seeded hearts. I checked out several websites but the one that I mostly followed was http://www.davidsuzuki.org/publications/downloads/2011/plantable-seed-paper.pdf
I just used a heart shaped cookie cutter to mold them. I've kept a couple for myself to see how well they turn out (germination-wise).
Still checking the mailbox for yours. It just seems to take a lot longer between countries!
Thanks,
Jill :)

Jill so sorry I didn't post a picture sooner. Love the hearts with the seeds in them. Can't wait to plant them along the edge of my garden. Each year we plant flowers all along the edges of our vegetable garden. Were they difficult to make. I would love to know how to make some for myself. The heart stickers will certainly get used in a project. Love chocolate! Thank You for being my partner.
