I'm so embarrassed to be so far behind this swap. Don't know why I can't get my act together.

But tomorrow DH and I are taking a little trip and going shopping, so I'm hoping for some inspiration!

Brad, you really LUCKED out..Your Hoyas are very very nice..'green w/envy, lol.' They're full, compact and deep green. Very nice. I went to a Lowe's once, 'none around here.' I was so excited after reading threads on GW. Ppl found gorgeous plants, at great prices. So, I get there..Lowe's speciality was Mums! lol. They had a few, very common house plants, all I have, or didn't want. Ivy, Philo, 'common types.' Plus, their plants looked terrible. An employee was watering, already soaked plants. Foil wrapped around pots, to boot. Two customers asked names of a couple plants..She didn't know. I joined their conversation, giving them both common and botanical names..'usually I use/know common names though, lol.' I walked out EMPTY-HANDED. Lowe's is at least 17 miles away, the closest to my home. Never again. But you found a couple beautys. MERRY CHRISTMAS. :) Toni PS. I've love to find deeply variegated Christmas/Thanksgiving Cactus...

I'm finally making progress. Part one arrived in the mail today, part 2 should be done by the end of this week. Part 3 is easy and then voila, my package will go west (hint hint). :D No preschool this week so I need to get creative in tethering the children while I pick things up! LOL I did finally get to go out with only one kid, which made it easier. The weather finally let up enough that I could get out. Sarah was quiet or asleep most of the time, which helped!

I gotta fess up. I'm done, too:) With plenty of time left to fret and second-guess. I think I dud good! I like vibed with my partner! I think...I don't know...I'm scared...tapping fingers on table. Get this? I did most of my Christmas shopping on line so I smugly shopped knowing I had a plethora of perfect boxes, with packing and everything, waiting for me in the garage. Oh, the joy. So, I go down to access the situation and they are all gone! He got rid of them! Mind you, I told him when I put them in there that these would make great boxes to mail things! He even got rid of the packing materials! Messing up his garage! Can I add that I bought like the biggest thing ever ? Shaun, I'm still waiting. You could of at least sprung for airfare for froggy:)

hee hee. I think you should send it too. Kind of depends on what , but if you would like two, I wouldn't woorry. Shaun sent me measuring cups in a swap. Of course I already had some, but hers get used daily - as that's something you need more (at least I did!) than one set of...:-) (She also sent me lots of other fun stuff, but you get the idea!)

I'm going out today too. Still not sure on my theme--hopefully something will jump out at me! Have a few ideas, but need to get the inspiration piece first.

When is the mailing deadline? The only thing I saw was "end of February", and I don't want to be miss it. Be forewarned, the paperweight on my desk reads "The Deadline is the Ultimate Inspiration".

I hope to go shopping this week, it's at least an hour one way, so I'll spend the day and try to come up with something. I have no theme, no clues and inspiration...yet! This ones tough for me. But.... I do have some pretty unique places to go looking and the swap is just the excuse I need!

Just hope for good roads, it's been pretty crappy driving along the lake shore for the last couple of weeks. There's been several fatal accidents due to the roads. I need to get out of this house!

I've got two done, and have a pretty good idea for the final item, all of which I hope to have packed and mailed this week. It's definitely not a theme, but that's okay too.

Well a few friends and I are off on a road trip tomorrow. Headed to Orlando for what we hope to be a little fun in the sun! I plan on doing all my shopping during the trip. Lots of antique and outlet malls. Not to mention the wineries we plan on visiting along the way. Will let you know when my package heads out!
