The variety of seeds is absolutely mind-boggling! I doubt there are many seed catalogs with 2000 seed types. I'm really looking forward to this seed swap. My wishlist just keeps on growing. This is a great way to share your extras and to try new varieties. It's got to be one of the biggest bargains in gardening!

This is probably gonna earn me some coal in my stocking, but I'll risk it. This game is open to everyone. Here are 30 song titles, and your job is to be the first person to correctly post all 30 titles. Each day I will post an update with 1 letter of the alphabet in its correct place within the titles, so be checking back here daily! The first person to correctly post all 30 titles in their correct order will win a music CD with all of the songs on it. There will be no second prize. Anyone involved with this swap, excluding only myself, may try to win. So, get out your thinking caps, play yourself some Christmas music, and have fun!!! I'll be back with the letter "w" tomorrow!

Sheri, the Amaranth has been added to your package. Dawn, I am giving away my extra commercial seeds. I'll add the peppermint stick zinnias to your package. I think you should send xtra postage. I have a lot of collected seeds from your list that I will send if a commercial packet doesn't come in. These DO NOT count towards your swap seeds, they are freebies. If you don't care to receive wish list collected as extra please let me know.
