SEEDS FOR NEWBIES

Whoops ... Those darn links http://www.sizzix.com/categories/Sidekick+Machine+

Yaaay! So glad I didn't miss this one. I will have the envy out to you today with the lil note regarding the cannas. I am not a picky one though...I will be estatic with anything I receive. Thanks for D-mailing me your address.

Woohoo! I got my package of seeds in the mail yesterday and I am in seed heaven! Thank you to all the donators and especially to Lorraine for her gracious heart and hard work. Now I just need about 30 more milk jugs to Winter Sow in and I'll be ready..... :D

30 ????? that's all??

Here's a picture of the machine, the die and the end result. lol Now just tape or glue pattern

I've had my machine about 4 years and I know the company has come up with a different machine , so don't know if they still carry that one. I have a wholesale account so could get them half price for you if they still have them. I'll see what I can find out. But if ya'll do any research and find them, let me know and I may still have an account with some of them. I had and still kinda have a small scrapbook business and I order stuff kind of like a co op so I can get stuff cheaper than retail. Of course Michaels used to carry them and they have the 40% coupon.

Hi. As you notice, no housework done. And no excuse, so help get me one. lol

Got some new seeds newbies, so if there is anything here you would like me to add to your packets, please let me know. A note in the envy when you send it will be best. I'll forget if I have to depend on my "d mail" or "thread" memory. Best to have it in my face so I can't miss it.

So many of you are being so generous to the newbies. I haven't been posting who sent what, I've been making sure or trying to make sure that your name is on the packets of the stuff you sent,.
But I am going to try and list the ones who are sending so generously. Youi should take a bow.

Laslo
Seander

Moretz

Poteger (All the french seeds are from him ) Seeds from France?!

I know for sure I dont' have even half your names down here. But I am going back through everything and get your name posted. I haven't been keeping up with it as I should. Like I said I wnated to make sure your name is on the packets, but didn't put them on the thread. Gona fix that.!!
When I started this I ws afraid I'd run out of seeds the first week. With all of your help, it's turning into something I hope will be permanent!!! Ya'll should take a bow, but I don't know how you'd do that online!! Just bow your heads and say, "aw shucks, weren't nothin""

OK, CLEAN THE KITCHEN, STOP GOING THROUGH SEEDS. PUT THEM DOWN. BAD LORRAINE

wHOOPS, Add Santeelady and Nannypb to the list.

If you aren't on the list above and you sent stuff to send out, please d mail me. I want you to get the recognition you deserve, but I"m lazy and don't want to go through all the seeds. lol

A Sizzix machine.. I knew I liked you Lorraine ^_^
A fellow scrapper! I haven't bought one of those, but I do have a Cricut machine..the older one that cuts the 6x12.. heck, buying the embellishments and the papers is almost more fun than actually doing a page! LOL

Chris

I love the "seed office"!!! Oh, and YES you are organized! You should see my dining room table right now....it's nothing but little stashes of seeds on random paper plates, napkins, etc. LOL. The good thing about that is I should have some more seeds to send soon ;-). I was waiting for the peak of ripeness to pick more hot peppers, but the squirrels finally showed up, and managed to chomp on most of the peppers I was waiting to harvest. Why can't they just eat all of one pepper, instead of taking several bites out of each one? Bad Squirrels!

Received my package today! Lots of great things! Thanks so much to all who are donating - y'all have lots of patience to sort & label all those seeds! And special thanks to Lorraine for all the time & effort she's taking to organize and mail them. It will be my turn to give back next Fall, & I will be more than happy to do that. I have a few wishbone flower seeds, but the deer ate the majority before I picked enough to share! I'll have to be more diligent next season. - Carol

That office is impressive! I hope I can add to that collection next year :) Thanks so much to all of the people who have donated seeds and to Lorraine for being so organized and generous :)

I'm telling you, I've never seen so much foxglove in my life. Must have stripped every plant in 100 miles of where you live. lol I can see me out when I'm 90, trying to get newbies to take foxglove seeds.!

CHris, takes a certain type person to scrapbook. lol I have a wholesale account with Provo craft and that's where I've gotten all my sizzix stuff. But I noticed last time I went in there that they hae discontinued them. I think they are concentrating on the cricut stuff.
I did notice the sizzix web page. I gotta get a little frog I lost. Afraid my scrapbooking has taken a back seat. I'm afraid I can only have one addiction at a time.
Glad your seeds got there Carol.!!

Hi Lorraine:

I briefly glanced but did not see the mailing address to send the SASE. Would you be able to supply this?

Thanks!
Betsy

Lorraine, I got my envy today and all I can say is HOLY COW!!! I'm soooooooo ready for spring so I can plant some of these wonderful seeds! DH couldn't believe it when I kept pulling out packet after packet. :)
Everything is perfect! There's a couple that I don't find in the plantfiles, but that will just make it fun to watch them grow. (mental note to self.. do NOT pull up plants.. pull up WEEDS!) LOL

thanks again.. this is great! (do I owe you postage??? I'm not sure if I sent you enough stamps or not)
Chris
