Feb. FOTESS Anything But Flower Seeds Swap!
Comments (321)I'm glad you all liked the cards! As usual, I had lots of fun making them! And now for some interesting news: In my mail today, there was a returned card and seeds that I had sent to Connie/wildhairedmavens, in the Feb. Swap. Can you imagine how I felt? "Oh no, now what?" was the least of it! But then I got to thinking and I was sure that Connie had posted she received. SO......I checked back in here and yes, she did receive the cards and seeds, the SECOND TIME I sent out! Talk about relief! And it's really strange that the address they couldn't send this card to was the same address I sent the second card to. Oh the mysterious ways of the US Postal System! I guess that all's well that ends well! have a great day, All! Shirley!...See MoreFOTESS-Giving Thanks to our Friends November Swap
Comments (142)Heidi, that white stuff is ugly!!!!! The difference in inches is ridiculous. I find the weather folks get everyone so worked up with their forecasts. Warm weather here today. Put the outdoor decorations up since tomorrow is calling for rain and high winds. Ugh....See MoreFOTESS APRIL ~ Friends of the Earth ~
Comments (155)Congrats Emily. you did win BINGO this month. it was a fun game! Annie, you better watch out, I have your address :) this is exactly what i do with my sister when we get together. we sing all kinds of songs and just laugh. i also wish i had siblings close by but i don't know if we would break quarantine... my family is all in the same state but they are not getting together. so... i may be sitting and karaoke-ing by myself anyways... they drop things off to each other, and wave from the window! love the story about your grandson Margo. you have a lot of patience. you remind me of my motherinlaw. i call my dad for a few minutes but he doesn't talk to me for too long. he's usually busy watching the news or youtube. lol. he is also not visiting grandchildren! love the lilies jayeanne. they are so pretty. i have a ton of lily seeds but i don't plant them because of my cats but i do love how pretty they are. jeanne, i love your recycled project. the blinds as markers is a good idea. i like the baggies you made. those are cute. i love to sew and worked on some masks, a blanket and me and the little one made a "bed" for the kitties. she pushed the pedal while i guided the fabric. she was happy to tell her father that she made it all by her self with help from mom. also for my recycling project I decided to use my old airline bags as board game piece storage. there are so many little pieces with each game that its best to keep them in bags. i use zip locks but they still seem to open up, so the idea of using these zip up pouches from international flights are great for storage. here are some pics - i think we have a few more days in April, so I will try to post tomorrow. I know that Jeanne was planning on posting early, but she has a lot going on with the tree damage. However as soon as she posts, we can wrap April up! Emily, I will send you your BINGO prize soon!...See MoreFOTESS Thankful Thanksgiving with Friends

3 years agoMargo, I received mail today! And I'm so happy I feel like singing & planting now - Tra-la-la! 🎵 ❤ 📬
I received Palmarosa, which sounds so interesting and smells of Roses! China houses, mixed snapdragons which I've never grown. Mixed colors of Columbine & Chinese Kale (Yod Fah?). Thanks so much, Margo for resending.
I hope whoever received the other seeds plants them.
📢 Thanks, Margo! 📢

3 years agoI got mail.....LOL!!
I just brought in the mail. Urooj sent me a lovely card and lovely Sweet William seeds. Thank you very much!! I will give these a plant tomorrow.
I am laughing...laughing....laughing.....The postmark on Urooj's envelope is Feb 19, yes Feb 19!! I would so love to know where this card has traveled or rested for that matter. I wonder if it went overseas or simply stayed comfy and cozy in a where ever post office. I will say the envelope is in perfect condition, which would lead me to believe it really has not moved much....LOL!!OH MY!! As they say better late than never.
Happy Eve.....February Fotess continues on. I think there are still a few people waiting for cards.
