Hello All,
Susie invited me to join a couple of weeks ago, and this is my first time to check in. She mentioned the box would arrive possibly around Dec 20, and I have been madly cleaning and packing seeds. If the box were to arrive tomorrow, I have enough seeds prepared that I could mail it off to the next person in the next business day.
Soooo, if I have begun checking in on the thread too late, that's all right - I understand. I have to keep my seeds on one floor of our house and the computer on the floor above, so it's hard to visit on 'pooter and work on the seeds at the same time.
Anyhoo, this swap looks like fun and I hope I have not made my appearance too late.
Question: Is it possible to designate seeds to each other in an envelope marked for them and put it in the box when mailing it, with a pretty good chance of said recipient getting his/her envelope of seeds?
Thanks again for the invite Susie and not to worry if I have posted here too late.

susie
Hi Karen,
I'm watching and waiting for our robin and I'll be sending it your way - maybe as early as next weekend. Welcome.
Donna
The robin is on it's way to Anita!! I wasn't able to make it to the post office after work yesterday like I planned, but I was there when they opened this morning. My daughter is moving in to her first apartment, and was waiting for me to get home from work, so she could borrow my van. She promised to have it back quickly, but by the time she got home, it was too late for the post office.
It's really amazing the amount of seeds packed in to that box!! Great variety!! This is one of the best robins I've been in!!
Deb
Ty Deb & isn;t it fun to sit at your kitchen table or middle of living room floor & search through the variety :) i'm already searching for seed
specials for next fall to share .;) hope everyone is haven a great weekend it is rainy here today very cool so staying in playing games
between laundry loads :) love this one hope it comes in for ya .
anyone like mah jong http://www.freegames.ws/games/boardgames/mahjong/freemahjong.htm
I love majong. I play on pogo. They have one with animal tiles that I love.
this one is full screen no commercials , play online or off any time . & more of a challenge. once you make a move that is it :) no way to undo.
Hi karen
Glad that you are here!!!
Susie, my bad - I didn't get the robin in flight this morning - but it will give me a little more time to go through my stash and see what I can add in. I will post a pic of my beautiful breeches very soon.
I'm having a lot of fun playing with the seeds, staying up late and looking up stuff on DG!
Hi Debra and George, nice to see old gardening & trading cronies here too. Are you two the ones who enabled Corey & Poisondartfrog? just kidding - I think the passion for gardening & trading just comes naturally, although I believe enablers exist because some folks just don't know how mesmerizing various aspects of gardening can be.
Thank you all for the warm welcome.
It's frigid outside. Dh and I just spent some time looking for the hose nozzle to wash off some dahlia roots before we store them for the winter in our cellar. We turned everything upside down looking for that nozzle. First one to guess where it was gets some Black Peony Poppy seeds earmarked for him/her when I send the box onwards. Any one want to guess?
karen
Donna, next weekend will be perfect - I'll have more seeds ready for it. Should I be dmailing you my address?
Don't tell me Karen, was it on the end of the hose hehe.
George, you're CORRECT! You have now won a pack of Black Peony Poppy, which you eventually would have gotten anyway :) Methinks the only prize dh & I get would be some kind of booby prize...a pack of dandelion seeds? lololol
Well, hopefully once I get past a certain couple of seed swaps, I can focus on decluttering and organizing around here. I may not play games on purpose, but I love to lose myself in a mystery - so those will be off-limits until better order is established around here. (My favorite mystery writer is Elizabeth George, in case anyone else loves the genre and might have more suggestions of their favorite authors?)
Hey Karen I had an unfair advantage, finding my reading glasses too often on top of my head hehe!
Now for those North Carolina Breeches I promised: Well done MrsSpeedsGarden!
adorable! so creative!!
that is fine george is no problem Monday is fine . Let us Know how you enjoyed this robin or if you think we can improve on it :)
karen won't be long now & You will be able to enjoy the fun:) Hope you have lotsa coffee or Hot cocoa :)
susie
OMG How Funny Those are just way too cute Just what I Need for these cold Mich Nights :) HEHE thank you for sharing with us .
Susie, a cup of coffee, box of seeds and all the thous on this thread oughta make my day next weekend - looking forward to it very much.
There is a dg member who says her dh dresses to avoid arrest, I'm trying to imagine how those breeches would look in a police line-up? too cute lolol
Shirley I'm sure my Mom will get a big kick out of those too. She will be 81 this month and really appreciates that kind of creativity. I don't think those are going to be seeing any dirty dishes anytime soon :)
George...So glad you liked the breeches....I bought that one as a pattern and now make them. Very talented folks who think up these crafts. Thanks for the picture so others could see. I hope to make all my Aunts and Mom a pair of breeches for Christmas. LOL
Shirley
WOW Shirley that is fantastic. No pressure to perform, George. ;)
Can't wait and can't believe I'm next!
A.
yep Amanda you are up next on the list . mail is going to be moving slower now so please DBL CHECK That the address lables are on right & THAT The CONF # Is intact & that you send me the conf# that you are using . make sure all baggies are back into the robin before closing it up .
well off to get my day going will check back in later
susie
Shirley, Those britches are so CUTE! LOVE 'em.
ME
Susie, I'm all packed up here and ready to go to the PO in the morning. I have to tell you that I practically had to sit on the box to get it shut!! Well the 2nd time anyway. The first time I got it all taped up and ready to go and looked over and saw your pack of stuff on the table, I thought how in the world am I going to get that in there. But I did and everything worked ok. Your labels and seedpacks have not yet been used, but I went ahead and add another pack of seedpacks just in case. I really enjoyed the robin. It was lots of fun and I got a lot of seeds that I will use this year, and put some in that I hope everyone will enjoy. (I tried not to duplicate too much). Amanda keep your eyes on the treetops hehe
Thanks Mellen...glad you like them
Shirley
Shirley, I am planning to serve your black walnut cake to guests this weekend coming. Thank you again for the instructions.
Karen, don't be so quick to disparage the lowly dandelion. I have been looking for the white flowered race for a few years now. I don't suppose anyone has that one tucked away?
Alana
white dandlelion ???? ours are yellow but they turn to a white fluffy seed ball & Fly all over around here come digg up all you want this spring :)
Are we still using the same MED FLATE RATE Box I Started with ??? How is it looking ?? we might have to change to a new type
of package for or robin PLEASE LMK . well off to town back later .
susie
Taraxacum albidum to be specific, just in case someone has it.
The box was in pretty good shape when it left here. It's been taped over quite a bit, but it's holding up pretty well. I noticed that my post office had good a supply of the flat rate boxes available in the lobby.
Deb
Deb I picked up one (medium flat rate box) from the post office and it was different from the one the came here. That one opened at the end, and the one I got opened at the top, so the shape was a little different, but it worked out fine.
I also want to take a minute to sing a little praise for Mechelle. She added a LOT of expensive nursery seeds to make the robin better and it was GREAT!! Not to mention the many different seeds she added from her own garden and stash. Thank you so much Mechelle. I love herbs and they are always at the top of the list for my planting. I pray that your nursery will be blest greatly for your gift. That doesn't take away from the many many seeds that Suzie added; there is a great vareity of seeds and a lot of fun to go through. You guys obviously put a lot of effort in to make this Robin a success and you did just that. YOU ROCK!
Oh yes, the robin took flight this morning and is on the way to see Amanda. Have fun!!
