                      | Dear Joyce, 
 Thank you so much for the wonderful package you sent me. I love the soap and not just a flat bar of soap but a molded design on it. And the lip balm is just great! How did you know I use that often is beyond me but what you sent me is great. Thank you so much for the gift. It was just the pick me up I needed to brighten my day.

                      | I received the most lovely package from Candida this week!  Thank you so much, Candida.  I put the turquoise pendant on right away, since I have been suffering the past few months with sacroiliitis.  You don't know how it made me feel to see such lovely gifts!!!  I decided to sew the lace around the handkerchief.  The package just really made my day.  Thanks SOOOOOO much! June

                      | Lin, I got your package yesterday and am slow posting a Great big THANK YOU! I love the spool of green thread, I can't remember if I told you I have a collection of them, I love it and added it to my set, I don't have one in that style, and did you make the pillow? I hung it on my door knob inside my craft room, I just love it too! You are so sweet! Sending something your way soon. I have been busy helping my husband with the pool, we put the forms around it last night and they guys are here pouring the concrete this morning, we are so ready to have this project finished : ) . All is going well this summer however it has been terribly hot. Talk to you soon! Thank you again Friend!

                      | Glad it arrived, Kelly!  No I didn't know you had a spool collection, but thought you would enjoy based on your signature "May your bobbin always be full...." and you love the "junk shops" etc!  That's great...glad you liked it!!  The pillow was an experiment.....!  Thought it turned out okay.  Know how happy you'll be to get the pool project completed and how you will all enjoy!!! Are you doing any craft fairs this summer?  Talk soon....hugs lin

Treelady...AKA Julie from NDIve have been having a very rough past few week but things are finally looking up and going in the right direction...today as I was running around to head to work I received a package from Julie.. I didnt have time to sit down and go thru it and read her letter(in beautiful handwriting I might add, not my chicken scratch lol)As I was running late so opened it just alittle to get a sneak peakand OMG A Beautiful handmade apron was at the top of the box......It brought tears to my eyes that she took thetime out ofher very busy life to make me something I have always wanted but never got...I cant wait to get out of work tonight and curl up w acup of tea and give my "Julie" box the attention it deserves.. I thank you so much Julie you have no idea what that handmade apron truely means to me 
 Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves,for they shall never cease to be amused:)

                      | Ruth - Thanks bunches for the anniversary card and wishes, yours was the first card we got. Thanks, also, for the special package of all things TEA!   Love it!!
 Your cards and words always make me feel like I've been hugged.
  The tea cozy is wonderful - I feel special knowing you made it just for me. Very, very sweet. Thank you. Can't wait to sit down with a cup - just need to decide which to try first - the Earl Grey Lavender will probably be first,  I think..??..
 And the spoon rest is very cheerful (Silly men, my DH, said "Don't you have one of those?.."   Ha
  - "Yes, dear."  - and don't I have like a whole bunch of tea pots/cups etc... like one is enough.  ) Just kidding, he enjoys watching me with FG mail - doesn't always understand but... oh, well.
  I'll be in touch soon.  Love.....and...
 
 Blessings,  staci FG# 973

 Thank you so much for the sweet "sheep" package you sent my way.  We have a little blind lamb this year, and the sheep you sent reminds me of him.  He is a sweetheart, and loves to cuddle.  The socks are too cute, thank you so much for thinking of me.
 
 Sent a package your way, said to arrive the 1st or 2nd.  Thank you again for making my day!

                      | Dear Staci,  So glad you enjoyed your "tea" package!  I have a fairly large collection of bone china tea cups and saucers and love them all!  Also have a couple of tea pots.  Dave is a bigger collector than I ever thought to be, so he just lets me enjoy my collection!   Just sort of makes me smile and relax when I sit with a cup of tea.  Sounds good even now on a warm night! Looking forward to using all the 4th of July "stuff" you sent me this weekend. Thanks again
  I'll take pictures and e-mail them to you - don't know how to post on here! Hugs and blessing to you,
 Ruth

                      | Ladies, 
 I got the grandest swap box the other day from Michelle (Primitive Pilgrim) festive and perfect.  Everything was Red, White and Blue, wrapped with ribbons!  Things to decorate for the 4th which I brought with me to my parents so my mom would have something fun today.  Plates and napkins to match and things to make SMORES!!!!  Yum YUM....I have serious PMS this week, so I just might eat the whole PACKAGE!!  The most amazing thing is she sent me some thing for my sons baseball scrapbooks.  I am about 18 years behind, so I have been collecting things to do this project for 2 years.  And EVERYTHING she sent for the scrapbooks was not a duplicate.  I havent even seen these things before.
 
 And then she added this incredible letter about her life lately on her ranch in the west, that just wanted me to get and my car and drive to her house!  She has lambs!!!!!
 
 Thank you Michele for just the perfect box of PERFECT!!
 
 Hugs
 Diana

                      | Oh Diana, I'm so glad you enjoyed the package, and hope you had a wonderful holiday!  It was so fun putting it all together, and I'm sorry I was so far behind in getting it sent off to you.  So glad to hear there weren't any duplicates on the scrapbooking supplies~ 
 Would just love to have you jump in the car and head this way~

                      | Hi Joyce, Sent you an email but wanted to respond here too! I received from Joyce (joyful melody) fruit dip. I can't wait to get to the store and buy some fresh fruit to try it. Joyce gave me some great ideas on other uses for it too! And I always love the homemade cards she sends me. I put them on my shelf with my pincushions. She is just great at designing them. thank you again for being so thoughtful.
 Does Canada have a fourth of July?
