Hi Leslie,
I'm SO happy you got the box. I was concerned that they were not going to make it in one piece. Can't wait to see the entire collection.

Leslie,
I am mailing the ornaments today.

As a reminder ladies-- today is the deadline for postmarking your packages. Those who have not mailed them should do so!
Thanks.

I received Kay's and Denise's packages this morning. All ornaments intact!
I have sorted and packed up everyone's boxes to be shipped out tomorrow (or Monday at the latest). Did my best to keep the glass ones safe for you all, and to make sure no one receives their own back. If you do get one of your own, you could email me a photo of the ones you got, and I can try to figure out which one you missed. But I'm pretty sure we all got the right ones. :)
Kay, I assume the extras in your box were for "insurance" against broken ones. I will go ahead and send them back with your swap.
So keep your eyes on the mail! Here they come! :D

Hello to al. I was so excited to receive my package of ornaments today. They were all lovely and I cannot wait to hang them this season. Such neat and fun ideas. I would love to know who made each one though so I could remember each lovely and creative person when I look at them. If it would be possible to know? If not I will cherish them anyway from my farm girl friends.. I wasn't sure whether or not you wanted us to post pictures. I didn't want to spoil anyone's surprise and I wasnt sure if each person s ornament were the sameor different so do let us know Leslie if you would like us to post pictures and if you want us to do so soon or wait a bit. Thank you for hosting this swap it was a treat. Blessings to you all and your families.

I got my package and oh, boy! Such talented farmgirl sisters! I am in awe. I did not think about labeling the ones I did - they are the ones with swirled paint. I hope they are okay. I feel so inadequate. I didn't care if I got the extras back, but thanks you. We are not doing a whole lot of decorating for Christmas because we will be leaving on December 15 to spend Christmas with our daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren in Stuttgart, Germany (they've recently been moved from Heidelberg) but I will be hanging up a few things and these gorgeous ornaments will have a place of honor. Thanks so much, ladies.

I do not have objections to posting pictures, but if those who haven't received theirs yet don't want to spoil the surprise, you should warn them somehow that photos are forthcoming. :)
I actually ended up doing two sets, the crochet ones, and the paper-filled snowmen. We had one girl drop out, and rather than send everyone back one of their own, I thought I would just swap for two sets.

Oh happy day! I got my box today. I love all the ornaments and can't wait to post pictures but I will wait until everyone gets their box. Mine is the little ones with the ribbon.

At this point, everyone's gotten them. Levisgrammy is my mom, and she told me today that hers arrived. Feel free to post pics now. :)

Oh my, I have not been on the forum in so long. My apologies ladies. I received my ornaments and they are awesome! Looking forward to hanging them on my kitchen tree with all my little farmgirl ornaments from the past.
Thanks to all who made these very special ornaments!

But only--how did you take it?
