Hi Farmgirls!
**************
PARTNERS POSTED:
AUDRA ROSE -and- KRISSEL
MARLEE -and- APRIL
PLEASE REACH OUT TO YOUR PARTNER FOR MAILING ADDRESS - MAIL OUT NO LATER THAN JUNE 7TH.
HAVE FUN AND PLEASE POST PICTURES IF YOU CAN!!
********************************************************************
If anyone is interested in an altered tin box swap, please sign up below. You would decorate one tin (either a cookie tin, tea tin, spice tin, etc.) for your farmgirl partner. No theme - You may use any mediums you'd like, paint, decoupage, artificial and/or dry flowers, old faux jewelry - your imagination is the limit!! There are so many ideas on pinterest to inspire - be sure to search for altered cookie tin, altoid tin, tea tins, I found that each search provided different results.
The end result could be used for decorative purposes and/or actual use!
My grandmother made me one years ago, she wrapped it in fabric, lace and beads and I have used it as my sewing box to hold my needles and thread ever since. Adore it!
Sign ups by May 31st.
Mail out by June 7th.
One partner each!

Thank you Venessa! I really liked my tin! The recipe cards will go to my son in his birthday box at the end of the month! I will use this tin for more sewing stuff! The bath bombs of lavender also will be a wonderful treat!

I cut them out and glued them on with Mod Podge. I have a new respect for Victorian ladies who did it!

Kristi, I love the trio of tins you sent! The first aid tin has bandaid, and I'll add Tylenol to it. The jewellry tin can hold my earrings when they pinch (the necklace is lovely), and the sewing tin will come in handy for my needlework. I used to do ribbon embroidery - I will have to take it up again!
Thank you so much!
