I just got my 3 magnets today from Sarah. I think that Ruth made tham. They are so cute and look like they will hold up a lot of papers. Thank you so much Ruth! I love them.
So everyone should be getting theirs soon too.
Thanks Sarha!

Kris, The ones I made were real "simple" - I didn't have any imagination the day I made them - but, glad you like them. Maybe they will do what they are supposed to do and hold things up (LOL)!
hugs, Ruth

Hi Girls, Im sorry I havent been on the forum, we are having some family issues right now. Magnets have all been sent out, I would have thought you would all have had them before now. I guess it is taking longer than I thought. They were all mailed out a few at a time. At any rate, I marked who each swap was with so you should know who each was from. I had so much fun seeing all the buttons, and how creative we all are. Ruth, the ones I made were very simple too, I just liked the beauty of the old buttons. I bought some of the "super strong magnets" Oh dear, they kept on creeping across the table and sticking together, with super glue in the mix that is not a good thing, I walked around with two of my fingers stuck together for a couple hours til I could get to the store to buy some nail polish remover! :)

I just received my magnets today - they're very cute! I'm not sure who they are from, but since they are "super strong magnets" they might be some of Sarah's. :)
Thanks!

Sarah, that's so funny about the magnets going across the table. Not so much your fingers being stuck together though. Ouch! Thanks so much for doing this swap. I hope your family problems get all straightened out soon. Family sure can be alot of trouble sometimes. But ya gotta love 'em. I think.
Hugs, Kris

Sarah, I'm so sorry you are having family problems - you will be in my prayers!
I received my cute button flower magnets today - I can't find the piece of paper that was in with them -  ,
the magnets look like pretty little flowers, w/buttons glued onto paper cut like flowers. little buttons around the edges, big one for the center and then a little one on top of that!
Really cute and they look great on my fridge!
Thanks to the creator of my pretty flower magnets! You have a great creative mind 
Hugs, Ruth

I received my magnets today. Thank you so much Melanie P. You were so creative. I just stuck a magnet on a button. I hope we do this again as I will get way more creative next time. Mine from Melanie were all done up with fabric yo yo's and buttons and ribbons. They are already on my fridge holding up papers and appts. thanks again Melanie.
Sarah, thanks for hosting the swap.

Ruth, I think you have the ones I made. I did them like Michelle's but cut out flower shapes for the backs. Isn't that neat we got each other's magnets?

We just got back from vacation, and going through the PILE of mail (bills and junk) what a great surprise to find the treasured envelope! I took the same route as Nettie, we just put buttons on magnets! I will be more creative next time (now look at all the ideas!)
Thank you CJ! I love the little bows on the buttons, what a nice touch! So cute!
Thanks so much for a great swap (our first), and something so simple that can make you so happy!
---Lisa
Sarah, thanks for the swap, and hope things settle down for you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.---L |

Thank you, thank you! I received my magnets today. I am not quite sure who they are from, I think it says "The Demus"? They are so cute! Fabric yo-yos that co-ordinate with the buttons. You are so talented! Thank you also Sarah for hosting this swap. You are very kind to keep this going for us when you are having issues of your own. You will be in my thoughts.

Kris, They were from you - how sweet and funny that is! I did find the little note that Sarah put in with them - I was using it to mark a recipe in a book!! They do look like the ones Michele made, but had the card stock behind them. Next time I'll use my imagination - I just didn't think outside the "button jar"!
But, I did make them with love!
Hugs, Ruth

Hello Sharon,
Yes, now as I look closer they are from you. And there was a great organic tea inside? Thank you very much, you are very clever! Wasn't this a fun swap?

Hey Sharon, I am a little slow on the uptake here, but I just relized you got my button magnets and I got yours. Just writing to tell you, I showed them to my sister and daughter today and they just raved about them! Keep your hands off, dear ones, these are from my farm sister! LOL

Everyone should have received their magnets by now. Everyone who sent magnets to me was sent a package. If you have NOT received magnets send me an email. *****
Also, thank you so much for all of you who sent SASE envelopes, and for those who sent me little extras. That was very kind and very unexpected. I have gotten feedback that some people thought that this swap was complicated. I was trying to make it easy and prevent anyone from getting stiffed. (that happens sometimes even when we have the best intentions.) I have personally been stiffed in literally 2/3 swaps I have been in, and admittedly I have taken on more than I could do sometimes and not held up my end of swaps in a way that I would be proud of.
I am going to be leaving the forum so I am trying to tie up any loose ends before I do. It has been a pleasure getting to know everyone and I appreciate all your creativity and friendship. Life is taking me down a different path. Best Wishes to all, and please do let me know if there is anything else I have agreed to do that I havent done.
