Good Question Susan!
Stamps and a return label are fine, as long as it can get back to you. With a regular envelope, sometimes they rip easily and it is better to send another one inside of it. So either way works.

Thanks Anna! Back to sorting out my coolest purple seeds :)...

Susan

My seeds are on their way -- I mailed them this afternoon.

Susan

Seeds are in the mail!

Seeds are mailed out. I THINK I put return postage inside, but I just had a panicked moment when I could not say for sure. SO, If I forgot, please send me an email and I will mail it in an enve real quick. I hope I did.

Thnaks.
Nichol

Seeds are in their envie, and are going to work with me tomorrow so I can mail them out!

Linda, don't fall off that pile of boxes!

My seeds are on the way! Thanks for hosting! Melinda

Mine will be in the mail today! Stopping at the post office on the way to the doctor's.

Yeah! I will post when I receive the seeds.

Only One Day Left to Sign Up!

(Big sigh)Ok, I'm in, I'm sure I can find 10 purple plant seeds. It sounds like this would be more pleasure than work.
This would be a good time to learn how to host a little swap. I'd like to take Chocolate in August, and if we are doing 2 colors per month, then Chocolate and Red would be lovely. The month is flexible too. LMK if this is alright and if I am able to host it. Thanks. Chris

Just finished sorting and packaging my seeds. They will go out tomorrow morning.

Thanks again for hosting, Anna!

Bonnie

Your in grolikecrazy. I will be sending you an email shortly. All the colors and months have already been filled. But I will let you know if and when we start another round.

Becky and Susan: Received your seeds today! :)

I'll be packing mine up this weekend so they will go out on Monday! :)

Hugs,
Wendy

Sorry for just now posting. Didn't have access to the internet :-(
I think I am gong to have to back out of this swap. I am so far behind and would like to get caught up before committing to anything else. I hope this is ok???

Thanks and Happy Spring Everyone!
Carrie

My seeds are going out in the mail this evening. Hopefully, this is soon enough. Unexpected demands on my time have come up. We recently found out we have to move AGAIN.

So, been packing (again) and apartment/house hunting for a place we can afford which also allows pets. All of this really does eat up free time for hobbies and swaps.

Thanks for being understanding. :)

barefoot_contessa: I'm sorry you have to back out, but that's okay with me. If I have lots of leftovers, I'll send you some anyways! :)

Grovespirit: if you want to send your seeds and then let me know your address later on, that's fine. :)

Hi everyone!

I totally forgot to post! So sorry! My seeds are out and about! Should be to you soon! Christy

Ah how sweet. Thank you! I was hoping that I wasn't going to upset anyone by not being able to participate. :-)
Hope you all have fun!
grovespirit - once you get moved, I would still love to trade with you (seeds). We were never able to finalize out trade. That's when my computer went poopy on me.
Hope you find a nice home for you and your pets!

Thanks to everyone who sent in seeds! They are going out tomorrow. If you still have not sent me your seeds, the deadline was last week. :( There's always the Blue Seed Swap going on now, or you can save those purple seeds for next time!

Thanks everyone!

You can sign-up until Friday night/Saturday morning by sending me an e-mail with your name, address, garden web name, and e-mail address. I'm mailing out my address to everyone who is signed up on Saturday the 2nd so you all can send me those seed packets, and I can start sorting and mailing!

happy Sunday to all, and to all a great day!

Hey Guys and Gals,
Sorry about the lateness of the seeds :(
I am actually running to the post office now. I have been working on other projects.

blue_ivy, you should get your seeds early next week-I'm sending those by high-speed mail, or the quickest way to get you as early as possible.

Thank you all for being so patient and for making this a fun swap! Good luck to Dan and his Blue Seed Swap as well!

i am so anxious for the purple, i only have two purple vegies, one is ornamental pepper and the other is a bean, so i hope i have something cool!! **big grin** if they are just flowers, i'll just toss them in with talla's fairy stuff, she'll only be so happy!! ummm...dan, you'd be only not so happy with her garden, its NOT organized!! LOL i sooooo love that!! **grin** although, i'm just slowly but surely getting this lawn gone!! hee hee, and the funny part, i don't think hubs even is paying attention that much!! **grin** he's just happy i'm busy and not mad for a change!! LOL dang horomones!! LOL

Here is a link that might be useful: barehanded totally nutso gardener :'}}

OK I just realized I did NOT send my package as I found it under a pile of stuff on my desk. errrr. I thought I mailed it with the others I mailed out weeks ago. Anyway Anna please do not wait for mine. I am sorry about that.

Tammy:-)

Big thanks for the seeds everyone! I'm thrilled with the veggies and the Rose of Sharon seeds.

Big thanks to Anna for coordinating the swap!

My seeds arrived today!! I'm thrilled to have a new tomato and pepper to add to my already too large collections. There are also several veggies and flowers I'm anxious to try, and I didn't even know I wanted them :) Thanks carroteggs and all you swappers. Gotta go do some planting now. Warm weather can't be too far away.

Hi everyone. I was so thrilled to get my enve today. It had purple broccoli (YIPPEE) and purple carrots. My kids are SOOOO excited. It has lots of purple flowers that I have never grown. I am so thrilled with the large selection I rec'd. I want to say thanks to everyone. Great swap.
