                      | CeeJay I'm working on your altered spoon :)  I keep changing what I want to do!  :)  Will post when I send it out to you, will likely be right at the deadline date - this is a new craft to me  :)

                      | Inquiring minds want to know.  That plastic stuff is called glossy accents.  It is made by a company called Ranger.I use it as glue, for accents, everything.  It seems steep for a bottle of glue, but mine has lasted over six months, and I'm trying to use it up on purpose.  It's the same stuff crafters add to fill bottle cap pendants. There is also this new thing I am going to try called Ice Resin.  It has the same effect, but is more solid, and sets as a dome.  It's what they use to make the altered scrabble tiles.  It's very expensive, if I find an alternative from Home Depot, I will post about it.

                      | Beth, Just wondering if you had any ideas on other spoon swaps for the future.  I really enjoyed making the spoon, and LOVED the spoon I received.  I am a nut for vintage Santas!
 I'm rambling, I do have a point.  I was just wondering all of this to see if I should start to look again for plated spoons :)  Also, knock on wood, because I would angel, but it would be oneida. lol
 
 PS you are an excellent swap hostess.

 Received my spoon. WoW!!!!! It is gorgeous, and I love it!
 I wish I had a camera to take a picture so I could post it
 for all the farmsisters to see. I already have it hanging up
 with my other spoon from a previous swap. I love the pink
 roses as my home is decorated in a French Country Shabby Chic,
 probably more shabby than anything. LOL!
 
 Thank you so much. I will treasure it forever. If you see Santa
 Claus over in your neck of the woods, remind him that your farmsister
 Buzzn Bee would like for him to bring her a camera. LOL! So many
 farmsisters send me beautiful treasures that I wish I could share
 for all to see.
 
 Sandra, you really have talent in decorating spoons. I hope you make
 more and share with your family and friends. They will just be in
 awe of their beauty.
 
 Hugzzzzzzzzzz and Blessingsssssssss,
 Deborah

 Your spoon is going out in the mail tomorrow.  It was so fun to make, I think I'm addicted. I've already created another one!  I hope you enjoy it.

                      | Hi Sherry, 
 I just collected the mail and your package was there!  The spoon that you altered is delightful and it is officially the first Christmas decoration to go up in my house this year!   Thank you for the spoon and for the other goodies...you are so thoughtful.  Meanwhile, the spoon I am making for you is sitting on my craft table, with the glue drying.  I should have it in the mail by the end of the week.
 Again, thank you!!
 Warmly,
 Pam

                      | Hi CJ!  My package is ready and waiting for when I return home to enjoy and display :) It looks amazing and I'm sure even better in person than by webcam!  Do you have a pic you can post for the girls to see since I'm away?  THANK YOU so much for all the goodies too - you are SO thoughtful always :) Hubby is going to mail yours out to you - I had left the date note on the package so he was waiting until that date but I told him to mail it asap so you should get it in a couple days.  THANK YOU again so much it is BEAUTIFUL!!!
