Debbie, you are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! My lovely box arrived today (box had stamped leaves all over it) stuffed with the neatest things: a Halloween fabric piece, beautiful butterfly pin, chocolate, three precious altered clothespins, a real leaf that was gold-plated and had Alaska written on it, an Alaskan postcard with a sweet note from Debbie, two tiny crotched pieces, PEZ candy, and the cutest notecards. Of course, the matchbox was beautifully decorated with fall colors as well---and had a paper ghost glued inside!! The paper Debbie used to cover the matchbox was hand decorated, too. I just cannot brag on it enough. You really out-did yourself and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Yours is finished and I will mail it next week.
Hugs,
Portia

Hi Connie!!
I came home yesterday to a FUN package overflowing my mailbox! I love everything you sent - you found such fun Halloween goodies to tuck in. My son, who is almost 23 months, helped me open the package. He wasn't so happy when I took the bag of candy away (he's never had a piece of candy but he somehow knew it looked fun!). I love how you decorated the matchbox, and everything that you tucked inside. So sweet! My camera broke a month or so ago, so I tried to take some pics with my phone. If you have better ones, please post them. Thanks again, Connie. Such a fun treat!
~Anne

Shanda!!! Thank you!!! Your box was waiting for me when I went out to get the mail a little while ago! I was so excited! Then I heard a bunch of clanking around and thought, "Ooooh no! Something broke!" I was so relieved to see it was only all the little goodies you sent along with this beautiful box you created! I love it! LOVE it! And I really love the little sewing kit you put together for me... and the candy and the buttons and the spider rings (I'll be using those on cupcakes, for sure!). I can't believe you've never done this before! You did such an awesome job! And I will treasure it for many years to come. I am charging the battery on my camera right now, but will definitely post pictures later today!
Your box is almost finished, and will be mailed out on the 15th, if not sooner!
Girls - you all are just so talented and creative! I love everything I'm seeing! How fun!!! Awesome work!
Thanks again SO very much, Shanda! You ROCK, farmgirl!
Hugs -

Tammy I received your wonderful box today. I love all the vintage images and the flower earrings. The box even smells like halloween! That sweet, spicy smell from the stars. What a fun treat to receive today!

Nini I am sooo thrilled! I was kinda stressed about making it, but once I started I had alot of fun! I love making things to share with farm sisters! And you have been a wonderful swap-partner! (I bet if we were neighbors, we'd be on eachothers porches alot!)
And thank you Madeline for hosting! This was great fun!
