Maddie,

If you come up missing anything...I think the culprit most likely would be someone who loves Ireland:):):)your things are adorable...

Hugs!

Beth,

I received my matchbox package today!! I was having one of the worst days I have had in a very long time and DH called and said there was farmgirl mail waiting for me! I was so excited to get home. Imagine my surprise when I encountered a giant box, rather than a box about the size of a matchbox! Wow, thank you so much for all of the wonderful goodies, you truly spoiled me! I absolutely love everything! You will see when you receive yours that we had a very similar idea for one of the little items inside the box!


(The gorgeous table runner that is buried in goodies is also from Beth)

Thanks again Beth! :)

I was thrilled to receive a wonderful matchbox from Connie! It is beautifully decorated in the vintage Halloween style that I love, and I will treasure it always! Along with the matchbox was a lovely and generous assortment of goodies! Thank you so much, Connie! You are a talented artist and I love all the gifts, too! I am still working on your matchbox, but hope to have it finished in a couple of days. Hugs, Maggie

Hi Sarah, Received my adorable matchbox and goodies today!! The matchbox was an adorable witchy with black butterfly wings and a real broom to fly off on!! How cute. Loved the paper! Also received Frankiestein ceramic pail...so cute with goodies inside of it!! The box had all sorts of one of a kinds and a ghost to grow in water!! How cute is that...I will take that with me to my grandbabies and we'll have a lot of fun growing a ghost!! My little 2 year old granddaughter will probably say, "I'm scawred, BeBe" That how she says scared...and they call me BeBe.. Thanks again, Sarah!! Smiles, Beth
