Summerkid,
Yes, I have learned from some of the best Hosts around that it's best to stick to business when doing something like this - keep the chat sessions on another forum. Not that I don't like the fun comments but I think your discussions, like in your co-op, became a bit to much for those who are interested in doing the co-op or in this case, secret trade.
To be ORGANIZED, TIMELY, and GET THE ORDERS RIGHT you need to be "one o' them prickly hostesses" .
I assume from the other comments given me on this and other threads that they feel I'm doing a good job.
No need for rebutal here - this is fun and glad everyone seems to be enjoying it. I'm still gathering info until the end of this week. I will start another thread as this one ends.
Kathy

Closing today - a day early but I have enough to workout and personally dmail each of you the secret person. NO ADDITIONS AT THIS MARK.
Kathy
How many are we? And, will you still be sending names on the 23rd or is that moved up a day as well?
I have dmailed each of you the name of the secret person. Please excuse any incorrectly spelled words. dmail me with questions if you can't find the person's address in the EXTRA FORUM under address exchange.
Please look on this thread and see what the person has requested, likes, dislikes, etc. HOWEVER, we can not meet all needs and this should be FUN. Do not stress if you don't have what the person wants. We are not paying for what we get so you get what is free to you. ENJOY IT.
If you have a complaint - keep it to yourself. Do not post it on any thread. Again - it's a game and you don't always win top prize. Don't express disappointment after you get your box of goodies.
Remember: REQUIREMENTS ARE - 3 perennials and anything else is optional. Read the sticky about packing plants - the link is on top of this thread.
You must MAIL your box out priority mail by July 9. Remember – the holiday will delay shipping and you don’t want the plants sitting in a hot truck somewhere. Make sure you ship the box to allow 3 days with no Sunday or holiday in those 3 days.
I stopped the secret trade a day early because I already have 48 people and I'm ready to dig and get this going. This just gives you one extra day to plan what you will send the secret person.
DO NOT CONTACT THE SECRET PERSON - be careful to read the names I gave you - some are alike, for example gardengirl and gardengirl1204.
No more posting here PLEASE. Any questions at this point should be dmailed to me. I will post a NEW thread for Secret Trade Received where you can post things you received, pictures, thanks you messages, etc.
GO KIDS!

let me know if I missed you
Apparently many of you don't have addresses in the exchange - if would be helpful if you would add that info. The general public can't access that info. Only us gardeners. I have 4 requests for addresses now.

Kathy: Just found this secret trade and would love to get in on it. Is really too late? Or could you add me since you decided to close early? D-mail me if I can still be in on it and I will immediately post my wants/zone/etc. Ruth
I'm sorry. All matches have been made. I'm sorry. It grew so fast I just couldn't let it get bigger.
There will be another in August IF THIS ONE RUNS OKAY
Maybe I'll catch it in time in the fall. Thanks anyway.
http://davesgarden.com/address_exchange/
this is the address exchange
When you box up plants and send them to your secret pal - include your full name and your davesgarden name. Please don't let anyone be disappointed - make sure you send your boxes out in a timely manner.
Kathy
It's secret until they get it! LOL I'll start the new thread now so you can post pics or comments when you get your boxes. At that point Dutchlady - you can tell your person who you are......
Kathy
I'm in zone 7a
I like any plants that attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
Thank you, I have my secret person likes all printed, I'm just waiting for her
