Hi Everyone First I truly apologize for dropping the ball. I should have been a better host or reached out to see if there was someone else who could host while I couldn't. As things kept happening in my life, I kept thinking, it's just this one thing or once we get over this crisis, I'll have time to get back to everything again. And it just hasn't stopped. Not as an excuse but only for explanation, the last few weeks have been a turmoil with my grandmother in & out of a coma, my parents possibly getting a divorce, and my own job up in the air. It's still not over, but things have calmed down enough to come back to this. In the last couple weeks, I did try to contact Peggy (pdsavage) a few times with no response. I also know that Sherri tried to contact her to confirm receipt of the box, again with no response. At this point, I'm assuming that the box & Peggy are long gone, which is sad & disappointing since this was supposed to be a friendly swap. For my part, I'm sure that many of you are also disappointed with me & my lack of attention to this RR. Please believe me that it was not because I didn't care & I really feel so sorry that it's ended up this way. Anyway, for now, I think I cannot continue to host this. I know a lot of you lost many valuable seeds & cuttings as well as time & money & trust. Again I'm so sorry for that, & will contact you individually about it. A great thanks to those who did participate in good faith! Sincerely, Grace (celeegra)

Hi Everyone, I'm so glad that everyone's excited! I'm starting a new thread to recap. There are many open slots left, so please feel free to double up if you haven't already! Thanks, Grace 1) be a GW member in good standing 2) sign up by posting your birthday month, let me know if you prefer beginning or end of month, & email me your addy. 3) If you see free slots, feel free to pick another month also. 4) when you get the box, take as many as you like but replace with comparable items - rare seeds for rare seeds, common seeds for common. Bulbs/roots etc. for other bulb/root/starts that will travel well for a few weeks. 5) keep your trade list updated so that we can see what you would like. 6) look at the wish list of the next person & add a birthday card along with some things you think they will like 7) Send via small priority box with DC, & post DC here so we can all track progress January - February - canyonwind, flowergirl34 March - robin1962-2008, rosemctier April - sred98, debbya May - earthlydelights, canyonwind June - celeegra July August - flowergirl34, farmergirl2009 September - poisondartfrog October - jlee160, debbya November December - sherrih

I'm very interested in joining. My baby (my one and only) is entering high school in the fall. For me, it's just as traumatic as kindergarten! School starts here Aug 14th. I'll email wants/haves separate. Thanks for starting a cool swap!

Hi everyonefor your convenience and to make the tracking of this Robin simpler for everyone, Ive now separated the posts for this Robin into two Groups: Fabulous Favorite Green Group: SGUANZON - RECEIVED JCPYBURN - RECEIVED ARAILLIA - RECEIVED ILOVEFARAC MARGEC NANCE BOGARTBABY SNSHNDYDRM LISAM627 and the Fabulous Favorites Blue Group: MELLEN - RECEIVED HUMMINGBIRDDAISY - RECEIVED DJM906 - RECEIVED SHIMLA SCOUTTIEGIRL SKOHLER MYOHHMY EFROSTY1 PASTVAST MARISHA2 LISAM627 Please post in accordance to your group - when you receive the Robin AND when you mail the Robin. Dont forgetlet us know what "favorite" seed youve added to the box! Dont be afraid to post your thoughts/feedbackeveryone likes reading them! Also, if you havent emailed me or posted about being placed in the second mailing, please dont forget to do so if you are interested!!! What would you think if I combined the two boxes upon their return and mailed a single box for the second mailing? My thoughts on this are that what the girls at the top of the lists missed seeing what seeds were added to the box by the girls on the list below them. Just a thoughtthanks for doing a great job so far! PLEASE DON'T POST HERE AGAIN - THIS THREAD IS COMPLETED. Thanks! - Lisa
