jillyd	Posted - Jan 05 2018 : 10:05:02 AM I'm so glad that you liked it all Kim! Sorry I haven't responded sooner, I think I overdid it a bit over the holidays and haven't been well the last few days. I'm hoping to be able to get started on the applique soon. I have a few things I need to finish first. Jill Farmgirl #6748
KimmyC	Posted - Dec 30 2017 : 9:36:58 PM Jill, Thank you so much for my special stocking with my name embroidered on it. I really enjoyed opening all of the items in it. How did you know that I needed a coaster? I love the design and I'll put my potholder back in the kitchen. haha! The Chihuahua calendar is perfect for me! I can't wait to use my new kitchen towel - I love it so much! The flower seeds from the Butchart Gardens are going to be so pretty in my garden. :) The shades of green fabric bundle will be perfect for grass in an applique quilt that I've been wanting to make. You have me all figured out! Just look at all of that fun stuff! Candy, snowman cupcake liners - that are destined to have blueberry muffins in them! Hot cocoa and a tea set with cute grabbers, and local spa items that I will enjoy using. Thank you so much for everything and the thought that you put into my stocking. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Farmgirl Sister #7479 If you can't bring the girl to the farm, bring the farm to the girl!
KimmyC	Posted - Dec 30 2017 : 8:42:00 PM Responding to Jillyd - I am so happy that you enjoyed your stocking! I made the Christmas tree ornament - glass fusing is a hobby of mine. I also made the bag with the sheep print fabric. I was so excited to finally find a cute sheep printed fabric! And the last homemade item (aside from the stocking) was the wool applique kit. When I couldn't find the right pattern, I decided to just make my own. I've never done that before, but I was hoping that with your experience, you could figure out what to do next with it. I look forward to seeing you bring it to life! :) Farmgirl Sister #7479 If you can't bring the girl to the farm, bring the farm to the girl!
churunga	Posted - Dec 30 2017 : 07:03:07 AM I am in Florida right now visiting my father-in-law. I have been so busy that I haven't been able to finish Marcy's stocking. I wanted to bring it on the plane to work on it and I didn't because I couldn't find my cutting disk and didn't want to bring my folding scissors. I also want to do just a little more shopping. I love doing this swap. I now have 5 stockings to display every year. Marie, Sister #5142 Farmgirl of the Month May 2014 Try everything once and the fun things twice.
jillyd	Posted - Dec 27 2017 : 9:32:09 PM Kim, your stocking arrived today! It was quite the mail day for my family, 2 packages in the mail box and 2 notices to pick up at the post office. I only saw one notice the first time and drove in and picked up another delightful swap. Then I got home and as I got out of the car, another notice dropped out from between the letters. I debated going back today or waiting for tomorrow. Thankfully I went back today, and was given your lovely stocking. It was so wonderful, everything I could have chosen for myself. I love the fabric of the stocking. There was a wonderful applique kit for sheep on a hill. Do you make these regularly Kim? It looks wonderful and I am really looking forward to getting started. There was a lovely sheep bag (did you make this too?) with little sheep buttons and beads and chapsticks and a tape measure with a sheep on it. There was also an absolutly beautiful glass tree wrapped with copper wire. There was also soap and tea, and some copper garden tags. I'm feeling totally spoiled and love that you found so many things with sheep on them. Even the tag! Thank you so much for being my partner. Jill Farmgirl #6748
ruthie218	Posted - Dec 27 2017 : 8:50:01 PM Christy I'm so happy your stocking arrived safely and your enjoying it. I am getting excited to start the new Year out with a stocking of goodies. Farmgirl sister#4072
Christy925	Posted - Dec 26 2017 : 08:02:31 AM Hanging in my kitchen :) The fun contents of my stocking Loved everything! Ruthie Ann is my delightful swap partner. I’m afraid I was delinquent in my duties for getting my stocking mailed on time :( I have no good excuse, but did communicate my difficulty with her. She was spot on with the swap. What I received was very much appreciated. Would be happy to swap again in the future.

jillyd	Posted - Dec 18 2017 : 8:08:15 PM Oooh, I'll be checking the mailbox. It's not entirely a bad thing when Christmas stretches out, it rather makes it more fun ;) Thanks very much for being my partner. Jill Farmgirl #6748
KimmyC	Posted - Dec 15 2017 : 8:36:30 PM Hi Jill, I mailed out your package today. I sure hope it arrives in time for Christmas! It is supposed to, but you never know with international shipping. Keeping my fingers crossed. Just seeing my stocking waiting for me makes me smile every day. Thank you! :) Farmgirl Sister #7479 If you can't bring the girl to the farm, bring the farm to the girl!
jillyd	Posted - Dec 13 2017 : 1:11:51 PM Open it whenever you like Kim. I hope you enjoy it. I hope it makes your Christmas just a little more special! Jill Farmgirl #6748
lovinRchickens	Posted - Dec 13 2017 : 08:20:09 AM Vanessa I was just delightful. Already wanting much more. Hope you receive some real soon also. Farmgirl #5111 Farmgirl of the month October 2014 Blessings ~Kelly~
churunga	Posted - Dec 13 2017 : 05:23:00 AM I regret that I cannot post a picture of my stocking and goodies. The battery on my camera is spent and I can't find my charger. I will try to describe the contents of the box I received. The stocking is brown burlap with a red plaid cuff painted with a Santa. I received several ornaments: 2 of paper beautifully crafted, 1 handmade pink felt chicken, 2 ceramic elves, 1 clay angel that looks handmade and 1 absolutely beautiful blue-green embroidered velvet stuffed bird. (This is my favorite item.) Other handmade felt items were a small belt basket decorated with a snowman face and a small felt pillow with an applique snowman. I also received a holiday dish towel, one Celestial Seasons tea sampler box and three bars of chocolate. I received craft items: 2 skeins of Sugar & Cream cotton yarn in light blue and ecru, a Christmas wreath stamp and the Winter 2018 issue of romantic Country magazine. I received dinosaurs!! - one brachiosaurus figure and two sets of really nice stickers. My school kids will love these. Lastly, I received a pair of blue Christmas socks with antlered penguins, a nicely knit scarf and a wall hanging which said "Joy, Love, Peace, Believe, Christmas". I am so grateful for Marcy's generousity. Thank you so much. Marie, Sister #5142 Farmgirl of the Month May 2014 Try everything once and the fun things twice.
KimmyC	Posted - Dec 12 2017 : 7:30:48 PM Jill, I am so thrilled! I received your package today and I love my stocking! How fun that you personalized it for me. :) I hope you don't mind, but I'd love to save it to open for Christmas. Thank you! :) Farmgirl Sister #7479 If you can't bring the girl to the farm, bring the farm to the girl!
Audra Rose	Posted - Dec 09 2017 : 08:58:41 AM Kelly, I got your letter. It looks like you got snow before I did! Farmgirl Sister #6754 Doxie Mom - Everyone loves a Weiner! Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
jillyd	Posted - Dec 04 2017 : 7:41:03 PM No worries, it's fun checking the mail box. I hope you enjoy your stocking. I had fun doing it! Jill Farmgirl #6748
KimmyC	Posted - Dec 04 2017 : 7:34:39 PM Hi Jill, I'm juggling a few too many things all at once. I am literally working on one of your stocking stuffers right now, though! :) I'll post when I get it in the mail. I'm hoping later this week. Oooh, how fun! :) Farmgirl Sister #7479 If you can't bring the girl to the farm, bring the farm to the girl!
jillyd	Posted - Dec 04 2017 : 5:43:57 PM Kim, I got yours in the mail today. The lady at the post office said it would be about a week! Here's hoping. Jill Farmgirl #6748
churunga	Posted - Dec 04 2017 : 1:11:22 PM I got the package Marcy and have just been too tired to take a picture. Soon though. Marie, Sister #5142 Farmgirl of the Month May 2014 Try everything once and the fun things twice.

Audra Rose	Posted - Dec 04 2017 : 10:30:56 AM Kelly, I got your package today, and I love everything, especially the Dachshund Security sign. The Godiva bar will go into the chocolate drawer in my vanity and I will hang the gingerbread man and the dachshund ornaments on my tree. I'll be using the potholders soon for my cookie baking. This was a great swap! I will try to download a picture. Farmgirl Sister #6754 Doxie Mom - Everyone loves a Weiner! Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
Audra Rose	Posted - Nov 30 2017 : 7:18:12 PM I truly enjoyed making the gifts and am glad you like them. Farmgirl Sister #6754 Doxie Mom - Everyone loves a Weiner! Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
lovinRchickens	Posted - Nov 29 2017 : 4:54:42 PM Vanessa I can not tell you how much I loved my package tonight. This has been a rough day with my dad. So this brought a relief from stress. I love my stocking, it is so soft and beautiful. The card and letter are so sweet. The stitched towels are nicely done. I have already fallen in love with my little pixie elf fellow. I collect them, so he's a really special addition. Yummy on the candy.....socks are cute and will wear tomorrow. It's cool here in the morning but I would rather have freezing temps. Maybe some to come soon. The embellishments are pretty and will be used quickly I am sure. Thank you for the recipes, I am going to try them all! You did a terrific job on the dish drain quilt, I just love to use them. They make washing dishes so fun. The over the oven towel looks too pretty to use. Lastly the poinsettia hankie is just lovely. I love it all. Thank you for such a special stocking filled with such wonderful items. I hope you like yours. Should reach you tomorrow or Friday.

lovinRchickens	Posted - Nov 28 2017 : 11:25:51 AM Thanks Vanessa, You might want to delete it now just for safety. I will mail your package tomorrow, Merry Christmas. Farmgirl #5111 Farmgirl of the month October 2014 Blessings ~Kelly~

lovinRchickens	Posted - Nov 28 2017 : 06:42:33 AM Shucks no email from you Vannessa. I even check spam mail. Would you please resend it? Farmgirl #5111 Farmgirl of the month October 2014 Blessings ~Kelly~
