Hi Farmgirls!
***************************************************
HELLO LADIES! I'M POSTING PARNTERS A DAY EARLY AS MY WEEKEND AHEAD IS COMPLETLY GONE ALREADY! SO... AT RANDOM PICK AND BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ODD NUMBER OF LADIES JOINING THIS SWAP ,WE ARE ALL SENDING TO SOMEONE OTHER THAN WHO WE WILL BE RECEIVING FROM!!

BECCA LOU SENDS TO DIRTDUCHESS
DIRTDUCHESS SENDS TO MAIL LADY
MAIL LADY SENDS TO MADELENA
MADELENA SENDS TO DREAMER42

HAVE FUN AND PLEASE POST PICTURES SO WE CAN ENJOY EACH OTHERS CREATIVITY AND INSPIRATION!!
*****************************************************************
We're not yet complete with exchanges of our first junk journal swap, but it was already so much fun, I thought I would post a second swap!
This time, I thought it would be fun to create a junk journal that is more scrap book style with thick pages and pockets (to make the pages thick, you may begin with card stock, cardboard, brown paper bags and layer from there). The journal would have approximately 10-12 pages which will create 20-24 pages front and back, roughly 4 x 6 in size. Not so much including blank pages to write, but more like pages to adhere pictures and momentos with pockets to tuck away special notes.
You may bind it with what ever medium you would like, twine, lace, thread, rings, etc... be sure to embellish the pages with pretties such as ribbons, buttons, stickers, lace, epherema, flowers, doilies, pockets, tags, and special papers. Make it as pretty as something you would love to receive!
I actually made one for myself this last week and thought I would post a couple pictures to show what I'm trying to describe, however, the pictures came out a little dark. But, you will notice each page is decorated and ready for photos and momentos to be pasted in. I've also added pockets and tags to allow for written notes and memories. There are only 6 thick pages in this one, with 5 pocket pages inserted in between each thick page to create 22 pages front and back.
Please sign up in email thread below if you're interested.
Sign ups through September 22nd.
Mail out by September 30th.

Love the creative freedom.. I'm more into shabby chic with my craft table looking Junkie after a creative session.... hmm. This should be a bit of a challenge to for or me to mix media and themes... guess it's time to step out of the box. LOL!!!

Hello farmgirl friends,
Please! Please! Please! Use your own creative juices, I only provided pictures of the one I created last week as an example, as sometimes it's difficult to explain thoughts, I always look forward to everyones ideas and I'm often most inspired by my farmgirl friends! So, please!!!! Be creative and share your inspiration so we can all be inspired!! (( hugs )) to all!!

Hi Ladies!! I posted partners a day early because my weekend ahead is gone already and it's only Thursday! Because we have an odd number of ladies joining this swap and at random pick, each lady is sending to someone OTHER than who they will be receiving from. Please look at the partner list carefully above! Have fun! Enjoy swapping! And, please post pictures so we can all share each others creativity and inspiration!! XOXO, April
