I am excited that there is interest in this swap! The idea is to create a mini binder, The empty binders are usually around $3-$5 and compatible with 5.5" x 8.5" pages. Here is one: http://www.target.com/p/avery-durable-view-binder-with-round-rings-5-1-2-x-8-1-2-1-white/-/A-16874312#prodSlot=medium_1_7&term=mini+binder

You can buy or make the contents of the binder. I have seen quite a few ideas out there on Pinterest for how to put these together as well as some printable templates.

I imagine these being Farmgirl planners to keep track of farm girl addresses, merit badge notes, swaps, inspiration, gardening ideas, etc. Use your imagination!

Sign ups will end May 20th. Mail out will be June 15th to give everyone plenty of time to get creative.

Here are a few ideas/resources I think you all might enjoy:

Amy and Sara, Thank You both for the wonderful binders. Each is so different. I love both of them. Will mail yours both out tomorrow. Been so busy. I'm ready for summer to be over. At least all the work of summer. Canning, gardening, watering, watering, and watering.LOL Will post pictures of the binders soon.

Farm Girl Hugs,
Brenda

Amy and Sara your binders are on there way. Sorry to take so long. I did a lot of cutting out by hand. It took longer than I thought it would. These are the first binders I have ever made. Hope you both like them.

Thank You Both! for the ones you sent me they are Great!









The top and bottom pictures are from Amy and the two in the middle are from Sara. Great jobs both of you!

Oh Brenda, when I opened the package I couldn't get over how beautiful the binder you made is! So much hand work went into it, it's amazing. I love the recurring butterfly theme! Every page is something special, I had a really hard time deciding what to post pictures of. I wanted to show every single page, but here's what I settled for:

The front cover and extra goodies. I just realized the pretty heart ornament you made isn't in the picture, but I love it, too!


One of the handmade pockets with pretty paper goodies to play with.


Two of the many inspirational quotes inside.


Another elaborate pocket page with inspiring words and sparkly butterflies.

This is a treasure that I will enjoy forever. Thank you so very much!

Hugs and Happy Day!

You are very Welcome Amy. The other one I made had a lot of handwork in it too, but it was completely different than this one. Glad you liked this one.

I will, Sarah!! Just keep reminding me...haha! I was thinking of possibly checking into sending it UPS or something. I heard there prices are comparable, or even cheaper!

Any news Joyce? I saw that Jill had sent the farmgirl swap item your way, so I wasn't sure if your strike there was over or if it was more of a leap of faith. :) Let me know.

Hi Sarah - from what I understand, it's still unresolved...I was debating myself I should risk sending it Monday or not. I will let you know for sure after I talk to my husband to see what he thinks is going to happen. Joyce
