| I came home from the farm... Hot & tired... dragging my butt to the mail box. there it was, this special little package. I raced into the house, kicking my boots off... looking for a knife to open this package.... Sitting down and looking at each & everyone of these wonderful matchbox's with little tokens inside!!!!!!!! this is my first swap ever, & you ladies rock!!!!!!! My heart was tickled with everyones vision. I am sorry to say, I didn't put my name on mine... They were the one with the bingo number.... I love my box's & will find a way to display them. Thank you so much for the opening to get in on this!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! Bless you all. |

Sherry, I received my fall matchboxes today! They are all so beautiful! Have to say I opened them right away! Now, I must re-pack them and take them to DIL since she helped and I promised she could open them also! Ladies, all I can say is WoW! Thank you all for swapping, and thanks Sherry and family!
