Hey there Farmgirls,
I think I can safely say that we farmgirls like buttons, all kinds of buttons. So how about let's have a BUTTON SWAP!!1
HERE'S THE SCOOP
- The buttons can be vintage, novelty, or "classic/traditional" and by that I mean the ones you would typically sew on garments, etc. Not necessarily decorative, but could be plain, different colors/sizes. Or the dozen could be a mix of all kinds/styles
- You will swap ONE DOZEN buttons with your partner. Ask your partner what kind of buttons they like, if they'd like a mix or are okay with a "surprise".
SIGNUPS ARE OPEN NOW, just post here if you'd like to join in the fun
SIGNUPS WILL CLOSE on MAY 7th.
MAILOUT DEADLINE is: MAY 13th.
[/u]
*NOTE: "Tucks" are optional. . . not required and should not be expected.
Let's have some button fun!

I got a sweet assortmentent of buttons from Ruthie, I just love them. There are some darling little daisy buttons, ladybugs buttons and so many pretty colors. I'm knitting a sweater for a new baby in the family expected in June. If it's a girl, I'll use the daisies! Also, Ruthie, thank you again for the wooden spools of thread. They are a treasure!
Hugs and Happy Day!

I'm glad the package finally arrived Jill! What an adventure it had....Seattle to Saanichton by way of Los Angeles and Vancouver BC. Well travelled buttons and tea I say. Glad you like them. This was a fun swap!

Thanks Marilyn for my lovely selection of buttons, and you really hit the mark with the tea selection. I love herbal teas. I especially like the cream button with the flowers, I'll have to think of a special project for that one. Thanks for being my partner, this was a lot of fun.

Jill thanks so much for the adorable buttons and paper crafting goodies! I really love them all but the sheep buttons are so darn sweet!
Your package is making it's way to you. It apparently caught the slow plane to Canada...the last tracking update I got was on Friday which said it was finally leaving Los Angeles....over a week after it began its journey. I hope it gets there soon!
Thank you for being my swap partner! Thanks also to CJ for hosting this fun button swap!

Sherry,
Thank you for the lovely buttons. I love them. The dove candy was eaten by my 5 gks and husband. LOL! Who doesn't need more needles, thank you.
I especially love the pocket cross you sent. Couldn't have been more perfect. I don't know how to post a picture but I thank you for being my swap partner.
Your envelope was nice too!
Be Blessed and Be a Blessing,
