Shirley,
We just closed the signups for the RAOK list for May. We will be opening it again in November for new farmgirl signups.
It is done only twice per year . . . you can be on the lookout for that to open up in November.
Thanks much!

Shirley,
I was going to email you the link for the RAOK signup thread . . .but it sounds like you've found it.

AND, I would just encourage you! You don't have to be officially on the RAOK list to gift someone, anyone . . just because you want to.
Many farmgirls do that when they see someone they believe to be deserving . . . so go for it!

I'm just sorry you missed the cutoff for May . . . but thank you for wanting to be a part of RAOK!!! It's a fun thing to do!
Thanks much!
CJ

Yes, CJ is right Shirley, RAOK is such a wonderful way to make farmgirls feel special and to know that someone cares and is thinking of you. This is my second time joining and I am having so much fun surprising my farmgirl sisters.
So, I hope to see you on our new list in November.
Hugs,
Debbie

I received a lovely surprise in the mail yesterday. A secret sister sent me a beautiful handmade card and a lovely pair of earings. Thank you so very much. I could not stop smiling after I opened the card. It was wonderful to know that someone was thinking of me.

thank you again

Thank you Nancy Jo for such a wonderful RAOK gift!!! I received the most adorable vintage apron (I collect vintage aprons, and this one is such a great addition to my collection). I also got a whole bunch of cool vintage ephemera for my crafting projects, and the sweetest card. I am trying to post pictures of my treasures, but I took them with my phone and have to figure it out. Hopefully, I can post the photos soon, because I know everyone would like to see them!

Thanks again Nancy Jo....you made my day!

Hugs, Tammy

What a wonderful group of girls this is! I received this terrific vintage apron a few days ago:



It's so spring-y and I absolutely love the colors. Don't tell my other aprons, but this one's my new favorite! There's only one problem. You see that note in the picture? I came home from work that evening and my kids had surprised me by cleaning the kitchen (hanging my new apron up on the apron peg), but they couldn't remember what they did with the card. So I want to thank the right person for this thoughtful gift - it was you, wasn't it Nancy Jo?

If it is, thank you so much - I was thrilled to get such a pretty apron, since that's one of the few things I collect! And if it wasn't you, please correct me so I can thank the correct person. This gift really meant a lot to me! :)

Nancy, Thank you so much for including me in your mailing. I received a lovely package today and boy did I need it. I was beautifully wrapped in pattern tissue and tied with a blue ribbon. My package was full of buttons and ribbon. I can sure use all of it. Thank you again.

Hugs and Springtime Wishes

Thank you so very much my Sweet Friend Joan for my RAOK treasures that arrived in the mail today. I love everything, especially the sweet primitive wreath you made so cute and it goes perfectly in my Stitching Room. The yummy Lindt White Chocolate which is my absolute favorite and Jolly Ranchers umm love them too. The ME note cards, now you know a farmgirl can never have too many notecards, the electric candle burner with the wonderful smelling soy candle pieces to go in the burner, and last but not least the Shabby Lane Shops Magazine I love their shops and am always on line looking at the fabulous treasures never knowing they have a catalog so thank you so much Joan for everything and thinking of me.
Oh I forgot about the yummy packages of coffee Joan also sent me, Chocolate Raspberry and Carmel Pecan Roll. Don't they sound yummy, can not wait to try them.
Have a beautiful weekend.
Hugs,
Debbie
