Gotcha mama!

Susie, this is kinda like Fruity and my Neck of the Woods swap, it is a fun one. I will have to see when we do it, seems like fall.

Sign me up please

Joy I Loved that swap & All the great things you shared with me , & Amanda Joy Sent a Jar of those pickles to me & Got me Hooked as I Hooked you & So many others around here :)
I Have one lady that gives me $20 for a Gal of them , she takes them up to her Brothers Bar & They are Korean But love the Pickles. I have to make more up her soon also Just about out :) so we can thank Joy for sharing with us :)

Sign me up I Have lotsa Pears falling from my tree so I need to go find some pear goodies :) & I have a couple other goodies I can share :) Say dose it have to be something to eat ,
or Can it be just Made in Michigan ???

This looks good, but I want to wait and see what the difference between My neck of woods swap. Sounds a lot like it.

Crystal, this one is homemade food or at least that is the way it was last year. Neck of the Woods is all about things where you live, whether you make them or not.

ya can't play without me or i will cry

Count me in

Welcome ladies! Good to see you :)

Crystal- Its all home made stuff, preserves ect. I think you played in the spring?

Leave it to me to be difficult, BUT can it include soaps, scrubs, etc. if they contain ingredients from our garden?

Yes ma'am, Joy sent some of her famous soap last time, I hear theres been some lucrative deals going on for some more of it lol

Ok,, I would like to join since it will start after I get back from my vacation. However if my restrictions are to difficult I will not be offended if it is not possible to be in this swap

I cannot have anything with high Carb counts. I have started the Atkins diet so food may be too difficult for anyone to send me.

That being said,, I can and do love tea, and hazelnut coffee. I can have sugar free chocolate if the carb count is pretty low. I have found lots of great recipes on Pinterest. I would really like to try some of the great ones I found there. I love hand made soaps, bath salts and scrubs with coconut, cinnamon, and / or citrus scents.

Will this be enough for me to join?? Or is to hard for someone to send to me?

Ok so just Bread mixes and jams Elfie?? lol Im kiddin!! There is lots of stuff with a low carb count! Lot of pickled items, dip/spice mixes, home made coffee mixes -sugar, mustards, if anyone does pressure canning the possibilities are endless!! Pesto, soups, sauces...sky is the limit! ;)

How bout I take you on for a partner? I can hook you up, sounds a lot like the S Beach diet..done that a few times lol. If someone else feels up for it, pm me ;) Otherwise I gotcha covered and no worries xx

Ok,, just glad to play!

Excited about my vacation! I will be driving right past Tracy / FloGro. not once but twice! Maybe we can meet up! You guys know how I like to meet up with new peeps! We leave October 5th! Driving to Dothan AL to stay with friends. Then to Honeymoon Island, then to Siesta Key, FL. For some reason I thought we were going to Sanibel Island,,, but alas nope. I am sad about that as Crystal will be there and I could have went to the beach with her,,, whaaaaa.

Hey Elfie! That would be awesome! We don't have a beach but we do have a nice restaurant overlooking the lake!

Tracy,, d mail me your phone # and we will make plans!!

OK. Let me in

O yeah! I don't care for anything hot, or as become the custom to say, spicy. Sometimes Wendy's chili is too hot for me, so as you see I do not like hot. Spicy to me means something other than hot (cinnamon or such) but that kind of spice I do like.

Those bean mixes for soups are good and mixes for cookies and brownies,etc.

Just send tons of Chocolate goodies to Crystal.. She does love chocolate. More than Bees like flowers, and Junkies like their drugs,,,lol. You can bribe my favorite sister of the heart with chocolate,, ohh and she likes coconut too!

Crystal ya know I love ya!!!

You got it, Elfie!

Heehee,, I bribe Crystal with Domino's lava cakes!! Darn,, I really like them too!! And now I cannot have them. Whaaaaa,,,

come bribe me! :)

Here ya go.

lol....

Joy I'd just be happy to milk your goats n make cheese!! Those look yummy!!!

I have bottle fed some of her baby goats, and they are so adorable!

I'd love to learn to make cheese, too! we have a local creamery, and I can get fresh milk and cheese from them! It is so good!

I love cheese!!!!!

sure go on LK..rub it in some more..how bout some salt to pack the wound w too?? LOL
