I received my whimsy jar tonight and have not opened it yet, but it looks like it's going to be much fun to go through. I will post pictures tomorrow.

Whimsy jar sent to Jamie (and Anne) last friday, so it should be there soon. Just let me know it arrived safely and I will do the same. Hope everyone is having a happy day.

Anne, WOW!! I love everything...the doilies, hanky, flowers, old postcard, chocolate,spoon, wonderful jewelry, lots. I think the thing I liked the most is the little snowflake ornament. Did you make that? We don't get much snow here in Florida (thank God.) so that makes me think of you and MN the most. Loved the scrabble tiles. Thank you for your many farmgirl kindness and for getting it all in a jar. Joey

Portia and I were able to do lunch yesterday and exchange our jars.  We had a great time, how fun to have a FarmGirl so close. Thanks to you Portia for all the goodies you crammed into and onto my jar. I especially love the moose socks and tags. I wore the scarf all the rest of the day!

Joey,
I'm so glad we received each others jars on the same day, that is way fun! I sent you a quick e-mail last night, but wanted to let you know here, too. I loved everything, it was so much fun going through all of the little treasures that you stuffed into the jar. The vintage photos and postcards, buttons, shells, beads, collage items, the special owl and little birds, the brooch, the ruler, the chocolate, the homemade washcloth (I know I'm forgetting things, I'm at work!). Thank you!! I also enjoyed reading your note about where everything came from. I'll write a more detailed e-mail as soon as I can!
I did not make the snowflake, I can't recall where it came from, but I thought it was a good winter representation of MN!

Anne, you are so welcome. This was a little "extra" that we decided to do after the cut-off was closed and I'm so glad we did. What wonderful fun..and a new friend, I think.
Jamie, Have you gotten your jar yet? I mailed it the same day I mailed Annes but you live farther so it should come soon. I hope it arrives safely. Joey

I received the most wonderful whimsy jar from springdoeling, Sue. Thankyou so much! It was stuffed with alphabet stickers, scrapbook papers, markers, a stamp, coffee, teechino ( I LOVE teechino)soaps, a dishcloth,garden seeds and fertiliser, craft supplies and lots of love! I wish I could upload photos so you all could see the whimsy box! She actually packed a whimsy jar in a box of goodies...(Hersheys' mint kisses)... But the best is probably the new canning jar and ring, Yay! I will think of you, Sue, when I can something in it. Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated.
You whimsy box was sent off this week, a little late, but the PO reassured me you will have it before the weekend.

I'm so delighted that it arrived safe and sound and that you enjoyed all the goodies! I had so much fun packing it and, while I know it was just supposed to be a jar, there was no way to squeeze scrapbooking/card making (12 x 12) sheets in there! Or the coffee for that matter!  And I'm delighted that canning jar will be well used! Enjoy! Enjoy! And I'll post as soon as mine arrives!!
Many blessings!

Thanks to Tammy, also, for all the goodies she had in and around my jar: bookmarks (one she had cross-stitched),tons of buttons and lace, the cutest little bag she made that holds different bags of tea and can be rolled up and carried in your purse for those times eateries don't have a flavor you like, a mug ( I collect mugs!!!), a tiny book of selected psalms, candles, and many other things too numerous to mention. Oh, and of course, earrings--in brown glass--I love earrings and the color brown!It is wonderful to have my first friend in my new town to be a MJF sister. And, my jar was vintage----awesome! But, the most awesome thing is that we both love the Lord.
Merry Christmas to al,
Portia

Joanna (TansyShy) I received my fabulous package today! Wow! You went to town on finding things from Alaska. I love all the postcards, buttons, stickers, recipes, trinkets and so much more. And the jar is so cute! I've already thought of something to use it for on my craft table. Thank you!
Cheers! ~ Marilyn

Kathy (IdahoShamrock)has completely and utterly spoiled me!! I have a crazy day today, as well as an all-nighter tonight to finish up some costuming and some baking for tomorrow, but I promise to take pictures and post properly on Sunday afternoon!! I'm beside myself!! Kathy, thank you so VERY, VERY much! What lovely, lovely, special items! Can't wait to take pictures (although the pic might be minus a little chocolate) and show everyone. Thank you again so very much!!

Hi Jamie, are you OK? I haven't heard from you despite a few e-mails. I don't know if you got the whimsey jar from me and I haven't received one from you. This is unlike you so I'm a little worried. You haven't been on the forums this month either. I'm really just checking on you..you never write..you never call..isn't that a song or something? :-) Joey

What can we learn from this: DELIVERY CONFIRMATION!!!!
When did you send the jar? Please tell me it was before I posted huge messages to not send your jar if you not in contact with your partner. quote:

I'm going to try to remember absolutely everything that Kathy spoiled me with in my box!! There was just so much and it was all so awesome (Kathy, if I forget anything, please forgive me; it will all be loved and used!!). I don't think I mentioned my plaid addiction in my list of favorite items, but Kathy covered it with some GORGEOUS handmade cards; there was a fabulous book on counted cross-stitch, what looks to be an amazing novel (A story built around an infected fabric bolt, really?!?! You're REALLY, REALLY AMAZING Kathy! Can't wait to jump into those pages!!); seven wooden thread spools; two yummy sounding coffees, a HUGE bar of awesome moisturizing soap; a handmade bookmark for my novel (or cross-stitch book); two lovely candles that smell VERY Christmas-y; an old card of wool that is just lovely and will find a home in some embroidery before being tucked away with a few strands left on it with my others; a lovely note (that I'll also likely use as a bookmark since it's just so pretty -- Kathy, I also have that rose stamp!); three cards of beautiful buttons; and an EXQUISITE, lace-edged hankie to add to my collection!!! I am so very spoiled and incredibly humbled by your lovely gifts, Kathy. Thank you so very, very much!! And, of course, I can't forget all the lovely, delicious, decadent individual squares of Ghirardelli dark chocolates (raspberry and mint) that I savored!! Hopefully this will let me attach more than one picture but, if not, I'll just do the one overall shot and leave out the closer ups. Kathy, thank you again and again so very much!!!
