8th ANNUAL RED, WHITE and BLUE SWAP!

Welcome to the 8th annual, Red, White and Blue Swap!

Jaye has a lot on her plate right now, so I am doing the red white and blue swap.

Can't believe this will be our EIGHTH year honoring this great country of ours! Beloved, USA!! USA!! USA!!
This will bring the fun to our own 4th of July celebration, or just to show our patriotism year round in our home or garden. We can never have enough right?
Putting aside all our political differences, you can't deny how great this country this.

This swap is themed on the colours, red, white and blue.
You can send any ornaments or crafts that include these three colours .
Or you may send 3 items with each having a single colour, but your 3 items must add up to the colors of our proud flag!

Plants can be included as long as they are well established plants, and well rooted, and wrapped properly for shipping. Just add them to your likes or dislikes if you want them or not.

I'm gathering names right now. Last day for adding names will be end of May or earlier, depending on interest.

Let's promote our love for USA..
TEAM USA, TEAM USA!!

Thanks for joining everyone! I have your names added to the list!

me too linda!!!!!!!!!

Hey Liz. Thanks for joining.

I would love to join in!

Hey Nichole, how are you doing. Glad you joined us.

I have changed the plans a little to include plants if you want to send or receive. Just keep them to the red white and blue theme, and mention if you would like to receive or send them.

Not for me LindaKay, no can get across the border either from USA or from Canada

Happy to say though, I was a good girl, knew this swap was coming so got everything I need to fill my box, just have to wait for my name..going to be a long month lol

I sure wish we could send plants over the border.
Maybe some seeds?

It will be a long month, but I want everyone a chance to find us, and sign up.

I will join, but would like ONLY plants.. Or things related to growing plants, like fertilizer, hose repair stuff, gloves, water proof nursery marker, etc. I have too many deco items as it is

Pink can be called red, blue and purple are interchangeable, white is white even if it has a color tinged throat. Annuals or perennials, I like 'em. I like houseplants also, the more unusual the better. I used to have a Tahitian Bridal Veil (white flowers) but it is gone now.

If there is no one interested in sending plants, I will not be offended and will wait til the next swap.

Thanks for joining. I will get your name added to the list.

Thanks for stepping up LK. Truly you are an angel.

I would love to sign up Linda. I really would like some of those red white and blue buntings. I do have a flag already. I even would love an i love usa tshirt. Size large. I have enough plants so no plants for me thanks.

What are buntings?

They are striped red white and blue, long pieces of material with bows tied on them. I do not know how to do a link to show you. But they are very popular around the 4th holiday. Or any patriotic holiday.

Betty, this iss a bunting
