Last year there was a swap for National Dairy Month which was a lot of fun. I thought as I'm more into sheep, that it would be fun to do a Sheep related swap. February is National Lamb Month. For this swap send 3 sheep related items. It could be wool related, something with sheep on it, a recipe if you eat lamb. Handmade or not. Tucks optional and not to be expected. Sign-up date January 31st, Mail out February 3rd.
As there is an odd number of us, I've got everyone sending to someone and receiving from someone else. I hope everyone is happy with this.

I'm glad you liked them Denise! I had seriously considered changing room with my son to keep the sheeps too! *chuckle*
This was really a fun swap! Everyone came out with original ideas. There were so many beautiful pieces of arts and wonderful sharing/exchange. I love it! Really a fantastic idea Jill! |

I received the sweetest package today from Marilou! Thank you so much. I love the little lambs and the necklace is adorable!
I'm a big fan of Harney & Sons tea but don't find it very often.
Marilou I think after all the painting you told me about I would be leaving it there always.  thanks again.

Glad you enjoyed the sheep, Sabrina. Glad the kids are into Lamb Chop. A fun memory of my childhood too.
I did not glue the shoe in the cross stitch down Incase you wanted to make a little pillow or something else from it. Or you could take it out, iron it well, use a spray adhesive on light cardboard backing and make it permanent.
Enjoy

Mary,I found your sweet email, the first one, it was in my junk mailbox for some reason. But, I am so happy you liked all your lamb treasures. I love that you painted the little lamb black so you can have him stand out better on the pin cushion. I need a picture now please:-) Do happy you were my partner, I had fun putting the package together for you.
Hugs,

Winnie, thank you so much for your lovely package. The wrist warmers are so soft and comfortable. They will go beautifully with my winter coat. The booklet is a treasure. The recipe looks really good and I can't wait to try it. Thank you also for the coaster and the tea. You probably can't see, but even the wrapping paper has sheep on it, and little sayings like "blessings, kindred spirits, primitive, live well, love much, laugh often". I love it, where did you find it Winnie?
Thanks for being my partner.
Jill
