Oh, Marie...that is a good reminder...because I usually do the same thing but I was in such a hurry
to get mine out to Connie that I forgot.

So Connie please take pictures and send me a copy also to my Home email.

It never pays to be in a hurry!! With my Aunts death and being Her Estate Representative I have had
so much to do...I'm lucky I remember my own name the last two weeks. Geesh! )+:

Hugs and Smiles,
Peggy

Got my pocket letter today from CJ - thank you!! I do love it :) The special Glamping Theme was so neat to read about. The front is pictures of CJ glamping and the back (not pictured) is a letter about glamping. She wrapped it beautifully in a linen hankerchief - and tied with a yellow bow :) Thank you!!

Glad you got it, Joyce! Glamping is something that I don't get to do enough of. Since Robin, my daughter, glamps with me it's hard because she is a teacher with a very tight work schedule with limited time off and she lives in Phoenix, AZ . . . 400 miles one way away from me. If she lived here we'd be able to perhaps sneak in an overnight weekend getaway. There is really no one else here that I can get to go glamping with me either . . . at least I haven't found anyone yet!
Enjoy the letter . . . and you can see lots more pics of our tent glamping and trailer glamping on our threads in OUTPOST. There is more than one thread in that section too!
Thanks again for the swap!

Connie Warren sent me the MOST AWESOME Pocket Letter...but I am having trouble getting the pictures from my
cell phone to my laptop. It was a piece of cake to post them on FB however. So Connie I hope you took pictures...
if not...I will keep trying. I can't wait to show all the gals what you did. I feel so blessed!!!

Hugs,
Peggy

Joyce,
You come to Colorado sometime in June and you CAN GO GLAMPING with us! That's usually the time Robin and I get to go, due to her school teaching schedule! Come on down!

This is the Beautiful way that Connie wrapped my Pocket Letter...she knows I LOVE Purple!



This is the Front of the Pocket Letter...and I love how she personalized it so well. I use to be
a Red-head and these pictures of the Brunette look so much like Connie!!! Plus she did lots of
special tucks that were so personal. She did an awesome job! I loved her Picnic Theme too!



This is the back done all in Sunflowers...which makes me think of the End of Summer. So Pretty!
And she wrote her letter to me...one card of each three rows.



And this was her signature Card attached to the top front page.


Thanks Connie for such a Stunning Job on your Pocket Letter...I Feel extremely Blessed!!!
And Thanks for the bag of Werther's Originals...I am enjoying one as I type! (+;

My sister (Audra Rose) sent me a really nice pocket letter full of memories of the last three places we lived before we left home: Plymouth, IA; Mitchell, SD; Canton, SD. She did not participate in this swap so I hope it is okay that I put pictures here.



Front



Back



Nice things in boxes.



We used to play with some fancy paper dolls. My sister made the doll look like me and the two dresses and the poncho are replicas of clothing I had at that time.



Ribbons and decorated bottle caps which will be turned into magnetic pattern weights.



Tea. I love tea.



I was good at math and she was compared to me by the math teacher in high school. She was the more creative writer. She told me she received this pin from another Farmgirl in a swap and gave it to me. She does not knit.



Oopps! I forgot about Lacrosse, WS. We had some good times there.



Now this really brought back memories.



And here are the memories.

Marie...that was fine to post your sisters pocket letter on here. I'm sure ALL the girls feel like me...just love
to see the Creativity of other people's work. It looks like you and your sister shared some good memories via
this Pocket Letter. I wish my sister was still alive...she would have loved this whole Pocket Letter Concept.

Thanks for sharing with us!!

Hugs,
Peggy

Farmgirls...has everyone been in contact with their Pocket Letter Partner? I want to make sure that everyone
is staying true to their commitment in this Swap. Please let me know if you have not received your Pocket Letter
by the end of August.

Thank You,

Yes, I have sent my letter out and Patsy should have gotten it on Thursday. I just checked the mail and found Patsy's pocket letter with lots of Texas cheer. Pictures soon. This has been so much fun.

Peggs! You out did yourself! We would have a ball in Paris!! The letter card is so precious!! The pictures just don't show how awesome it is. I love all the special little pins and charms. I love the Sweetheart USN. MY dad was in the navy! I love the way you had it wrapped! The doily is beautiful!!! Big Hug!!!

I am getting an internet Explorer error and it wont post my pictures. I'm going to face book to post I just posted a pic of Lily June there 5 minutes ago. I'm going to my email and see if I can email to you and I will try and post here again too. I never had trouble posting pics to MJF. My god son will be over Monday so I will ask him if I can't get them posted by then.

Farmgirl Hugs! Connie.

Connie...Glad you received it and liked my theme. I couldn't believe somebody else in this Swap went with the
exact same theme too. I think one of my favorite little treasures I put in was the Cat and the Scotty dog on twine
...those were so me and you (I thought) but I got them from my Aunt's Jewelry Boxes. Why she had those and kept them
was beyond me...as she never had any pets in her adult life.

Hey just to let you know...when I was having problems posting to MJF being patient was a virtue...as each picture
took at least five minutes to load. I had never had that much trouble before either...so, I felt like maybe the
Internet was just really busy at the time I tried up-loading...as pictures do take the most memory.

Have a Beautiful Day My Friend!!! I'm off to Church soon and I am sure you are too!

Love and Hugs,
Peggy

Peggy,
The time for your pics to load may have been because it was resizing them. It does that if they are larger size pics.

I know that if I load pics taken on my phone they take longer because they are larger. On my digital camera, it doesn't because I usually change the pixel size before taking pics and they don't take as long to load!
