WANTED: New monthly book exchange partners

We are looking for 2 -3 new members to join our monthly garden book exchange. If we don't get at least one more we will have to quit.

You send out two books and get three in return (I add an extra to each of my shipments). Depending on how many members we get will depend when you get the origional books back and would need to replace the books with more of your books. Otherwise the next month you can pass on the books you received this month. So it only takes two books to get books for 4 - 6 months. Books can be on any topic related to gardening.

cost is $3.00 - $4.00 per month for shipping them media mail with delievery confirmation.

This month I sent out book on Roses, Container Gardens, and houseplants.

Books I received from last month was the roses book and a book on Bonsi. Each month it is something new to look forward to at a fraction of the cost of buying the books.

Email me if you want more infomation about sending books for September...

    I can't believe how great it was to have new to us books to review for the whole month. I enjoyed the books that I got in September and they will be on there way next week. Can't wait to see what reading the October mailing will bring me. Thanks to the organizer for such a great idea. What I really like about the exchange is that it allows me the time with books that I may not have ever had the opportunity to explore. I love this exchange.

    Sorry forgot to add my book review.

    this month I am sending out Decoritive accents for the garden - it is very cute and filled with ideas. I feel more confident about books getting returned if we all keep the post updated we will KNOW where all the better books are. So I am sending out one of my favorite books.

    I have done things similar to items on page 19, 26,27, LOVE page 28 and 30 but have not made it yet (that's why I need the book back lol) 38, WANT page 42 reall bad! 48 I have put in my garden, would like to make page 54, did page 71 and it looks GREAT if I may say so myself, 90 is so cute - would like to try it, did page 100 - the lace is REALLY easy, did it to a chair, give it a try! 104, 105, 108 cute cute cute will do with the kids when they are older.

    I laughed so hard at page 108 and 127! Actually I do keep my mints in a baby pool so the roots won't go nuts - would done this had I known about it then. Oh boy anothe project!

    page 130 looks so funny - I like the pot people better not painted.

    page 132 would like to try. page 136 Would like to gage gift this oen to someone else! Funny

    Boy that book was so good, I almost hate to let it out of my hands. lol enjoy reading it and try them. they are simple projects. JUST MAKE sure to use sealer on any painted surface. Enoy
