Yes!! I would love to join in this swap. Thanks, Renne'

Hi! I would love to join if I may! One question, do the 3 plants have to be different? or can they all be the same? I do have 2 different kind but lack the 3rd. Thanks, Tracy

Please count me in - I have lots of colors with no names.

Are we sending to a partner or to you to send out?

Thanks,
Marie

Tracy, I don't think it matters, the important thing here is send a package that you would like to recieve, but a variety is nice.

Marie, yes, you will be sending to a partner.

Renne,tracy and Marie thanks for joining the swap.

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

bumping this up ~

Would love to join this swap, how do I do it

Jenrid, are you interested in the named or unnamed iris swap? You are welcome to participate in both, but again one is for named only, and this one is for unnamed. Like I mentioned above it it nice if you know the color, but if you don't that is fine too, you must send at least 3,and the most important thing here is send a package you, yourself would like to recieve.

Please let me know.

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

I would like to tentatively sign up. I may be in the hospital delivering my baby soon. Exactly when does the swap occur?

I want to both, just tell how this works,and when we are doing it

"Sign up for this will be untill the 6th of August, and the final mailout date the end of August."

Duh! LOL. Sorry - apparently missed that part. Definitely would like to participate. I only have one kind of bearded iris, but can easily send 3 of them. ;) Looking forward to this. :)

Ladies, here is the lineup for sending your iris

Rennep/renne sends to Tracyvine/Tracy
Tracyvine sends to Rennep/Renne

Wynative/Marie sends to Jennid
Jennid sends to Wynative/Marie

Redsnowflake sends to Raggedyann/Annie
Annie/Raggedyann sends to Redsnowflake

I'm closing this swap, Please notify your partners and give them your address.

Be sure to send at least 3, send priority/with delivery confirmation, post the delivery confirmation when you send and post when you receive.I think that about does it.

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

Annie: Thank you for leting me join. I am so excited I can
not wait to see what I get. I am new here and not very good with the typing. When I first looked around I did not think I would be staying here . I failed latin and all the proper names for plants are greek to me.:P But Then
I saw this and I though well maybe I will be okay after all. So Thank again for letting me join both swaps and for letting a newbie feel welcomed

Jenrid, you are most welcome, we were all new once. I don't know all the proper names for plants, and suppose I never will but I guess there are a few that do. I don't see where it is all that important. I collect Hosta, Iris and daylily, and to be honest, I would flunk a test if I had to take one on any of the three. LOL

Welcome to GW!

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

Marie, I have your box ready but I need your address, please
let me know where to send it. Thanks jennid

Jenni,

you've got mail :) I don't care for named stuff as it is to hard to remember after the wind blow's the tags away! Can't wait to see what you send.

Marie

Thank you, I love " Orphans" my self, looking forwards to this. some on my favorite plants have no name but they normally have a great story.

Jenni,

I resent but in case it doesn't show up...

What colors do you prefer or want? I will try to match as close as possible.

I can send to you first then when you get your new iris you will have my address.

Hoping you get it!
Marie

I love them all so surprise me. Thank you jennid

Good afternoon Jenni,

Your new Iris are on their way! UPS delivery conformation# 1Z 821 048 03 5148 6982

Enjoy your weekend,
Marie

Redsnowflake, I will be mailing to you on Tues of next week.(I promise) The days got away from me, and it is just soooooooo hot out. I have to go into work tonight and it is the start of my long stretch. I will return home Monday, get a good night sleep, mail your stuff out and return to work Tues night - Thurs. night and then Friday my long stretch off starts again. YIPPIIIIIIIIII! I will post the delivery confirmation when I do, and I do apologize for the delay.

I hope everyone is staying cool, it sure is a scorcher out there.

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

Annie - don't sweat it. No worries here. :) I'm in no hurry, so just send whenever you get a chance.

And yes, it is ridiculously hot! We've been having temps right near 100 and the humidity has made it positively unbearable! I'm due to have our second little boy on the 25th and it's all I can do to go out to the mailbox and back!

Everyone definitely stay cool! ;)

Redsnowflake ~ Congrates! You will have to let us know that all went well & his name :)- best of luck!

Ridiculously HOT here also! Well over 100 each day this week, grrrrrr! I hope all plants survive this scorcher.

Marie

Thank you Marie. I will update everyone once things get going. :) His name is David Liam. We're looking so forward to meeting him!

Redsnowflake, Gongratulations on the upcoming birth of your son.

I'm will be closing up your box this evening, and mailing it when I get off work tomorrow morning. The confirmation number will be 0307 0020 0000 3240 0476. I hope the plants do well for you.

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

i need to send some pics to anyone to know what is bearded. I think mine are regular.
nicole

marie your package sent confirmation 1ZX 215500310283874

Thanks Annie. Looking forward to it! Will let you know when the package arrives!

Redsnowflake, I just sent you an e-mail, but incase you don't get it. I just want to tell you to not worry about sending out untill after you have your baby and things are back to normal. I wouldn't want you to go into labor being out in the sun, and digging iris.

I'm heading out the door, but will be back home Friday sometime. I will be mailing you package tomorrow.

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

Annie,

Didn't get your email, so thanks for the post. I appreciate your consideration. I'm scheduled to be induced on the 23rd, so I'll likely be back home on the 25th. First week or so will definitely be kind of hectic, but there should be no reason I couldn't get yours sent out to you by the 1st week in October.

If nothing else, I'll make Dear Hubby go out and dig some. He's the one who got them for me to begin with, so he won't mind. He's such a sweet hubby. :)

Anyway - will let you know when I get mine and also when I send yours.

~Amanda

Maria, Thank you for being My partner, your box arrived today, and I can't wait to see them bloom. I hope you enjoy your. Thanks again jennid

Annie~

Received the package today. Thank you so much for the extra goodies you've included! I cannot wait to see how everything looks next season! :)

I will get yours out to you as soon as reasonably possible. I'll be sure to post the confirmation number once they are shipped.

Again - thank you so very much!

Hope everyone has a blessed day and stays cool in this insane heat!

~Amanda

Marie, Your package is waiting for you, I sent you an email Hope you got it. please let me know. I am pulling hair Out. UPS said they sent you a post card to let you know. They need delivery instructions. Thank you jennid I am sorry I never thought about them not being able to deliver to a post office. Thanks again Jennid

Jenni,

Thanks for letting me know! I couldn't remember if I gave you my work address or not...

I called my husbands boss's wife to get my favorite USP drivers Mom in Laws phone # to get favorite USP drivers cell phone to see if it was on her truck.... No, so she gave me other driver's #'s but not there either... so I got the secret # for the main office in Cheyenne and they will be deliverying it to me tomorrow at my house :))

It is not who you are it is who you know! LOL

Thanks again and have a great weekend,
Marie

I am so glad.I just didn't think I guess. I am so sorry, It just never dawned on me that UPS did not deliver to post office. Hope you like them.

Jenni,

I got my box yesterday - they couldn't find my house on saturday??? They were a little dry but I am sure they will be fine. They are all tucked into their new home ~ can't wait till they bloom in the spring and see what colors I have!

Thanks!
Marie

Annie - got yours mailed out today. I feel bad because they are so much smaller than what you sent me. :( I hope you aren't disappointed. I did include some gladiolus bulbs as well. I hope you like them!

Confirmation #0306 3030 0000 7562 0588

Amanda, Thanks for letting me know, and not to worry, iris are tough, they will grow. Also thanks for the extras. Be sure to update us on your new arrival! :O) :O)

Again, thanks to you all for joining. We will have to do this again next year.

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

Amanda, I got you box today, and THEY ARE NOT SMALL. I also want to thank you for the extras, will store them, and plant them in the spring.

Thanks so Much!
LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

Annie - glad you got them and that you don't think they are small. I was afraid you'd think they were puny. LOL. Would have replied sooner, but I'm happy to announce I had my son at 3:40 AM Friday morning! I've been doing the happy dance ever since. :)

Gongrats on your new baby, but now we want pictures :O) :O)

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

Annie - so glad to hear that baby 'David' has arrived & both of you are doing well!!

Ditto on the pictures! :))

Marie

Presenting... Baby David:

On his birthday:

With proud papa:

With even prouder big brother:

At 4 days old:

I woke up Friday morning at about 1:55 AM to strong contractions that were about 3-4 minutes apart. I woke up DH at about 2:20 and we got our oldest up and headed out to the hospital. Got there at 2:55 AM. I was already at 9cm dilated and 100% effaced. David was ready to make his debut. They got me in a room and he was born at 3:40 AM - about 5 minutes after my water broke - leaving me no time for an epidural. Ouch! LOL - but it was so much more than worth it. He's such a sweet angel - just like his big brother. I am so blessed!!! =D

I can't see them :(

Marie

Hmmm... they're through Photobucket. Maybe their site was temporarily down. Hopefully you can see them now. LMK.

Marie, hehe, the baby is not mine, not that I wouldn't take him! I want to be grandma!!!!!

Redsnowflake, congrats, you have such a beautiful family

LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie
