So, I had this idea for a new swap and I am calling it Apres le Jardin or After the Garden. With weather improving, so many farm girls are busy putting in vegetable or flower gardens everywhere. For this swap, you will send someone something that they would enjoy after a long afternoon working in the garden or farm. Here are some suggestions: crocheted or knitted washcloth and a nice bar of soap, a few special teas to try, homemade herbal bath sachets, a package of your homemade laundry powder tied with a bow, or anything you might enjoy having after spending time outside. What do you think?
Sign up will be through May 22 and mailout will be May 31. I suggest that we keep it simple and a nice small card with a message is always special to receive.
I hope others will find this new idea fun and different! 
Hi Farmgirls! Here are the swap buddies. Please don't be confused that you see me listed twice. We have an uneven number so I get to swap with two people!  My pleasure!!
RedTractoGirl/KySheeplady
RedTractor Girl/herbquilter
LovinRchickens/MarySueW
joyfulmelodies/Shabinlife
hudsoninaf/Denise Ann
treelady/Killarney
Marcy/Mrssarahhall
If you have any questions let me know. Time to contact our swap buddies for addresses and let the fun begin. If you are able, please post photos to share and or just let us hear about all of the creative ideas everyone came up with!
Thank-you all for participating and I hope everyone has fun!
Happy Memorial Day!! |

So happy to see that people are signing up! I hope it will be fun and different for everyone too. Joyce, don't worry about living in Canada because I don't mind mailing there at all. We can work it all out so welcome.
