I e-mailed my partner last night :-)

It is so hard to believe that January is almost over....sheesh,how fast can my life fly by....lol,at least Spring is on it's way : )

Donna

I emailed my partner last night too. :D Waiting for a response...

My partner and I have been in touch.

Bonnie

I sent my partner an e-mail this afternoon :-)

Please post here when you receive, we also love hearing what everyone receives. :) Thanks again for participating!!! :D

Sent another e-mail to Joan, as I am thinking she may not have recieved my first one :)

Donna :)

Haven't gotten a response from my swap partner. Not sure if my email went through or not...

Well, I suppose my partner has dropped out. Email doesn't work now at all.

Hi to all!
I sent Donna my address today and I'm waiting on hers. I ordered seeds especially for this Swap and am hoping they arrive before the ship date!

Joan

bump...

OT: Good news! I thought since I complained on this thread before, I should share when I have good news. Work has been slow this month. Not a big surprise but not welcomed either. However, DH got the word today that we landed another contract. Work might start as early as next week. YEAH!

DH goes back to the doctor's next week. The doctor is still trying to adjust his meds. We still haven't received our insurance cards yet, but at least we have the card number! I called and complained yesterday about the cards.

Congratulations on the new contract!! It is good to hear that work is still out there : ) And I hope they get your hubby's meds straightened out soon.

Becky what do you all do? I'm glad to hear that you got a new contract though! :) lol ugh... Insurance companies! Good to hear that you atleast have the card numbers and can use them. I really hope they get his meds to where they are supposed to be soon too. :) Still praying for you both. :)

How's everyone coming along with their swap partners goodies? I'm hoping everyone is having fun gathering!!! :D

Hi Kathy,

I'm an environmental consultant. My husband & I own and operate a small company that does testing for lead-based paint. We've done some work with radon gas too. Thought about getting into mold, but the liability insurance is through the roof. DH and I met when we both worked for an environmental firm that dealt with asbestos. Glad to be out of asbestos!

What does everyone else do?

Yoo Hoo! Donna, your box went out today!!!!!!!!!!
Conf# 0308 2690 0000 4005 5022
Hope you like it! :)

Joan

Oh Joan!! Fantastic!! I am going to try and get yours out on Monday...I just packed up your bubble envy and taped it up tight :) So it is ready and waiting to go!!

Just got back from sending Becky's package - DC is 0103 8555 7496 0156 8616 and our Mail Room had a leak a couple of days ago, so packages had been placed aside so they didn't get wet. Wasn't that nice of them? Well I should be thankful being this is a "seed" swap lol. Don't want those little gems growing before their time.

Had an email from Becky last night and she asked if I'd received mine yet cause the DC said it had been delivered Monday. Well I hadn't received it, so when sending out hers, I asked about mine. It had been there since TUESDAY :/ Well I haven't gone through it yet, but I will now and post what was sent.

Ohh this is just too exciting!!!!

Toni

Hi Everyone!

Nancy and I are both waiting on orders to come in before we mail our packages out, so ours may be a few days late.

Becky, you asked what everyone did. Well, there are those that may say I do nothing, since I am a stay-at-home mom, but I would have to disagree : )

Bonnie

Okay, now that I messed that up...here's the real number for your package. 0103 8555 7495 5922 0987

Got it mixed up with another DC I had sitting here. Sorry :o/

OH MY GOODNESS Becky.... You went ALL out!!!!!

I mixed them all up as I was sifting through, so they aren't in order by trade... sorry, I just got too excited and my little one was a very big help...he kept saying, "Hey I wanted those" LOL. I think I have them seperated by swap, but maybe not...so they are all listed below :)

So, I'll post this in both forums cause Becky was my trading partner in both.

So here is my goodies list :)

An adorable card with a paper heart that comes off and you plant the heart and it grows :) inside the card she explains that she separated them by theme...but hey what can I say. The excitement just takes over...can I blame my little one?? LOL only partly cause I was as big of a kid as he was hehe.

The cutest pair of heart stockings - I know this one's for the Cupid swap :)
And adorable butterfly magnet that came with little coloring pens - it's like a page out of a coloring book.

Thanks again :)

Toni / Dirtdiggin

I forgot to mention on the Cupid's Heirlooms. I thought you needed some "chocolates" for Valentine's Day, thus, the chocolate peppers!

:) I love them!! Thank you. I think they are on my wish list, and if they aren't it's cause it didn't take when I clicked the button. LOL

I hope that you enjoy your package as much as I enjoyed mine :)
