| Alrighty! I surprised even myself by getting done this quickly! The packages will be mailed this afternoon (around 4pm pacific, have to wait for DH to get home from work)and I will post here after I get back from the PO. All I have left to do is seal and label them! Below is a list of all of our players and their corresponding delivery confirmation numbers. Please post here when you receive your package!
zabecc - Elizabeth - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 6841 micyrey - Michelle - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 6858 daisydo - Joyce - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 6865 etravia - Maggie - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 6889 sandy_s - Sandy - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 1693 moonphase - Annette - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 1686 gybns - Gene - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 1679 simplylisa - Lisa - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 1662 andrea81 - Andrea - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 1655 rosebud_2050 - Shirley - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 1648 lizinnh - Liz - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 6896 mallowmallow - Pam - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 1624 michiganalice - Alice - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 1631 oknish - Ordella - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 6872 threeshyacres - Jodi - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 1709 limequilla - Suzy - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0368 1716 rudybacon - Kathy - DC#: 0306 0320 0004 0367 7276
This swap was a lot of fun! It was kind of like Christmas every time I would open one of your packages because I wasn't quite sure what I was going to get. I have included with your "Hot Cocktails" a handmade card and a small handmade gift to show my appreciation for your participation in this swap. I will post below the master list of what everybody (with a few exceptions per their request) will be getting in their "Hot Cocktails" package. A few things were very chaffy (zinnias, for example) to the point of being to much to even try to clean or I would have been sitting here three months from now, still trying to clean out the chaff. So they got measured chaff and all. Single Mixes: Amaranth - 1/2 tsp Calendula - 1 tsp Celosia - 1/16 tsp (roughly 80-100 seeds) Cleome - 1/4 tsp Columbine - 1/4 tsp Cornflower - 1/4 tsp Cosmos - 1/2 tbsp Datura - 1/2 tsp Echinacea - 1/8 tsp Four O'Clocks - 1 tsp Gaillardia - 1/2 tbsp Gomphrena - 1/2 tsp Hibiscus - 1/4 tsp Hollyhock - 1 tbsp Larkspur - 1/8 tsp Linaria - 1/8 tsp Marigold - 1 1/2 tbsp Money Plant - 1/4 tsp Morning Glory - 1 tsp Poppy - 1/4 tsp Rudbeckia - 1/4 tsp Sedum - 1/4 tsp Shasta Daisy - 1/4 tsp Sunflower - 2 tbsp Sweet William - 1/4 tsp Yucca - 1/4 tsp Zinnia - 1 tbsp Mega Mixes: (all labeled with mix contents)
Thanks to everybody for playing! I hope that maybe in six months you all might be up for another round of "Hot Cocktails"!!!! Your Hostess,

| Ok...so everybody is packed up and labeled....Etravia and Lizinnh have new recycled envies because theirs took a beating in the mail....I am crossing my fingers and hoping that we have enough postage, might be cutting it close, but the last time I weighed a package on my home scale it weighed half an ounce heavier than the PO scale...just waiting for DH to get home from work now.....in the meantime working on the gifts for my other Round Robin so I can get it out the door......... |

| So cool! Netta, you always do such a nice job on things. I wish I were half as creative and a quarter as organized as you are! Yes! Count me in next time and I'll be sure to save all the mixed seeds that come through to donate to the cause. I am so excited about these and it makes absolutely no sense. I have a lot of beautiful, named seeds and a lot of commercial packages I bought, and yet these are probably the ones that will get sown because I want to see what it looks like! Suzy |

| hi thanks for all the work, I can't wait to get more WS seeds, I have never WS before and sowed them too early and they started sprouting, so I had to bring them in and put them in the greenhouse(the laundry room in the basement) I'm saving more bottles so I can try again. thanks again michelle |

| Mine came today, too! Love the surprises!!! (I almost posted a thank you for the items by name, until I remembered not everybody might have gotten theirs today!) The seeds look like they will be so much fun! As I said a million times already -- This was such a great idea! Please, please, peeps, post pictures of your seed hot cocktails next summer because I won't have room for everything I received. I'll have to pick and choose, but I still want to SEE everything!

| Your Welcome! |
|
| Netta,thank you so much for being the hostess of such a wonderful swap! Your personal touches were so thoughtful. I got home and received the package. It was my first thong delivery - ever. (Book thong for folks not part of the swap.) I am dying to plant these and see what colors bloom. Thank you! Thank you! I am sorry for the delay in posting. My internet went down due to the buy out of Adelphia from Comcast. As a young mother, everything goes to my children first and I seldom do or get things for myself. You made my day. Folks from this forum are one of the things I will be thankful for on Thanksgiving day! LizinNH |
|
| Got my seeds yesterday!! I can't believe how many wonderful seeds were in there. You did a great job, and to remember us with a personal gift was above and beyond! I definitely received far more than I gave. Thank all of you that were so generous. Thank you so much!! |

| Hi Netta, I also received my package, and was so pleased. Everything was very neat and organized, and the extra book marker gift was such a nice touch. I think we can all see what effort you put into this swap, and that means so much. Many thanks to you and all of the contributing gardeners! |

| Hi: Netta: I received my package yesterday - and it sure was a VERY nice package. Thank you for all of the nice goodies. I really did not expect that many seeds, but you fulfilled my dreams by all of the different kinds. I will have to make another garden to put in all of the different seeds that I received. I want to wish you and everyone involved with this swap a Blessed Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas. I know I will be thinking of everyone involved next summer when I can sit and enjoy all of these seeds. God's Blessing to you for all of your work. OrDella |
