Finally a picture of what I received for the swap. Lovely! I especially like the card with the fairy on the front. How appropriate!

I hope everyone is staying safe and warm.

Tammy have you received your gift yet?

I gave you the wrong tracking. No. it i . 9534600001595041000127. It was last recorded on Fe . 11 . scary.

Christine, no need to send a box. I am sure things are just a little rough for Nikki right now since she mentioned her daughter and grand daughter were ill. I noticed her package is available for pick up as of yesterday and it hasn't been picked up yet so I feel she is busy. She has been a faithful swapper and I am patient.
Thanks and if I hear from her, I will let you know. Margo

ok, i will give it a while longer then:) hope everything is ok with her:)

The schools are closed for tomorrow because of the cold. Mary E.

No I haven't received mine yet. Mail has been slow here. We got three inches of snow last Monday night and more on its way. I will keep watching for it.

Tammy

Wake up, guys! Our have/want trade lists are back! Look at Tamara's thread.

Thank you Mary! It took a bit but my list is there, outdated, but there!

can someone let me know if they see my trade list. I can't see it from my end.

Yes, I can see it. Tamara's thread explains how to get in and update it. Mary E.

Susan (skyblue52) I received my valentines today. Thank you! Thank you! I can't describe how excited I was to see the dwarf banana tree seeds I have wanted them for a loong time! I also received some potted plants and other things. I am sitting in car at post office. Will post a again with pics when get home. Thanks for brightening my day.

whoooo I panicked and sent you a U r special gift from kohls. I was thinking it got stuck in a snow/plane delay and froze somewhere. We are -3 and 100% snow on Sat. But I have pepper and tomatoe babies cozy in side. thank the lord for small gifts.

Susan I was going to email you but I haven't figured out how to do that on this new Houzz forum. I can either return it to you or I can send you a package of goodies for a belated fairy valentine? I went to see if you had a trade list but didn't see that either. Our weather has been horrible this year. We are expecting more snow over the weekend and so I will be winter sowing away inside.

Have a great day!

Tammy

Here is a picture of my fairy valentine from Susan. I got 5 pks of banana tree seed and a pack of salad seeds. A heart basket, and three small potted succulent plants. Also a small ceramic frog! 2 glitter fairy ornaments. Oh and almost forgot the gum and 2 chocolate bars. The banana seeds have been on my wish list a long time and yes I love frogs! You did an awesome job picking out things for me. Thanks Susan !!

Howdy Folks! Hope y'all are keeping warm because I'm sure you've noticed this crazy weather. The kids have been home all week. It's been an adventure and we are certainly having fun. One of my Uncles passed away and another person from my hometown. It left me thinking about precious time.

Houzz is something to get use to. I haven't been on much, but I will try to figure this place out. Glad to see our trade lists are back. Thank God for Mary. I'd never know what's going on without that sweet woman.

Oh, I'm so excited, I've ordered a new Nikon camera! I can't wait for it to get here. Pictures of the family and kids first. I hope it takes magnificent pictures of flowers and butterflies!

My apologies to Sheri and Melinda on your late birthday cards, but they are on their way.

Hope y'all have a fantastic weekend!

Promise :)

Hello everyone,

Why could they not leave gardenweb alone? It is lways the good things people change.

I received my valentines box from Mary, cottonwood468 yeasterday and Mary you sent way to much.

Mary sent chocolate an more chocolate, a rose pin, coca mix and tea bags. Lots of little goodies for me to start my fairy garden. She sent stickers and lip balm. Mary also sent 4 packs of seeds. I am showing a pic of all of it.

Thank you Mary you made my holiday.

Faye!

Oh, I am glad to hear it got through the weather. I put those fairy chairs up on the cable box to dry. They sat there for days, when I went to retrieve them, they were gone. When they could only be right there on the floor, right? No. Did the resident fairies take them? No, Some Kittens Who Shall Remain Nameless may have batted them around. Mary E.

But kittens are so much fun :)

Faye/nottougly! I need your email pretty please. It's not on the OBF list. You were kind and thoughtful enough to send me a really cool card for my birthday and I want to make sure you get one, too. Thank you!!!

Promise, are you still doing the club address list or is Shirley doing it now? Thanks.

My email address is on my Houzz "trade list" as well if anyone wants it.

Sheri

Hello. Wow. Somehow I have so far managed not to get sick but its been round one for my daughter and granddaughter and my friend who came over for a night got it also. Things have just been crazy over here.
Margo - I have your box ready and waiting to mail out for tomorrow. I am so sorry for the delay.
Dawn - Thank you so much for the gifts. I finally had the chance to check my mail on friday. The godiva truffles didnt last more than an hour after the box got opened.
When I figure out how to pull the picture from my phone (upgraded a few months ago) I will post it.
I so far am not liking Houzz. Oh well I guess it will take a little getting used to. I have not had the chance to make sure my trade list is up or check things out yet.

Nikki Your trade list is there, I can see it, under Overview. Mary

Trying to catch up on posts...just got home from a 3 day week-end in Pigeon Forge, Tn. Shoot it was the worst weather ever, we did survive and had fun shopping in all the outlets. Our group went to see the Lumberjack Feud Dinner Show Saturday night so really enjoyed that.

Hi Promise great to see your post, we miss you whenever you are away. I hope to get a really nice camera this year but I say that every year and hate to spend the money.

Faye-Great box from Mary E. I miss our garden web page so much, out of all the plant sites garden web was my favorite and so easy.

Tammy-Great box from Susan.

Sheri-I am the one to update lists and will attend to that. Sheri I sent another marker out Friday so hope this one arrives still in the envelope. LOL

Suzanne-So sorry you did not receive a box in January so I mailed one to you Friday, please LMK when you receive.

Ciinie0-I have avoided any one who said they had the flu so I have not caught it yet. I usually take the flu shot at work but I was on sick leave when they gave them last year so missed it.

Going to check on my have/want trade list.

Shirley

Hi everyone, I have been away a few days and unable to get on with my phone. I can't remember the password that I was forced to change when I joined houzz. I can automatically get on when I use my phone. I will figure out the password someday.
Nikki, thanks for letting me know. I don't mind it being late. I know our well laid plans don't always go as we had hoped. I hope everyone is feeling better at your house.
Hope everyone has a great week. Margo

Shirley, so very nice that you sent to Suzanne. I wonder what ever happened to Sue G.

Shirley, glad you had a wonderful time, regardless of the weather. When you are with good, fun people, that you enjoy being with, the weather really does not matter....LOL!

sweetkittens, in regards to Mardi Gras, "Any reason to party.".....love it!!!!

Suzanne-Hope you received your box. Delivery was supposed to be Monday. I will find the PO receipt with the tracking number and check.

Shirley

is there anyone who has not yet received their valentines gift?

Shirley, Suzanne posted on the January OBF REPURPOSED SWAP that she received your very nice package. I think I read it yesterday...........
And I can not remember who took the month of July.

Annie

Shirley, below is Suzannes post on the package you sent her (from OBF JANUARY REPURPOSED SWAP)

"Received my package from Shirley and it was full of goodies. A cardinal candle, February memo pad, post-it-notes, gardening gloves, crocosmia bulbs, Begonia'Double
Bouton De Rose", and Asiatic Lily 'Black Out.' Thanks Shirley I love it all!! Suzanne"

Happy Wednesday!

Annie

Thanks Annie for the update on Suzanne's package.

We are getting more snow....sheesh I am tired of snow.

Update on my foot: I went to my 2nd Dr's appointment with the Orthopedic Surgeon today and he confirmed it is not getting any better. I will be having a second surgery when I choose the date. I told him it would be best if I have it after July when we quit selling at the Markets. I was concerned I could do damage to it waiting that long and walking on it but he said no. I'm looking for a lawnmower with out the mowing deck to help with my walking around the yard. The 4-wheeler is so hard to get up on I think the mower would be much easier because it is not so high.

Erica-You may start the March swap post anytime you choose.

Only 11 more days to daylight savings time.....Yeah

I just found this completed list Sheri posted...thanks Sheri.

I'll go ahead and get March posted here in a few mins. Sorry that I haven't been around much late. Jan and Feb have been bugger months for me. I've had hardly a free second to spare. I hadn't forgotten that I was March though!

Kinda hate to see this one end. It was thinking about fairy garden plants and making things. Jeanne, I still hope to get the photo up, events conspire here. Conflict of schedules including and not limited to election day. It's not the weather, it's our schedules. Mary E.

Update, Nikki posted on last Sunday that she would be mailing my package on Monday. As of today, I have not received a package. Not sure if she has mailed it or not. Nikki, do you have any information? Margo

Fun swap. I would love to see pictures of all the fairies, if you haven't already posted them.

Ruth, I guess I never did get a picture posted of Dawn's package. I need to figure out how to glaze the little fairy because she's awfully cute and the hearts are filled with perennial seeds so they just need to be planted and then I'll find out what's in them

Hello. Margo I just sent you a message. I had some plumbing problems come up which took the last of my money for the month. I am waiting on a check to come in. I will get your box mailed out by tuesday. I am including a couple extras for the delay. Im so sorry, its been a bad month for me.

Nikki, was away over the weekend but did get your message today. Thanks for the update. Sorry about the bad month. I hope March is better for you. The cruddy weather everyone is having sure doesn't help.

Margo - Your package went out today. Should be there on thursday. Hope you enjoy it.

I wanted to share a picture of my new Shroomyz (the larger one). They aren't marked but I think it's Funtasmic Red Planet. I love these. I want at least one more different shape for my fairy garden.

those are beautiful!

I love those. Something no fairy garden should be without. The are a good luck symbol in Germany, like shamrocks. Mary E.

Woo hoo, received my box from Nikki yesterday and the post office was kind and didn't break anything. She sent two pretty glittery fairies resting their heads on mushrooms, a Valentine shelf sitting monkey, a yummy candy bar, tulip bulbs, a little gift book and several packs of coneflower seeds. I can't wait for spring so I can get those started. This may even be the motivation to get out my grow lights and get started now. Thank you Nikki. Margo

sounds like a nice box, cute fairies :)

Margo - I am so glad the fairies made the trip. Even though I left that paper on them I was worried. Glad you liked the box. Your welcome.

Margo-Nice box, that was worth the wait.

Ruth-Those are perfect for the fairy garden. I check out all the thrift stores for little treasures for my next fairy garden. Last week I found the perfect little raccoon figurine.

Margo, I always look at garage sales and thrift stores also. Fairy gardens must be very popular in this area. When I went to our local nursery/feed & grain store this week, they have gotten in lots more fairy items and added another big display fairy garden.
