Seeds and one gift here as well.

Susan, hope everything goes well and you are home and recovering quickly! Keeping you in my thoughts/prayers:)

Goldthwaite, TX(Zone 8a)

I can't find even one gift that relates in any way to St. Patrick's Day. Nothing but Valentines where I am, little bitty town in the middle of Texas. I'm still hoping and looking.

Shenandoah Valley, VA

Patrob, try just looking for something garden related that has some green on it. I had the same problem. I don't think anybody cares about whether it's St. Pats stuff or not, do we?

oh man I missed this one.....have fun ladies.

Shenandoah Valley, VA

Aw, come on, Connie, can't we squeeze in one more?

La Salle, MI(Zone 5b)

Yes we can squeeze 2 more in if sheran and pamsue want to join :o)


I d-mailed both and told them they can join, ;o)
Good nite ladies I am going to bed.

Just need some clarification about the envie; It's my understanding, Connie, that you should be able to re-use the same envie that the seeds were mailed to you. I wasn't planning to enclose an additional bubbler, just a return label, unless you feel it's necessary. Correct? (It's late, that may be why I'm so confused)

Quoting:
Please make sure the BE you send is going to be big enough for the seeds you will be receiving back...

And PLEASE don't put your stamps on the BE incase I have to send you a bigger one :o)

Deb, some like to send a different envelope inside with their seeds.. but the original one you send your seeds in is fine...

okay ppl got a dmail from Illiquin (Suzy) and she wants in too. So I told her okay, I still haven't heard back from sheran or pamsue.. I am going to go a head and add them to the list at the top... If they don't want in, then I will remove them...

so in addition to the 20 pks you will need to add 3 extra pks of seeds :o)

Windy since you sent yours out already, don't worry I got you covered :o)

Connie

Belleville, IL(Zone 6b)

I am fine with twenty packs. I really don't want anymore than twenty in return also. The amount of postage I sent is to cover the amount to send back. So let's just leave mine at twenty. It was pretty hard to stuff the twenty packs into any size envelope with the decorations and all on them.
I also only want one gift in return.

Greenville, IN(Zone 6a)

Now my packet of 20 trinkets aren’t going to be enough! lol I’m going to pick another packet up and Connie you can use the extra for other people.

La Salle, MI(Zone 5b)

:o) Thanks Lea,

La Salle, MI(Zone 5b)

Pamsue dmailed and passed, so its only Illiquin so far, haven't heard from sheran yet..

La Salle, MI(Zone 5b)

okay, I can't do any more edits til tomorrow grrrrr
They really really need to change that... It's stupid

Got an d-mai from sheran and she is passing, so the only extra person is Illiquin... so we only need 21 seed packs :o)
Will remove sheran off the list tomorrow when I am allowed to edit again

Connie

Dublin, TX(Zone 8a)

I've yet to find even one St. Paddy gift around here! Still nothing at my local stores. All Valentines Day, hopefully after VD, they will at least put out a few SP Day goodies!

Susan ~ my thoughts and prayers are with you. I myself have had three major spinal surgeries in a 2 year time period, so trust me........I know exactly how you feel about "crawl into a space and not come out". I've been there many times! Please keep us informed on how your surgery goes.

So much for the warmer weather ladies, I think I jinxed myself. Yesterday and today are both 45-48, cold, windy, cloudy and nasty! UGH. I wish our weather would make up its mind one way or the other. I have WS'd everything that I have to sow and I'm completely caught up around the house..........very impatiently waiting to get back outside and work! :)
Have a terrific Friday everyone!
Belinda :-)

La Salle, MI(Zone 5b)

Good evening all...

Went to craft 2000 today and got a gift :o) and it fits the occassion,
But I couldn't believe what met my eyes, They are already putting
out EASTER stuff.... I couldn't believe it... Already!!!

Valentines isn't here and gone yet...

Well I am off to bed... Can hardly keep my eyes open...

So talk to you all tomorrow....

Hey how is our Ireland lady doing ??? Willowandspike are you around :o)

Connie

La Salle, MI(Zone 5b)

I am sorry I haven't been around, we were having a little trouble that needed our immediate attention on the coop and then I got some bad news about my dad, (not his health so to speak) but its just been a very hard and LONG LONG DAY...

I am going to call it a night, and hope and pray Sunday is a brighter and better Day...

good night ladies.

Connie

Jerome, MI(Zone 5b)

Aw.....sending good vibs to you...have a good rest...better tomorrow...I am sure..

smiles...Diana

La Salle, MI(Zone 5b)

Thanks Diana, Sunday was a better better day on the home front here...

Today I have a headache brewing, I spent the day with my dad, taking him around so he could pay bills and get some prices on trucks and a few grochries. Were in for 6 to 10 inches of snow tomorrow and I am suppose to go over there again, but may have to wait until Wednesday now...

Just to let you all know a little bit about what is going on here with my dad... I am not going to go into details, but he needs prayers, he is being sewed wrongfully, and I mean wrongfully... The Judge is croaked.... And the other person and his lawyer LIED big time. Well anyway, Cops came into my dads home on Wednesday AM, took his motor home and his only CAR along with some old coins of his, and also the ones that were my moms, that would have come to me... (moms that is) I am not sure what all they took because the cops didn't give him a receipt for any of it...They are going to be auctioning these things off, when I have no idea... but if that doesn't cover the cost of what they want, they will take his home... and put him out on the street.... (he had went to his laywers to settle, and they totally ignored the offer and with no warning entered his home and took all that stuff and more...he has to pay $70/75 aday for the storage bill untill they auction those items off...
I didn't find any of this out until Saturday... He didn't even call me... I am really upset over it... I couldn't believe they didn't give him a receipt for the things they took.... And its mostly my daughters fault...
So I am not doing to good mind wise right now... My dad is paying for something that my daughter should be paying for. It is just a mess... and this all started just before my mom died in Nov of 05...

I tell you when it rains it poors.... Dads health isn't good so be praying for him...

thanks, Connie

Cordele, GA(Zone 8a)

Connie, keep the faith. Lots of people are praying for you and your family and especially your dad. Your website says it all. Knock and the door will open.

Thank God the clematis part of the coop is done... That was a chore and a half... But it was fun... But not enough for me to do one rofl... Well I am going to get off of here and lay down and try to get rid of this headache...

You all have a good night / day...

Connie

La Salle, MI(Zone 5b)

Before I go, Do you all want me to start another thread just to post extras on????
It might be a little easier for all to keep track on a different thread, up to you all :o)

I will check this out tomorrow after I get back from dads...

I am going to try to go thru all my seeds this week end so I can list mine...

Nite, Connie

Austell, GA(Zone 7a)

Brenda

Goldthwaite, TX(Zone 8a)

Another thread for extras would be great!

La Salle, MI(Zone 5b)

Okay, here is the link to the new thread Called - St. Patrick's Day Seed Swap - Extra http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/692661/

This is where the sexta seed you have should be listed...

Well I am fixing to take off to my dads before the BIG snow hits here, it wasn't suppose to start til this afternoon but it is snowing like all get up out there now. already got an inch on my front deck...

Connie

Ballintleva, Ireland

hi everyone,
Sorry i haven't been in touch, (been over to the UK - Car shopping as they are so much cheaper there!)
Connie, so sorry to hear of your troubles. Keep the faith - all things turn out ok in the end (its just sometimes the ends not in sight just yet!) Will be thinking of you and sending hugs to your Dad!

All is well over this side of the world - had a touch of frost but essentially...Ireland is still raining!

Good news is that I now have glass in my new greenhouse...so will have a ball planting up new seeds - its 8'x18' Whoopee...so much space! (now...how can I persuede my beautiful partner that he really needs to spend the weekend making staging for me !)

Have done my seed packs...and went shopping for the present - nearest town is Westport and they have soooo many "Irish" themed little objects as it's a tourist town....was thinking of you all having to wait!

Will try to get an "extras" list posted soon
Keep well everyone!
Sue

Pic of the greenhouse last week....glassless

Connie, I'm so sorry you and your father are having to deal with this mess. Perhaps it's time to find another lawyer for him?

It's been snowing here all morning. They were calling for a mix of sleet and snow, but so far just snow.

Sue, that's a really nice greenhouse!

La Salle, MI(Zone 5b)

Well got up this morning, got the extra thread up so if you want to add your extras there, go for it link is up a couple posts...

Went to dads this morning, took him up to the car dealers and he leased him a truck :o) So now he has WHEELS lol But boy is it ever snowing... Got home right around 4pm and didn't think I was going to make onto my road, its really blowed over bad... But I made it :o)
And I am not getting back out in this mess...

Connie

Indianapolis, IN(Zone 5b)

Hi Connie,

So sorry to hear about your dad.

I wondered as there are 22 members (ahem! Number 22 is pretty important LOL!) to the swap if we aren't supposd to send 21 packs. If so, you might edit/rewrite the first post in the thread.

Willow&Spike -- LOVELY greenhouse.....green with envy here!
Suzy

La Salle, MI(Zone 5b)

Suzy, you just need to send 21 pks.

The way it works is, Look at the list and remove your own name,
that leaves 21 ppl you are sending seeds to. Each person is
sending 21 pks, to all the other ppl in the swap.
So in turn, each person will receive 21 packs from everybody else...

If we each made up 22 pks, you would end up getting one of your
own back, and to me, that just don't make since. ;-}

I have gone thru the seeds that I have winter sowed and I do have a few left that I will be posting later, on the extra thread... I still need to go thru some other ones, gonna do that today... It is sooo cold here, was below zero last night... Got lots of snow now lol... It is pretty to look out and see all that white... But my bones can't take this cold, makes it really hard on the joints.... so I am staying in and staying warm...

I will be around on and off today, didn't get a thing done here in the house yesterday... Got lots of work to catch up on...

Thank you all for your prayers and kind words, Connie


La Salle, MI(Zone 5b)

Well all are of you ready for this???

I just found out WHY I have been getting so sick for the past 9 months... And no I am not pregnant lol..

Katrun
yes that is correct

La Salle, MI(Zone 5b)

Oh my my my, katrun, you don't need 21 seperate gifts of a $1.00 each... When I first posted it, I meant to buy like a multi pack of something that would have 20 items in it.. like pencils and what not... or to make 20 small little gifts..

But then I found out others were only sending one gift each, If it isn't to much trouble for you to return them and just pick one to send, that would be great...

I am truely sorry for the mix up on the gifts.. I know there are a few that have made little gifts for each person and thats okay... I did too. but I would have anyway =)

Cord, glad you caught that, you can also return it to get a refund. I just threw mine away... That site also said that the great value PB from WalMarts is also infected... So you all be really careful... It is not fun to have food poisoning... and it hit me fast because I eat PB just about every day or other day. :(

Oh well no more PB for me for a very very long time.... lol

oh Katrun, yes you can send the extras to me, I will just divide them between everybody....

I hope that covers everything :o) OH, The rest of you, if you will you can start posting your extras on the other thread here - http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/692661/ its gonna be a few days b4 I get to post mine, but please if you have them go a head and post them...

Connie

Cordele, GA(Zone 8a)

Connie, I had to go ahead and mail my St Patty envelop to you. Things are kind of crazy around my house right now.
I haven't had any extra time to organize any extras, though. Maybe I can do that next go'round.
