You are welcome Kelly! As always, I had stocking overflow I think I warned you about that :). I just keep finding things I think will delight the receiver. Enjoy your weekend, it sounds wondeful.

Hey Farmgirls don't forget that it is now very easy to post pictures on each Forum.Once you go to "Reply to Topic" or "quick reply" then just look on the left next to where it says Message: and you will find a picture box. So click on that and it will give you the option to download from your photo's on your computer. So please take a picture of what you received so we can all have fun seeing what everyone got.
Blessings,
Peggy

Jill...glad you got it and Thanks for posting the picture! That will give others the idea of how to do it!
Hope you enjoy everything...it was fun doing! My problem was keeping the price at what I had set it at...because
I found so many cute things and trying to keep things flat for mailing. I promised my hubby that I would try to
really watch the mailing cost with all my many swaps that I do. USPS advertises that if you can get it in their
Flat Rate Folders & Boxes then it ships anywhere in the US for that flat-rate. BUT every time we go to the Post Office they
want to Charge us more because my Mailers are always so full. Or they say it only applies to the Pacific Northwestern States.
But so far...I have won out each time and made them stick to their advertised rate. I now carry a copy of their Flat Rate Advertising with me in my purse. That Helps settle disputes! LOL But it was getting to be such a hassle at the Post Office.
One time...and one time only they charged my husband $10.00 to mail one of their $4.95 flat rate boxes. Anyway...the Post Office can take all the fun out of doing swaps if you let them.
Blessings,

| I have had problems with the post office also, letters not going out with the price they stated because the envelop was addressed the opposite side of the fold ? couldn't figure that one, my husband had to put another 20 cents on or I could readdress the envelop and pay the amount for the stamps that the letter was returned with. That I found out was a problem with one of my atc cards. I guess it will only get worse with the holidays. But, yes Peggy I love everything you sent, and I will I am sure use them all, thank you again for all the items.Jill Lillian |

Thank you Jill Skane...I received your Wonderful Creations today and again was totally blown away!!!
You are one amazingly talented woman! I absolutely loved everything!!! I took pictures and will post if I can download them to my husbands computer...as mine seems to have a deeply embedded worm or virus. If
not...I may ask you to post, if you took pictures. Thank You...seems very frivolous and trite. I don't have the right words in the English Language... to say Thank You for The Masterpieces you Created for me. I will treasure them always! Except the Chocolate...I plan to seriously indulge on those! LOL
Blessings and Hugs,

Jill...that is OK, my son is coming back over tonight and working on my Computer...so hopefully
I will be able to post your wonderful stuffed stocking and an entire slew of other pictures that
I want to post for Mail-Art, The Christmas Tags, and Swaps I have done. I've taken all the pictures

| Julie/Treelady+++++++++I rec'd a package from you today; I'm quite sure it's the stuffed Christmas stocking. I want you to know it arrived in good shape, but I don't want to open the box just yet. I have this silly thing about giving time to each event . . . tomorrow is my birthday, then my daughter's birthday on the 21st, then Thanksgiving and THEN I can begin with Christmas. I just cannot fully appreciate your wonderful gifts if I break tradition. Hope you understand. I will emai you as soon as I open the box. Thank you sooo much for being my swap partner. My collection for you is almost complete - I'll be getting it in the mail within a week. Happy Holidays! |

Diana, What a fabulous Christmas Stocking - oh my goodness!
You filled it with all of my favorite things - I love it all!!
Did you make the dish towel??? It is the cutest ever!
The Gingerbread men mug, pen and little notebook - too cute!
The little loaf pan w/Gingerbread men, Dove chocolate - Yum!
cookie cutters, cocoa. Peppermint Soap - it smells divine, can't wait to use it. Vintage pot holders - love them, and I do collect them! The stocking is really pretty and goes so well with my home, and you know what, I didn't have a stocking and now I do, thank you very much! Oh, Scotty Dog note cards - they are so sweet!
Yummy homemade strawberry jam, and a cute Gingerbread ornament.
Thank you so much - I feel like it is already Christmas -
Going to try to post a photo of all the goodies for everyone to see!
Hugs and thanks,
Ruth
