Porch Swap

Several weeks ago I entered a porch swap on http://www.charsethman.blogspot.com/ and today I had the pleasure of meeting the lady that was picked as my swap partner, Terri. Turns out that we live in the same county just a short drive away from each other so we decided that we would love to meet and swap.
Terri is such a sweet person and her gifts were just awesome. She gave me two hanging planters for my porch and another pot of flowers that I am going to sit in a pot holder on my porch. I also got candles with a candle holder, a pot of herbs and the neatest tray that she painted to match my colors with decoupaged flowers on it. We had the greatest time getting to know each other and I just love the gifts that she gave me. Meeting my swap partner made it seem so much more personal. Thanks Terri for all the wonderful gifts and thanks Char for such a great swap. Now to share my swap day.

I got two of the purple pansy hanging baskets and they are so cute on my porch.

A Word of Thanks

First, I would like to say that I am computer illiterate and without the help of a few good friends, I would not have been able to have this blog.
I would like to thank Sage of Sagewood Farms for the many hours she spent teaching me how to open a blog.
I would also like to thank Brenda from Hattie's Workshop for the awesome banner that she made me.
I am grateful to Judy of Primfolks by Judy, Susan from Threadbare Primitives and Donna from Moonchild's Primitives for giving me permission to use the products that I have made from their patterns to display in my banner.
And lastly, I would like to thank all my friends from Prim Sister's Talk Radio Gathering Room who have had the patience to teach me what all the computer language means and for giving me ideas on primitive creating.
I have found that there are so many people in the primitive community that are willing to help beginners get started and for that I am very grateful. Thanks everone!
