Dawn and Amy I received both of your cards this weekend, but was busy working so didn't get a chance to say thank you. Thank you for the cute cards and great seeds.

Dawn I can't wait to plant the radishes I'm half tempted to plant some of them now with the nice weather we have been having.

Many I can't wait to try the tomato seeds such a cute little pack that they came in.

Val, Kyla, and Karen- my valentines went in the mail this morning so they should be there Friday.

Margo (Smitties),

THANK YOU for the pretty "LOVE" card with doily and the great seeds you sent! Cosmos Cranberries, Dwarf Hollyhocks/queeny mix (from my list!) and Dianthus Raspberry Ripple. Cant wait to grow them all! They all sound LOVELY!!

My last two cards hit the mailbox today. Should arrive in plenty of time.

This time last year, we had snow on the ground. Tonight I'm listening to a thunderstorm. Strange. We've had two measurable snowfalls so far and neither were much more than two inches. Margo

Thank you to tonyadawn for the beautiful card. She used string to make hearts and used stickers and glitter to complete it. Also included were dianthus, pea and day lily seeds. Thank you so much.

All of my cards went out today.

I received my Valentine card from Trudy. Thank you Trudy for the seeds that you sent to me. I can not wait to start them.

Thank you very much.

Faye!

A huge thanks to dm_kelly and Karen holt! My cards came today and I'm so excited about all the seeds they sent! I can't wait for warmer weather now. And dawns card came with the added bonus of chocolate covered macadamias. Between the two cards I received 10 new varieties of flowers for my garden this year! Thank you so much to you both for your generosity. :)

What super adorable Valentine's from Dawn and Karen. You ladies rock!

Thankyou to Erin (boygardner) who sent me a pretty card with sunflower pictures cut out in heart shapes and a twice bow. Erin, you commented on your creativity but I thought it was pretty creative.

Has anyone heard anything from Shannon (sim2118) ? Hope she's o.k.

Trudy, I havent hear from Shannon/slm2118. She may be late sending her cards? I've sent her a message and I did get a message from another participant that is late sending their card(s) so I hope all is well.

Shannon is well, got a message from her today; Life just crazy, which I know we all can relate to at one time or another.

Sure looks like everyone has made such pretty valentines. I am so proud of all of you.......That's the way to deliver a good punch..

An thank again to the ones I received.

Good morning, everyone...it's a chilly -8 here in Massachusetts...Needless to say, I plan to hunker down and enjoy the inside warmth all day :)

Shannon -- I received your card today. Thank you so much!

Thanks Shannon for the adorable card you made & the great selection of vegetable seeds for my 2016 garden. I will think of you as I tend to them. Then when I harvest & enjoy the veggies I will offer thanks to God for your generosity of sharing the seeds that made them possible. You've been a Blessing to me, Trudy

I hope everyone has enjoyed the Valentine Card swap, and all have received their cards. I see a few late cards are coming in, so this might not be the last post. However, if you have any feedback or problems, please message me privately.

THANKS for participating!

Val, Thank you for hosting this swap, It was a lot of fun!

Thanks Tammy for the beautiful car and seeds! I could smell their wonderful fragrance as soon as I opened the envelope. I can't wait to grow them in my garden!

I did receive all 5 of my cards . And thank you for the great valentine swap.

You did well.

I received all of my cards, as well. Thank you to everyone who participated and an extra thank you to everyone who sent me cards. Thanks for hosting, Val. It was fun! :)

Glad everyone enjoyed! I am hankering to get out there and dig in the dirt. Spring will be here soon (I Hope!) but we dont plant out til Memorial Day anyway...have started some seeds in doors (in addition to alot of WSing) and running out of room -- still have more I want to do, as I'm sure you all do!

Have a great day, everyone!

I'm excited to start gardening too, but our last frost is about Mother's Day. So I still have a while to wait.

I have already started gardening indoors. Put the seeds in a wet paper towel

They germinate in about 4 days.. In a baggie placed on my hall register.

Then I transplant them into those little finger holders.. I have about 6 done already.

Hibiscus folks gave me germinated quick.. Blue ones an large ones.

Daisys also.. This is inside fun. Now I placed a gro lamp above them.

It is fun to watch whose seeds grow.

I received seeds marked CALENDELABRA in the swap........

Can anyone show me a photo or something on what it is?

I have 2 seeds germinated in papertowels an they are wide an about 2 inches tall........

Only place I found info is Africia............Perennial an 100mm tall ..What is 100mm, in our inches?

Thanks in advance..racetowin
