CLOSED: Happy Holiday Seed Swap Season #2 Part 2

Thanks anyway Connie!

Connie, I didn't realize it was already going to me. Is it too late to leave them for Kathy? If so, I can send them to you Kathy when I get it. I feel bad. . . I've asked for too much already.

Lana

Lana, Your so sweet, I asked for more from Connie, too! Please don't worry about it!

Lana, or Kathy, let me know who don't get the seeds. I have some I will send to you.
kathy

Connie I will take some of your liatris if you are still trying to give it away. Cindy

Lana I took them out of your envie and gave them to Kathy :o)

Cindy you have some Liatris in your envie :o)

Ok the envies are all ready, sealed and will be at the post office tomorro or Thursday. Not sure which day dh will drop them off for me. The little angel will be coming home today *YEA* I miss her when shes not here lol...

To my gift partner, I am still waiting for the pkg to arrive. Will get it to you asap... Has everyone else sent their gifts?

Connie

I will be getting my gift out today, been pretty busy with the end of the semester.

:) Kim

I ordered mine through the mail, realized now it will not arrive wrapped. Wish I thought more about these things! For as much as I worry about it, you'd think I would do better!

I'm so excited, my first article appeared today! Please let me know what you think.

My gift is going out in the next day or two so my partner needs to be watching!
Karen

I sent my gift out in Nov and it was received already. This is the only time I have ever been ahead.
Probably will never happen again. LOL

I got mine!!!! Today!!! Thanks so very much Fran!!!! I almost bought a candle warmer yesterday!!! Thank you!!

I got my gift a couple weeks ago, it was the neatest rain gauge. I love it. It sits on my coffee table until I can decide where I want to put it so everyone can see it.

Thanks Tommie

Robbi , wasn't the wrapping just beautiful...haha, hopefully you carefully looked inside the warmer?

Enjoy ;-)


Connie, did you get my seeds?

Fran

Fran-I did find the snowman and he fits wonderfully with my snowman ornament collection that I hang from a garland in my dining room so all can see. That little guy is right in the middle because he has a trowel!! I LOVE him, where did you find it??

Would you believe I looked high and low for some sort of gardener ornment, I found a few that were pretty gaudy... then in the "man store" (Rural King).. they had a rack of specialty ornaments.. they had just about any title you might want. Needless to say I was thrilled!

Yes Fran, I got them Monday, sorry I didn't get it marked received.

Woke up this am to snow. I kept the ggbaby last night so I won't be on today, she will be waking up here anytime now. She has been a sleep since 1/1:30 this morning. So I know it won't be long before she is going to want changed and fed :o) I am going to get these envies in the mail tomorro, won't be going into Monroe until then, the post office here where I live has been a pain in the *you know what* about all the envies going out at one time. geesh its not like I do this everyday, like when I use to sell on ebay.... Okay I hear little whimpers, gtg. You all have a great day.

Connie

Mine will be off by the Friday.

I got a great indoor home plant kit from my Santa! It is much needed with all the plants I have brought in from the cold!

Happy Birthday mittsy

I received my gift last week--it is an adorable butterfly windchime--right now it is hanging over my kitchen sink. How did Santa know I had my eye on these?
Thanks Robin!!!

You're welcome. glad you like them. I had to have one too.

Happy Birthday mittsy

I didn't make it to the post office today, I have had the baby all day and its been really cold here, was suppose to get down to 14 last night, I am not sure just how cold it got here, but it was COLD and cold today. DH and I will be going into town tomorro, will get them all in the mail then,

to my gift exchange person, the item I ordered is on back stock but they swear it will be here b4 christmas, I just hope it gets here sooner than that so I can get it to you b4 then. Wish they would have let me ship it to a different address, but they wouldn't :( I will send it to you asap...

Night All

Connie

Ahhhh Riverland-you aint seen nothin! We were down to negative 16!! LOLOL

Come on up to MinneSNOWta!!!!

Robbi

Happy Birthday Mittsy! Wanted to add- my gift has a great houseplant book as well and a new method for growing avocado, which we tried unsuccessfully in the past several times using the toothpick method-this method-you just put it halfway in potting soil-that sounds doable-I'll let you all know how it turns out!!-Kath

Okay everybody, envies are on there way :o)

I did want to mention, someone sent some stamps on a strip of clear plastic (please don't respond to this) just letting you know that I had to use glue on these and the lady at the post office said I might get that envelope back, because they frown on stamps that have been glued. But the thing is, lol I don't know if I put them on the right envie.

I just mentioned this so you will know not to send stamps that way again to any swap you get in. The post office is really getting picky these days...

Well I am off, just let me know when the envies start arriving :o)

Happy Holidays,

Connie

Thank you for your efforts, Connie, can't wait to get all the "gifts"!
Karen

Yippppeeeee!!!!!! I can hardly wait.

Thanks so much Connie for doing this great swap.

Are they, here yet? Are they here yet? Are they here yet?

To my Santa *grinning* my gift arrived today, can't wait to enjoy it :o) Smells GREAT

Well we are eating dinner then getting ready to go to a Christmas play at the big Church. So won't be around until later, maybe.

So in case I am not on later,
You all have a good night...

Connie

My Santa's gift arrived today. A wonderful birdfeeder. I didn't have one either. Cindy

My seeds arrived today. To all of you who sent me birthday seeds and gifts, thank you. It was great fun opening all the little packages and reading all the seed names. I love the beaded flower earrings and the page markers are nifty, too.

I would like to know who sent the red bird of paradise?

Cineria serecio Silver Dust?

and Cassia alata Candletree?

The picture is my Secret Santa gift , it's a snowflake lantern. I love it. Thank you flowerhead410, Kathy.

Cineria serecio Silver Dust

Mittsy, I think that might be me..
I believe thats one I received from UK (mike) in a trade in the summer and he sent way more that I could ever use.
Fran

Forgot to add, I too received my seeds on Monday. Lovely.. gave me great ideas for packaging... and yes NICE assortment.. flowerhead410 I really wanted to try some tree seeds this year, now I need some advice, have you had success with these seeds?
I think my resolution for next year is to have my packages ready, just fill in the blanks.. instead of waiting till the last minute and having to throw things in.

I got my seeds today, thank you all so much!
Karen

I received my seeds as well today....such a welcome surprise! I loved all the neat wrapping ideas people had, I wish I was that creative. Thank you so much everyone.

mittsy, the cassia alata was from me.

:) Kim

Got mine-Thanks a billion!!

Got mine--what an awesome assortment!! Thanks everyone, and especially to you Connie!!!

I got my seeds thanks to all for each of the efforts at festive wrapping.

I got my seeds, too. Thanks to all, I think the wrpping was great, my granddaughter carefully opened each one and has kept all the wrapping in her little stash for future use. Thanks Connie for the swap, Thanks mittsy for the allium and Happy Birthday.

Received my seeds last night. My son bought them over to me along with a bowl of hot chicken soup and I spent the next half hour sipping soup and excitedly opening packets. It was better than Christmas. thanks to everyone for the packaging and the seeds and a special thanks to Connie for the time spent on the project. God bless you all and may this be a happy holiday season for you all.
Hugs gammy3 Helen

You all are very welcome.

Happy Holidays & Happy Sowing :o)
