Hi, I am so glad you enjoyed your box. I haven't been on the computer much but thought I would drop in today. It sounds as if your having a wonderful month. Take care, Sonja

Nice boxes! I love hearing about what everyone else sent!
I'm already working on my July box! I have all the 'goodies' already, and just need to pack the plants!

Let's finish up Linda's month! Post those DC#'s and let us know the boxes are going out.

Hugs,
Deb

Can someone post the the new list of gardner's of the month? I have one but I don't think it's right..it looks good until about August and then there were some changes I think....thanks Ladies!

Linda,
What great boxes your getting for your B-day month! I'm wondering why my box has yet to reach you. I have checked daily and it just keeps saying that it was accepted at Tewksbury p.o. on June,12th. I'm sorry that it's taking so long to reach you. I have a formal wedding this evening but I'll check back when I get in tonight,maybe it will come today.

Maybe it doesn't think it will like PA! Don't worry, it will show up.

Good Morning,

I believe, the updated future GOM list is....

July....Lisa (IShareFlowers)

August...Deb (Momcat)

September...Annie (Canyonwind)

October...Sonja (Happyseed)

November...Maureen (MommyMaureen)...??? Is she still playing with us? Has anyone heard from her? Susan, did you receive a B-Day box from her in May?

December...Kara (UNCGardner)

Correct me if I have it wrong!

I will hostess for July! I am headed out of town on Monday and will be back on the 30th or the 1st.

Linda...very nice Miss June boxes!!!! Ladies, you really do send great things!

We have been hanging around 105 degrees for the last several days. It is supposed to break on Monday...the 90's. Off to take a quick dip in the pool.....lots of stuff to do and then a Summer Solstice party later on.

Have a great day!

Annie

Thanks for posting the list Annie! I finally wrote the new updated list down.

Susan,
Did you receive a box from everyone on the list? Please let us know..

Deb

thanks Annie! When I'm out checking out stuff, I like to buy a few things ahead and it helps if I know who I'm buying what for..."S"

Good Morning,

I just sent Susan...Miss May, an email to see if she received a birthday box from everyone in the GOM group, including MommyMaureen, during her birthday month. I told her to post here!!!

Have a great Sunday!!

Annie

OK, Miss June, your box is on it's way!! Delivery confirmation # 0307 0020 0002 9781 9785

I was in a rush to get to the post office in time, and was just cleaning up from my packing job, and found the label for the Lamb's Ear I included in your box. Everything else should have tags, but somehow, this one was left out. I am sorry about that, but wanted you to know.

I do hope you like everything.

Deb

Linda, are ya there? Did you get my package? I'm getting angry now!!! Please let me know, if you haven't gotten it I will check with my p.o. to see where it is.
Lisa

Lisa,
I haven't received your package yet. My mailman will knock when I have a package at the front door and the other one leaves in at the side door where we go in and out. I wonder what happened to it? It keeps saying it's still where you left it. ((HUG))
Linda

Linda,
I checked with the post office today and they said the package was delivered at 9 somehing this morning. I was getting nervous that it got lost. I hope you like what I sent you.
Lisa

Lisa and Momcat..I received both boxes. I was in Altoona visiting my family. I will post all my goodies tomorrow, I just wanted to let you know that they're here!

Oh, good, I hope everything survived the trip OK.

Enjoy,
Deb

When I came back from Altoona Deb's box arrived. It has all sorts of goodies and here's what was inside:

Strawberry candy daylily (both lilies are really pretty!)
little wine cup daylily
gold standard hosta (I love hosta's)
lamb's ear (these guys are so fuzzy)
notebook with flowers
shopping list with flower magnets (now I can say, write in on the list and hang it with the magnet)
blue striped gardening gloves (I always need gloves)
BIG bag of M&M's (which I hid..no I don't share.."L")

Deb, the plants are all in good shape and I'll be putting them in the ground today. Thank you so much, I loved everything!

I know that Lisa was fretting about her box but it arrived yesterday when I was away..(see? I only had to leave!) Here's what was in her box:

7 Lombardia Oriental lily bulbs (a pretty pink)
sticky notes
pink gardening gloves (I'm going to be set for the whole gardening season!)
notepad
pen with cross charm
windchimes (I love windchimes)
beaded fragarance diffuser (always wanted to try one of these)
lavendar flower garden (this looks really cool)
plant markers and marker (I was almost out)
pedicure pouch (clippers, file, toe separator, orange stick)
herbal moisture cream
seed envies
oregano grow kit (this is so cute)
candle holder with 2 candles (smells good)
journel (I really need to start one of these)
bubble envie
and all this was in a burgandy with white flower garden caddy..how cool is that?

Lisa, everything was in good shape when it got here and I really appreciate all the goodies. Your turn is next month..."rubbing hands together"..."L"

whoops..forgot the little mini candles that was included in Lisa's box.

Linda,
Finally, it made it's way to you. I hope that you like all the goodies. I'm sorry that I didn't send any great plants. I didn't find any of your wants.I was pushing it with the lily bulbs, they weren't the right color.

I'm pretty anxious about my month coming. I haven't gotten a package in the mail yet, this was my first round robin. I'll be away on the ummm... I have to look into it and post later.

Have a good nite ladies

this is your first round robin, Lisa? ohhhhhh....that's makes it all the better...."gleeful smile"....

Linda,
Yes, this is my first round robin! I'm getting pretty excited now that's it's close to my turn. I don't know what to expect. I do hope that I have sent things that I was supposed to to those of you whose months have already passed. I looked on other threads to get and idea of the kinds of things to send out and just went with it. I've
got to go, I have to be at work for 7. Have a good day ladies!

July....Lisa (IShareFlowers)

August...Deb (Momcat)

September...Annie (Canyonwind)

October...Sonja (Happyseed)

November...Maureen (MommyMaureen)

December...Kara (UNCGardner)

I don't think anyone heard from Maureen. Does anyone know if Susan received a package from her last month? We might have to move the swap around one more time.

Deb

I have an idea if we move it up a month and lose December's person who would then become November's and so on....anyways,

If that happens, what would you ladies think of one last Gardener of the Month swap but swap names among each other so everyone sends and recieves one box for the Holidays? "wondering if I'm making sense at all"...what do you think?

I know what you mean Linda. I would be happy to swap names at the end and do one in December.

As far as I know Susan didn't get a box from maureen

Happy Monday Morning,

Nice to be home!!!! Hope all of your gardens are happily blooming!!!!!

I had sent Susan an email before I left to go out of town and told her to post here. I do not see a posting from her. There was an email from her on my return last night. Susan is experiencing some serious personal problems. She stated that she can not remember everyone who sent her boxes...she tried to post as she received her birthday boxes. As well, she said that she would try to send out a June box but could not promise! She said she would try to make up for any months that she missed but it might take a month or so........................

So shall we move the swap around just one more time??? Great idea for the month of December...A swap between

Deb...Debbya...Miss April
Linda...Lindaruzicka...Miss June
Lisa...IShareFlowers...Miss July
Deb...Momcat...Miss August
Annie...Canyonwind...Miss September
Sonja...Happyseed...Miss October
Kara...UNCGardener...Miss November
And then for the month of December, we will do a swap amongst this group of seven "GARDENERS OF THE MONTH"...................

Does everyone agree with this????????

Linda, last day of your Birthday month! Lisa...tomorrow your fun begins! I will post a new Gardener of the Month for July...LISA....tonight or in the morning!

Annie

It was a great birthday month and all you ladies sent wonderful boxes! This is Lisa's first swap so let's do 'er up right!!

I'm glad that everyone likes the December month idea...I think it will work out great.

Good Morning,

Tiz July 1st....posting a New JULY Gardener of the Month for LISA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Annie
