Ruth,
This week has been so hectic and busy, but hearing that you loved your box as much as I loved mine just made me so utterly HAPPY.
I loved picking everything out and making the card and setting up the entire package and to know that you are ecstatic over what you got makes all the time and effort so worth it <3
Reading this post makes me glad I signed up for this swap!
Take care :)

I love, love sunflowers, and those napkins and holders are so pretty, can't wait to put them on the table. I collect cookie cutters and don't have any like these - (doing the happy dance :) I have put the little scarecrow into an arrangement that was just calling out for one, only I didn't know that until you sent me one :) The Pumpkin plate and salt and pepper shakers - love them too! The recipe sounds so good and easy - love apple recipes! The little box of acorns - so cool! love the leaves, I just lay them around on tables in the Fall - so pretty and the special Hand made card ia just the cutest! Thanks again for all your thoughtfulness that went into this very special Fall box, just for me - love it all :)! hugs, Ruth

Ruth, how should I put this....I absolutely ADORED everything you sent me in this swap. From the beautiful mug rug (which I have used numerous times already!) to the variety of teas and pancake recipe, I am definitely feeling fall even down here in hot Florida.
Thank you so much for all your thought and kindness. I teared apart my package and was nothing short of total happiness when I saw my goodies.
Hugs,

Marcy, I'm really happy that you liked your fall box. I really couldn't wait to see your comment on the taffy..
Thanks Winnie! This was as close to Christmas as I'll get.
You are such a sweet bunch of farmgirls!

Diana, I received my package today! Thank you so much for all the goodies. She sent me the cutest embroidered towel with honeybees on it. A little scarecrow who is now sitting on my kitchen windowsill. A pretty little fall decorated pail with an awesome candle in it, some cinnamon spice soap, pretty fall recipe cards and a beautiful crocheted doily. Wish I could get a picture for you all to see because my description doesn't do these lovely things justice. But I will enjoy everything you sent Diana. Thank you!! I hope you received your package by now too.

Hi Megan, Your package arrived today and I had such fun opening it. The magnetic fall notepad is up on my refrigerator right now and the Jack-o-lanteren dish towels are on my cupboard. How cute that you made a dish scrubie....I've not seen one like that before. Best of all was your note and the recipe. The Pumpkin Dumpcake looks wonderful. My son is a freshman in college and his first trip home is next weekend. He loves anything made of pumpkin and I am going to make this cake in honor of his homecoming. Thanks for sharing your family's tradition with me....it may soon be a tradition in our home too. Thanks for brightening my day : )
Warmly, Pam

My pleasure Ann! Our maples are going red and gold and things are much cooler (and, the last few days, much wetter). Autumn has officially arrived ... my favorite time of year!! So delighted you enjoyed your goodies and thrilled to know that the apron was on target!! Enjoy the wonder of the season and thank you, again, for such a great swap!! Susan

Hi Susan (Springdoeing), Boy I wish I knew how to get pictures from my camera to the computer...your gifts are wonderful. The recipes look great, I'm going to try the carmelized onions right away 'cause we love onions and I have fresh onions and garlic from the garden. The apron is perfect, I raise heritage breeds of chickens and there are chickens all over my new red apron! Will save the relish and peach/orange for special occasions. You must love to can too. I will use the beautiful towels when company comes...so much prettier than my old kitchen standbys!! We have had a few cooler days and a few maple trees have started to show color so I guess fall is really on the way. Thanks for all the thoughtful gifts. Ann

Hi Denise, I received your package as I was heading out of town on Thursday and actually took it with me, I wish I had my camera with me because it is all TOOOOOO cute. I received a very nice Acorn Crochet dishcloth, embroidered with a harvest pumpkin desin dish towel, that I know she did her self a yankee candle that smells yummy vanilla carmel...yes I have to admit I wanted to eat it versus burn it. HA HA and a very pretty note pad. Recipes sounded awesome might even make them tonight. And I did notice that I forgot to include your recipes, so I will send them out this week. As always Denise, you are a wonderful Swap partner!!!
Hugs Diana

Hey Lori! You're package arrived yesterday! It was so wonderful! Loved the muffin cups. Thank you so much for the 3 hot pads. They're so lovely! The candy disappeared quickly. Thanks! I had the hot tea at bedtime (great minds think alike... you'll see!), I absolutely love candles, and I can't wait to try the recipes! I'm working on your recipes right now and will have them laminated probably Thursday after work. I'll give you a heads up when your box is in the mail ..... probably Friday. Thanks again so much! I love these swaps ... especially when it's with such a great farm girl friend! Blessings, Andrea
PS. Also, how did you know my favorite Yankee Candle scent was Harvest??? |
