| Heads up Amanda!!! This robin is in flight today!!! It is on its way to your house! Have fun ladies.
I look forward to the day she returns home with all your journaling ,I think it is wonderful to learn about everyone and their gardens,family pets ect. I tried to include much of my world in the journal,now lets hear yours. Please post here when you get the robin and when it is sent back out,and who you sent it to, so we dont loose track of her. If you take seeds please replace with equally valuable seeds :example: if you take a hard to come by seed please dont replace it with seeds you get 10 for a buck If you take bulbs or gifts please replace them as well. Also lets all us delivery comformation so we know it has been delivered. Thanks for joining I hope you all have a blast!! Kelley |

| Well I finally decided. I took some bulbs and added some bulbs and I pick out quite a few seeds and added some with an additional 15 or 20 packs of seeds that were not in there. My son wanted the popcicle sticks so we took those and added some goodies. I will ship it out tomorrow and post del conf# . I am repacking in another box because when I got it some of seeds were loose inside and sprinkled out on things. I think it was manhandled at the post office. Any way all is well and I will ship it tomorrow. Thank you, Amy |

| The Postman left a box today just sitting on my step It looked like it had traveled far to take a little rest I looked it over thoughtfully this box that he had left The sides were bulging out, it was stuffed so very full. I picked it up so carefully, this treasure I had found With shaking hands I opened it and with abated breath Watched a treasure trove of goodies spread across my table top I knew that I could pick and choose before I sent it on Inside a wealth of seeds to filled my dreams of summer blooms A Sunflower tea towel caught my eye I knew I wanted that It would do until my seeds grew, and turned their faces to the sun A journal tucked among the seeds reminded me to write
Sue, confirmation #0304 1560 0004 6236 9582 |

It will be on it's way to Erica! Thanks for hosting, Kelley! |

| Thanks for the wonderful thoughts and prayers everyone. Yes, she was my garden buddy and my best friend besides my mother! I am devastated and will miss her dearly. She only had one more round of chemo and they said she was doing great. Then she didn't feel as well as she had been but she wasn't concerned. Made her go in to see dr. and we were only in there 5 minutes and she went into cardiac arrest and nothing they could do. It was a sad day! With many more to come. She loved the GW and we were always looking forward to these things and sorry we can't now. Have fun with it ladies. Melinda |

| Hi ladies! The fat Robin was waiting for me last evening when I got home from work, but unfortunately I could not open it until this morning. I really enjoyed reading the journal - neat idea Kelley! I found some seeds I found interesting and added probably 50 + packs. Also, I took a garden marker and wind sock and added a garden tote and a few other miscellaneous items. I have the Robin all packed up to the hilt and since I can't make it to the P. O. today - I'll drop her off on the way in to work on Monday morning! Thanks so much for coordinating this Kelley - I enjoyed participating and the box will now be on its way to Tina! - Lisa |

| This is a great robin, thank you Tina(mmqchdygg) for the ceramic "garden fund" jar.It is sunshine yellow with flowers all around it,just what I needed(How did you know?)it replaced the ugly peanut butter jar that was sitting next to my computer. My two boys that still live at home have to donate $1.00 into the jar every time I do one of their chores, some weeks it adds up really fast. :) Tina, you are very tallented I will think of you everytime I look at it. I also took out the canvas garden tote(great idea for the absent minded gardener.) I replaced both items and added more seeds to the already huge seed bag. I enjoyed reading the journal and learning a little bit more about everyone, what a brilliant idea that was Kelly. O.K. now I still have to fill in my part in the Journal and then of it goes to Susie. I will post again after I get back from the post office Monday morning with the Confirmation# Kelly, thanks for letting me play, this is a very fun robin. You did a great job! Deanie |
