Thank you Ginny! I feel like it's Christmas! You out did yourself on my package of goodies. I LOVE everything you sent. I can't wait to try the Lobster Eggs....(OK farm girls.....it's only chocolate covered cranberries), the mustard, jam, wild blueberry juice and the maple syrup. I could DRINK maple syrup! The post cards of your area were fun to look at and my DH can't wait to read the magazine and the newspapers you sent from your town. Wish I had thought to send you one from my town too. That was a great idea. Thank you again for all my treasures! Wish I knew how to put a picture of my goodies for all to see.
Take care.....Marcie

Teresa, sry I havent been on here to tell you. I did get your package. Thank you!! I love getting things from Long Island, NY. I love honey so I can't wait to try it. My mother in law tried to steal the wine. I also love the notecards, magnet and tidbits. I've almost got everything I want to send. I need to get one more thing. Oh, I also love my seascape that you made me. The kids thought that was cool!! Thank you!

To LinB52~~~~ I got my package yesterday!! And this morning I finally got to sit down and open it (long crazy day yesterday, so sad having to look at it in the car and not getting to open it)! It was like Christmas!!!
Here is what I recieved: A Michigan hat (I love hats since I live in windy WY), BBQ and regular chips, two yummy smelling candles (I truly would like to eat them, they smell so good!), a bag of wonderful homemade lotions, chapsticks, creams etc, homecanned dill pckles, maple syrup, hot pepper jelly, sweet pickles, pickled green tomatoes (wow, you were so busy!!), hot fudge sauce, honey, ginger soda, "red pop", chocolate bars, pizza seasonings, cherry concentrate (can't WAIT to try this!!), 3 hot wheels cars (my two year old was thrilled with these!)!!! Can you believe it??? Lin actually had so much stuff, I got TWO boxes in the mail.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU so much for everything! It was so much fun to look at this morning after dealing with sick kids for the last few days!!
I am glad you enjoyed the jelly, it's our favorite. I had fun finding stuff to put in there. And now I can think of alot of other things that I could/should have included. I was a little nervous including the wine, but it amazes me that in our short, cold growing season here, that someone can grow enough grapes to make wine!! Plus the label was fun, and had our state "logo" on it.
Such a fun swap and Thank you again Lin!!

Marcie - I'm glad it made it to you and you like it all. I finally have the time to put the picture up of all the goodies you sent me and I am still thrilled with it all! And those buns better like Texas shaped cookies! BTW, I love the story of the King Ranch and I just ordered fresh, organic, cornmeal for corn bread!
Here's what I got from Marcie in Texas!

Just wanted to post that I received my package from Carole(foreverbooks) last week, right on time.
I'm enjoying my cup of coffee, reading all the great info she sent me.

Oh Diane, I just got your box and it is filled to the brim with Wisconsin goodies! First I read your hand-writtten description of your state, and then the WI facts...and then I began pulling out all the wonderful gifts in the box and I could nearly feel the chill of the football air and hear the cows mooing! The gifts perfectly fit your description of your state: cows, cheese, beer, sausage and football. Inside was a cute cow coffee cup that I will use to drink the University of Wisconsin red hot chocolate. There were also sausage sticks, dipping pretzels with beer pub mustard, a Cow Pie, maple syrup, A retro WI tea towel, and a book on Brewing Made Easy. Thank you so much for your fun, thoughtful gifts! I'll fix a tray of goodies for Football Sunday this weekend and think of you and give a nod to the Packers as we enjoy a taste of WI.
Warmly,
Pam

Pam,
I am glad you are enjoying your little bit O'Wisconsin! I wanted to send you some cheese but the post office said I would have to wait a couple more weeks or you would have cheese whiz!
I am really enjoying the goodies you sent me from AZ. I think our states are on the opposite ends of the spectrum. I am going to make some of that fry bread for breakfast this Sunday and drizzle some of that wonderful honey on it! I have your little rock with the bighorn sheep in my studio for inspiration.
Thank you again!

Debbie, I received your package on Saturday and spent the weekend reading all the goodies. Love the socks! Plan to pass the library information on to our local librarian. We have a very small library with an excellent Southwest collection. The county library system is great. Again, thanks!

| I spoke way too soon! I came home from class today to find my package from Staci in PA sitting by the door! :) It included goodies like pretzels, chips, some snack cakes, and of course a Hersheys bar! It also had a really neat vase made from a gourd! The coolest part is that the gourd is from Meadowbrooke Gourds which was founded by Staci's sister-in-law's brother. The business was featured on the show "Dirty Jobs." Very cool. Check them out at www.gourdshop.com. Lol! Sorry I sound like an ad, but with so many things made overseas I love seeing some good ol American made products....plus they have really cute stuff! :)Thank you, Staci! I enjoyed opening my box of goodies! |

I have not been able to open my box due to family illnesses around here, but did today and wow, it was awesome! Mine was from Luanne in Pennsylvania and not only did she print up almost a book's worth of information about PA, but also included a picture of her and her husband, which was so cool (it is great to know WHO sent it!)< and a bunch of stuff made in PA, like crayons, candy, chocolate, a slinky, and included postcards and a mug and a lot of other neat stuff. Thank you so much for the box! After a rough week it was awesome to open and had we known there was a giant chocolate bar we would have opened it way earlier!!!!! I love the star, the maple syrup, the Amish book, the events booklet, everything. It was all so great. THanks again.

Well, Rachael - if you decide to visit PA, be sure to let me know. Maybe I could meet you in my part of the state and play "tour guide" for you!

Emily - I'm so sorry that I haven't been in touch.
Your package arrived last week and I felt so bad that I hadn't gotten yours out when I meant to, that I waited to open my box til I knew for sure that you got yours.
So I'm getting off here for a bit to check out the goodies you sent from Wisconsin. Thank you for bearing with me.
Blessings, staci FG# 973

OH MY WORD!! 
Emily - the box is incredible. I've enjoyed the outer wrapping since last week with the cute barn, cow, trees and milk bottle. Then I unwrapped it and found the inner wrapping, I (almost) hated to open it any further. I did take several pictures and will try to get them attached.
You did an incredible job. Then all the goodies inside. wow. You really went above and beyond. I did not know how many yummies were made in WI.
But I have to say - my favorite thing is the book you made. All the information, tidbits, facts and photos you included and the time you invested. It is very special - Thank you so much.
Blessings, staci FG# 973
