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!

Due to confursion with the two new members I am sending out six to emily... Time and the gardener (too many words not enough photos lol) Great Garden Decor - please return did not have labels so I wrote name and address on front page. Book has some neat ideas... I want to try one on page 74 with circle and stones on circle as well as brick patterns on page 73 Lawn & garden book. All about azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons The treehouse book, alhtough this book is not really garden. it is inspiring to look at photos and made me feel like a kid again for 10 minutes which made the book worthwhile just because of that! The little guide of herbs. Sorry for the delay emily! I just got 4 trees cut down in my yard what a mess.... Still have carcuses of 2 left in my yard we are trying to cut up.

Dee, you've passed the packaging test with flying colors!! Your box arrived and everything will make it just fine! I'm so happy with what you've sent: A very nice card and note Creeping Sedum - new for me Heliopsis 'Lorraine Sunshine' - Love the foliage on this!! Columbine songbird 'Cardinal' - LOVE this columbine!! Scabiosa pale yellow - I've been wanting this also :) Dianthus 'Telstar' - There is even a flower blooming! Viola - pretty colors that I don't have! Sweet William 'Heart Attack'- I love the color of this! Daylily 'David Kirschoff' Daylily Siloam 'Fairy Tale' Daylily 'Bela Lugosi' Daylily 'Nefertiti' I've googled these daylilies, and will absolutely love them blooming in my gardens!! Thank You soooo much Dee, for all of these wonderful flowers!!! I will get them planted and watered immediately! It's a nice cool day today. Last night we were in a frost advisory, and I've not been feeling well, picked up some kind of nasty cold virus, so I decided my plants were on their own. Didn't have the energy to go out and take care of them. Everything looked fine this morning. Tracy, hope your water situation was taken care of! Sassy, your granddaughter just keeps on getting cuter and cuter!! Have a good day everyone! Karen (still smiling from ear to ear)

I visit Oregon whenever possible - it is defintely one of the most beautiful states. The cheeseboard is stunning, as is the quilting. Everything looks great. From what I can tell, the Ina Garten books will be fantastic also, although I've never seen her. I tried to get one of her videos for this swap on eBay but got outbid. The tooth pillow is too adorable! Lars

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!
