HealingTouch	Posted - Jun 11 2017 : 6:58:14 PM Marlee, I'm glad you got it and like it. I make those crosses and take them to the chemo centers. People have been hanging them on their rear view mirrors. I always get concerned about the packages getting to the destination. I've had a few that have gotten lost. This was a fun swap!

treelady	Posted - Jun 09 2017 : 7:27:05 PM Debi, Thank You so much for the cute decorated envelope and all the fun goodies inside. I just love those cute button coasters and that little button kit. The cup cozy is the cutest. A little rain can straighten a flower stem. A little love can change a life. Max Lucado

Dreamer42	Posted - Jun 09 2017 : 2:32:27 PM Everyone did such a great job on their pattern pockets! Thank you for joining, this was fun!! Dreamer42 Farmgirl Sister #7038
buzzn bee	Posted - Jun 09 2017 : 12:14:44 PM CONFESSION! CONFESSION! Honestly Marlee, I was going to stash my chocolate away. However as I carried it over to my secret hiding place, I begin to feel sorry for it. You know hiding in that empty pattern pocket all alone. It might become afraid. When I almost dropped it, I knew that was a sign for me to go ahead and give my taste buds something to write home about. LOL! Hummmm, I do wonder where those "signs " come from? LOL! Not for me to poke and pry. LOL! Chocolate "happy" to be out of package. Taste Buds "happy, happy"! Buzzn Bee "VERY HAPPY!" LOL! I don't know Marlee if the tea will make it until breakfast tomorrow morning. LOL!
buzzn bee	Posted - Jun 09 2017 : 11:52:58 AM Marlee thank you so much for my pattern pocket of treasures. I love everything! I will be hiding my chocolate for sure. Just as soon as I make sure that Farmbrother "Big Buzz" is not watching. I have found the perfect hideaway; inside an old pattern pocket that I no longer use. LOL! LOL! Now remember farmsisters.. MUM! is the word here. I love how you decorated the pattern pocket. I especially like the greenish yellow dress with the daisy on the front. The sweet little note pad and pen will be sitting on my desk in my crafting coop. Some of you farmsisters may remember the pictures I posted after redecorating my crafting coop in pinks and greens. Mixture of Country, Shabby Chic, and Shabby Debbie. LOL! Needless to say my desk now has a "purty" to sit on it. LOL! I love the little wooden tags! Did you paint them? I love that look on wood. My little tag and tea bag holder is adorable. Along with my Color Me book, they will be stashed in my purse. Cannot wait to try the Paris Black Tea. Ladies this tea sounds so good. It is a black tea with Currant, Carmel and Citrus. I will be having it with my breakfast in the morning. YUM! YUM! And Marlee, my granddaughter asked for the the teal and white ribbon for her hair. After much tugging back and forth, I relented the ribbon over to her. She wants to tie it around her ponytail when she rides her bike. Her bike is the exact same colors of the ribbon. Too funny! And thank you for your sweet little note. Hugs and Giggles! Deborah Horn Buzzn Bee
sweettea59	Posted - Jun 06 2017 : 5:57:56 PM Thank you April for my beautiful envelope and letting me be a part of this swap. Love all my goodies Farmgirl Hugs & May all your Wishes come true. Sherry Farmgirl #2215 www.etsy.com/shop/markiebuck
Dreamer42	Posted - Jun 06 2017 : 09:08:56 AM Hi Sherry! I received my pattern pocket last night and I love it! You did such a beautiful job, it is so charming and all the inserts just made my heart warm with nostalgia! From the handstamped ribbon to the handmade cards and honey shea soap. All so special - you did a beautiful job. Thank you!! I have already inserted it into my journal to serve as a special pocket. So happy you were able to join us for this swap! P.S. My mailman had shoved extra large envelopes into my box yesterday rather than ringing my door bell, so you do see a small tear near the top, I have since repaired that - and will be having a chat with him when I see him next! How dare he damage my farmgirl gifts! LOL! Each one is so cherished! :-) Dreamer42 Farmgirl Sister #7038
sweettea59	Posted - Jun 06 2017 : 08:46:44 AM Hi April yours went out on Saturday and I did receive mine on Friday. Thank you so much, I just love it all. Such a lift after the week we had last week.

Beth Jones	Posted - Jun 01 2017 : 11:10:15 AM Oh Grace, Thank you so much for my adorable and lovely pattern envelope!! Girls, sadly my camera is not working so I cannot post a photo but Grace took the envelope and opened it like a book, where she decorated pages and included tags and all sorts of paper pretties. She made the back and front of the pattern envelope sturdy with a heavier cardstock. Then it was tied off with cute ribbons and decorated with lace and appliques on the front. The pattern was for a lovely blouse with a ruffle down the front. So pretty!! Thank you Grace, for the lovely envelope book, the precious fourth of July apron, the material and ribbon, the sweet cross-stitch star kit. It was a "loverly" gift!! Smiles, Beth You can never be too kind! FOTM June, 2014..I have been so blessed!
