Hey Tracy, I tried to send you an email, but you have not set that option up yet. I would recommend that you go to your member page and choose the option that allows other members to email you though Gardenweb. Your email address will not be shown to other members or to outsiders, so it's the safest way to go. If you want, you can email me and give me your email address so that I can contact you and let you know what is left. Two of the people above did not send their envelope, so some of the original seeds are still available.

seedmoney - thank you SO much for the seeds, just got them in today. I wish you were here when I shouted "YES!" at the dinner table. My husband raised his eyebrow at me. The extras are wonderful. I will be sure to send you pictures.

This swap is for COMMERCIAL SEEDS ONLY, and the packs must be seeds from 2010 or newer. Since these will be commercial seeds, you will probably get 1/2 trades but it will allow you to try some of the newer varieties of seeds. PLEASE DO NOT send any cosmos,marigold or zinnia mixes (i have way too many that I got stuck with) Please don't send dollar store seeds. If these types are sent they will not count towards your total number sent! They will be returned to you. We must be fair! Flowers and veggies are fine, last year we did both and it worked out. I did have a player that sent in all veggie seeds but requested only flower seeds in return, this I cannot do. I can't send someone who sent all flower seeds all veggies in return. ( There is no minimum on the number of packs you can send) Here are the rules... 1. Must be commercial seeds 2. your packages must be labeled with year and where purchased if not in original packaging. It would be great if your name was on the package also. 3. No more than 5 packs of the same type of seed (please don't make 5 packets of the same seed with 5 seeds in each package) I have purchased seeds that come with only 10 seeds to a package and shared 1/2 of that BUT I have also gotten seeds with 5 packages of 10 mixed marigold seeds. I try to keep this swap as fair as possible for everyone involved so please only send what you would be happy to get in return. 4. Must be mailed by March 1. I will send my addy as people sign up, you can mail whenever you are ready to do so. 5. seeds will be returned within one week from the last package that I receive. 6. have a current wants list for me to check when sorting. (last year I sent garden seeds if they were on someones wants list BUT did not count them towards my contribution to the swap!) 7. sign ups are until the mail date...The more the merrier! When mailing seeds, please be sure to put the same amount of postage that it cost you to mail PLUS.85 for delivery conf.# (last year a package was lost and had no conf #)I felt bad so I replaced it with my own stash! I mail from the post office so stamps or cash is fine, change will be returned with your seeds! last but not least, I won't be sending reminders so please mark your calenders.. Happy New Year! Lisa

What a great post! As you've seen with the responses...you can definitely mix paints so long as they are the same base (water or oil). It really brought back a fond memory for me. When I was about 14 I remember coming back to "the shop" and seeing all the guys grabbing every gallon off every shelf and pouring them into a big mixing vat. Every left over gallon from years back to the last week. Any questions were met with Dad just saying "dump it in there!". Everything from whites to neon greens. Mixed it all up and it came out a lovely beige. He took a color sample on a card and sold it to a hotel job he just landed. We did an entire 5 story building with that stuff...and it looked like the day it was painted for 16 years, until Fairfield bought the place and renovated everything. For 16 years I drove past that place and smiled...thinking of Dad...as long as I could forget hanging off that thing on a boatswain's chair actually getting the stuff on! Mix 'em as you see fit!
