I am so excited to find out who my tea swap partner is, I am almost ready to get my goodies in the mail. Sure will miss all of Teresa's morning and evening Irish Tidbits, they have been such a joy to read.
Farm girl Hugs,

Deborah and Jamie,
I'm very glad to add you at this time. Yes, we still have one more day before closing the swap.
You'll want to already start selecting your tea bag or tea bags and an Irish blessing of your choice. You will find that I've been sharing many blessings here. If you wish, you can also include an Irish recipe.
The paired postings will be available early Saturday morning. I've already been working on that list. So be sure to come on over and meet your swap partner.
You'll need to contact them directly via email for their address.

Jackie,
Actually I did add you some time ago but I just did not have your state location. That's all I needed.

Kelsey, Debra and Staci,
Glad to add you just hours before the closing of this swap.
Please start deciding on your tea bag or tea bags along with your Irish blessing to send off early next week.
Visit Saturday or Sunday to discover your swap partner in the posted listings.
You'll want to get your swap off in the mail the early part of next week. You'll want this good luck and cheer to arrive Before St. Patrick's day so no waiting until the last minute on this.

As this is a TEA SWAP along with an IRISH BLESSING, here are a few more blessings that you may select as your chosen blessing for your Farmgirl Sister swap partner.....
May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

Deborah and Debbie and my Farmgirl Sisters,
Thank you as well for being here and for taking the time to read the posts. If you've been having a fun time, then I am very glad! That's what a swap should be all about, even before anything arrives in the mail.
We'll see when I host another swap down the line.
In the meantime, have fun now and be sure to come visit Saturday to find who's gonna be your Farmgirl Sister swap partner!!
