                      | Nancy & Debbie... THANK YOU for the wonderful gifts you sent last week.  I just emailed both of you.  Please accept my apologies for the delay in posting and thanking you both, as last week I had an eye procedure that went terribly awry.  It was hard to see, let alone be at the computer very long.  I cannot thank you both for thinking of me and sharing of yourself and these treasures.  I promise to post again with pictures as soon as possible!  Love to you both!!! 
 Also... Today I received a LOVELY altered prayer card from a sister here in PA... It made my whole day!  I just love it!  BUT, dear sister, you did not sign the envelope or even leave a hint inside as to who you are!!!  Eghads!!!  I know you're from PA because of the postmark, but I cannot for the life of me figure out who you are!!  Eghads II!!!  So, please, please tell me who you are so I can thank you properly, dear sister!  You made my whole day, you have such a wonderful talent, and I will definitely treasure this piece forever!  I will definitely post pictures of your gift very soon, too!  Love to you, too!
 
 CJ - THANK YOU for hosting this wonderful swap!  I just love connecting with our sisters like this!!!
 
 Hugs and blessings to all!  Happy RAOK-ing!

                      | I love sending RAOK gifts to Farmgirls and I love receiving RAOK gifts as well! Thank you so much Tammy for my special RAOK package. I love the Peace Sign Earrings, will wear them to knitting group tomorrow, the Colorado Hankie as I did not have one, The Vintage 1966 Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook, I can not wait to look at it and try some of the recipes. Love the cute Tag with the five chicks singing, so sweet, and the cute card announcing my RAOK gifts.
 Thank you so  much for thinking of me, did I tell y'all I love Farmgirl Mail?
 
 Hugs,
 Debbie

                      | We just returned from our 13 day road trip last night.  Out to Indiana and back and the last couple of days were 12 hours of driving each so I was tired and exhausted and my hubby hadn't really cleaned or done laundry while I was gone.  So, I sat down to go through the mail and needless to say, I wasn't in the greatest of moods and there it was, the wonderful ROAK from Joan. 
 A lovely journal, pen, and some beautiful papers for me to play around with.  Thank you so much!  They are absolutely perfect for me.

                      | Miss Marlene, 
 Thank you so much for the care package.  You don't know how much it has meant to me after the week I've had.  I lost my son Tuesday evening and needless to say the past couple of days have been awful and there is so much to do!!!  My poor  DIL is in a fog and we have to really push her to get anything done and I don't want to nag or make it worse for her.
 
 The shelf unit with all of the cow goodies is incredible (especially the cow pie, hahahaha!).  The banadana is just great and I'm wanting to plant the seeds and will probably do so this weekend.  The little apple pad and the to-do pads are just great.  Am saving the tea for morning when I need the pick me up more.  I have my 2 daughters and their families coming in over the next couple of days and will definitely need a "cuppa".
 
 You have been a true angel and I am so appreciative!  I will get a picture and get posted as soon as I figure out how the heck to do that.
 
 Thank you, thank you, thank you.

                      | Dear Kay,  Prayers are being offered for you.  I too lost a child of 7 years due to an automobile accident.  It was in 1982. Time does heal the awful rawness, and thankfully sweet memories are left behind.  My heart goes out to you.  Smiles, Beth 
 You can never be to kind!

                      | I'm not on the ROAK list, but I received the most beautiful floral box filled with goodies from Joan today.  Sent you an e-mail, but thank you so much again for everything - embroidery kit tea cup, root beer hard candy (my favorite), Dove bar that I HAD to shared with DH, the darling "friend" sign which will be put up in my craft room in a spot of honor and that too, too cute mirror (going inside my purse) and of course your sweet note.  Really brightened up my day considering it has been raining and SNOWING for the past three days.  You are such a dear friend and I just love everything so much. Kay, my thoughts are with you and I'm so very sorry for your loss.  Know what you're going through.

 I am so excited...I just got my mail and there was a RAOK gift from Amy (farmmilkmama).  Sweet Amy was the very first farmgirl I swapped with.  We did the Halloween swap and it was so much fun!  Amy wrote me a lovely handwritten letter telling all about her life on her farm (I love handwritten letters) and included some sweet farm stickers for my crafting!  Thank you sooo much Amy...what a great surprise!
 
 Hugs, Tammy

                      | Kay, I had no idea that you lost your son, there are no words to tell you how very sorry I am. I am praying for you and all your family, I am just about in tears. Truly I think the Lord wanted me  to send the package, this was not planned it seemed like I was to send this to you. And It was on my mind till I did. You are very welcome Kay. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers to lift you up in the sorrowful time. Farmgirl Hugs Marlee

                      |  Tammy! I apologize that it took me so long to post. I received your package midweek but my computer has been acting up and wasn't able to post until now. I saw your return address on the envelope and knew there would be some wonderful goodies inside....and there was! The tags are beautiful! I love them all, but I especially love the one of the little girl by the beach. Such a sweet picture to begin with, but the way you cut the decorative edges and inked them really made it look lovely!  The hankie is beautiful! I have been collecting them for the past several months so I can make some curtains. The one you sent is going to make a beautiful addition! And of course I love the post card!I was reading the back and saw that it was post marked 1911! I love anything with a history. It makes me wonder if Miss Emma Metz ever received her visit from R.F.D?? Again, thank you! Your package was a nice little blessing to come home to. :)

                      | Emily, I am so glad you liked your package.  I know we share a love of vintage and shabby chic!  I would love to see photos of the handkerchief curtains when they are done...they sound adorable!  I love making tags and am glad to be able to send them to people who share my paper passion! 
 Hugs, Tammy
