    Don (dem_pa) sent me very beautiful red hens n chicks with a beautiful card for secret santa swap. He decided to send them in March instead of December because of cold.

    These are stunningly pretty and I am so excited and glad. They were in my want list and it was a pleasant surprise. Thanks to Don for taking time to sending these pretty succulents and that also in very generous amount.

    Here is picture of them:

    For this year's SSS, dem_pa sent me a great assortment of seeds within a festive card. Peony poppies, 'Will Rodgers' zinnia, horehound, and calendula. I had low hopes for receiving two of the types included since I rarely see anyone looking for them, but surprised was I when I opened the card! Thank you a ton!

    I received a lovely padded envelope from Don (dem_pa) as part of the Secret Santa Swap. The card was a cute homemade one. But the real treasure is the wonderful things you've filled it with - all perfectly picked out for my garden next year. I really appreciate the care you take to pack everything so carefully and pick perfectly!

    Don,...gotta admit, I definitely feel special to have received one of your wonderfully creative button-ornament Christmas cards for the 2014 Secret Santa Seed Swap, along with the fabulous seeds you included! Thank you so very much, good Sir! So far as I'm concerned, you are most certainly a major component of GardenWeb's very spine itself! Wishing you a fabulous 2015 in every way conceivable! :)
