Let me know if I paired you with the right number of partners.
Contact your partners.
Reply to me please that you got the update. There may be some that do not electricity due to weather.
Thanks to all who participated.
Let the fun begin.
Hugs,
Patsy
Bump please.
Just a note. Sign ups close soon.
I think I posted the Bump twice. Sorry. Still learning.

Last year I hosted this swap. My first swap ever. Let's try it again.
This swap is a way to participate in 'The America Goes Red Challenge' to become more aware of women's heart disease. Check out women's heart info. So vital to our health.
The sign ups begin today through Feb. 15th. Partners posted
Feb. 16th. Mail outs Feb. 28. Request one or two partners.
The photos must be black and white, before 1960, 4 in. by 6 in. and decorated in red.
No clip art or magazine copies. Photos can be some of your own or someone else's. I like postcards that I have or purchased in antique shops or trades days.
Write on the back of your photo the birth and death of the person and a little note about them if you know them. If you do not know the identity of the person say so and where you purchased the photo or postcard.
On page 6 of the Farmgirl Swap page you will find under Ladies' Vintage Photo Swap Partners Posted some pictures of last years photos and chatter among several farm girls.
The picture I posted is one of the postcards that I purchased from my favorite antique mall in Muenster, Tx. No info on back. She looks like a sea faring farm girl that I would love to have as a friend.
Hope you join. So much fun.
Hugs,
Patsy

Thanks Patsy! She was such a great role model for the women in our family! She owned the store in the picture and she Quilted and Canned and Sewed and Crocheted. Some of the best Summers of my childhood was spent at her House, cutting out Quilt pieces, canning food, and helping out at the store, and I got a tiny sack of Penny Candy for my pay!
Hey Peggy!

I'd love to join. What a wonderfully fun idea!
I would like to think that I will die a heroic death, but it's more likely I'll trip over my cat and choke on a spoonful of frosting.

Becky, Thank you!! I love your pictures! Those ladies got that waist tight! I like you, would love to see what color that dress was! I love the picture with your Mom, Irma , with her friends. (she is on the far right) She is soooo beautiful has a beautiful smile! and still going at 90. having your mom and Dad both in their 90's! you are so blessed! WONDERFUL!! Isn't that so fabulous that you have their college stories to pass on!! and yes I grew up the same way, not much money, but taught to work hard ,and be proud at the end of the day of what you can accomplish!
I so loved your card! The paper reminded me of a Easter dress I had when I was about 7, that was Yellow dotted Swiss fabric.
I will be mailing mine out Thursday.

You are welcome Connie. Yes, Emma was a perfect farmgirl in her day
but lots of hardship and sorrow along the way but that is part of life
too and she remained cheerful and an optimist at the end of the day.
Thanks for posting Becky's vintage ladies photos. I love how
she decorated them. Patsy, you came up with a wonderful idea and I
hope we can continue this swap for a long time!
What I make with my
hands, I give with my heart .... |
