Diana! Thank you so much for the wonderful book! Just returning home from a week at the fair, and so excited to receive your package. I have the first book, "Nops Trials" it has always been a favorite, and never knew there was a follow-up out there. Does remind me so much of Hank. Also have a new addition found on the way home from fair, dumped on the roadside, 20 miles from town, and starving. Looks to be an Australian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees cross. Quite a sweetheart too~
Thank you so much for thinking of me, looking so forward to the new book!

Hi Michelle,
I have never seen those books before...and I saw it at a upscale resale shop in downtown Columbus, Ohio (of all places) when I was watching my son play ball. I read the book and for some reason thought of you. Then when I got your farmgirl picture after I mailed the book, I was totally amazed how it all fell into place. I am having a hard time finding that book here, maybe someday you can let me borrow it. I would return it and I have been going through books pretty fast these days :)
State Fair is next week here, always alot of work, fun and calories!!
Hugs
Diana

Hey Diana~
Have been gathering things for a package to send your way, and would be thrilled to send you the book! Have two copies, so no need to send it back, pass it along. Also have a couple other favorites I'll send if you are reading a lot.
What will you be doing at the state fair? My son's woodworking and photography journal will be going on to the state fair, but we won't be attending this year. It's about an 8 hour drive for us, and we are still trying to hay.
Hope you enjoy your fair, and thanks again, Diana~

Just so all of you don't think, what happened to Lilly or Linda. I want you to know this has been the best swap I have ever made. We have become real friends thru the post office we exchange mail and emails every other week. I am so glad we were given to one another. I will try better to let you all know what is going on with us. Lilly

Received the BEST fall package from Diana! Oh my goodness, Diana, everything is just wonderful, and I just love fall~
The Maple fudge brought back so many special memories of growing up on my grandparents farm in upstate NY. Isn't it funny how just the wonderful smell of something can take you back...Thank you for that treat!
Loved, loved, loved all the little primitive treasures. Just love crows too, and the candle tin is precious.
Thank you, Diana, for all the special things you send my way~
You are the best~

I dropped a card in the mail to you with something more following soon.
Hope you are all well!

Hi Staci, I received a wonderful "Fall" package from you today! I sent you an e-mail as well as posting here to Thank You!
I loved everything you put in that re-cycled shoe box (too funny)!
Thanks to you my house is starting to look like "Fall"! The candle is sitting in a pretty little Fall basket , the leaf salt/pepper shakers are on the table, the leaf bowl has "Fall M&M's in it - looks so pretty, now to keep my fingers out of the bowl LOL!!
The magnet with the camper is on the fridge, the pretty leaf pin is on my dressing table ready to be worn. The lovely gourd is sitting high on a shelf to be seen by all. Love the card you made with the photo of your mums taken last year - so pretty. The card that CJ made is very pretty and unusual - she is so talented and sweet.
Hope I didn't forget anything, I loved it all - it was wrapped so pretty in all the Fall colors and with leaf stickers to boot!
You sure did brighten my day and week!  Thanks again
love,
Ruth

Hi Ruth! I got your email (I'll reply soon!) and your WONDERFUL package of goodies...(Your fudge is so yummy - I'd love the recipe if you'll share.) I was so blessed by it all, the delightful fall themed items sort of kicked me out of my funk and inspired me to do some fall decorating. Ryan walked through the dining room as I was oohing and ahhing over the treasures and commented on the awesome maple leaf potholder that you made - such talent. Everything was a delight to the senses. Most special to me was your note. I could feel your love and care in it and felt wrapped in a hug...thank you. I'll be in touch soon....
Love and
Blessings, staci FG# 973
