                      | Everyone is sending such great packages!  I love looking at the pictures and/or hearing what was received.  I wish I could do it again!  I have more ideas now!  I would love to have a 'summer tea party' also!  Anyone else up for that?  A nice glass of mint iced tea?  Or a lovely cup of warm mint tea?  We have a few months to think up ideas - say sometime in late June, early July, say a 4th of July party?  Just a thought!!  Keep all those great pictures coming.  I'm glad you enjoyed your package, Cheryl.  Loved my package too!  Blessings to all.  VeraEllen Sisterhood #1477

                      | Sherry , I am glad you  like the goodies, but I never even thought of napkins and spoon. Sometimes I just get so excited everything goes over my head. The cookies are my favorite and they are great w/ tea.  This swap was really fun.Enjoy it Sherry and thank you for being my partner. Hugs Marlee |

                      | I have to say that Karla made me feel like a Queen!  I have my own mini tea party kit to use at my next tea party.  She thought of everything! 
 Karla you are a wonderful farm girl sister!!!  I love you and your thoughtfulness!!!  Big Farm Girl Hugs to you!!!!
   
 She sent me a variety of teas, scone mix, biscotti, a beautiful purple tea cup and plate set (I love purple) How she knew I love butterflies I don't know, but she included a gorgeous round butterfly table center piece with different color butterflies around the edges, tea honey (yum) a pretty white napkin, candle in a silver holder and a darling little book: "Returning Home" by Tracy Porter
 
 Here is one of the quotes:"Perfecting the Art of Puttering"-(fits me to a tee)
 "It's about everything involved with the creative process.  Fiddling until it feels right.  Walking away.  coming back, Fiddling again.  It's about letting thoughts and inspirations enter your mind freely.  It's about putting things together that you thought didn't make sense...yin & yang.  It's about finding things from past and present, mixing them up and seeing how magical creating is!"

                      | OMG! That is one sweet package you received Marjean!  Can I have Karla as my partner next time? ;o) Well, I just want to pop in and say that I am a tad late in sending my package out.  I will send it on Monday.  It's been a busy week at the Shoppe and with my receiving the snail mail info late from my partner .... it will go out on Monday.  I have not received my package yet so I'm guessing that Ronee must also be running late. Keep well everyone an warm if you are in the Northeast!

                      | I feel like a Princess!  Emily and Melanie thank you so much for all the lovely gifts you sent me.  You are such special farm girls! 
 I will put the stationary and tablet to good use.  Mom and I will use the teas and jam at our next tea party!
 
 I have a few more things to add and then it will go in the mail this week.  We are hunting up one more thing for Melanie's little gift.  Mom is such a good hider of special things it takes us a while to track down where she put them! lol
 
 Big Farm Girl Hugs,
 Kayla

                      | Wow I did not realize so many people sent so much more than the tea cup. I feel like a bad partner now! I will make it up next time I am in a swap like this one!

                      | Shelly, Do not feel like a bad partner. I too felt like I mis-understood the gist of the swap when I started viewing the pictures of the Really Generous Tea Kits.  Then I came to my senses.  I gave from my heart.  I spent time thinking about what I was giving and who I was giving it to. I know I was not trying to out do anyone.  This was not a contest.  It was a swap. Hopefully each person has learned something new about the person they swapped with and a new friendship has begun.  That is the purpose of an old-fashion swap.  To form connections.  Don't try and make it up next time. Be your self--give from your heart.  That way your partner gets to know YOU.  Who knows-- maybe we will partners next time.
