I've got to say that I am enjoying these "rays of sunshine" gifts even more than the "blues" boxes. All of these things are so bright and cheerful. Thanks for posting photos. Who knew there was so much yellow out there? It brings joy to my heart! Joey

Marilyn, your handmade cards are lovely. Betty, your cat card is very cleaver and way too cute. Sarah, your rose scarf is something special. I've never seen that before and would love it if you would consider giving me the pattern. It would be just lovely for Mothers Day or a summer birthday. Thanks farmgirls, for all you do to make your partners feel special. What a great group of swappers this "color swap crew" are! I've enjoyed every photo. Joey

Hi Brenda! I received my yellow package and just love everything! Thank you so much! I especially love the chicken hankie!! I put the little bird up on a hanging in my kitchen, it is so adorable. I will definately use the fabric and the bookmark is already stuck in my textbook... it will cheer me up on those late nights of study! Did you make the crochet trivet and the heart ornament? They are both so pretty so pretty. Thank you, I really love everything!

Hi Sarah,
Glad you liked the items I sent you. Yes, I made the flower dishcloth. At least that's what it was called on Ravalry. It's more like a trivet to me though. I also made the stuffed heart. I try to send one in every package I mail out.
The bead is beautiful. Your friend does great work. Thanks for being my partner.

Joey, I just sent you an email - enjoy!
Brenda, it is so pretty! I will use it as a trivet so I don't mess it up as a dishcloth... thanks again!!

Denise, I received your package today, I love all of it. The apron is so nice it will be hard to use it. I thank you so much for the crocheted dish cloth, the all yellow buttons, sunflower seeds, the ribbon and the yellow fabric. Don't know just yet what I will make with the fabric, but have something in mind. Thanks so much for being my special partner. Big Hugs
Farmgirl Hugs & May all your Wishes come true.

Sherry,
So glad you got it ok. As you can see I had a much harder time than you did coming up with yellow things at least things that were only yellow.  Glad you like them though.

Jene,
Thank you so much for all the sunshine! Let me know when you get yours - I have something to tell you, but I don't want to ruin the surprise if you haven't opened yours yet!

I drink tea everyday! The fabric is wonderful - I just haven't decided if I want to make a basket liner or apron with it. I am working on a button collection so those were great. I'm always crafting and use a lot of ribbon, I was just looking for a highlighter the other day, and the hankie is beautiful! Thank you so much for all the wonderful goodies - this was a great swap :)

Jan, I'm glad the package arrived and you enjoyed everything!
My package of sunshine arrived yesterday....thanks a bunch it really made my day! I love the mug cozy...it puts a smile on my face every time I see it. I drink tea so it will be put to good use this winter if my paintbrushes don't claim it for a cute container first. The coasters are really interesting....I love the unique wheat seed design (I've never seen fabric like it before) on the fabric and they match my fall decor perfectly. The notebook has already come in handy for keeping track of my grocery list. And the buttons and yo-yos are really cute too, so now I'm having fun dreaming up some ideas on how to use them. The dishcloths will look great in my kitchen with my blue countertops. Thanks for everything...sending a big hug to you too!
This has been a really fun swap. Thanks again to Joey for hosting and I hope you have/had a wonderful Birthday!
Cheers! ~ Marilyn

Hi Mel, Just wondering if the package arrived yet? Let me know.
Thanks
Theresa

Heather,
thank you for the wonderful package of Sunshine!!!
Sorry for the delay, I returned yesterday from a wonderful
vacation. So sad to return, but my spirits were lifted when I found all
the Farmgirl mail!
So.....unless I am seeing double, I think I know what the
surprise was! than you for everything. Looking at this picture I see a
relaxing mineral bath with honeysuckle scented candles and a yellow
sponge in my future. Thank you so very much. I have enjoyed having
you for a swap friend!

Sending a huge Thank YOU to Becky!
What a wonderful box of bright sunny fun I received when I got home from vacation last week! (sorry it's taken me some time to post, I don't get much 'hands free' time) We just love the placemats and napkin/rings set! My children belong to a homeschool co-op and we share a sit down meal as a group every week-- This set will be so perfect to help set the table and set the mood for the lunch! I also received a beautiful bright shawl which I fully intend to keep out and around in our grey, chilly February days and a dazzling flower top pen complete with jewel on top to keep near the phone message area! All such lovely items!
I hope you have received your package by now Becky! And thank you for all the kindnesses! I love it all :D
**I have taken a picture but am having trouble putting it on this site, I will try again tomorrow to share the sunshine!**

Jenne,
I'm glad you enjoyed your package. The funny story is that I was thinking of opening the tea and using a ribbon to bunch some together for you and keep a couple to try for myself. I decided I would just get a box for myself the next time I went to the store. I was laughing out loud when the first thing I pulled out of your package was the same tea!! Thanks a bunch. I think it's yummy - I hope you do too! Thanks for a great swap!

This is the package that I received from Alicia. I loved everything. I started wearing the slippers right away. I also received a dishcloth that will fit in nicely with my yellow kitchen. I can always use more ribbon and the tote came in really handy with carrying my school books as I go to classes. The pins are always a nice addition to my sewing room and the toys my cats took over and started to play with the minute I opened the package.
Thank you so much Alicia for the beautiful package.

So glad you liked everything, Joyce. It was fun to put together and I'm glad it got there safely.
I also LOVED everything you sent me. Unfortunately, I can't post a pic today (maybe my DH can do it for me tomorrow.) Joyce sent me a wonderful package. The taffy is long gone. DH and I ate the whole thing soon after it arrived. The pot holder is so cute and handy. I've never made a pot holder. The little button pinned to it is my favorite, I think. I collect buttons and wear them on my purse so I pinned the one you sent me right on. I don't drink coffee. I love tea and drink several cups a day. Lemon is one of my favorite for winter as a pick me up, energy boost or sore throat soother. Thank you for sending so many. I will use them all. I can always use ribbon and even used the one you sent already on my grandgirls birthday present. Have also already made a dishrag from the yarn you sent. Aren"t home-made dishrags the BEST?! I almost forgot to thank you for the crossword book because my hubby snagged it as soon as the package was opened and I haven't seen it since! He goes thru a book a week I think, and thanks you too. Thanks so much for my special package from Canada. I really enjoyed being your swap partner. Joey

Mail out day was almost 2 weeks ago. If you haven't let your partner know that you received your package, please do so. If you have not yet received a package, please let me know NOW!! Thanks to all who followed thru. You are the best!!
I'm working non-stop over the next 2 weeks but I'd like to "wrap up yellow" so we can move on to the next color. Thanks all. Hugs, Joey

Hi Theresa.....Received my lovely yellow swap today! Neat! I know you could not have known but I love, love, love incense! :) Always have a need for new potholders and mitts. Lemons are my very favorite citrus and sunflowers bring a smile to my face.....and most of all....who can't use a Farmer's Almanac? Thanx so much for everything. The hospital stay put a bit of a crimp on my daily structure. I have your swap boxed and ready for mailing but won't be able to send until next week. So sorry, please forgive the tardiness!!
Thanx again for the great swap. :)
My best to all,
Mel
