I have received some wonderful buttons from MarcyL,CandyC, One Crafty Bugger, MeadowCrone, and Missgive. Thank you so much. I have enjoyed going to the mailbox everyday and finding an envelope with some buttons. My 15 yr old daughter has been just as excited. She has asking for some of the buttons to make into rings. This is the first swap to be involved in, and i am loving it. thank you ladies for being so wonderful. Georgina

I sent my buttons out yesterday (Tuesday, February 16) at our local post office. In fact, the postmaster was working the counter and he was going to hand stamp each envelope so hopefully they will all come through okay. The postage for mine cost $0.88 each envelope. I have received buttons from LisaL, CandyC, Robin, Bernadine, and MarcyL. LisaL and MarcyL buttons came in "we care envelopes and the enclosed document was inadvertantly damaged in handling". Both of Lisa's buttons made it through but only one of Marcy's buttons arrived. Love them all and am enjoying the variety. On Saturday, I went to the Arizona Button Society's annual show and found the buttons that I sent to you all.

Thank you to Marcy L!
I received your envelope today, torn a bit, but the buttons were there!
I think that we who are new to this are learning about mailing buttons successfully! Some of my envelopes have arrived torn, and I did get one back that must be remailed, so please don't feel bad! 
Thank you again!

Hi ladies,
I love the buttons I got from Lisa, Marcy ad Robin and the great little spoon from Bernadine - I will have to try this with my little Farmettes as we work on the buttons badge with them. They make a great addition to my collection.
Blessings,
Kim

Yesterday I received buttons from Betty Jo (BJ Huff) and Kim (Missgive). The Arizona Button Society annual show was interesting; it is the first time that I've gone to one so I don't know that much on how it works. There were about 15 vendors selling a variety of buttons. On Saturday evening, dinner was scheduled with a guest speaker, Jocelyn Howells, who has written a couple of books on buttons and she also writes for the Bead and Button magazine. The society had literature on button collecting. In fact, I mentioned to one of the vendors that I was buying buttons for a button swap on MaryJanesFarm website and she recognized the name and said that she had read the magazine and would have to check the website out. There is a National Button Society, which has a website.

Thank you so much to Betty Jo (BJHuff) and to Marilyn(Edlund33) for the beautiful buttons that I received today! It was a pleasant cheer-me-up on a day when I am battling some kind of bug.
Thank you again
Warmly,
Lisa L

I received buttons today from Betty Jo , Marilyn , Candace .The buttons I have been getting have been so much fun. A really good spring pick me up.I have been away from the list for a while . It has been fun getting started back with a Button Swap
I also sent the rest of my buttons out today.
I would also like to know if you could put the last names with the 2 Robin's so I know when people have received mine.
Thanks so much

A big thanks to both Barbara from NY and Betty Jo from SD, your buttons were waiting for me when I got home. I love seeing how we each have our own "button" packaging style.
Carole, thanks for the info on the National button society web page, I am going to check it out! Who knew!??
Oh happy day! |

I received two more sets of buttons last night, from Linda C. and Betty Jo. They seem to be coming in pairs. This has definitely been an enjoyable swap!

Hey ladies! I just wanted to let all of you know that my buttons will be going out today or tomorrow. This is my first swap, and I've been a little disorganized. I love the buttons I have received thus far!
Thanks Bunches,

My DH just brought me the mail, crying,"You've got buttons!"
...And I do! Thank you to Barbara, Debbie, and Marcy! The buttons are wonderful and everything arrived in perfect shape!
Sending and receiving has been such fun! Again, I'm so inspired by the precious ladies that took part in this swap, but also with the incredible women of MJF. This adds such a special dimension to my life.
Thank you again.
Warmly,
Lisa L
