lol! I just mailed mine out, so mine recipient is still waiting as well. It's not Christmas yet! :-)
Hey, got mine LONG time ago but just found this thread!
Figured out who mine was too :)))

Thank You Mrs. Claus!
I have to put these into a different little envelope. I just received mine today because the envelope got chewed up by a postage machine in Valhalla, NY. They put the opened and damaged envelope (the seed envelope was torn as well) into one of those "I'm sorry, love the postman" envelopes. I laughed when I saw the envelope. It happens!
Thanks for the seeds! That was awfully nice of you to do that for everyone!

Karrie - my post office in Valhalla just got one of the NEW postage cancelling machines. Now the ENTIRE envelope goes through the machine, not just the top of it. They actually returned the envelope to me and when I went in to ask them about it, they showed me how the new machine works - it's really pretty cool. Works like the recycling machines for bottles and cans. They just set the edge of the envelope onto the machine and it sucks it through. Supposedly it triples the production...must be why postage is going up again - YIKES! Anyway, now ANY envelope that has a bump in it will jam, so they will be charging a 12 cent special handling charge to any envelope that can't go through the machine. It's kind of neat because they have a little prototype right at the counter and you can check your envy to see if it will flow through ok!
Needless to say, I will forego using envelopes any more and go with the small bubble mailers!
I hope your seeds weren't damaged!
Not good news for us seed traders.lol.jody
Oh, hey, the way I see it, it saves us from ourselves - now it's the same price whether you use bubble paper in an envelope or a bubble mailer! And this way we KNOW the seeds are safe!
True.
I got mine thanks for the seeds, and the snownman.
The seeds were fine! I see my little pal hasn't received theirs yet..... should happen early week. I would like to know that it's arrived, whenever that happens.
This has been fun! :-)
Just peeking in, body bags!!! I had a jolly laugh over that one!

Nothing came here for me yet.
I sent mine out a very long time ago!
Boo Hoo, I can't even go out to the garden and eat some worms; The ground is tooo frozen!
Maybe I'll try to leave a note in the postal box, out on my road.
I'm leaving on the 7:30 AM greyhound bus to visit my mother.

Tazzy - so glad to hear you got it! So relieved! Santa has some mailmen to fire this year!
Have a Merry Merry!
Karrie
LBMOORE,
thank you SO much for your lovely package! I am so thrilled with everything!
You made my day and I cannot tell you how excited I am with your seed selection! All the pansy seeds I could ever wish for. I have been wanting those. I thank you sincerely.
Look everyone at what my wonderful secret santa blessed me with today:
Whew......what a relief you finally recvd it......I was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to show up.
Enjoy!
I do think the mail service has been especially slow this season!
Robin - I will check into your Secret Santa and see what's up!
Hope everyone is healthy and happy and looking forward to a wonderful new year.
Can you believe it's already the 23rd???
Robin - A little elf told me that your package is way overdue - be on the lookout for a green bubble envelope... We're thinking it's coming via Turtle Express!
oh oh, I got my package and Holy Cow! thank you thank you Secret Santa! wow! what fun fun seeds! thank you thank you thank you!
~RedMolly
oh, I found you catlady!!! Thank you so much for the package, you really outdid yourself! I'm so excited about all these seeds!!!
And BTW, CONGRATS TO THE GILMER BUCKEYES!!!!
State champions, WOW! (I was at the game in one of the ambulances--had to root for Jasper as we had a friend's son playing) What a great game!
Just call me the Cosmo Queen!!! I will be the queen of the cosmos this summer....
Opened my package Christmas morning, I have almost every kind of Cosmos there are!
Thank you so much Secret Santa!!!!
Sequee - Thank you so much for doing this, I was a lot of fun!
Your the best.
The only seeds you were looking for that I had, were, COSMOS! I thought the12 packs would get you started! If I run into any other varieties, I will surely send them your way! Enjoy!, Doris
I didn't even know there were that many kinds!!! I do look forward to seeing THAT garden! WOW!
Just wanted to say today I received a gorgeous card from my secret santa saying mine is on it's way, it was soo cute and I had totally forgotten about the Secret Santa swap, we lost our power on the 22nd due to a rather nasty ice storm, and it was finally restored today!!!!!! So my mind was certainly elsewhere this past week!!!! Had to check in here though and say to my "SECRET SANTA" that the card was a delight! It brightened my day (because at the time my mail got here we still hadn't any power) BUT now we do and I am tickled!
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and here's to another great year ahead for all of us at DG!!!!
~Laurrie
Here was our "winter wonderland"
Laurrie! That's a beautiful picture - - but I think I'll let you keep the snow up there! Sorry to hear about being out of power .. . I know the feeling, but at least when we were out it was summer time and we just had to deal with the heat - not freezing cold!
Hope you got all you're MG seeds before the freezes!
Take care, Happy New Year!
Onalee
" Happy New Year" To all and love, also some giggles threw in for good measure >
Thanks Onalee, wanted to say my daughter "stole" your xmas card, she simply adored the silver and blue theme!!!
If I could have sent this ice storm elsewhere I think at the time I would have, but then now after the fact, I am glad it hit just where it did, because we are a rural area with alot of Amish, and if anyone could have dealt with it, we (and they) could have without too much of a hassle LOL, and when our power was restored, I found out about Tsunumi (sp) and felt we had been blessed with only the ice storm here!!!
Happy New Year to all you wonderful DGers!!
~Laurrie
My elf mailman still hasn't brought me my goodies :(
FLOOD ZONE LOOK OUT, we are hammered now with rain, which is a good thing, here is our back yard now LOL, this was the pig pen, you can see the roof is covered now with flood water, what fun!! At least it wasn't the ice again and we still have power!
Laurrie, man, you're getting it all, aren't you!! Didn't you have a bad flood last year, too?
Well, at least it's not in the spring and flooding all your beautiful flowers!
good luck!
Onalee
Laurrie (OhioBreezy) had to evacuate due to flooding & asked me to post for anyone that is trying to contact her. I was not sure where to post so I put it in the seed trading forum. Hopefully anyone trying to reach her will find it.

Oh man, Laurrie is really having a tough year, so far! I hope it improves. Thanks Pudgymudpies for the info!
Onalee
Thank you to my secret santa, for your patience and your thoughtfulness. I forgot to post my thank you when I recieved the package but it was recieved and I am delighted. Thanks for the bright spot in my day.
