new: obf june's special friend swap

9 years ago

OBF (Our Bloomin Friends) is a membership group of regular participants having the option to join a swap here each month. Membership is required in order to participate. Please contact Shirley (Brittneysgran) or Carol (veeja3), if you want more information about becoming a member.

Whoa I'm behind on June's swap...way busy at this time of year. But that's a good thing, means our side business is doing well.

I thought and thought about this month's swap and decided we will do a special friends swap. Everyone who participates will post plants, bulbs, cuttings and etc., they have to share. Before our weather gets too hot for shipping plants we may want to get that coveted plant we have been looking for and someone here just may have it and we don't know it. There will of course be games through out the month and our beloved BINGO.

Sign ups will be until Tuesday, June 10th.

    Too funny, I see some of us managed to stay up till midnight!
    I've been up since 3am and am so happy to get Beth's box!

    I am surprised that my time on my first guess said 23:59, I waited till my iPad clock said midnight and then I counted to 2.

    Sheri looks like you had the IN DEMAND box! Good going! And congrats to Shirley for being the fastest to click for it!

    I'm going to bed with a smile on my face ... Nighty night ladies, it's been fun!

    I'll have fun packing your box on Monday morning, Shirley. I'll mail it Priority that day, too. Everything on the list will be in your box.

    Good Night, Sleep Tight!

    Nikki, congrats on winning the "Blue Eyed Susan" Iris. She's really pretty.

    OK #4, Erica's box it is . Looks like we are both into herbs and you have some that I was still wanting. When I'm sure this is how it's going to be I'll contact Erica.
    I'll be away most all day so it will be tonight or tomorrow.
    Sharon, I may need your address. and I'll need to get mine to whoever is sending to me
    . LOL..... Shirley, glad it was not me that had to figure out the pairs on this.

    I am not a member of the group, but I like the idea and would have picked Susan B's box. Uncanny, it had about six things I want.

    Shirley, I stopped and prayed for your cousin and the other person. I will add them to my family's on-line prayer group.

    Carol...

    To edit your "want list", scroll down to the bottom of this page and under "community" you'll see "member pages"... click on that. That should give you all the options for editing all your member info, if you're signed-in. :)

    Wow, I love the system you used for selecting the boxes. What fun! I should have joined... I'm almost always up past midnight. LOL

    Shirley, I'm so sorry to hear about the accident your brother was involved in. I hope there is some improvement with the lady who was hurt so badly. Will you send me the updated membership list? I have one saved on my computer, but I think it's from about 8 years ago. Thanks so much.

    Have a good week, everyone, and I know you will be receiving wonderful boxes.

    Carol, I got your email and tried again by replying. Any luck? I was just trying to find out if there was anything from the list that you really were looking forward to so I can send extras, or anything you couldn't use. Also hardneck garlic and horseradish, compliments of Mike's mom if you'd like.

    Susan, That's OK... there is always next time! Did you go to the Bavarian Parade, and if so is it true Santa was there? (Because personally I think he should be hibernating or something!)

    I hope everyone had a nice Father's Day Weekend,

    Stunning daylily, Shirley!

    Does anyone know what this blue-ish flower is? The leaves are scented... kind of minty. I scattered some of the seeds that I received in the "Secret Santa" exchange and I must not have made a label for this one. Thanks!!!
