Vee, You had me laughing so hard DH had to come in to see WHAT was the matter. I told him it "depends" on what you want to know. HAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! When I explained it to him, he just rolled his eyes and left. He usually thinks I'm nuts when I get going with my humor. Yes, you have my list down pat. I will not be adding to it--unless you want to look at my trade page. Would you believe one of my sisters got me a package of Depends for my 50th birthday? I laughed til I bawled. She also gave me some more appropriate or inappropriate gifts that I won't mention here. We can be REALLY stupid. I think you would enjoy it. Thanks for making up my list for everyone.

Carols dog is locked up and will only come out if someone dosen't send their end of the trade, you all actually sent your lists on the cards I sent out this morning, but I was hoping you would post so your pals could get a head start. please post when you get your card, and The person you got, so I make sure the list I posted is correct. thankyou

OOOOH, I get to send to PlantladyJan and that is (per my Grandaughter) Way Cool. She was a super Elf at Christmas so I'll try to be a super Leprechaun for St Pats. If I do good enough, do I get invited out for Green Beer? How do they make it green anyway? I need a few Macic Lessons here. Hogwarts anyone??

green beer is just beer with green food coloring, miss Mellen makes green vodka for all occasions, as does Miss Earthly. Beth I will be happy to go to hogwarts with ya. does your grandaughter live in fairbanks? was it her in the pictures you put in the bubble envie swap?was there an ice festival this year?

Well-- my list is short and sweet!!
windchimes-moons and stars
angels
bulldogs
fragrant flowers-house or garden
Is there a send by date???
Beth--please post a want list--help my poor memory out!!Gotta post a list to keep Carol happy!!!
Jeanette

Ok then for sure I'll be putting green food color into my wee bit o'Irish Mist and Toasting you all on St Paddy's Day. Lucky it's a Friday and I'l not working. It sounds like my co-workers have planned a party too. I'll be jigging along just fine.
Carol, I have no photos of G D Mellie since her SR Prom a couple years ago but we manage to get together for a day at the beach most every summer. She lives in MD. The young blond gals in the photos are daughter and Grandaughters of friends from Wyoming. We had breakfast with them here in Fairbanks and then went site seeing. The grizzly looking guy is my SIL. I have two and both are white haired. When I commented they said, "Look at the wedding pictures. We weren't grey then. It must have something to do with being married to Berry women" Lucky I'm not really a berry. I just married into the clan. lol
The ice carving competition has started and I plan to go and get some daytime photos today then back a couple nights for shots with the colored lights. That is the best time for detail photos.
St Patty's weekend there are dog races AND the unforgettable Chatanika Outhouse Races. Hope to get some good shots of that too.
MArch is a great month to be in Fairbanks. DAys are long and usually sunny. Nights are clear and cold.

Wow Fairbanks sounds like fun. I accidentally putmy card from Sue in someone's envelope, please let me know if you get it, also sue, givern4me please post a wish list, thankyou

Carol,
Thank you for the cute card, candies and seeds. You are so sweet. Amy

Carol, received my pals card along with the card, stickers and mints and seeds from you. Thank you very much.How thoughtful Ann

Carol,
I received your card along with the mints, seeds, stickers. How sweet! Thanks so much!

Everyone is welcome, Amybabyboy, no stickers? guess I can't get them all right. do the three of you have the same pals card as I listed here?

She is the only non drinker in the 4 stooges group of Earthly, Beth, Mellen and carol{{gwi:1242488}}

Carol--you forgot a stooge :( and this is not the first time!!!! I am starting to feel neglected!! Are you SURE your a non-drinker???? I have not recieved a card yet--will be waiting for the mailman!!
Jeanette

Thanks for the package Carol! Very kind on your part!
Yes I did receive the correct card according to your recent posting of pals!! Thanks again Carol!! Looking forward to this swap. Thanks for hosting it!

whoops 5 stooges, I was trying to remember the drinkers, I forgot you kept a flask, sorry won't happen again.got it in brain angel-flask.your card is on it's way, you will enjoy the breath mints, will help keep your secret.hugs{{gwi:1242490}}

Carol,
I did get the cute little stickers but forgot to mention because my 2 little leprecauns took them right away. My boys are 3 and 5 and just loved them. Thank you, Amy

Carol,
I also got the correct pal. Thank you, Amy

I got my card today and thanks for the little goodies! I am already working on my box for Skohler and will be mailing soon! Melinda

Carol, the envelope arrived today and it was much enjoyed and appreciated. Cute stickers and of course the breath mints come in handy for lots of reasons. Some nights we eat onions at work. Unfortunately they do not work nearly as well as a repellant as they do as an emetic. I think I need extra homework for "charms and spells" but untilI get it right, the breath mints will help.
Here is the DC# for the package to Jan 03052200000018098437 It's early but, "Life is uncertain. Eat chocolate whenever you get a chance"

Hi All! Just got online today EARLY Tuesday! Had beautiful weather here in NW FL this past weekend, was out digging out my flower beds, trying to hide from the family....lol. Today terrier-ist Otis rolled in said flower bed and so been dog bathing and grooming. grrrrr. that was me not Otis. O.k. well I received my envelope from Carol Monday, thanks for the card, mints and stickers! I am sending to Mellen and Carol has me. Right? For my wish list,
Anything Irish ( both grandparents from Ireland, collect everything Irish BUT booze, ah its a long sad story, but ohhh I could tell tales of me yoot and the St. Pats parades in Chicago,...sigh. ;)
daylilies, any
cosmos, any yellow, orange, or white, taller the better.
marigolds, named
sugarless gum, (got teenagers, keeps me from grinding my teeth)
Oh just about anything else,use your imagination...GIVERNY4me.

Ann,
Your package is headed your way> Happy St. Patricks Day. Hope you enjoy your box of goodies. Your garden friend, Amy
Del Conf# 03010120001033153373

Giverny4me, I am going to have to try the gum for teenagers mine keep me grinding my teeth and on the verge of insanity. On the other hand I may just hide in the garden. Amy

Amy===the gum is especially helpful for surviving the 15-17 year range....hiding out in the garden works too. 'Specially when they are looking for my car keys..lol
