Round Robin Exchange

Christmas Exchange Complete

17 years ago

Gardeners,

Today, I got all of your gift packages in the mail to you! My wife and I tried our best to fulfill your wishes if you enclosed one to me. It was tough trying to make wishes come true. I gave up some of my seeds to try to make some of you happy.

The wife and I tried to give back the same amount of seeds that each person gave. We also exchanged gifts to those of you who gave a gift. If you didn't give a gift, you didn't get one except a homemade card.

My wife enclosed a homemade stamped card for everyone to enjoy and use later. I enjoyed hosting this exchange. I sincerely hope that you will enjoy all of your new seeds. Furthermore, from our home to yours...

We wish you a Merry Christmas.

Jim

Suzie, you send me an email thru my page with your kt name, real name & address. I divide the list into groups of 10-12, probably split it in half this year, as we don't have as many signed up. I email the complete list to everyone who signed up and ONLY to those who signed up. I do not share with anyone else. You will then find the group that has your name in it, and send cards or post cards to those on that list. After you have sent to them, you may send to anyone else on the list, or, if you would like, everyone on the list. You only are required to send to those on your list, tho. Cards may store bought or hand made, as plain or fancy as you wish. We try to have them mailed by the end of the first week in December so they have plenty of time to arrive at their destination, as out of the US takes at least 7 days to Canada, and longer over seas. If you have any other questions, please ask. If I don't get back here right away, others are good about helping answer that have participated before. Tami

Faye, Merry Christmas! I opened my gift this morning and I am overjoyed with everything! Thank you so much! The monkey is so special because my little brother had one of those sock monkeys as a kid and every time I see one I think of him. I am going to send him a picture so he can see it. The ornament is also so special and reminds me of my grandparents that are no longer with me. I love the macrame and this was one of my favorite hobbies as a young adult. I can't wait to hang it up. The stocking with the plaid snowflake is adorable and the journal and pencils are something I can really enjoy in my quite time. I love the precious card that you made with the Snowman and snowflakes! The cutting board is awesome and will definitely be used in the kitchen. I have been seeing those chocolates advertised on tv and thinking I would love some! Yum! The body spray smells amazing and I will keep it with me in my purse. I also thank you for the seeds which I will be winter sowing very soon, I so appreciate everything and all the thought and care that went in to my gift. It is all so special! Thank you so much and hope you have a very, very Blessed New Year! Amy

Hi, Jim - thanks so much for my nice package! The card your wife made is adorable, and whoever sent the nice extra fine point pen, I sure appreciate it. Super-fine points are my favorite, and I can't always find them.

What really boggles my mind though, is how you found such a great selection of seeds for me. I think I have pretty much every seed in the world, but there are some great new ones in this bunch.

Thanks ever so much, and Merry Christmas to you!

Thanks, Jim, for the great selection of seeds. I look forward to seeing them growing in my gardens. Also thanks for the lovely card, Ms Stockdill. Your time and talents are appreciated.

The silvery reindeer ornament is hanging near my computer, a reminder of all you great swappers. Thanks to the sender.

Merry Christmas to you all.
