Shimla, I too like to check folks pages for their wants to see if I can help fulfill some more desires-
I wonder though if folks would get those packets- since you recieve back as many packets as you send in- I suspect some may be re-routed to others who send in more packets. I believe it is worth the effort though, to bring a smile to another~
I wonder what Lazyweeder thinks.....
Julie

I was in this last year...and it was a super exchange! Probably the best one I have ever participated in!!! Dave, you did such a nice job with this and I had received seeds that were on my "wants" list from some very nice traders! Please count me in...I don't want to miss out on this one! I will post my "wants" list later. Thanks so much for hosting this once again! - Lisa

Hey Dave -

Are you getting a lot of things in for Momof2 WV? There was a posting about her in the seed exchange conversations. I only had a couple of things from her want list but would be more than happy to have them just sent to her as a donation.

If it's okay with you and everyone, you can just trade my seed packets for things that were earmarked for her. I don't need as many packets back as I sent in. I'm sure I sent in enough to cover hers (if not, let me know). I will work on getting her address and send you a mailer and postage to cover her stuff. It might make her feel a little better to get a care package from our group!

Here is a link that might be useful: Momof2

shimla,

Thanks for letting me know about Momof2. If someone could pass on her address via an email I'll take care of the rest. I'll make sure her wishes get passed on to her and then some.

Dave

Mine is going out today....

Hi everyone,

Thanks,
Dave

I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who sent seeds for me. As you all know by now my little one was very sick and I couldn't participate. You sent seeds anyway and I sure appreciate it.

Hope you have a merry Christmas. Jennifer
