I have to admit a crafting failure. At first I planned to make a lacy hollow hanging heart, like when my sister & I would dip yarn in glue and wrap it around a balloon and let it dry. But I found that heart balloons only came as foil ones, and the helium seeped out quickly. Luckily I had a Plan B, which will be mailed out tomorrow.

We all learn from our mistakes, Vanessa. Sounds like a neat idea, though.

Well Vanessa, it worked out for the best because I received some lovely goodies from you! 
Here's what I was blessed with:
~A beautiful cross-stitched pillow with pansies on it which I thought was interesting. Not only are Pansies one of my favorite flowers but another name for Pansies is Heart's Ease :)
~2 Sweet little hearts with pockets. One had a cute heart shaped yoyo in it and the other some decorated bottle caps :)
~A Sweet card from Florida with the cutest beach chairs on it :)
~A jar of Loose leaf tea which I cannot wait to have tonight while reading :)
~Some very cute embellishment stickers :)
~A very sweet handwritten card :)
Thank you again Vanessa for a beautiful heart-felt gift :) And thank you Brenda for hosting

April,
I received your most wonderful hearts. I love the button heart and it is hanging in my kitchen where I look at several times a day. The necklace is beautiful and perfect. The coaster is really very nice and I love how you decoupaged it. I am going to stand it up so the saying can be seen. I don't want to use it. LOL! The gift tag and cards are beautiful. Most of all the special touches from the gifts, wrapping and special wording you placed everywhere, you made my day. Thank you for being a great partner. Your package will go out today. I wish I could post a picture but I don't know how. I also will post on the post card swap that I got yours. Looks beautiful in Oregon. Thanks again and have a wonderful day.
Be Blessed and Be a Blessing,
Darlene

Hi Darlene, You are soooo welcome! I'm glad you received your heart package okay. I'm even more happy that you enjoyed the hearts because I really enjoyed making them for you! Love is what makes the world go round! One reason why I have fallen in love with Mary Janes Farm, so many wonderful farm girls expressing love in so many different ways! Such a happy place! Have a wonderful week and may love always surround you! April

Thank you Sharon! I just returned from my vacation last night to find your box had arrived. Everything you sent is so ME! I love lusterware (tea cilup), and purple (bracelet & earrings) and I'm gaga for paisley (handwarmers)I can't wait to try the tea you sent, too. A wonderful swap!

I am so glad that you like everything Vanessa :) I knew you liked Lusterware (did my homework) and thought you might like the teacup and saucer (not heart shaped but from the heart :)) Thank YOU for being a great swap partner and thanks again to Miss Brenda

April, I am so glad you like your heart package. It was a pleasure to be your swap partner. I love my hearts from you as I posted before. Friendship comes easily to those that open their hearts. When we can listen more and talk less we provide a sanctuary to let someone open their hearts to us and we to them.The friendship developes and the heart is glad. It's all about hearts, LOL! This forum has been good for our farmgirl hearts, hasn't it? Many blessings my new friend. You make my heart sing!
Be Blessed and Be a Blessing,
Darlene

Mary Jo Thank You!! for the lovely hearts. I love each of them. Will try to get a picture posted tomorrow. My camera isn't playing nice with our laptop. Electronics change too fast for me.
Absolutely love the wind chime! Thank you so much for Swapping with me.
Farm Girl Hugs,

Mary Jo, Thank You so much for all the Heart items. They are wonderful. I really like the wind chime. The card of Ten Ways to Love is going to be framed and hung for all to see every day. Especially me!
Thanks again for another Great Heart Swap everyone. Will do another one this Fall.
Farm Girl Hugs,
Brenda

So glad you liked the hinged wooden heart box I made for you along with the tuck ins.
It was fun and I really like this handmade heart exchange. Can't wait to see what you made
and I'll post here as soon as it arrives.

Mary,
Thanks so very much, your wonderful package arrived today! I love the cross stitched
picture in the heart frame with pretty eyelet all around it as well has the crocheted heart
shaped box and lid... I will be putting some lavender potpourri in it. I also really like the
pillow with the little hearts fabric and hand stitched quilted look. Thank you so much
and thanks for being my partner. Thanks Brenda for hosting once again.
What I make with my
hands, I give with my heart .... |

I received my heart package from Sara - it was waiting for me when I returned from Michigan last week. I still haven't heard that she got hers that I sent over 3 weeks ago. Sara sent me a very nice white denim tote that she appliqued a heart on and glued red buttons all around it. I will take a picture tomorrow. Thanks for hosting the swap, Brenda.
