NEW: obf march days swap

Hey, It's Almost March!
Time for the March OBF Swap!color>

Our Bloomin' Friends requires that you be a member of OBF in order to participant in this swap. If you would like more information about membership, please contact Shirley or Carol.

I'm choosing 4 special days in March.
Please choose 2 of these 4 days and send items relating to them to your partner. Don't tell us which 2 you choose, let it be a surprise for your partner.

The first 2 days were so easy to choose, the others, well, I had fun finding them.

1. St. Patrick's Day. I love that we are all Irish for a day! March 17th.
2. The Vernal Equinox - Ah, spring! Time to plant those bulbs! March 20th at 12:57 PM EDT.
3. Purple Day. March 26th.
4. The Pencil with an Eraser Head was patented on March 30th 1858.

St. Patrick's day and Purple items are everywhere, have fun!
I would suggest if you love a certain type of bulb you run to your GW trade page and post them there. Also, I would think that non-flowering bulbs are ok too ... garlic, onion.
I'm not going to suggest what you should send your partner for choice #4, use your imagination. LOL
Bought or homemade items are all GOOD!

Sign ups for this swap will be till March 7
Partners assigned March 8th.
Please mail your package so it will get to your partner in time for the Special Days you have chosen.

Games will appear .......

    Shirley, yes orange is my favorite color. You move onto round 2.

    2 more questions left for Round 1.

    GOING MAD IN MARCH - GW STYLE
    Round one - Question 5

    We have been shoveling our driveway by hand this year, so the snow has been piling up high, not being spread out with a snowblower.
    How High are our piles of snow In Feet only (no inches) at the end of our driveway?

    Nice box Annie! I just want to say to all who have sent and are sending things to Stoney Matthew, we are receiving and he is quite cheered up by this! He isn't a lot better, but we have about 50 lab tests still pending from the oncologist, blood disorder, and infectious control drs.. So hopefully we will know something this week. He still can't go to school, or do any sports, or actually anything strenuous right now. It's sad, but he really doesn't feel like it anyway! Just wanting to thank you all, but he will also when all is said and done. Thanks again so much! Hope everyone has a wonderful evening (what is left of it) and a great day tomorrow! Night, Melinda

    Beth, I have your package ready to be mailed tomorrow so I hope it makes it there in good time and you like everything. This was a fun swap!
    I don't think I've posted a picture of my new granddaughter Miranda here for OBF, Today she is one week old. Yesterday she was wearing her Gamecock outfit, but she looks pretty sleepy so I don't think she watched much of the game on TV.
    So glad Stoney is enjoying the mail. I have him in my thoughts and prayers.

    Melinda, it must be hard waiting and Stoney not feeling well. We are happy to play a small part in making the wait go by just a little faster.

    Annie, what a great box from Jayeanne.
    Sharon

  • Melinda Hagen

    Jeanne, what a beautiful granddaughter!
    They are so perfect at that age! All you want to do is kiss, hug, and cuddle them!
    Yes, it is hard waiting. If all these 50 or so tests don't show something, I don't know what we'll do. You want them to show nothing, but you want something also! I'm praying for something easily treatable,of course!
    Everyone have a wonderful Sunday with your family, in your yard, or whatever makes you happy! Big Hugs, Melinda

    I mailed your package today. The post office receipt says it should be delivered on March 17. I totally forgot to get a tracking number. If it gets lost, I will send another package. It was just one of those days!

    Thanks, everyone, for the compliments on Miranda. She does look like a sweet baby. I hope to get up to NC to meet her later this week.
