Farmsisters you've outdone yourselves!!! What a wonderful surprise when I opened my mailbox today and found my matchboxes!! We really have a lot of talented sisters that participated in this swap. Thank you all for the time you spent creating each little matchbox. I could see the effort that was put in each one. We are truly blessed to be able to swap across the country and share our creations with each other. Thank you again Michelle and Ashley for hosting this swap!!!

Hi :) First & foremost Thank You Michelle & Ashley for hosting this swap :) My Hubby got the mail today & my treasures were there :) I like Buzzn Bee, did not know what to expect as this is my first matchbox swap & I am overwhelmed with JOY. All the boxes are sooo cute & I keep Christmas trees up all year & decorate them accordingly, well my boxes will be going up for Christmas in July & I promise not to peek at the contents till Christmas in December ;) Thank You all who participated in this swap :) Please Ladies join in for the Fall Matchbox swap if you can.
Blessings |

I got mine too. Thanks Michelle and Ashley for all the hard work you two did. Love all the boxes. My daughter and I opened the box together but we did not pick inside the matchboxes, we put them up till Christmas, can't wait to see whats inside. Thanks to all the ladies that made these little boxes.

Just wanted to say that my best friend (who really is a farmgirl at heart) called me yesterday squeeling that she got her boxes and opened them with me on the phone. She is not "crafty" and would NEVER do this herself but LOVED the boxes (thanks Michelle for her card)and truely appreciated all the work that went into them. Thanks so much that I could include her too. Joey

Give me a bit and today I will post pictures. I was waiting 'til the girls got theirs, as I did not wish to spoil the surprise.
Have a good day!
