Since the kids wanted to post a wish list, I am putting up a new thread, for you to post "wish lists", and thank you's for when the cards are received. OK....all kids are encouraged to post a wish list, with the parents help ofcourse, and YES, please post them NOW..and if there is an update right before the bday, you can do an add on if necessary. Posting a wish list NOW, will help the kids be able to "shop" or harvest seeds for their garden buddies. |

| Hi Kids! I am posting this list on behalf of Ezra, who isn't old enough to use the computer yet. Beans - Yellow green beans, Red Noodle beans Marigolds - red ones He had a lot of fun looking through catalogs and making his wishlist! His birthday is a few months away though. I'll bet he'll be so surprised when he actually gets a birthday card in the mail! His older brother will post his own list later. Signed, |

| Well, I sure started something here! My 3 grandsons have been looking at seed catalogs for days!! The youngest is still deciding what he wants and I will post then. The middle one is easy! Now the oldest loves to eat and loves all veggies-what we didn't grow before we used to buy at the farmer's market each spring every week! So this year we are going to do spring and fall garden just so he can grow the things he likes to eat! There is no way I can get all the items he likes! We just left home depot earlier and he got 10 packs of things he had to have! Thanks goodness the others went home with Dad!! So here goes (not sure if there is a limit but he copied all these by himself so will put them up!). Trying to put in categories. Austin May 5th BD-he'll be 13! Now for the other one- The little one is still thinking on what he wants. Will post that when I get him to decide. |

| Micah has been looking through the seed catalogs for days now. We have started a wish list under my page. It is called Micah's Wish List under the seed section. He just finished Gardening Merit Badge for Boy Scouts. He did all the gardening last summer but didn't do the paperwork. Now he is finished! |

| Oh my gosh! I just committed the ultimate crime! I didn't post Austin's most wanted things before the others! I totally forgot as they weren't wrote down! He said I should know them by heart as he has asked for them forever! So here are some add-on's for Austin May 5th BD- venus fly trap any carnivorous seeds-he wants to grow one big enough to eat his brothers! cactus and unusual succulents Thanks, Melinda (for my grandson so he doesn't stay mad at me forever!) |

| Stoney Matthew laughed at his Happy Birthday on here! He really liked that! Thanks Kym! Also thanks to Bonnie's kids for the homemade bd card, tattoos, and seeds! He was thrilled! First thing he asked when he came in yesterday to see me was have I got any seeds yet! I've been hearing that for weeks and I kept telling him it wasn't his bd yet! He was going to take them home and plant them today after school he said. He got cucumbers, mini white and orange pumpkins, squash, and something else! I don't remember! Sorry! Anyway, he thanks you alot! Melinda (Stoney Matthews grandma) |

| Could someone please send me all the kids birthdays and addresses for the entire year. I have been so overwhelmed with my husband's health issues I completely forgot about the kids swap. I would like Jordan to make a batch of cards for the year so I can just send when they are due. Sorry we missed some birthdays but I bet the kids will still enjoy a late card. Kim |

- Posted by highalttransplant z 5 Western CO (My Page) on Tue, Apr 28, 09 at 15:12
| Melinda, I'm glad he liked everything! Elijah and Ezra have already made a card for Austin too. I just need to go through my seed boxes, and see what I have on his wishlist. It will probably go out on Friday. Jamie, you may want to send Kym (Flwrs4ever) an email in case she doesn't see your post, since she is hosting this swap. Bonnie |

| Just an update. I heard from Nikkineel that Sarah Kate received her card, and Austin's went in the mail today. Melinda, keep in mind these are boys making these cards, so don't expect any pictures of flowers, or butterflies LOL! Bonnie |
|
| Bonnie, Sarah Kate was absolutely thrilled to receive the seeds. When I came here to post, it made me realize that my previous post did not go through. I've had some gw issues lately but I think they are all fixed now:) Bonnie sent Sarah Kate vanilla ice sunflowers, teddy bear sunflowers, dianthus magic mix. I am going from memory here Bonnie so I know I didn't list them all. Happy to report that she has sprouts on the sunflowers and wants to Fall sow the dianthus. Lisa (ishareflowers) also sent Sarah Kate a card and seeds that we received over the weekend. She sent Columbine dragonfly, dianthus, and painted daisy seeds! She was really excited and even went online to see pics! Thanks for making Sarah Kate's birthday really special! Nik |

| I want to say a big Thanks to Bonnie's son's for the birthday cards that my grandson Austin received! It had tons of seeds in it and he was very thrilled! Most are already planted! So sorry can't remember them all , but there were ALOT! And the homemade cards to them have been great! Sorry so late in thanking you! From Austin by his grandma, Melinda |

| Hi guys! I'm bumping this thread up, because I just realized that we have a June birthday - Talla. The kids will get a card out to her, but I'm afraid it will be a few days late. BTW, how old will she be? Also, I'm wondering if some of the kids that posted lists several months ago, and have birthdays coming up, might want to update their wishlists? So ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TALLA! and check your mailbox : ) Bonnie |
|
- Posted by ilovefarac z6 AR (My Page) on Fri, Jul 24, 09 at 10:10
| Just wondering if anyone is still doing this and has any birthday's besides Tanner in July? Could just one person send to Tanner as his birthday was July 9 and his 2 brothers got seeds on theirs. He has been asking when his seeds will be coming. If you decide to do this please email me for addy! Thanks, Melinda |
|
- Posted by highalttransplant z 5 Western CO (My Page) on Fri, Jul 24, 09 at 11:50
| Melinda, my kids didn't make any cards yet this month, but aren't motivated to do so, since Ezra's birthday was on the 13th, and he didn't get a single card after making them every month for other children. It appears that those with children earlier in the year, are no longer participating. Very disappointing for a five year old. Bonnie |
|
- Posted by ilovefarac z6 AR (My Page) on Fri, Jul 24, 09 at 15:51
| Bonnie, I sincerely apologize for missing your son's BD. I do understand how he feels as that is how Tanner feels also! I had surgery the first of the month and wasn't on very much! So my grandsons haven't been here much to help do this with me. I will be happy to send a belated one if you will send me the addy! Thanks, Melinda |
|
- Posted by highalttransplant z 5 Western CO (My Page) on Fri, Jul 24, 09 at 17:41
| Melinda, that comment was not directed at you personally. There are half a dozen other folks that signed up to participate in this swap, and he didn't receive a card from any of them either. If you are willing to send one to Ezra, I'll get the boys to make one for Tanner too. I'm pretty sure I still have your address, but I will email you mine. Bonnie |
|
- Posted by ilovefarac z6 AR (My Page) on Fri, Jul 24, 09 at 17:54
| Bonnie, I am sure it wasn't meant personally to me either. I just understand how he feels and I have felt really bad about being out of the loop for the last 2 months. Things are better now and I would love to continue for the kids. And for the adults birthday swap also. Thanks and would love to have the addy! Melinda |
|
- Posted by ilovefarac z6 AR (My Page) on Sun, Aug 2, 09 at 18:45
| Just wanted to say Thank You so much from Tanner to Bonnie and her son Ezra for the great birthday card and 4 packs of seeds and tattoos for him. He was thrilled with them all! Appreciate making his day!! Thanks a million, Melinda (Tanner's grandma)
|

- Posted by highalttransplant z 5 Western CO (My Page) on Wed, Aug 5, 09 at 13:49
| Ezra received his card yesterday. Thank you so much for the seeds, candy, and the card game. The beans and sunflowers are perfect for his little hands to sow! It's amazing how much more interested kids are in eating vegetables that they helped grow! Thanks again, your thoughtfulness is appreciated! Bonnie |
