  4. Hey there friend! Thought I’d check out the website…it’s been a while (I’m embarassed to admit!)! You do such amazing things…I wish I was as talented as you! Hope you and the family are doing well. You must be just about ready to leave for your anniversary cruise…have a fabulous time!! We leave for Sweden in a week and a half…and getting very excited! I ran into Linda Hansen yesterday…she asked about you so I gave her your website, so you might be hearing from her. Hope to talk/see you soon! Take care! Marie

  8. Elaine:
    I received my Farm Girl charm necklace (ordered through Mary Jane’s Farms) yesterday. Thank you so much, it’s beautiful. I wore it to church this morning with my red sweater and it was a hit.
    I enjoyed looking at your charms on the website. I am definitely interested in your monogram charms – so will check your website for updates.
    Wish I lived closer – so I could go to your artist retreat. It sounds like a lot of fun, but kansas is a bit too far away.
    Thank you again – judy

Just seeing the package it’s self thrilled me.But when I opened it my mouth dropped and rapidly turned to a smile ! The necklace is so amazing. Much larger than I expected and so beautifully crafted. I love,love, love it. I am wearing it proudly displaying my farmgirl #2339 ! Wooo hooo! I so thank you for giving us the opportunity to purchase your lovely creations. I am new to the sisterhood but love it already. I have made many friends and making more eachday.
