Me too. please :) Marcia

Sign ups are officially closed!

We have 56 people playing! It won't take me long to draw names but it may take a while to get all the e-mails out to everyone. I'll try to let everyone know their trader ASAP :)

Names are out! Everyone should have got their name...

If you didn't please let me know.

Got it....thanks again for organizing this,
Brigitte

to all that are taking part in this trade, it would really be helpful to know what you like and what zone you are in. Please post in the secret trade wish list thread.
Thanks

I have to second Jan's request for people to post their wish list, likes & dislikes. If your trader doesn't know you... they have no idea what you'll like. So please... post some sort of wish list.

I also want to point out the trader primer for newbies that aren't experienced in mailing plants. http://davesgarden.com/trading_primer/4/ I think most questions about packing and mailing can be answered there. If you have other questions feel free to post them here or e-mail me.

Please remember this is for 3 plants. If you want to send more that's fine... but it's not required and it's not expected. If you try to make your box something that you'd like to receive ... I'm sure it will make your trader happy too.

Also remember Monday is a holiday and the post office will be closed.

I just got back from the PO, to send out my box to my secret trader. Phew, I'm tired. I've been out in the garden all morning digging up plants. Maybe they will get it by next Tues. or Wed.

Sue, you might want to start a new thread for people to post when they receive their trade.

Donna

sent mine out today as well i hope they enjoy them and like them all thanks somuch for doing this i love a "surprise" package
moretz

i'm digging my plants sunday evening, putting them soaking to get a nice drink of water before their trip, boxing them up late monday, and they're going in the mail tuesday morning
should get to my trader around thursday or friday
this is fun! :)

sent mine yesterday.

Will be digging on Monday and shipping on Tuesday......

Could EVERYONE make sure there 'WISH LIST IS POSTED'???
It would really be a big help for your trader to know your like's and dislikes...Wouldnt you hate to send out a box and have the person NOT like anything..... Soooooo....IF you havent posted your 'WISH LIST' PLEASE DO SO ASAP!!!!

To me trying to send your secret trader something they want is a 'BIG' part of the fun.....


OK...i've begged enuff ....Have a wondrful week-end

Thx, Dixiechick

That's a ditto for me kitty.

Mine went out today, 2nd day priority with confirmation. It should be there on Thursday. I hope everything arrives well and that the recipient is pleased. She's due north.
