Parlez vous Francais?

I was so excited to hear my kiddos exclaim that, "Mom, we got a package!" My wonderful swap partner, Dawn R., sent me this wonderful box of goodies. So come wander the countryside of France with me, as I take my Fantasy, Flirty vacation.


Thanks Dawn!!! I've already found a good use for my red, white and blue bag. Oh, and my daughter has been eying those stamps.

done, packed and mailed.......

I finished my partner's apron Wednesday and got it shipped out today. This is just a wee little hint.........

I got my apron!

I was so excited to find I had a package to pick up at the post office on Tuesday. It was filled with wonderful goodies from my swap partner. Here they are:In my questionnaire I said I'd love to spend my vacation visiting among the Amish. I love their simple, self-sustaining lifestyle. My swap partner decided to make the Gathering Apron, which we love using at our house, because it reminded her of the long Amish aprons. We use these for collecting our chickens' eggs and gathering veggies from the garden. My partner chose material based on my love of chocolate (see my blog name) thus combining both themes, chocolate and Amish. She also sent a wonderful Amish cookbook, some homemade soap bits, beeswax candles, a market tote bag, and some locally (to her) made chocolate that is delicious.

Thank you, D!!

P.S. I have all the material and the pattern for my swap assignment. I just need to finish sewing it! The colors are yellow with some blue accents and hopefully will remind my partner of Kansas. :)

Oh yeah, I'm Happy!

I received an Email today that my partner received her apron package and she was very happy. BTW, lets all wish Gramma Trish a very happy 28th anniversary! I'm so excited!
