Evening everyone!
That was quick, Patti. Can't take credit for your card that was made by a lady on Etsy. Most but not all the seeds I sent will produce the color of blooms Susie wanted us to share with our Valentines. Extras were included trying to make up for that. Many were harvested from my gardens. You'll enjoy those gloves, they are workhorses that can be thrown in the wash and air dried. I'm glad you're so pleased with everything ♥
Hope you had a good day, Susie.
CLOSED: ♥♥♥♥♥ BE A VALENTINE ♥♥♥
Shirley I got your box of Valentines yesterday! What a nice surprise it was!
Even the box was decorated, she sent a beautiful homemade card with a flower on it, 4 packets of seeds, lots of chocolate hearts, and mint candies, and a rock that say's "surround yourself with friendship". It is so nice, and those choccies are really yummy!
Thanks so much for the wonderful Valentine!

Not from me,Linda. Must be some other Crystal?
I got a box today also. It was from sbish5 (Shirley) and it looks similar to what you got, Linda! I am so pleased. The card is so cute! I am going to try to remember that next time I need a card. Opening it was so fun because the box was all decorated in flowers. I always hate to throw the beautiful catalogs away, and this si such a good idea. I started right in on the candy, and had to stop myself til after I took the picture. My rock says "Lose yourself in nature and find peace". I am using it for a paperweight. (My whole area around the computer needs paper weights. I use them to organize. Well, somewhat.) the seed cover everything a person could want-perennial mix,flower garden mix, Cottage garden, and snapdragons. Thanks so much, Shirley! It's a great Valentine!
So sorry, I posted the wrong name, it was from Shirley.
I corrected the post above.

No heartfelt goodies in our mail today, just a bunch of junk mail that went in the fire.
Had the timer set to tune to the Westminster dog show at 8. Meant to ask you Betty if you're feeling better and if your sister is competing again this year.
Yes Sharon American Eskimo is competing in the non-sport..if he wins best of breed he will have broken a record I believe for best in breed 7 years running..think it's 7 perhaps 6
Wanted to watch, still in bed with flu, headache galore sooo if he wins let me know
Wishing your Sister all the luck in the show!
Inuk led off the non-sporting group competition, Betty.
A Bichon won best in that group though, followed by the Standard Poodle, French Bulldog and Tibetan Spaniel.
Ahh sorry to hear that, Sharon will be disappointed!
Mine is going out today...sorry, a day late, but my son broke his foot and I didn't get to the PO. Heading there now!

I did not get seeds,,, however I got a card today that told me I could just wait till thursday to get my gifts... Roflmwo... Love the card Crystal. It is too funny that we both got each other for this swap. And I also have her for the other Valentine swap,, so she is getting lots of presses all in one day.!!!!!!
I can save the postage, and that I get to see one of my favorite people to.
Goobers card and seeds will be late. Her mom forgot to get the card and so when I get there on Thursday night we will get one and also send out her seeds too.
My Gryphon is 15 today!!!! They grow up so fast. Well got to go, these boxes aren't packing themselves.... Sigh...
I received a handmade card from Susie filled with packages of seeds,and a beautiful hand crochet pot holder. Thank Susie for all the wonderful seeds ,and beautiful card. I really love the pot holder too. I just love handcrafted item. Everytime I use it I will think of you. Thank you.
Patti
