Beth, I've been on vacation and just returned, so I'm sure it's in the stack. I'm working on mine, so don't despair, I'm hardly ever late!

Here is the Button Pocket Letter sent to me by Beth. Pretty awesome, right? Beth, I love the bling buttons the best! I love shiny things, much like a crow in that regard! Ha! Thank you so much

Portia, I received your pocket letter today. I love it. All of the little dress pictures and drawings remind me of my childhood.

Vanessa,
Thank you for the pretty Button Pocket Letter.
I really enjoyed the tea. The decorated matchbox in pink flowers is the first decorated matchbox I have every received. Loved the "Good To Be A Farmgirl" trinket.
Some many pretty pictures and buttons.
Thank you so much,
Hugs,
Patsy

I am so glad you like it! I had to rummage around for enough cute buttons, and wouldn't you know it, now I've got a load of them! The flower fair fairies were printed in color, then enhanced with color pencils. I am in the matchbox swap too, and made a second one, knowing it would be perfect for somebody special!

I am glad I received my pocket letter from Portia and she saw that I posted the photos. Sadly, hers was delivered to her mail box just before noon on Monday...So she may have never seen it.

I received my Button Pocket Letter from Peggy.



Wrapped up.



Front. This is a coloring page which Peggy colored herself. I'm stealing this idea.



Back with Buttons.



Buttons - all of them vintage.



The letter.

I enjoyed this letter immensely. I will find very nice places for all the buttons she sent to me. I loved that she wrapped it in a hankie. I just love hankies.Thank you Peggy.

Marie...I'm so glad you received the Button Pocket Letter and liked it. Like I said in my letter I was so sick and still am.
But I have never missed a Swap Yet in over five years...didn't plan to miss this one either. I liked those buttons so much more when
I put them in your PL...they look not as pretty to me now. Hope it's just me. As I said they are all Vintage.

I look forward to receiving yours ... Give me something FUN to look forward to.

Hugs and Blessings,
Peggy

Marie...I got My Wonderful Pocket Letter today!!! I Love It! I took a bunch of pictures but have to transfer them off my phone...so, I will try to post them
Later tonight. I wanted to let you know that it did come today and that I think you did a wonderful job on All of it! I'm so
Thrilled.

Beth and others...thanks so much for your comments and prayers...I am just now starting to feel better. Still not walking though as it makes me start
Coughing up a Storm. So I will take one more week off from my 10,000 Steps a day. I miss it like crazy as I have always walked....just not this much for years.

Hugs and Blessings,
Peggy

Thank you Peggy. I had to rethink my design a couple times to get it the way I wanted. I have realized that I have too few colors in my button box.

I got the Button Pocket letter from Patsy today, and all I can say is "Oh My!" There are glittery buttons, metal buttons, flowery buttons, and cute tiny green buttons. On the back is a button tree, and I can see how the trunk, branches, and leaves were colored, cut, and glued on each pocket. The cold brewed tea packets will be used soon, the weather is already hot here. I love the stickers too - never can have enough! I also love the letter, it sounds like you & your husband are soulmates. Thank you!

My Pocket Letter came wrapped in a pretty hand-towel.

b
I believe this is the Front...done so Lovely!


This is the back. Marie had cool information about the History of Buttons, What they are used for,
And just some cool sayings about buttons. I found this really Interesting!


And then she sent some yummy teas and a great letter!

As I said before I was just so Delighted with the Job she did and the buttons were a mix of Vintage
and new...but they were all really Special. Thanks Marie so very much!

Blessings and Hugs,
Peggy
