                      | Hi Debbie :) Just read you are hoping to get a tracking number for your package to Canada. I can tell you, NO you can't. I know I tried when I mailed to Judy before ;) You'll have to fill out a custom form, under 5 #'s, it will be the small white form, over it will be the larger form. Remember to put it is a gift, in the box indicated. I have filled many of these forms, with my care packages to the soldiers & they are pretty cut & dry ;)

                      | Anne, came home from work today so tired, and I got your package today! REALLY CHEERED ME UP!!! I love, love it!! You had it packed so cute, I hated to take it out! The mirror is so cute and the Tiny Fortune cookie! I love it all! Thank you so much!! I will take it to work tomorrow to show it off! It will be another Halloween treasure that I will pack and carefully Un-Pack each year!The picture does not do justice  to the detail.  I love the chocolate bar!  Saving it for a treat! Happy Halloween!

                      | oh my...farmgirls never cease to amaze me!! 
 last year i participated in the fall swap of the minis and was teased by this year's swap--glad that i didn't opt in only because i am not really feeling my energy back after chemo and radiation...glad meaning i would not have done justice to the swap and i didn't want to let a sister down!
 
 i have to share! this week, i came home to a wonderful surprise from sweetea sherry! she didn't want me left out of the swap and sent me a wonderful matchbox of goodies! i absolutely love that the clock hands move and i have set it to the witching hour! i wish i had a picture and will try to get one on here this weekend if i can...the goodies inside are awesome and i love the hankie!!! all will be put to wonderful use!
 
 today, i just want to say thank you and that i feel so blessed by my farmgirl sisters!!!!

                      | Shanda - I didn't forget about posting pics of your AWESOME matchbox for everyone to see... I am having a heck of a time getting them from my camera on my new computer!  A friend is coming by sometime this weekend to help me figure it out, so I promise to get some posted over the weekend!  Thank you for your patience!  I'll also be mailing out your matchbox on Monday... Hope you like it!  Hugs - Nini

 Don't worry about a tracking number I'll let you know when your creation arrives! Sometimes it takes a little while longer than the PO says but everything finds me! LOL

                      | Hi Portia, Thanks for the very cute fall box! Encluded was socks, fall tissues, ribbons, orange shopping bag, some cute magnets
 and a couple of postcards about Binghamton and New York and candy! The paper on the bosx is beautiful fall leaves and
 polka dots! Thanks again. The fall leaves are mixing with the falling snow here today!

                      | Hi girls!  Here's the beautiful box Shanda made for lucky farmgirl me!  I just LOVE it!!! 
 
  
  
 Thank you SO much, Shanda!  I still can't believe this was your first one!  I will treasure it for many, many years to come!  BEAUTIFUL!!!  The candy is already gone... YUM!  The rings are ready to adorn some Halloween cupcakes as toppers... And I absolutely will use this wonderful little sewing kit - as will my hubby, the TRUE sew-er in our family!  I really, really love the buttons, too - SO neat!  You ROCK farmgirl!  You simply ROCK!
 
 Hugs -
