 HI GIRLS!!!
 
 ARE YOU READY?????  :)
 
 Partners are listed below! YAY!
 
 1)  Please contact your partner via email to exchange contact information.   It was recently brought to my attention that it might be better for partners to introduce themselves to each other via email and exchange contact information prior to the swap.  This will help ensure that everyone is on the same page and still able to participate.
 
 2) Please confirm when you and your partner have contacted each other.
 
 3) If you are unable to reach your partner for any reason, please contact me and I will take over and swap with you - okay?   This way, nobody will be left out!  :)  <I do have everyone's contact information here on file, though, just in case anyone misplaces their partner's address.>
 
 4)  Spring Cleaning Packages should be mailed to your swap partner by Monday, April 25th.  If for any reason you experience a delay or are unable to participate as you had hoped, please just let your partner and I know.  I will gladly step in for you!  I understand that things can happen - I just want to be sure that nobody is left out in the cold, okay?  :)  I don't bite - don't worry! :)
 
 5)  Please be sure to post here when you receive your package from your swap partner!!!  Pictures would be REALLY great, too!  Half the fun of this swap is seeing all the surprises we share with each other!!!  I can't wait to hear all about the fun we're all having!!!  :)
 
 Happy Spring Cleaning, My Friends!!!  This is going to be SO much fun!!!  'Looking forward to everyone's posts!
 
 Hugs -

 Hi Girls!
 
 Thanks to all who have signed up for our swap!

 It's time for spring cleaning, girls!
 
 Ohhhhh, c'mon - don't gasp like that!
 
 Let's make it fun this year instead with a Spring Cleaning Swap!
 
 Here's what you do:
 
 Go through your closets and drawers in every room of the house.  I'm sure you'll find lots of nice, new things that you've either purchased or have received as gifts that you've just never used, but they're way too good to throw away. We're talking things like purses, wallets, scarves, hats, gloves, books and cookbooks, stationery, candles, tools, gadgets, beauty products, jewelry, craft items - pretty or practical - you get the idea!  Anything goes, just be sure that these are nice, new items.  There's no set price limit with this swap because you're doing spring cleaning - these are just really great items that you just know you're never going to use, so it's time they go!
 
 Choose three different items from your clean sweep for your swap sister. No theme here - just three really nice, new items that you think another farmgirl sister would enjoy.  Remember you want to make your swap sister smile!  Just let your farmgirl heart be your guide! :)
 
 When you pack up your swap sister's box, include a note with a little history about the items your sending - explain what you were thinking when you purchased each item or who gave it to you and on what occasion, why you never got around to using it, and why you think you're swap sister might really enjoy it, even though you can't!  :)  I think our stories behind each item will be very interesting - they might just end up being treasures in themselves!
 
 To sign-up, please be sure to email me with your name, your screenname, your address and your email address.
 
 You may select to send to more than one partner if you like - just let me know!  :)
 
 Sign-ups will end Sunday, April 10th.
 
 I will email everyone with your swap partner information by Wednesday April 13th.
 
 Spring Cleaning Packages should be mailed to your swap sister by Monday, April 25th.
 
 Let's have fun and start Spring Cleaning!
 
 Hugs -
 
 Nini
 
 P. S.: CANADIAN FARMGIRLS:  I would be happy to organize a special, separate swap list especially for all our Canadian sisters! If you are a Canadian farmgirl who is interested in participating, please email me and hopefully we'll have other interested Canadian farmgirls to partner with you! :)

                      | Yay!  So glad to have you on board, Bren & Sandra!  This really does sound like fun, huh? 
 Sandra - you're absolutely right!  I started looking through my stuff today, myself - I've got a lot of neat things to choose from!!!
 
 As of right now, I have Elaine's, Carole's & Bren's addresses...  I still need them from Cheryl, Deborah and Sandra, okay?
 
 For those of you who are new, all you have to do is click on my screen name to the left of this box, and at the next screen that comes up, you'll be able to send me an email with your information.  :)
 
 I hope we inspire even more farmgirls to join us!  :)
 
 Hugs -

 I also have Tara (Sweet_Tea), Debbie (Blessed_in_Colorado), and Madeline (fille de ferme)!  Yay!
 
 SO so glad you're all joining in!  What a fun swap this is going to be!  I can't wait to see what we all send each other!  ;)

I'm with you - I've got some stuff here that I honestly can't even remember whether I bought them or they were gifts! LOL!  Oh well, it's the "new" thought that counts, right?!  ') 
 I also have you down, Cheryl (valleygal)!  Won't this be such fun?!  'Glad to have you on board!  :)
