Thanks Becky
Donna :)

So glad you found some fun things. I think you're going to give your mail person whiplash with that type of turn around on the box!

I just got the box already! Did not get a chance to look through it yet, but will tonight. We are painting the outside of the house. What fun! SO, tonight when I am all cleaned up and relaxed, I will go through them!
Christy

Hi Everyone,

I seem to be having a few email troubles at home. I'll see if it's working at work. I'll be out of town for a few days, but will be back on Saturday.

Happy Gardening!

Hey everyone!

I went through the box and took a few things. I have a bunch to put back into it. Sorry I am taking a few extra days, but I have been so busy. I will have the box out soon!
Christy

Hi Everyone,

I'm back in town and my email troubles seem to be resolved. Christy, hope you found a few things you like!

Becky

Sorry I took a whole week to get this going. It was just the busiest week for me last week and this week will be the same. I should have the box out today, and will come back to post the DC. I feel bad because Donna had it in and out right away!
Christy

Hey Christy...dont feel bad :)

That's fine Christy. That's why I wanted to give people up to a week to have the seeds. This way if someone gets busy, goes on vacation, gets hung up with work, gets sick...it still gives them enough time to participate but not enough time to forget they ever had the box!

Thanks for keeping us updated!

NP Christy...Hey I just ordered in a few items...so I'm psyched for the box, but we all know what this time of year brings. It's always busy...and I can sure be patient...can't plant them 'til next season anyway, so we're good lol ;)

Hope all is well with you and yours...how'd the painted house turn out? Fresh paint is always so beautiful on a home! And when you do it yourself, it makes it so much better. It's that feeling of accomplishment!

Oh, I forgot to post this number here. My husband brought it to the PO for me, I told him to make sure to get Delivery Confirmation, well instead, he sent it Certified Mail and spent $10 on the darn thing for shipping! So, I have a number here, but please be aware, Joan, that you will have to sign for the box now. Sorry about that! I hope that is not a problem. If you are not home to sign, you can pick it up at your PO.
Darn Husband! LOL! Well, alteast he over-protected it instead of not getting a confirmation at all! LOL!

Here is the number
7007 2560 0001 0653 8462

Well, as for the house, I have the front left to paint, and the 2nd coat for the shutters. Yesterday and today, we stained our front porch, which is made of wood, and I do not think anything was every done to it before. So, we put the stain on and it looks so awesome! Actually got a stain called, "Vintage Wine", so even though you can see it is still wood because it is semi-transparent, it has this wine colored tint to it that looks so neat! And it will also match the shutters, which are painted a color called,"Merlot". Yes, I turned my house into a big Wino house! LOL!
The house is a sort of tan color, but with a hint of like a mauve like in it, so when you look at it, it looks like a beige type tan color, but with a hue that will compliment the wine colors of the shutters and porch.The house color really looks awesome when the sunset shines on it over the lake. You know how twilight almost makes things "glow" when the sun is setting? Well, it gives my house this really neat glow as the sun sets. I love the sunset, because the colors are so unnatural and stunning, the same reason why so many artists try to capture those colors in paintings.
Boy, what a pain it was to coordinate the house color and the shutter and porch colors, that took a week by itself to do before we even got started! LOL!

Ok, well, now everyone knows what my house looks like and listened to me blab on about color! LOL!
Christy

Christy, you just take your time and don't worry about it.
Thanks to the recession, I'm still unemployed and will be home ALL week to sign for the package!
Your house sounds absolutely beautiful! Why did I not picture your house as being a bland ordinary color?... ;)
I feel like all my fav buddies are in this RR with me and it's just wonderful!

Joan

Wow, Christy, your home sounds gorgeous!!
Makes me think I should be sprucing up the old place here .....

Well, our box came this morning! Had a great time sifting thru the contents, taking out things I wanted to try, and adding seeds I thought others might like. I'll be dropping it off at the PO this afternoon, so look out Nancy, it's headed your way!

Joan
PS - The box is starting to bulge a little bit. :)

I'm back! I finished my job early but what a beautiful place to be. I got to do an inspection of a mansion in Corning, NY. The mansion was 15,000 sq ft! It's rare that we get to do inspections on places like this. Lots of lead paint but it was beautiful! I think Corning would be a nifty place to vacation for a few days.

Anyway, Christy, I'm glad the painting is going well. It sounds like you have a beautiful color combination for your house.

Joan, glad you're enjoying going through the seeds!

I was hoping that the package would come today but it is not here yet.

Joan: Do you mind sending me the DC# so I can track it? Should I be worried? Because if it was shipped on Thursday, it should be here by now.

Nancy

Soooooo sorry.... My son came in Thursday before school on my way to the P.O. I made a special trip yesterday to mail. I'm so veryyyyyy sorry Nancy. I think you should have tomorrow or Thursday.

Forgive me please.
Joan

Joan, No worries. I was just starting to worry about the package. I have been bugging the poor mailman. I kept asking him about it. Are you SURE I kept asking. She sent it on Thursday. I may not be home either day and will let everyone know when I get it and if I have to go to the PO to pick it up.

Nancy

Hi, The package arrived today and I will ship it out tomorrow to Toni. I will post the DC# after I get back from my sis's.
