                      | Melody Joy, 
 I may move to Eugene just to be in your chapter!
 
 I am a notebook and paper fanatic, and your spectacular instructions and creative ideas have just provided me with heaven on earth.  I need to start a 'personal wellness' program, having gotten to a place mentally (good) and physically (squishy) where I am ready to start this, and your notebook is PERFECT for this important project.
 
 I can imagine how much time it too for you to come up with ideas, finalize what you wanted to do, write the instructions and then get it in such a beautiful format.
 
 Your efforts are very much appreciated, and your FarmGirl chapter is blessed to have you!  Thank you for sharing.
 
 Cindy

                      | Hi Cindy, 
 Thank you for your kind words. I'm happy you're feeling inspired and I hope your personal wellness program bears much fruit. It's nice to know there's someone else out there who loves notebooks and paper as much as I do :-)
 
 Blessings.

                      | Hi Sharon and Denise, 
 Thank you for your comments. It took me a bit to respond, as my internet service was down this weekend. I'm glad you like my blog and the post about our meeting binders. Have a blessed Thanksgiving :-)
 
 Blessings and a farmgirl hug,
 
 Melody Joy,

                      | SO fun!  I hope to start a chapter when my kids are a little bit older (and I have a little bit more time and freedom!) and I will definitely use this idea!  Cute blog too!

                      | Hi Bold Turquoise, 
 Thanks for your comments about our binders and my blog. I hope you do start a chapter when you're able. I have found being involved in a chapter makes me try new things I don't know if I would otherwise, like making our own cleaning supplies and soap. It's so much more fun to do these things with friends.
 
 Best wishes,

                      | I want to "Thank You" Joy, for your wonderful Farmgirl Binder tutorial!  I have been a Farmgirl for some time now, but, I come and go from here as life gets in the way at times.  I want to change all that.  The Farmgirl Connection makes me feel grounded and satisfied.  Your binder info is so helpful and I know that it will help me get back on track.

                      | Melody Joy, This is such a fantastic idea! I love to be organized and this is a wonderful way to get and stay organized as well and get together with other farmgirls. Definitely something I will be looking into starting in my own area. Thank you for sharing!

                      | Thank you so much for sharing your link to your farmgirl binder how to!!  So very organized and adorable.  I love the idea and although I am not in a local chapter yet, I wanted to start one of my own to keep all my sisterhood paperwork in!  Hmmm, maybe I'll have to start a chapter... thank you for the inspiration!
