Debtea,
you are so welcome, I am sure that I will like yours. This was so much fun. I am thinking about doing it with a group that I go to lunch with once a month. They will be so surprised.

I just got my egg carton full of fun things from Robin. Thank you, Robin! When I opened the box, there was the egg carton, wrapped in a cute Easter kitchen towel and tied with a pretty ribbon. Inside I found a pair of pink socks, a pink geranium candle, a tiny angel pin (with a note that "Farmgirl friends are little angels that bring joy to others"), a little rabbit that hangs over the edge of a flowerpot (he's already in my garden window, hanging on and looking cute!), little packages and tubes of lotions, spray bottles of perfume,a tiny tube of lipstick, a straw ornament (Scandinavian, I think), two Cadbury eggs (one had caramel in it, my all time favorite!) and some chocolate covered pomegranate seeds. The chocolate eggs have already been devoured (slurp!) Thank you, Robin! What a fun swap! You should be getting your package soon. I put tracing on it--if you got to usps.com, put in 0308 0660 0000 1751 5721 and you can watch it's progress to you!

Jennifer, received your wonderful egg carton today~ Everything was so very special, and loved all the decorating you did! The stamp, buttons and ribbon will be great for my cards, already have a few ideas rolling around, thank you for giving me some new material to work with! Love all of the soaps too, really like essential oils so the natural soap will be such a treat. And the seeds are special also, I will think of you each time a butterfly stops for a visit!
Thank you again for all of your kindness~

Michelle,
Glad that you liked the items, just a note that the soaps were from Mary Jane's store in Coeur d' Alene. I live about 25 miles away and was in there a few days after starting this exchange and thought it was a neat tuck in.
Hope the seeds grow for you and that you have lots of butterflys. I love the ones that visit my garden and yard in the summer. Those and the hummingbirds are very special.
Hugs,
Jennifer

Barbara (Craftystranger),
Thank you for the wonderful egg carton full of goodies! Thank you so much for the quilting book and fabric, you are so thoughtful. I will most definitely be using it very soon on my quilting adventures. You sent such great spring time goodies, thank you!
I mailed your egg carton this morning, you should be getting it in the next few days!
Thanks again Barbara!
* Do you have any pictures of your quilts from the craft show?

My Egg carton arrived yesterday and really brightened my day! It was full of wonderful springtime goodies which were absolutely perfect! I got an adorable vintage easter postcard, some cute ribbon printed with tomatoes, carrot seeds, a tiny adorable baby chicks figurine, a cute bunny figurine, chicken poop (it is a lip balm made with great ingredients) such a perfect addition for this swap - made me laugh out loud!, an egg shaped soap, Mary Janes candies (perfect for a Mary Janes Farmgirl swap), a spool of vintage thread, an egg filled with the E,G,G letters from scrabble, a cute fruit bowl figurine which goes perfectly with another figurine I already own!, a cute cupcake eraser and mini cupcake liners with flowers printed on them and a beautiful ceramic butterfly container and the butterfly lid of the container doubles as a pin!
I think this is perhaps the funnest swap I've ever done and it was just as fun putting together the egg carton to give away as it was to receive the one from my swap partner! Thanks again to Karen for coming up with this great, fun idea!!! And Thanks a Bunch to my swap buddy, Linda (Miss Giddyup)!!!!

Carol, I got my package today! I just love everything, you are so generous. I guess I goofed, I tried to find small enough things to fit. I will use everything in there, especially the scrubby! The bonus rabbit is so cute. Thanks again Carol.

Thank you so much Diane for the fun package filled with happy little spring time goodies. I picked it up at the post office yesterday and opened at the office. My daughter helped me and said she wished had done this too. I told her I would share. I received the cutest bumble bee, a little bird, sparkly glitter, happy ribbon, embroidery thread, mini pastel clothes pins, sunflower seeds for planting, a flower stamp, bright flower buttons, big tacks for the cork board, and a little charm just perfect for the zipper pull on my purse.
Now for my apology, I stayed at the office way too late too many nights last week and did not get my package done. It will be at the post office Monday morning and on the way to you.
Thanks again, this was so much fun.

Dear Yvonne, I got my egg carton today with all my "egg gifties" in it. Oh my word LOL! my husband and I had a blast going through it, and NO he cant have the little swiss army tool! I love it all. Burts bees is one of my favs. The mini finger pin cushion, holy tamolie it is soooooooo cute, I might just wear that shopping tommorow for the heck of it. And can I tell you how much I absolutly adore the bird cage necklace with the perched bird that swings back and forth. The tiny garden set is a riot and will sit on my kitchen window sill so I can see it each morning. I almost fell of the sofa when I saw the litttle flash light, not two hours ago I said I needed one to keep in my purse to see small print on things. And finaly, the lady bug buttons, birdie stamp ane brightly colored eggs filled with jelly beans were the perfect addition to complette the happy assortment. I will post a picture of all my treasures later, but was so thrilled I wanted to thank you right away. Robin
Oh happy day!
