Connie, I am soooo glad you liked all your goodies! I had so much fun choosing them for you...my sister separated at birth! The stocking was an idea I saw and I'm so glad you liked it. It is an old Woolworth stocking that I embellished.
Big Christmas Hugs,
Tammy

Oh what wonderful things everyone has recieved. My internet was down for 4 days so I am just now catching up. I got a card from Debbie Sue, I sent her one because I hadn't any contact and she said in her card that her computer was down. Poor thing, I know how that is.
Anyway she is sending me her stocking and I mailed mine out to her today. I can hardly wait. Have a great day everyone. hugs darlene

Isn't it fun to see everyones stockings and goodies. I received the sweetest gingham snowman stocking today in the mail from Roe. It is unbelievable all the goodness that was wrapped inside. Being the impatient one that I am I opened them all as quickly as I could and ooohed ooo'd and awed. I took pictures of everything and as soon as I can locate my little key fobby usb doo-ja-ma-hicky...I will get them uploaded. I had it yesterday when I didn't need it and today it has vanished. Wouldn't you just know it? Goots love the humor of my house ghost (I call him Herman) he is a real prankster and loves to mess with my mind. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Rosemarie your stocking will be in the mail tomorrow...I have one last treat from the oven cooling to go in. Thank you so very much..this swap was so fun and from all the lovely pictures there were no bad partners to get it appears. How lucky we all are to have found such nice and thoughtful gals to share special moments, treasures, prayers and all the rest with. You all are blessings to me even though I may not have talked to you personally yet. I enjoy the forums immensely and the swaps are a blast.
Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings, Happy Holidays and all the rest to every one of you. May you all have a safe and blessed winter and and a bright and beautiful year ahead.

Peggy, you are so sweet! I must admit, I do have fun finding those special things for my farmgirl friends! Especially when they share my passion for vintage and retro...LOL. You made the stocking swap so much fun for me last year, that I couldn't wait to do it again. Everytime I look at my elf on the shelf, my altered spoon, and other goodies I remember how much fun we had.

Didn't we have fun with this swap? All the anticipation - all the great sisters that joined in. All the conversations and pictures. I really enjoyed seeing what everybody got. It was almost like sitting around on Christmas Day watching everybody open their gifts. What fun! Thank you, Beth, for hosting this swap!!
Hugs and Squishies!!

I received a large box of goodies from you which I believe may have originated from this swap. Sadly (for me) I wasn't part of this swap so you must have sent it to me by mistake. I'd be happy to pass it on but it was sent priority and cost $16.20. A bit steep for me. Let me know what you want to do. Sharon

I am 5 days without internet so cannot post pics. A big thank you to Kelly for all the wonderful goodies. I cant wait to try the butterscotch cocoa. I love the snowman ornament and towel, they are cute. I am hiding the chocolate from my hubby it looks good but gave him the ribbon candy as consolation. I love the lavender soaps they smell really good. The red velvet cupcake candle is great makes the house smell like I am baking without having to suffer the calories. Haha. Love the white rose tea. Hope you have a great holiday ladies and please forgive my smartphone typing.

Oh Beth, I totally forgot to post up a big huge thank you!!!!! All of you who think you got the best stocking got it wrong. LOL I still need to get some pictures with a real camera because I'm not sure how to post up from my phone.
First of all, the stocking is absolutely perfect for me. Love the colors! The table runner is on the table and the sweet ornaments are on the tree. We're saving the chocolate pecan pie filling for a special dessert between the holidays. The boys tried to snag the pencils, but I reminded them that I'm a girl and need fancy pretty pencils. They are boys and can use those yellow ones. The bracelet is beautiful and shall be worn regularly. The boys think it is funny because they aren't used to me wearing any jewelry other than my wedding rings and the same necklace and earrings every day. There were a few other things in the pictures...hopefully, I'll get them posted in the next few days.
Thank you so much...you really brought a smile to my face!

Karla,
So glad you enjoyed your stocking. For some reason I can't see the picture. :( I hope it all made it safely. I had a lot of fun making the stocking and spinning the wool.
