Nini~ it was so much fun reading the list of things CJ sent and your narrative, so cute, thank you so much for sharing.
Now that said, why can't we do this swap every month or so, I do not know about you ladies but I have lots more "treasures" I would love to pass on to other farm girls. What do you think Nini and ladies? Just a thought.
Have a beautiful weekend everyone.
Farm girl Hugs,
Debbie

Erica, I'm so glad my package arrived safely and that you and your daughter liked what I sent. How old is your daughter? I had fun putting it together. Whenever you get mine mailed is fine. Are you moved now? I'll answer your e-mail soon. I'm just beat. Big hugs, Joey

Now, the story is that I sent my box to Nini right after partners were posted . . dust bunnies and all! She wanted to "sit" on it until I received mine so we could open "together". Well, the box she sent me arrived today . . . in the hands of the grouchiest mail carrier on the fact of the plant, I might add!!! HEAVY!!!
Well, I knew I was supposed to let Nini know I got it so we could open them "together". I didn't wait . . I did email her, but I didn't wait. So, there is a package of Easter chocolate bars . . nope, I have been tempted yet. Then there was a "tower of notes" with a LOVELY, LOVELY pen, all tied up with green/white striped ribbon. I LOVE IT when I get a package with ribbon . . . cuz I use the ribbon on my journals and such. Oh yeah, I LOVE the notes and pen as well. Then a box that was the dickens to get into that held the ABSOLUTELY MOST ADORABLE, spring time Yankee Candle tart warmer. Design has a little picket fence, lawn chair, flower pots, flowers . . . complete with some scented tarts and tea lights. And, then there was this HUGE "Maxx" purse. All shiny and new . . . hmmmmmm!! I've seen these kinds of purses and I wonder how anyone can carry them for very long. I told Nini, I don't really carry a very big purse, but this is such as nice accessory item I will HAVE to find something wonderful to use it for.
Soooooooooooooooooooo, I was tickled all shades of pink with her "WOWIE!!! ZOWIE!!!" package!!! You certainly made my day, Nini!!!!
P.S. Like I said, our mail carrier is the GROUCHIEST!!!!! Monday, I was outside sweeping our deck when he came, but apparently he didn't see that I was outside. And I heard him shouting all kinds of cuss words out there as he was sitting at our box. I was using a push broom with a metal handle and accidently clinked it against some other metal object and he must have heard that. Then he says, in a lower tone of voice "well, now just calm down a little bit". Then he drove off!
The next day I wrapped up four homemade chocolate cookies with ribbon and a note that said "Have a great day" and put them in the box for him. I decided to put it that way instead of a "better day". He wrote a note back that said "Thank you". I just don't get what makes him soooooooooooo miserable and difficult to deal with. He's been our mail carrier for over 20 years, is only in his early 50s but he has ALWAYS been this way. Poor guy!!
Anyway . . . 'nuff of that story!!
THANKS NINI! You are one true, blue, sweetheart of a FARMGIRL!!!

That's so funny! You know, CJ - maybe we should all send "happy day" cards to your postman in your care - maybe those'd make him smile! LOL!!!
I'm so glad you like everything... You know... I've still got lots more where that came from! Oh my GOSH - I'm already looking forward to the next round - Debbie, you've got me really excited!
Whodathunk I, of all people, would get excited about a little spring cleaning?! LOL! Thanks SO much girls, for joining me in this swap - SUCH fun!!!
Hugs -
Nini

Staci and I sent out our packages to each other! Staci's came to me last week, but I've been working so many hours recently I have not had time to post a thank you!
The two tote bags are great! Matching too! I can always use more of those! Love the magnetic note pad with pen too, I also use those a lot! And the note cards I happened to use right away! Thanks for the book! I haven't read that one by Karen Kingsbury yet, and I will be passing it on to my daughters to read when I'm done!
I will definitely use the Creating Keepsakes magazine, I already see some projects I would like to try...the funny thing about the Spirit of Christmas book is that I have one of the series, and have just loved it, so was excited to get another!
Wow, they do say "one mans trash is another mans treasure" and I sure hit the jackpot!!! :) Thank you Staci!

Deb, I got your box this weekend--Thank you for all the great items! I intended to take a nice picture of it, but before I could, my kiddos had already raided it--journal for my daughter, socks for my other daughter, my mom was visiting and grabbed the book (she'll give it back when she's done with it), my son clained the paint brushes, and I think I managed to keep the other things :) A great apron pattern (oh yeah, my daughter already has plans for that too!) and a nice bookmark (managed to get that out of the book before my mom took it!), a magnetic notepad for the fridge (I needed that!!) and a snowflake kit, and a great packet of sunflower seeds!!
Thank you for a great fun swap!!

Hi Cheryl~
I just wanted to let you know that my swap treasures arrived today and I love everything. First the butterfly is so cute, blue is my favorite color so it will hang from my window in my stitching room, I love pearls and wear them with jeans even, my husband loves them on me and these are so pretty, the note cards well I actually have that print framed and hanging in my stitching room as I collect ship and I especially like this picture so they are perfect and I keep a journal and have for 30 years so I am always looking for another. So thanks so much I appreciate it all, I know we did not have to post pictures but I wanted all the farm girls to see my treasures.
Have a beautiful Mother's Day.
Farm girl Hugs,
Debbie

I got my box from Erica yesterday and oh WOW!! It was certainly worth waiting for. Thank you so much. The purse will go to my DD who just got a promotion and now needs to act/dress like a grown-up. I love the beautiful, pratical receipe box and the Gooseberry farm book. I have several of their books but they are in storage, so I really love this one. The blue earrings are so pretty and scrapbook stickers-yep, I'll use those. I especially like the little table cover from N.D.-hope to get there some day. LOVED the print scarf. My daughter will want that too but it's mine. You sent so much more that I can't even remember. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, your generousity is so appreciated. What a fabulous swap. THank you. Big hugs, Joey
