I thought of the "duh" moment after I sent my box to Kim thinking to myselef I should have put some Christmas stuff in there! So now when Christmas rolls around I will set stuff aside for next year!

Annika, I didn't know you weren't swapping too! I think you should give us all your address and then we can all send you gifts for organizing this....What do you say, Farmgirls, am I right?

You are so right. Half the fun is getting the box in the mail.

I hope you do join in next year Annika!
I got my box today from Josie and it's wonderful! She sent lots of goodies for making altered art....and she made me my own skinny book! It's my first and it's just perfect. She also sent coffee that is roasted locally, a fun apron made by a friend, a beautiful candle and 2 Halloween ATC's that she made. Everything is just perfect! Here's a pic in case I forgot to mention anything....
Thanks so much Josie! I hope you like what I sent you just as much!

annika.... I was looking for a knitting group over in "gathered up" and several people have responded. One person suggested we do a "swap". Could you email me and give me some guidance? I figure since I posted asking for a group, maybe I should try the swap thing to get the knitting juices flowing. Thanks for all your help! (I'm loving this one...and I'm getting ready to ship my box to my new swap partner!)

Hi!, this is only my second swap, so don't consider me a swap goddess, but.... I think that first, you need to set down 1. what you are swapping, 2. how long people have to respond to the swap (like until the 5th of August) and then,3. how long people have to send in their swap item(s) (like the 20th of August) I like to give people time and enough of it to get things done, since I am a busy girl and so are many others.
I hope that this little bit of ramble helps.
I hope that you have a wonderful time with your swap =)

Thanks Annika! Well, since I have never handled a swap...Swap Goddess can be yours! If you knit come on over to gathered up! I think we just turned into a knit along instead of a swap! A couple of folks wanted my round dishcloth pattern so I posted. I think we may be on our way!

Julie...well we are two peas in a pod! Mind didn't make it out either! Hubby got a new motorcycle and we've been preoccupied! New classroom???? Waaaaay cool. (I hope) I know moving can be a pain, especially for someone like you. I know moving my office and 20+ years of sped stuff was a nightmare...can't imagine what it'll be like with all your art gak! Good luck and don't worry about a timeline....all the more of a big surprise!

I'm so glad you liked the box I sent!! I posted my picture by uploading the picture onto Photobucket, then cutting and pasting the link from there into my post on MJF. Hope that helps! (I'm not real computer savvy so I'm not sure if I used the right terms?)

I received my package from Karen earlier and I've never seen so many goodies packed in a box. She even included a crocheted towel that matches the border in my kitchen perfectly, it's beautiful! Books, homemade blueberry jam that was yummy (I finally got it back from my husband!), candles, crocheted little dress, a cd, Mary Engelbreit iron on transfer, autumn decorations and an autumn puzzle. All stuff that I love! I loved everything I got from her and I'll try to get a photo taken of everything and post here later. Thanks Karen for such a thoughtful and beautiful package. I put your package in the mail this morning and I hope you like everything. I'm sorry it's out so late, hopefully it will get there early this week or it will be Christmas in August. Thanks again Karen!!

Well, where do I start?.....Joy (downbranchroad) sent me a treasure package full of wonderfullness!!! Everything was so nicely wrapped in tissue paper with ribbon and a cinnomon stick waht a nice touch and when I opened the box, it smelled heavenly!!
Inside of all of this beautifully wrapped bundles where awesome gifts. I opened it at the kitchen table and hubby was there. He stopped reading the paper to see what was going on. He said "wow, that's freaky...it's like she knows you" Every gift was something that I LOVE!! things that I would have bought myself....an old pill tin, old advertising cards with bobypins on them, like the kind the old drug stores would have sold. there was also more neat tins and a beautiful needlepoint table topper that will look so good in my bedroom under my lamp. there was much more....I will try to figure out how to post a photo of all of my goodies.
Thanks soooooooo very much Joy...you made my day-heck- you made my week!! thanks again...

Melaine, I am so glad you liked your little box of treasures. They told me when I called to place your order that it would take about 3 to 4 weeks for your MaryJanes Magazine Subscription to start. You will enjoy it most of all. I love her magazines and know you will too!

I woke up this morning and the first thing that came to my head was...."I forgot to mention that Joy got me a MJF magazine subscription" Anyway THANKS SOOOOOO MUCH!!! I have been asking Santa for that for a few years. My Canadian Santa fell through...but my American Santa made my day well, I guess actually, my year!! LOL!! thanks Joy:)

My box to Elphie went out yesterday via priority mail. Rough month--daughter sustained head injury and we spent a week at the hospital. Mostly, she is okay. The whole experience took away from my time to create things, but I believe the box will still put a smile on Elphie's face!
Take care, Shelba |

I got my package in the mail today!!! What a wonderful surprise. I had been gone most of the day with a group of homemakers and I came home so tired. It was nice to sit down and relax with a box of treasures.
I got a MaryJanesFarm special issue! An old lysol bottle (I love it!),a little wreath, some christmas oranments,.hot chocolate, a journal, cookbook, a jar with wooden hearts around it, a notepad and oh gosh, I am sure I am forgetting something.
After I rest up I will try to post a pic on my blog.
Thank so much Melaine!!! going to take my magazine lounge around for a couple of hours until it cools enough to walk the dogs.
Thanks again.
