| Hello All; I sent my box today, priority mail but just realized that I went to the Post Office rather than on line and did not get a confirmation number. I have very little faith in them anyway so I am not concerned. If by some chance it does not make it, I can send another. diene |
|
| sweetkitten, it says your box was delivered, was everything okay???? |

| Hi ladies - I tried to get mailing info for everyone who signed up for this swap, but less then half sent theirs. Look on your pals members page to get an e-mail addy. Hopefully, one will be available. Diene - I haven't received your box yet, but I think it is because less than half the HWY's into Iowa are currently closed do to the storm. I will post as soon as it arrives. Boy, some of you gals are on the ball! Have a great weekend, |

| Hi Micke Yes I got your package. Sorry I didn't post sooner,but it has been a eventful week. Every thing arrived in great shape The children have staked claims on some of the items. The beaded necklaces made a big hit. The 12 girl has a GS sleepover on St.Paddy Day,and plans to deck out withsome of the items of the box. The lucky bamboo was in good shape. There so much in the package. |
|
| I have emailed asaylor again for her address.Is there anyone else here having a problem getting their partner to respond? I just don't know what else to do but this is very disappointing for me. moonphase |

- Posted by cheri_2007 7 (ghiacat@comcast.net) on Sat, Mar 3, 07 at 7:35
| i too have been trying to get my partners email-(pattex) perhaps maybe because she is new her page has no info---i have a very nice package ready to go and would like to exchange with someone---if anyone else is having trouble with their partner i'd be willing to send out to them- and if in the end i do get the info from pattex i will hold up the end of the bargain and send out to her as well...moonphase perhaps you may be interested seeings you are having trouble getting your partners info..??---this is my first time and i didn't want to start any trouble by changing any rules---let me know if its a problem....st. pattys day is coming and i love getting/sending mail....thanks cheri karras |
|
| cheri,I would love to exchange with you.I too almost have my package ready to go.Email me and if its ok,Is it hummingbirddaisy??? since you are our host and I do not want to over step you here.Please let us know.Cheri,I will send you my address and send me yours and then if asaylor decides to send,she can send to your partner.Is this ok? moonphase |

If they happen to appear, they can send to each other. diene - I received your lovely box today. 2 candy bars - yummy (one is already gone:-)) Tina |
|
| sweetkitten, I am so glad you got the box okay, I have horrors of boxes being delivered to next door neighbors or next state neighbors, lol!! I was worried about the bamboo as well, I got myself one of those sets too, got a bamboo a couple of months ago and ever since then I have been hooked on them, figured they are called Lucky so it kinda goes with Luck o' the irish, right? glad your children had some fun with it too:) micke |
|
| cheri please email me at Ladydesireus@yahoo.com.I can not get your email to go through.Please send me your address.I am not sure why.I can see if hummingbird daisy will forward you my address if we can't get through.I am excited about having a St.Patty's partner.And thank you for offering to switch.

| Annette and Cheri - Have you two been able to get in contact with each other yet? Rosie - Sounds like you are going to be sending out a treasure of a box! Shirley - What a lovely box you received. Hope it brightened your day some. I know these days are long, but they will get better. I promise. The missing part will never go away, but the hurt will get more tolerable as time goes on. I know, sounds so full of malarky, but it is true. |
|
| I have not heard from cheri.I can not get through to her.I use internet explorer and she has outlook express. I am not sure how to contact her.I hope she will email me. moonphase |
|
| Hello All; I have this lovely book that a friend gave me years ago called "Irish Blessings" so I thought I would share one a day for the rest of the month. "God needed laughter in the world, So he made the Irish race, For they can meet life with a smile And turn a happy face" Hope everyone has a 'happy face' today!! diene |

| Nancy, I got your wonderful box tonight. Okay if I report tomorrow night? I just got home from a long day. I did use your box to pack your things in so your box of goodies will be mailed tomorrow. DC# is 0305 1720 0001 3914 3995. Mary Ellen |
|
| Mary Ellen,I am happy to hear the box arrived already.That was pretty fast : )I will now be stalking my postman the next few days.Happy St Patricks Day : ) Nancy |
|
| Sue (sguanzon), your box went out yesterday and the confirmation number is 0305 0830 0002 5944 7408. I hope you like it!! Paula |
|
| Rosie, I went to send out your box today and realized I didnt have your house number. The PO wouldnt take it without. Please email the house number. Thanks, |
|
| Nancy, I am picturing you stalking your postman in my mind and it is very funny. Go for it! I want to thank you for a lot of cool and fun gifts. Some of them I can't WAIT to wear to school!!! First of all there is the HUGE green and white beaded necklace with a flag that has a shamrock on it, another big flag that has Irish written on it, 2 big shamrocks, plus at the bottom a humongous green shamrock that turns on and lights up psychedelic-like. WooHoo!!! It will drive the kids bonkers. I can't wait! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! Then there is a green pin that lights up with the words Happy St. Patrick's Day written on it. And another pin that if you hold it one way the leprechaun is smiling holding out a foamy beer, hold it another way and he is drinking the beer, and hold it aNOTher way, and he is frowning 'cuz the beer is all gone. :((( These are all way too fun and cute. Then there is the cutest little green teddy bear that I will take with me to school, too. He is holding a big shamrock. It is just darling. I bet he will be passed around an cuddled a lot. In addition to all of this, Nancy also sent a black-eyed Susan vine and a forget-me-not grow kit. In each little box, is a tiny terra cotta planter, a soil pellet that you add water to, and the seeds that you plant. I will start these tonight, Nancy, and will see what happens. How fun! BTW, I love BOTH of those plants, too!!! I just had to laugh out loud when I saw the seeds that you sent--green envy zinnia and bells of Ireland. How clever of you. When you get your box, you will see why I laughed. AND why I think you are so "clever." LOL The other gift included in this wonderful box is a Hanging Butterfly Garden. This will be a lot of fun to try, too. The box has an 8" diameter hanging basket, coconut potting soil that you add water to, and seeds for flowers that butterflies love. Nancy, what a grand idea. I will be putting this together in the next few days, too. Thank you so much for all of the great, and fun, and wonderful gifts. There is so much enjoyment in this box, and I will be spreading this fun around, too. Nancy, you are the best!!! Many, many thanks, Mary Ellen |

| hay buddy your box is on the way, I have the DC# in my purse but I'm trying to get the boys to sleep and I don't want to go get it right now. I hope you like it. michelle |

| I KNEW I would forget to list something....diene also sent me some daff's!!! Can never have enough daffs in the spring! I'm so happy to hear about everyone enjoying their boxes! It's so enjoyable to share with each other, and to read about each others new treasures. Tina |
|
| Wish for today: " May you always have these blessings.... A soft breeze when summer comes- A warm fireside in winter- And always - the warm, soft smile of a friend." Today is my little sister's birthday and I remember how excited I was when she was born. I have never regretted having her in my life. |
|

| Michelle- your package went out today: DC # 0304 3490 0001 1790 4003 And when I got back from town today, yours was hanging on my mailbox! Wonderful long-neck watering can (how'd you know I needed one of these? I'm forever slopping water all over the place with the tupperware cup!) Bells of Ireland & Zinnia Green Envy seeds, and Birdhouse gourds- VERY good! I wanted to try the BoI again this year- had kinda lousy luck with them last year. Green Envy will ALWAYS have a home in my yard- this year I think I'll mix them with the purple, white and yellows, and my son will def LOVE the gourds! |
|

Thank you so much:) lots of goodies, I got a bag of irish creme coffee (hubby made off with that, his hands are quicker then mine)A Package of peanut brittle (and the GOOD brittle too, not that flimsy stuff they call brittle) I did finally wrestle that back:) also there was, Irish stickers, shamrock headband, Shamrock pin and earrings, Shamrock Lei, St. pat hair scrunchi, Shamrock pen, Leperchaun pen, windchimes, bag of spearmint candy, a decorative shamrock that if I can get by with it I am going to hang it from my rearveiw window:) Jar of St. Paddy day cocoa with green marshmallows (what a neat idea!) ceramic birdhouse, glass decorative shamrock. thank you so much:) and it really got here fast didn't it? the Postal service was on the ball with this one:) micke |
|

|
|
| hello tina those glasses are deffinantly me, how did you know? I'm happy you got your box so fast. If you have not grown the gourds before, it is fun to grow them on a (sturdy) trellis or fence. last year I trained mine up over my chicken run, and it was soooo cool to walk out and have them hanging over my head, and they come out very round and symetrical when they are hanging. glad you enjoyed the box michelle |
|
| Cheri,I mailed your box today.I sent it priority at USPS.The confirmation # is 03061070000349123306. I really hope you enjoy your gifts.This was so much fun for me. moonphase |
|
| Well, I got my box today!!!!! Thank you so much Sue! There was a wonderful bath basket and green shell soaps, which matches perfectly for the guest bathroom. A little basket filled with goodies for my daughter, green hair ties, shamrock shoe laces, shamrock garland, and a bunch of stickers which she has already plastered all over her shirt ; ) A book about Irish Traditions, which looks very cool. A magnetic notepad, and a journal which is perfect because I was just looking for one today and didn't buy one ; ) Some garden gloves, photo book, a sweet little garden bag, a cute little Irish notepad with Irish sayings and an Irish blessing plaque. If that wasn't enough, she also included all kinds of seeds that I cannot wait to plant like Bells of Ireland (of course). Wow, thank you so much Sue....I hope you enjoy your box as much as I do. Thanks to our wonderful hostess for putting this together!! |

| Hello All; I keep forgetting to put in a wish a day but maybe a wish when I remember will be more accurate. "Here's wishing you the tops o' life Without a single tumble Here's wishing you the smiles o' life And not a single grumble Here's wishing you the best o' life And not a flaw about it Here's wishing you all the joy in life And not a day without it." diene |

| Deb~ Never to busy to post when I get a box. I got your box today.. I am going to have to update everyone on the last 4 digits to our zip.. I guess there is a highlnad ct, highland circle and highland Court. and there is a 3771 on two of them... so someone else who is very nice gets much of our mail.. the box appeared retaped so I hope that I list everything. Deb, thanks thanks thanks.. I got the coolest.. Basket o' seeds.. I got a super cute green basket full of many seeds that I am dying to try. She also sent me a great shamrock suncatcher, that is now in my front window. A very nice kitchen soap in green. Thanks so much I can't wait to start looking the seeds up.. I will send your package monday. Laura |
|
- Posted by debbya z4IL (da1763@aol.com) on Sun, Mar 11, 07 at 1:45
| Laura, I wish I would of wrote everything down I sent. I know I also included St. Patrick's Day stickers, and St. Patrick's Day napkins, bookmark. I swore I also included a green windcatcher? Did it look as though someone rummaged through it? I had my fingers crossed that the glass shamrock suncatcher wouldn't break. I'm glad it didn't. Deb |
|
- Posted by hummingbirddaisy 5a (My Page) on Sun, Mar 11, 07 at 20:53
| Sounds like everyone is receiving great St. Patrick's Day surprises! Diene - I LOVE your daily posts! Oh, I also wanted to say thank you for the sugar scrub! I love it. I should make a list over everything before I post so I don't forget anything! I just loved your gifts! Have a great week! |
|
| Deb~ The sun catcher is my Fav.. I have to be honest.. It actually looks like it might have been damaged in route.. It was still perfect on the inside.. There was stickers stuck on the inside of the box, I just thought that you did it.. I mean not many, a few.. I love my box.. Also wanted to tell you that I forgot to put on the card, that I will send you purple oxalis triangularis when I get it in the spring.. 10 bulbs yipeee.. I can't wait to get them so I will send it when I get them.. Laura |
|
| Nancy, I am so glad that you enjoyed what I sent. It was fun swapping with you again. Love the weather, don't you? Mary Ellen |
|
- Posted by debbya z4IL (da1763@aol.com) on Mon, Mar 12, 07 at 0:53
| Laura, Hmmm? That's strange.. Someone had to of opened the box, and re-taped it when it went to the wrong address. That was a new priority box and I didn't stick any stickers on the inside. I sent a new page of shiny shamrock stickers still in the package. I also included some St. Patty's day napkins with the box. And I swore I added a green windcatcher. I need your complete zipcode so this doesn't happen again. I'm glad the box made it to you with an incomplete zip. I've been looking for purple oxalis, thanks Laura! ;) |
