I'm working on it right now! :) So fun to see excitement about this. I had computer problems this afternoon, but it seems to be working okay now.

I think a Valentine's Whimsey jar would be fun. How about Birthday whimsey jars? We could be paired with a farmgirl sister and do up a specialized jar just for her on her birthday.

I don't suffer from stress. I'm a carrier.

Linda Jo,
I received my whimsy jar yesterday at the perfect moment. I was decorating for Christmas and feeling tired and a little overwhelmed. Boy did that black walnut fudge come at the right time for the whole family. It was so yummy. Your gift tags are adorable. I love the jar. I think my favorite thing of all was the little chicken pin cushion but I love everything else too. The tiny christmas teacup, all the tea, the knitted washcloth, goodies and especially the embroidered ornament were all perfect. Did you make the ornament? I can't imagine the time it must have taken and I will treasure it forever. Thanks so much for being a great swap partner. Hope your jar comes to you soon. My son-in-law took it to the post office for me since he was on his way. He sent it ground so it may take up to nine days to get there. Sorry, but it is on it's way as of Dec. 8th. Happy Holidays and thanks again!

Hi Kristin,
I'm so glad you liked the items. Yes, I made the embroderied ornament and I painted the teacup ornament. Porcelain painting, you know. Do you know what that size jar was used for, it's so tall? Have a Merry Christmas and the best for 2010!

Julie,
Got the jar today, thank you for the pins, beads, pincushion, trim, threader, ornament, magnet, stamps, lotion, tea, chocolate and the quilt square! You amaze me, and thank you so much for being my swap partner.

Oh Julie! The chicken! Thank you for the chicken! I am not allowed to have live chickens "in town" but thanks to you and Gramadinah, I have two in my 'sister' flock!

Oh and doubly thank you because I needed a priority box that size to mail my MIL's gift!

Hooray!!! It's amazing how LITTLE fits in those tiny jars =)

I was hoping to hide more treasures inside, but I made due with the limited space.

Can't wait for the next one!!!

My box arrived yesterday, thank you Kristin! So many nice things and I will be using them. A crocheted dollie-beautiful. I read alot and received a very nice book mark. Fabric, white on white which I will use for the signature block swap, embroidery needles those will certainly be used, chocolate-what's not to like, tiny little Christmas bows, a dish towel-just the right color. Thank you,Kristin for being my partner. Have a Merry christmas and the best to you for 2010.
