Thank you as well. I greatly appreciate the consideration in making a homemade card for the exchange. And great seeds as well. Laura

In Secret Santa Swap I received a beautiful black card with matching black envelope from MissyGA64--handmade and fun! She had the cutest seed envelopes made out of craft paper and neatly folded--Coreopsis Grandiflora, Rudbeckia Triloba and Joe Pye Weed. Oh the anticipation of spring!!! She's a top-notch swapper.

I received a beautiful homemade snowman card from MissyGA64 in the Secret Santa Seed Swap. It was filled with lettuce (Rossa Di Trento, Red Leprecaun) Carrots (Napoli & Kaleidoscope mix), and tomatoes.

Thank you!

Received a beautiful handmade card with seeds for the 2013 SSS. Thank you so much.

Thank You for the Christmas card and seeds in the 2013 Secret Santa Swap.

MissyGA64 sent me a Secret Santa card with a snow scene done with white paint on velvety-black, stiff paper and touches of glitter. I know, from personal tussles in "crafting" my own SS cards with red glitter over poinsettas, how hard it is to do this so elegantly - mine would have been better saved for Alana's next Halloween swap - but I digress. Looking at Missy's card, with such a sharp contrast between velvet black and glittery, ghostly white, I thought I could have been looking at a Hiroshige woodcut of a snow scene during the Japanese Edo period.

Beautiful, Missy - thank you - and I shall enjoy the thyme.

(The woodcut I saved from the University of Michigan that illustrates what I'm talking about, is now represented by a different scan that mutes these contrasts, sadly, into a pervasive gray. I don't know what they were thinking to switch to a scan like that. Anyhoo, Hiroshige (1797-1958) is said to have achieved his starry effects with broken mica, and although I can't find a good scan for this particular point, his work can be found here: http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/hiroshige_ando.html .)

I received a great card and wonderful seeds from Missy this year in the 2013 Secret Santa Swap. Thank you for sharing holiday cheer!

Missy was part of For the Kids Seed Swap 2014 in Round Robin. She followed all directions and was a pleasure to swap with! Thanks!
