prepping my seeds for mailing:))

Hi everyone! I just emailed everyone regarding the details of the swap. If you did not receive an email from me, please email me.

I mailed my seeds today so they should get to you by the middle of next week. I hope I did everything the right way! LOL
Jeanne

WhooHoo! I'll keep a look out for them.

Seeds for a couple of my animals are drying now-I should be ready to send by the end of the week.
Alana

Sign ups for this swap are now closed. I hope everyone received an email from me regarding where to send the seeds. If not please email me. every now & then I have trouble getting through to aol email addresses.

We'll keep posting to this thread for the updates since we're no where near full.

I got sunburned weeding in the garden on Saturday. The worst part about it is I went out Sunday and it looks like I could weed all over again!

Happy Gardening everyone!

I received seeds from Jeanne / Sandlapper Rose today. What a fun collection. A few things I hadn't even thought of!

Glad they made it there okay. Wow, that was fast!
Jeanne

No seeds have arrived the past couple of days. I have been having fun packing up my seeds for the swap. I have some more to do too!

No packages the past few days. Hope everyone is working on getting their seeds in.

Happy gardening!

DH rushed me out the door this morning and I forgot the packages. I'll have to get them out on Saturday.

Seeds are in the mail everyone! I hope you like the selections of seeds I picked for you. I'm a simple soul when it comes to flowers, so it was great to learn about all the new(to me) varieties I had never heard of.

Happy Gardening!

(((HUGS))) to Becky and all!!

I love the selection!!

I can't wait until I can touch, and photograph, my very own Monkey Ass and Hairy Balls next year!!

Thanks so much -

Deb

Deb, ROFL! I had a rough day at work today. I think that's the first time I had a good laugh all day. Glad you like your seeds (who wouldn't get excited over monkey asses and hairy balls?! LOL!)

I have had 3-4 packets of HB seeds and none have looked as healthy as the ones I received from you:))

They even look WAY better then the ones I bought for the Odd swap!!

(Thanks jaynine)

Fingers are crossed for HB in my 2011 garden:)) - well from a plant anyway!!

Becky - I hope you have a better day -

Mine came, too. Becky~thanks so much for the careful consideration you showed in choosing my seeds--I love them! Thanks, everybody, for the great selection (and thank you, Deb, for the giggle)!

I have beem away for several days and had forgotten all about the seeds that were coming What a treat! I am especially happy with a couple of tomato selections I received.
Thank you Becky-nice job!
Alana

I'm glad people are happy with their seeds.

We had thunderstorms in our neck of the woods yesterday. The storms didn't knock out my internet & phone, but my doggie doesn't handle storms well. She got up onto the table and knocked everything off of it including our server & wireless network. DH determined we now have a bad cable that needs to be replaced.

On a positive note, last night DH & I picked up 2 shih tzu puppies! A boy & a girl. We still have to name them! We have them at work with us today.

My seeds arrived while I was away on a trip. Thanks to all who sent seeds for this swap and thanks to our hostess!
Jeanne

Thanks for making it a successful swap everyone!

The puppies names are Boris & Natasha.
:)
