                      Darlene, I received my wonderful box stuffed full of sheep items today. Thank you so much!! It is all great. I have no idea where you found all those things because sheep items around here were hard to come by! The hand-painted sheep box is beautiful. You are very talented! The white ribbons will definitely get used in Christmas decorations. The 3 sheep figurines are precious and I love stickers.....can't believe you found those with sheep. Baa Baa Black Sheep book...why didn't I think of that? I taught that to my own children as well as hundreds of my kindergarten students over the years. The seeds will be planted next year and I will think of you when I eat spinach...which I love. Thanks for the tea bags as well; I love hot tea.....much needed here in the North!That bank with the pig head and sheep body is too cute. How did you know I can cross stitch? The book is adorable. And, last but not least....sheep fabric....too cute!! Thank you again for everything. I feel like I need to send you another box of things! 
  Hugs, Portia

                      Darlene, I am so glad you liked everything. I had so much fun making those coasters. I had looked at that pattern several times and wanted to make them but never got around to it. So, when I saw the Sheep Swap, I thought they would be perfect. I feel like my package was skimpy compared to yours....maybe we should start mass-producing sheep items!!
  Hugs, Portia

                      Darlene, crazy me!  I left out one of the cutest things in the box...a sheep made from real wool with wooden legs. I have one similar that belonged to an aunt of mine. They will look so good together. See...you gave me too much!

                      Portia I love my box. As for the stickers I found them in some stuff at a school I used to work at and they came from the original owners of the school when they ran it so they were very vintage stickers.  The pig in sheeps clothing I found at a rummage sale and thought it fit in perfectly.  I thought Baa Baa Blacksheep fit in their perfectly, I found another book like it only on a different animal.  i am glad you liked the sheep with wooden legs too.and the fabric and stuff.  I had a hard time finding sheep things and then it all came together.  It was fun putting it together and I am glad you liked it. I really am glad you liked the box, it was my first one.
 
  Have fun and thank you so much for mine.

                      Hi Sarah,  So glad you liked your package.  It was fun making the sheep.  I'm so surprised how often I send hearts or other items that seen to be just right.  I get joy out of knowing that.  Farm Girl Hugs, Brenda

                      Madeline I am so sorry it has taken me so long to send a message. I put my back out and have been dealing with Dr appointments and all kinds of pain. I am going to try and finish the sewing project I started for you today and will mail it out as soon as I can. I will email you when I send it out.

                      Hi Shelly :-) I hope you received my email ? I believe the Lord is at work here as you have shown great strength through your pain to bring a Smile to My Heart. The death of my friend came unexpectedly & has caused me to question my faith. I hope you will find some relief from your pain in knowing that your swap means even more because I know that you cared enough & at Great expense, honored a swap, that some would not have done. It shows Great character & a True Farmgal Spirit. I am honored to have you as a my partner. I will keep you in my prayers, for a speedy recovery.....JPG) 
  KEEP A SMILE IN YOUR HEART... |
