Oh Debbie, I am SO sorry I upset you. That was certainly NOT my intention. Forgive me, please. It was just a thought, and I think part of my disappointment was not hearing from one of my partners. I have a flag flying here almost year round, and of course, I am VERY proud to be an American as well. We generally do not use red, white and blue after July 4th here, so I don't decorate all month and I really don't know anyone who does, so while I will be thrilled with whatever I get and appreciate the effort SO MUCH, it will get packed away till next year soon. Debbie, again, please forgive me. Joey

I guess it is because of our military background and always living near the military and my love of red, white and blue, we display our red, white and blue all year long. Plus it is my birthday month:-)
My wish was that if anyone was not happy with the way the swap went or wanted me to end it sooner you would have shared that with me before the swap was over not afterwards. But, we live and learn.
I have had so much fun with the swap and looking forward to my package when I return.
All is good and I am happy the way the swap went and all of you have just been wonderful.
Joey and all my Farmgirl Sisters I hope everyone has a safe and fun 4th of July.
God Bless our Troops and God Bless America!
Farmgirl Hugs,
Debbie

Hi Beth~
I wonder if perhaps some of the girls are not out of town for the holiday weekend or on FGOTL Trip across the west.
I know everyone was excited to get their packages and can not because you have not heard from your partners. Imagine how happy they will be when there packages get there next week.
Hopefully everyone will hear from their partners by Tuesday and all packages will be able to go in the mail.
God Bless our Troops and America
Farmgirl Hugs,
Debbie

Hi Pilar,
Thank You for the sweet box! It arrived Saturday so I was able to display the wall hanging by my front door. I love the soap and carrier, how clever. Hope you holiday was wonderful!

Hi Winnie,
So glad you got your package and that you liked it. Yes, I made the earrings. I keep a little sewing kit in my suitcase, just because.
I got your package this morning and am so pleased. My husband drank coffee right away and LOVED it. I don't drink coffee but it sure smelled good and he did enjoy it. Loved the candle too. Do you sell Longenberger? What I appreciate most is my wonderful patriotic dish rag. SO very, very cute. Thanks so much. I truely appreciate the thought and effort. Thnaks for the swap. I'd love to meet with you as soon as I'm not totally swamped. Soon. Hugs.
I still have not heard from Danielle, and so have given up on that. SO glad I asked for 2 partners, and LOVE what Winnie sent me, so it's all good.
Debbie, thanks for putting this together. Joey

How wonderful that packages are arriving and everyone is happy with their 4th of July treasures.
If anyone besides Joann and Beth have not heard from their partners please let me know and I will see what I can do.
I will be going out of town tomorrow to visit a sick Aunt and a girlfriend who has cancer so I will not be on the computer as much. But, since my computer is going with me I will see be in contact with all of you.
Thank you again Farmgirl Sisters for the wonderful swap, you all made my 4th of July and my birthday very special.
Farmgirl Hugs,
Debbie

Hi Debbie,
I think this was a wonderful idea, and like you, decorate with red, white and blue all summer until it is time to switch to a fall theme. Anyway, heard from Lorae the first day, but she did not give me her address. I did send her mine, and have emailed her but have not heard back. Her box is ready to go...anyone know her? Is she okay? Out of town?

Nicole, I have emailed CJ and Lorrae so lets see what happens.
Joann I have emailed Danielle as well.
Also, wanted to share some information that a farmgirl told me when she does swaps. She does not like giving her address on the internet so she sends her swap partner her treasure and then when her partner gets it she has the address. Maybe others feel that way as well, I just do not know.
I am sorry girls as I know this is not what you wanted to happen.
Hopefully I will hear from the girls I emailed and I will let you know if I hear from them.
Farmgirl Hugs,
Debbie

Susan, thank you so much for the t-shirt. It will work for me and I look forward to wearing it? I will get your package in the mail tomorrow. I have a new granddaughter and have been out of town helping my daughter while she recovers.

Hi guys I just read all of the posts so now I am up to date on all the happenings here. I have been out of the loop as we had a horrible storm here on Friday and we have been without power. They did get some of us back up and running but there are many with no electric still! We made national news as well as CNN! I have a big tree that is down, lots of broken things and dead plants but by far I am one of the lucky ones!! Thank you God! It was a nightmare to go through! Anyway Catherine your box is here still, I am making a couple more things to put in there, thank you for being patient!! It sounds like some great boxes are going around! Thanks so much for hosting this great swap! I have been to Cripple Creek, did they have their fireworks? Coorado is a gorgous state!
Go be a blessing to someone!

Hi Catherine L., Received your package today. First, let me congratulate you on your new grandbaby! You didn't say if it is a girl or boy, but I'm sure it's a beautiful baby!
Thank you so much for the plaque, napkins,candleholder and hanging Uncle Sam hat. So cute! I will use them at our next picnic table. I would send a photo but I still haven't figured out how to down load photos. Yikes. Thank you again and best wishes to you and your daughter and new grandbaby.
OK, I'm ready-Let's go. |
