    I'm sending to momcat, Deb I'll be putting yours in the mail today. Had to wait for a few of our 'goodies' to arrive:)

    I just heard from Sonja (happyseed) she'll be sending sassyd's seeds out next week.

  • sassyd
    16 years ago

    Mariann/Sonja thats just fine, no worries. Deb yours are in the arms of the USPS, hope I sent some you'll like. I tried to find some specific's from your list (you have no idea how I've tried, lol) but I think you'll like, hope so anyway.

    Thats why I didn't want anyone to go by my list, I don't have that much on there and certainly not all of what I love, but GW has been mean lately:(

    I think busylizzy should have received her package by now - I sent it out probably about 10 days ago or so. Hopefully if she hasn't already, she will get it soon!

    Mariann,

    I've gotten my goodies from Jeanne (sandlapper_rose). Here's my post:

    Posted by faintheart z4b IA (My Page) on Fri, Jan 18, 08 at 9:51

    Jeanne,
    Thank you SO much for my surprises!!! They couldn't have come at a better time as it is a bit stressful at work with budget time and I need a diversion. :)

    I received Geum 'Lady Stratheden', Stokes Aster, Balloon Flowers, Marigold 'Jaquar', Vitex Chaste tree, and Gladiolus seeds. All are new varieties to me and I am excited to see them grow!!! I absolutely love glads! I've never seen glad seeds and think those will go in a planter so I can bring them in to overwinter and give the corms room to grow. This will be soooo fun!!!

    Thank you, Jeanne!!!

    Thank you again, Jeanne! :)

    Dee,
    Thanks for confirming that I sent seeds to you. I sure thought I had sent them and then I thought maybe my memory was going... LOL

    My apologies Jeanne and Dee. I missed the post.
    Mariann

  • sassyd
    16 years ago

    Oh I'm so sorry too, I thought Dee had received her seeds and just didn't think. lol Jeanne you know we're never worried about you girl.

    Deb, I promise your seeds are on the way hun! You'll see from the envie when you get them, I wasn't going to embarrass myself on the boards, but girl I sent them with not one single piece of postage on them, and didn't realize it until Sunday. I don't usually get to to po except once a week and I'm sure they had been sitting in my po box all week waiting on postage. Anyway, just know, I'm so truly sorry that your partner is an idiot, please forgive.

    Sassy

    btw, I am checking the po everyday this week, lol. I just don't usually get there more than once a week unless expecting something other than bills, lol.

    Anita, its finally almost here, we all love you and are with you all the way girlfriend! Keep that chin up! And when you're sitting in that waiting room tommorrow, you know we're all waiting and praying just for you! Hugs

    Huong,
    Happy to hear that it finally got there. Seemed to take a long time. You are very welcome. I love reading your blog. You do so many interesting things and write so well about them. Have some more fun. I really enjoyed sending to you and chatting with you, too.
    Mary Ellen

  • sassyd

    Deb, have you still not gotten your seeds? Its been 10 days since they were sent (with postage this time, lol) If you haven't please let me know so I can get some more out and Mariann can close out this swap.

    Thanks
    Sassy

  • pixiesluvplants

    Happy, please let me know if you have received your seeds yet or not. You should have received them last week.

    Smiles,

    I got my seeds from Becky, nice flower selection and craft gourds I can't wait to plant, but that darn ground hog says 6 more weeks of winter!
    We have enough ice storms here, 51 accidents in 15 minutes in our county last Tuesday! My mini accident of a 360 into the guard rail gave the school bus kids in front of me a thrill and probably the car behind me! Thankfully, only minor chipped paint and a lose headlight bulb. With school closings and delays I am getting closets cleared out at least, lol.
    I was able to get Mellens packet out January 30th so I hope she gets it this week.
    Sorry for the delay.

    Hummmm, just thought about this but with all the horrible weather in Illinois, Deb may not have internet service?
    Not rushing Deb, I think they're are a few more outstanding.

  • momcat
    16 years ago

    HI, I do have internet. The weather's been bad, but so far no loss of power. Still no seeds in the mail. Hopefully they will find their way here this week.

    -dahlia Victoriana
    -geranium-pink
    -tomato blend
    -Genovese basil
    -long and hot pepper duo
    -fairytale eggplant
    -Romano flat pole beans

    Thanks so much Liz for the nice variety. They will be put to use and enjoyed.

    Thats a great bunch of seeds ya received Mary Ellen, way to go BusyLizzy!

    Marianne have you heard from Sonja? I have emailed her letting her know that I sent her goodie package. I also emailed her just to see if everything was going ok. Ya'll keep Happy in your thoughts and prayers, I don't know her but I gather that she is going through a tough time also and needs some friends.

    Ok NOW......
    If any of ya'll haven't seen ma first bloom from in MNF's My Silly Valentine (where I posted pics of what I now KNOW is a daffy) I posted pics of "her" from this morning when she first started to open up and bloom until this...
    (is ya have seen the pic then I am sorry but I am tickled about it!!!) My First Bulb bloom EVER not to mention this Spring (shhh we don't know its still winter here)

    Pixie-I haven't heard from Sonja. I am keeping her in my thoughts though. By the way, thanks for that little touch of spring. I have a daffodil popping up-way to early here. Don't think it will bloom any time soon.

    Mary Ellen-you received a terrific selection of seeds.

    From what I can determine all seeds have been sent. But not everyone has posted that they have received them. Sassy-did you receive seeds from Sonja/happyseed? I'll email her today when I get a chance.

    Don't forget to vote today.....That is if your state hasn't already voted.

  • sassyd

    No, I hate to say I haven't. But don't keep this swap open because of that. I think she got caught up in something and I hold no hard feelings whatsoever. Happy, please don't think I do. We just worry about you, so don't worry about seeds just let us know you're ok. K?

    Hugs girl!

    Now Deb/Momcat please let us know when you can about receiving from me. Perfect point girls...with the dc confirm #'s. I don't usually with seed, but I messed up.
    Hoping, your weather will allow you to post soon.

    Mariann please don't keep this open for me.

    Hugs to all

    Hi Sassy,

    Still no seeds, but mail delivery has been spotty the past two weeks because of the weather. Hopefully they will arrive soon.

    Deb

  • sassyd
    16 years ago

    Hey Deni, so glad to see you stop by!

    Deb, I'm so sorry, thats just crazy, I mailed them this past Sunday was a week ago (with postage this time). I'm gonna get you some more out, I am really so sick about this. But good thing is, I've been shopping, so maybe you might like these better. I'll put dc on these so we'll know. When the others show up, just keep them all. They haven't been returned to me so you'll get them.

    Again, I'm really sorry about this, I've never had something I sent not show up before and I hope everyone here knows I did send them. But I will get some more out to you asap.

    Sassy

  • beckilove

    Deb - I'm sure they are coming, if they didn't today! I know how excited Sassy was when she told me she could send so many things from your wishlist, so I know she'll be very happy when they get there! (And so will you!) : ) Hope it happens quickly!

    Sassy,
    don't worry, it's not your fault. Things do get sidetracked sometimes with the postal service! I'll keep watching, and I'll try to catch my mailman today, and have him keep an eye out, too. I'm sure they'll show up.

    Deb
