Nancy

Am I too late? thanks, vickie

I am not looking to sign up for this swap because I'm trying to cut back on some of the plants I'm going to have to bring inside around the end of October. However, if any of the folks who sign up for your swap are interested, I have some houseplants I will need to get rid of so I don't have to find room for inside. Right now, everything's outside under a holly tree. These are common so just let me know - aloe vera, silver squill, devil's backbone, maybe sanseveria 'Hahnaii'

bump.....

Nancy

Kyle, I was going to get your box ready to go so my DH could take it to the P.O tommorrow and when I went to get the packing tape, well it seems my son decided to use it for his own amusement, I was not amused however. I will get your box mailed out Monday, wish our P.O stayed open later then noon, sometimes that makes it difficult as I work every Saturday til noon:(
I will post with confirmation as soon as I get it on it's way, sorry for the delay.
micke

its fine your little story put a smile on my face lol

I'm working on my box on Monday. Sorry for the delay Michelle! My Son is having toe surgery on Tuesday (on both big toes). He's having trouble with his toenails constantly causing pain and becoming in-grown/infected. He needs them surgically cut off and then zapped with a lazer to stop nail growth on the sides. I'm a little worried...

Deb

Michelle,
No mail today! Sorry.. I'll work on your package after I return home from my Son's toe surgery tomorrow. Again, sorry for the delay.

Deb

Hi this is Nicole. Kim's Daughter.
I have dropped two boxes off at the post office.
One she had set for Norma who was not able to be in the swap she signed up for couple of months ago but made a trade with Mom.
Norma your Delivery Confirmation number is 0306 1070 0001 9492 9702

And Mom's trade partner Nikki. Your box's Delivery Confirmation number is 0306 1070 0001 9492 9719.
I help Mom with her houseplants and I took Horticulture for 2 years in high school. I have a few ponytail palm seeds and I hope to grow some for swaps next spring! We will see how that goes. I hope to propagate some of Mom's plants by next spring also. Her cuttings from this year's swaps are doing great!

I will check in next week to see who has not received a box
I am marking it on Mom's list now. If you do not recieve one please let me know by posting here.

Nicole

Kyle, your package is in the mail (finally!)
deb, my husband had that same type of surgery when he was a teenager, he said it was very painful (the ingrown toenails) on one it was done perfectly, the other one they left some of the ingrown nail and if he hits it on anything it is very, very painful, so just make sure they get all of the nail at the side to save him some trouble down the road. (I don't think DH had any of the laser done though, that may make a big difference)

Micke..Its so good to see you around here again! I was wondering where you were and how you were doing.Deb I hope your boys surgery went well.I had surgery a few years back to totally remove my big toenails on my feet for the same reason and its the best thing I ever did..Sandals look goofy tho now..lol..but at my age who cares..

Well looks like I got side tracked a little...lol.. the reason I came on here was to let Kimberly know her box is on the way...0103855749232783785

Has anyone received there boxes yet?Just wondering i wanted to know what everyone got.

Looks like 5 great boxes have received so far from what I read from posts above and looks like a few more are on their way.This month sure has been a fast moving one.Kim I typed your confirmation # in wrong in my post above..that one is for a different swap..your real number..lol..is 0103 8555 7493 1773 4800. Hope ya like what I sent : )
Nancy

Michelle,
Your package will go out on Monday. My Son has been home all week in pain. They couldn't do the permanent procedure due to the nails being infected. The Dr. decided to go with Acid instead of lazor. When acid is used, the nail has to be clear of infection or you run the risk of the acid bringing the infection to the bone. That would then cause a possible amputation. So, we have to wait until his toes clear up, he's on antibiotics too for a few weeks. The Dr. did do all the nail cutting/cleaning. He ended up taking half the nail off (on both big toes) and then taking off 1/4 of the nail on each side too. 4 pieces of nail were removed off of the 2 toes. It was a hard procedure to watch! Last Christmas my Son had this done on one toe. We thought it would of never came back. He hid the second toe from me for a few weeks. When I noticed both toes infected again, we went immediately!

Also, my car is having problems and is at the dealership right now. I'm waiting for a phone call to pick it up. Luckily, it's still under warranty. I noticed a ticking sound, it's the timing belt, rubbing metal to metal.

When it rains it pours! ;)

Deb

Hi everyone i got my box today heres what i got

1.heartleaf philo plant.i have this one already but i was going to buy another one to match the one i have since they are one of my favs.

The living rocks made it okay????? I was very worried about them, shipping succulents scares the pants off of me! (and cedarnest you know why! lol)
micke

Hi,
I didn't forget you Michelle. I'm so sorry that my box is late. I'm usually the first to sent out packages! Greenbean (my Monk parrot) died on Sunday. (I wrote the story on the "Petalpushers" swap thread). It's really late or I would go into more detail. I promise to mail your box out either tomorrow or Thursday. I'll post the DC# here. Again, I'm sooo sorry for being late!

Deb

I am so sorry to hear about Greenbean:( I enjoyed hearing your stories about him. It is hard when we lose one of our furry pals, you take care and don't worry about being late it is no problem I totally understand.

Your package went out today! I'm finally caught up!

USPS #0307 0020 0004 7458 0583.

Deb

Good news here - pop go moved to a regular room yesterday! He did not need to be put on the ventilator for his lungs to rest and heal some. So another week or so there then home it is!
I am home today because pop told me to take my butt home for awhile =-)
Kiddos new laptop from my mom should be here today so I can keep up with reading all the GW posts hopefully!

Deb - Sorry your son is having such a rough time with his toes! Will keep him in thoughts and prayers. Sorry to hear about Greenbean too - its very hard to lose a beloved pet.

Micke - I LOL at your son in the packing tape!

Nancy - my box arrived last saturday. Kiddo called me and said they looked great all but the varigated corn start. It had a little soft spot in the stem at the bottom. Kiddo removed that and potted it. It still isnt looking too great. If you have more maybe we can do an individual trade for another one?

Kiddo was moving my regular cornplant to vaccum and broke a big piece off. She stuck it in a pot of dirt and now its rooted! I did not know it would root that easily! It did for her!

I got my box today! Deb you really outdid yourself:) this is what I got,
Episcia, 'Ember Lace'
Heart Vine (will this root in water or soil??)
HOYAS:):)' Phillipine Black' and Rope Hoya 'Crinkle'
Easter lily bulbs
Alsobia Cygnet
a cool Autumn Home oven mitt
and 8 packets of seeds
whew, hope I didn't forget anything, thank you so much Deb:)
I did go ahead and put the hoyas in soil, that was right wasn't it? I rooted a hoya earlier this year and I am thinking I did it that way.
thanks for hosting the swap Kim, I enjoyed it:)

Michelle,
I always start hoyas directly in soil. The heart vine, water. Also, the Episcia & Cygnet soil.

Phillipine black is so different! Your really going to like this one. It loves lots of sun!

I'm glad you finally have your box!

Deb

I loved the Philipine Black, it is different, I had never seen that one before, it was such a nice surprise, but I also loved the crinkles, so cool:) well I loved everything. Thank you, Thank you. And thank you for the planting instructions, I stuck the Episcia in water, then duh! remembered I had some birds build a nest in a green one I had and that the pieces that fell to the ground rooted themselves:)
I also forgot to mention the cute little ceramic box the easter lily bulbs came in (I am going to plant something in it, haven't decided what yet, maybe the Heart vine when it roots, hmmmm....)
It has been so long since I have been in a swap that I had forgotten how much fun it is to recieve a box and get to go through it and find all the goodies:)
