Oh my goodness! My partner, Pennie and I had the best swap! Not only did we both love our packages, but we hit it off as new friends and text almost everyday.
Here is what she sent me! She is so talented and made so many great things by hand. A little prim doll, a hand painted witch sign, handmade witch boots with broom, cute Halloween stickers, candy bucket, glow in the dark straw cup, jack-I-lantern notepad, crocheted bag, keychain, crocheted coasters, little polyclay witch and ghost, charm bracelet, Halloween pencils, tart Warner squares, travel hand sanitizer, prim tin can, and a candy sampler.
And she said she could not upload a photo of hers, so here is what I sent her!
A handmade Wicked Witch of the East bookmark, candle with witch hat decorated with feathers from my chickens, vintage cat punch needle, vintage cat and pumpkin ornaments, homemade cinnamon glazed popcorn and spiced almonds in modge podged jars, bottled "swamp fog", candy sticks, caramels, prim candles, masked photo, and a trick or treat box :)
I had so much fun with this swap. It really sparked my creativity!!

Wonderful Treats that are arriving by broomstick. Love all the creativity and farm girl love being shown. And making new friendships is what it is all about! Great job everyone!

I love all the pics! I got my package today from Judy in Canada. I have not opened it yet. I am too tired to enjoy, Gonna wait till tomorrow. I got an email from Judy saying they had to help another farmer in need, so she would get her box from me, from the post office when she got back. I hope all went well!

This Farmgirl swap was just so fun! Everyone came up with so many creative ways to celebrate Halloween Farmgirl style. The thing I love most about sharing swaps is trying to dream up ways to send out a little package that brightens someone's day. We are all used to being the maestro's of making everyone have a fun celebration, and the swaps are our way of helping "the givers" be on the receiving end! When I get a farm girl package, my husband always passes by to see if there is any candy to snatch up! Hehe!!

I have been trying to download my pictures from my phone without success....soo I can't wait any longer to post my thank you to my wonderful swap partner and our wonderful hostess, Julie!!! I got THE most wonderful Trick or Treat package from her....so many great treasures. Julie made me the cutest Trick or Treat bag I've ever seen with vintage looking Halloween fabric to die for..it even has a Halloween button and ribbon sewn on.... She also made me a darling black and orange polka dot apron and an adorable Halloween mug rug! Julie found me two vintage Halloween mid-century masks that brought me right back to trick or treating when I was young, elastic band and all...they are so cool. Also, vintage cardboard cutouts of witches and bats! Then, vintage looking Bethany Lowe hanging decorations, vintage looking treat boxes filled with candies, adorable green straws with witch heads, bottle cap magnets, kleenex, Halloween dishtowel, mug holder, bottle labels, and TONS of candy and goodies (which are almost gone). I am still trying to figure out how to post pictures of all my wonderful treasures....(Connie I know you're going to want to see them all, especially my masks!!!). I broke my camera when we were on vacation and don't have the instruction manual to the fancy camera my son gave me, so all I have is my iPhone and I can't figure out how to download pictures to my computer...they keep disappearing. So, as soon as I can figure it out I will post them. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Julie...you just picked everything out so perfectly for me, you knew exactly what I would love!!! This has been such a wonderfully fun swap! I am almost finished with your box Julie and will get it mailed out hopefully Monday!
Big Hugs, Tammy
