new: mnf october swap - u pick the theme

14 years ago

Well, this time around we're going to do things a little differently. Instead of Wendy and I picking a theme for you all to follow, each of us is going to pick our own theme. And, here's the kicker. Once someone has posted and chosen a theme for their box, NO ONE else gets to use that theme! This shouldn't be a problem since we've all shown how creative we can be, but it should be a lot of fun! We do have a few other rules, so let me outline them for you...

1) All players should be at least 18.

2) Please use a Medium-Sized Flat Rate Box, or the equivalent. Also, use a delivery confirmation number when sending out your box, and post it on the current thread.

3) Choose a theme for your box, and post it. This is going to be first come, first served, so get your choices in early!

4) Box contents should include at least the following... 3 types of bulbs or 6 types of seeds, a card or letter explaining what your theme is and why you picked it, 1 trick or treat (it is Halloween, after all). The rest of the contents are up to you.

5) Due to the time of year, plants are optional.

6) HAVE FUN!!!

7) And please, try to chime in on the current thread at least a couple of times a week. Getting boxes is fun, but we're also all about the conversations and getting to know one another too!

While discussing this swap, Wendy and I got to reminiscing about the good ol' days when she was a Valley Girl (fer shure) and I was a Preppie Punk (yes, I wore alligator shirts and had green and blue hair). Because of that conversation, we thought it would be fun if everyone dug into their photo albums and posted a picture of how they used to look. Did you wear bell bottoms and a tie-dye t-shirt? Show us! (Omit the bong though.) Did you go for the bandanas and chains? We'd like to see that! Were you into leather and swords? Well, Wendy has shown us her Xena-look, now's the time to show us what YOU looked like! (Sorry Wendy, just had to do it!) Once the pictures have been posted, Wendy and I will be handing out awards. We'll be looking for the scariest, silliest, and most-outdated get-ups, amongst others. So, show us what you looked like in days of yore!

Now, if you need some ideas for a theme, think back on what types of past themes we've had and choose one of those, or make up one of your own. Who knows? You may come up with an idea we'd all like to try in the months to come! Like Easter? Then post and put together a box with bunny rabbits and eggs. Christmas your thing? Tinsel and a Charlie Brown Christmas video would be great! Have a favorite color? Then build your theme around all things which are red. Get the idea? Good! Now, let's see what we all come up with!

DATES TO REMEMBER...DATES TO REMEMBER...DATES TO REMEMBER

Posting Date...Today, September 20th

Last Day to Sign Up...October 4th

Partner Announcements...October 5th

All Boxes Should Be Sent by October 19th

Oh, by the way, my theme? Well, I'm going to keep it simple. I'm calling my theme "ALL THINGS YELLOW".

Have fun!

-Dan

Hello and thanks so much for this fun swap!!!!!!!!! Shirley & Craftie2 & Corrine & Vina thanks for the congrats. It felt so good to win that I actually jumped up and did a dance. My significant other, Noel, went running for his camera so I calmed right down lol. No need for documentation... but I am so in love with all things garden and gardening that the idea of a "supa prize" got me up into the air. Corrine, thank you for your thoughts on attitude -- I think you've got that absolutely right and I'll be filing your examples in the back of my mind and pulling them out when necessary and applicable....probably tomorrow lol!!!! Have had a lot of fun and enjoyed meeting you all -- looking forward to sharing and hearing about everyone's gardening exploits and experiences in the coming season. Thank you so much Vina for brightening each day with your stories and wonderful pictures, games, etc. and for all your organizational effort!!! Best wishes, Barbara rhodes145

Hi Carol, Yes your box did arrive and let me share with Everyone what I received! The plants look great! Our temps have been really chilly, I've been afraid to send anything 'live' lately. The heuchera's my favorite, I love the foliage! Cranberry & Pear bath soak (I need a few hours to revive, LOL) Gardening gloves (always need these) Fridge pad of paper w/magnet (paper never lasts in this house, we always need it) Rain gauge (really neat, I've always wondered how much rain we get with our crazy weather) Cute picture frame (Daughter ran away with this) Package of plant markers (I always need plant labels) Jap Iris/blue (love Jap IRIS) Asiatic lily (love Lily too) This is going by my Mom's house in her landscape Heuchera with reddish leaves (another one for my Mom's house) Earring set with earrings (Daughter ran away with these too, LOL) Sweet pea body lotion set/gels (I'm hiding this) fruit delight (looks so yummy) Pink sweet pea candle (smells wonderful) Nice notebook (I need this by the computer desk) Journal, photo frame (Daugher ran off with these) Chai spice tea (Never tried spice tea, sounds really good) purple elephant (MINE, LOL) I'm putting him in my car, let's see how long I'll have him. ;) Thank you Carol for such a wonderful box! I loved everything you sent! This swap was so much fun! Better make this short, It's so late and I'm jumping in the shower to try Carol's shower jel, yummy smelling lotion! Hugs, Deb

HAPPY PART... Okay, the votes are in, and the judges have made their final decision! The winner of the picture contest is Joan, with her pictorial contribution of "LEGS"...lol!!! It was a tough decision, and all the pictures were great, but what really won it for Joan was our fear of what she was holding behind her back in the picture, and whether or not she'd use it on us! LOL!!! Joan, put the chainsaw down!!! Now all I need is Joan's address (can't find it anywhere here on this computer... Bump's been "organizing" files again!) and her prize will be on it's way! Thanks to Everyone who participated and came through with their trade! You all made this swap a great one! -Dan =========================================================== UNHAPPY PART, BUT SADLY NECESSARY We unfortunately had one person fail to follow through on her end of a trade, and yes, I'm talking about Leah/dancingrabbit. The last time she posted she said she'd be mailing out her boxes (she's in two RRs that I know of) this past week, so, I'm giving her this coming week to either post delivery confirmation numbers (so the boxes can be tracked) or for these two boxes to actually be delivered. If no proof of these boxes has surfaced at the end of this coming week, Leah will be banned from further trades within the MNF group, other groups will be alerted to her actions, and a VERY unsavory rating will be left for her in the rate and review forum, hopefully warning anyone else from including her in any trades or swaps. Leah, if you are reading this, and you wish to save your reputation, post the delivery confirmation numbers of those boxes, AND e-mail me right away.

Received my great box from Rose today and what fun to open. She included a 4 o'clock tuber which is great because I couldn't grow any successfully last year so this will give me a head start. The cutest little painted gourd ornament that is hanging on our tree as I type this, nothing but that is on that tree because I am so far behind but it looks great. I love the ornaments I hang on the tree each year from my gardenweb friends. A decorative spray can for misting my plants, (much needed), seeds, hot cocoa mix, (again much needed as our temps have dropped), all fruit spread that will be out on the table tomorrow morning at breakfast and a huge jar of honey that I can't wait to start using. Thank you so much for all the great things packed in my box Rose. It is all much appreciated. I hope everyone is off to a great weekend. I spent an hour last night standing in the freezing cold after the maintenance guy hit a gas line while trying to dig next to our building to fix where we had water leak every time it rained. The store quickly filled up so we had to leave and it took almost an hour to get the company out to shut off the gas. The guy that hit the line thought it was no big deal and told other businesses that they didn't need to worry. The gas company was not happy with him. Since he was the one who caused the problem, he or his boss will be responsible. He made a real mess that escalated into big problems so this will cost someone thousands of dollar. Thus, the reason the gas company says "call before you dig". Smitties

And I missed the tea!

Just returned from a business trip --- the business trip from HELL. I got home last night and I'm still waiting for my luggage. Brushed my teeth with my finger last night. I was trying to look through the cabinets for the extra toothbrushes by H couldn't sleep with me on search mode.

I was lucky enough to spend 3 hours in a plane out on the runway. Air was on and off. Two crying babies. No drinks. They locked the restroom.

And, the same people wanted to take my laptop case away because it was "too big." It fits under the seat. Other people had "carry-ons" that are larger than my suitcase. I wasn't the nicest person when I answered the "too big" remark. I guess losing my luggage was their way of getting back at me.

And, I get to do it again on the 12th.

Need brownies and tea.

Sassy, I didn't see you in the doctor's office yesterday, but yes, that is pretty much what I looked like. I wasn't wearing those blue glasses though, I wonder where I can get some? They'd go great if I punked my hair and died it purple, don't you think?

Oooh, Amelia's having all the fun! No fair!!

Well...I have only flown ONCE in my entire life- way back in '92, before things started going nuts, and you still got your free peanuts & coke (and the free lunch, which was actually not half bad!). I"m pretty sure I will never EVER fly again, though.
No thank you.

HEY, there's DAN! Hi Dan!!

Hmmmm....I'll trade you, Amelia! I woke up to 50 degrees IN THE HOUSE! this morning. Seems hubby put a gigantic hole in the outside wall (actually tore off part of the carport & half the outside wall there). The roof is structurally unsound, and he thought he'd remove the carport (it's caving in)....and just shore things up on that side of the house.

Now...here's the thing....he always, ALWAYS tells me not to start any home renovation projects UNLESS AND UNTIL we have the $$ to complete them. (I'm not supposed to knock down anymore inside walls, for example)
Yet...we have no $$ to fix the hole in the house. And no sheets of plastic, either. And we've had bat problems in the shed & barn. So now I"m thinking...we're gonna have company for halloween, since our attic is wide open.
Not to mention the 50 $#*@ degrees in the mornings!!

I love my hubby dearly, and he's usually very sane...but this makes me wonder......

Brrrr!!!!! I'm still shivering!!
Oh, we have no heat, either. Just the woodstove. But we haven't had time to split & chop wood, since we've had so much cleaning up to do from the ice storm.

I know...ironic, isn't it? Kinda like dying of thirst on a raft in the middle of the ocean....

But guess what we're gonna be doing this weekend? Yup..chopping wood.
Yay.

Anyway....anyone got an extra blanket?? :P

Melissa I feel your pain...we have a hole in the kitchen ceiling, the siding on the outside is falling off in pieces, and there's bubbles under the wall in the bathroom.. oh yes and I noticed a soft spot right near the tub. joy.

Please carry on @#&*itching session..lol It helps to let it out! time for my Daytime Nyquil!

Oh, Wendy! You've got a skylight in your kitchen! I'm jealous! And soft spots near the tub are so much fun! Taking a shower is much more thrilling & adventurous, dontcha think?

*note to self: Never, NEVER EVER EVER buy a house that's 75+ years old again*
Ughhhhh....what were we thinking? :P

Well, it's kinda nice to know we're in the same tub, so to speak, Wendy! LOL At least someone understands my pain! Not that I'd wish a crumbling house on anyone, ya know....but at least we HAVE houses to complain about, right? :O)

I hope you get to feeling better soon, Wendy! There are some nasty bugs going around right now. There have been schools closing around here because of them...and it's not the flu, which makes it even worse, I think. Because we've not ONLY got the flu to worry about, we've got a bazillion other nasties, too.
Yay.
Makes going grocery shopping even that much more fun.
Woo-hoo!

"what do you want me to pick up today, hun? Head cold or stomach virus? How about that new respiratory thing?"

Wheeeeee.

And now, I'm off to put on ANOTHER pot of coffee. I need more energy, I've still got 4 more loads of laundry! :o)

Things are looking up....

I got my luggage around 10:30 this morning. That's only a little over 36 hours after I should have picked it off the baggage carousel.

I've had the 75+ year-old house before. Since H isn't much of a handyman, most of my planned projects were never finished. (H is completely confused by any building projects.) We won't have another older home although I do love them.

I'll send you my 90+ weather for some of your 50° weather!

Oh no! Round robins are addicting too!?!? What will I do? Well, being I have become thoroughly addicted to seeds and I'm not a quitter, I guess I'll just have to submit :) My mom used to get annoyed with my sister and I when we were little (we are major book addicts and we bought them all the time- still do) and we would just tell her we could be addicted to worse things like drugs. So, I'm sure seeds isn't too bad either :) Have a great weekend :)

Wendy, gonna send my address after I post this. I have no idea if you have it or not as I have several things going on here at GW I am part of. I have a notebook just for Gardenweb activities so I don't get lost.

Hey Dan, you a Tigers fan? Our family is going nuts watching these final games. As former Michiganders, we haven't forgotten our roots or dropped our Michigan teams. (Well the Lions might be an exception :( )

Hey Wendy, you have it now.

Laura, my son is die hard Michigan fan and was none to please about your Spartans beating them. He isn't a happy person this weekend with that and the Tigers about to blow their chances of moving on. Would not want to be anywhere near him if it happens.

Here's a pretty cool song. It's "Get Together" by the Youngbloods. Enjoy...
Love is but the song we sing,
And fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Know the dove is on the wing
And you need not know why
C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now
Some will come and some will go
We shall surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moments sunlight
Fading in the grass
C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now
If you hear the song I sing,
You must understand
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command
C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now
Right now
Right now!

I just got over a bad cold, first cold I have had in years and it was no fun ! I went thru 2 boxes of kleenex, 4 boxes of non drowsy sudafed, 2 boxes of regular sudafed, ( don't accidentally take 2 of these on my way to work ... no fun trying to stay awake at the PC ) a BIG package of cough drops , 2 Bottles of Robitussin and a bottle of extra strength EXCEDRIN ... ugh I am so glad its finally gone !!
Speaking of jams , I have a batch of pumpkin butter simmering in the crock pot ... will jar it up and process it tomorrow ! yum ! My favorite so far is the peach butter I put up in August ...
Looking forward to finding out who my partner will be, I sure did miss this !
Linda, pass me a brownie please ? oh btw ... I just collected a bunch of oregano seeds today ... ;-)

Tuesday partners! What's up with that! I will gladly pay you Tuesday for my partner today! Too rephrase a very spoiled little girl, "I want my partner and I want it now!

Sorry about that. I feel better now. Now will someone please pass the scones and tea. You better make that tea double!

well, all I can say to that is..... "Veruca! Watch out for those squirrels!!!" LOL!

Well, today is the big adventure called "work". I'm drugged, fed, ready to see what happens. My headache and the pressure between my ears is back, I've noticed, but hopefully it'll go away soon. This is going to be a long day...

Hope you have a good day at work Dan. I seem to have come down with the stuff also. I'm just going to give up on trying to treat it myself and call the doc and get some good drugs!
