Get ready - 'cause here they come!

Well, I worked my rear off fri & Sat to get all in the mail by noon on Sat, but...I messed up and thought I had until noon but it actually closed at 10:30, oops. So, I crossed my fingers and sent the ones I thought had enough postage (pick up was @ 4) and held back 2 iffy ones which will go out hopefully on Monday if I can mail them from work - if not then Tue.

Sat was a really crazy mad rush and I seemed to have lost 3 lables, and one set of stamps, so if you get handwritten envelopes that is why. Also if you get someone elses Addy in your envelope, that may be where they went. I think it was my own fault, but it may have been the twins "trying to help" When I actually let them in the same room the last 15 minutes. They did put some of the paper scraps from the backs of stamps and labels into one that I had to fish out...So, anything wierd in there is a "gift" from them (18 mo. today).

Everybody got a few bonuses and any wishes I could fill-I did. I even "shared" a few of my personal trades and purchases for a few when I could to help fill some wishes.
Hopefully you will like what I sent your way. Some "Dislikes" couldn't be avoided do to too many of certain trades that had to be devided up, but I tried to honor them as much as possible.
Enjoy,
Abbey

I received my goodie bag,wow,i am blow away with all the different seeds i received,i did not send in that many,but i sure did get a lot in return,thank you all for your giving spirit,and Kym,for working so hard on this swap,i know there is no way i could do it. My favorit was the Lavender,i wanted to try this so bad,i did receive a few in my first trade,but they were not for my zone,this time it was, and i just sowed them this morning.Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa One thing i was not sure of,when the swap said commercial seed,i thought we had to buy the seed,so that is what i did,sent in the whole packs,is it proper to send traded commercial seed? At the beggining of this trading-swaping,i thought you should sow every thing some one sent to you,and it was not "nice" to trade a gifted seed,i have since found out,that is what ya all do,ha ha,thus,so many seeds in your stash. I am still not sure how you do the Birthday thing,is it ok, to send small re-packed seeds to you for your Birthdays? Or should the packs be unopened,and bought? I am going through my seeds again right now,gotta see what else i can do up today. Thanks again every one,this really is a great way to spend a rainy day. cAROL

Wow -- is there still time for me to join in? I'm kind of a newbie but from your lists I see lots that I can send to fill wishes- so here goes. Any heuchera Coleus (black dragon or others) Columbine - single colored varieties- bright colors or an all white variety is better! Lobelias -- or other trailers for pots Black, rust or peach colored flowers for my peach garden Echinachea- other than white swan or the plain purple variety(Peach would be great) Daisies - have clara curtis, giant white, and white shasta-- my three little girls just love to cut and cut all season long and far be it from me to discourage future gardeners! Coreopsis of any variety I don't have (coreopsis I have include: pink, zagreb, seashell, mahogohny midget, moonbeam) Lavendar - Spanish Pink Forget me nots Black Eyed Susan Vine - all colors Gladiola Seeds Monarda Flowering Groundcovers -- nothing invasive like vinca or ajuga I would prefer not to get-- Daturas, Moonflowers, Four O'clocks -except for the variegated kind -would love those, Cactus, Succulents or shade lovers --other than what was listed above-- I have very little shade. Also not interested in herbs and have all my veggie seeds for next year allready.

Hi Abbey,

I received my seeds today and am very pleased with the selection and amounts as well! I feel really bad though because the stamps and address label that I sent you for the return trip were still in the envelope! Thank you for adding stamps and label of your own. I really appreciate it. Hope you didn't think I was a deadbeat...
