LOVE it Ginger! Both file folders have been so creative! SO different too! I folded mine the way Ginger did.....and had the hardest time coming up with a 'Summer Solstice' theme!!! I think I thought this one out too much, lol! Hope you can use it and like it Marlene!!!

Hi Mary, Hopefully you'll be receiving my package soon, it was mailed June 5th, we are rural, so it usually takes an extra day or two to reach its destination from here in Central Oregon. I think she said 5 - 7 days - today will be 7. So sorry it's taking so long - next time I'll have to select priority mail for you! Have a beautiful week! April

April, Ah yes, I've been out of town and just recently returned, so there was oodles of mail at my PO Box. So yes, our Soltice folder was there!!!

Awesome!! Soo love your gift.. even the front of the package was decorated... sweet touch! I'll post some pics now.. Did I mention I love sunflowers and Daisy's too? Kitchen towels with a Tropical,feel! Sunflower potholder/dish cloth. Cards to,use, Flower covered coasters, SUNFLOWER SEEDS!!!! Yeah!!! I had hoped to plant some this past Spring, but never got. My flower bed started. Instead I let God plant Texas wildflowers, complements of the birds from last year. And some pineapple flavored Trident gum. And the package was somcreatively wrapped in the old pattern paper with butterfly and flower attached.
A Totally Sunshiny Day!!!

Oh Wow! I just read the typed, cut words on the decorative folder front... it said:

"Summer is where farm girls go barefoot and their hearts are just as free as their toes"

Love it! Thanks April.

Hi Mary - oh so glad it finally showed up and that you liked it. The quote on the front is one of my favorites... something so sunshiney and free spirited about it. Wishing you a beautiful summer! ~ April

Dianna, got my package. YAY! Where Woman Create Mag. Luv
File Folder Awesome .It had a Drawing of Moon on One side and Sun on Other when they come together a pic of a whole face. A dish cloth already on the stove handle. Two yellow pockets on each side with tags in. Then large pockets in the middle full of tags and teas. YAY. Oh my goodness girl you are talented. And your cute card. The cute little birds. I cannot draw worth a hootie...

Thank you so much Dianna you are so talented...

Awesome Marlee!! I am sorry tho I got yours and another swap partners cards mixed up. I am trying to fix that now. :( I had a struggle with creating this folder but once I got the back figured out the front came like a lightbulb going off! I used a paint technique I saw when we were in Cozumel. I loved how it turned out. If I had 2 more weeks the inside would have been as wild as the outside! Lol...these can get very addicting! I will post a pic for you if that's not too vain....hugs...you are a great partner!

Just wanted to share my Summer folder that I received from Sarah. Sorry I am so late posting. It has been a very eventful summer at my home. Nevertheless, I was so touched by all the details that Sarah added inside her creative and thoughtful gift!
