| Great job Santa! That is an awesome list! I am going to be at the post office awhile, I think - having the poor guy measure each envelope, tell me how many stamps it takes, and stamp it somehow to keep them out of the machines. All the seeds are wrapped in bubble wrap securely but they are in regular envelopes. Hope everyone has as much fun as I did packing everything up! Happy Thanksgiving! Nikki |

| Happy Thanksgiving Eve everyone! My 10 yr old bought a book of Santa jokes and asked me this one this morning: "Why does Santa have a garden?" Bonnie (who's wondering how long it will take for someone to figure it out. He had to tell me the answer because I had just woken up, and hadn't had any coffee yet, LOL) |
|
- Posted by poisondartfrog 7 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 26, 08 at 11:26

| Happy thanksgiving to everyone! Wow this is exciting I'm guessing 1009 cards! Annette |
|
| hello I too sent mine today, I didn't want my boys getting in to them(all except the ones I still need address for) I maybe sending some cards with out seeds becouse I didn't have anything of their list and still wanted to say merry christmas to some of my friends, I hope that is ok. ok my guess for the total sent is 1111, I know it is kinda wierd but I just have a feeling. happy thanksgiving everyone |
|
| I guess: 1,033. I sent mine today, too. I had to because when I go back to work Monday, it is craziness until Christmas. I had the poor lady at the po check in each one so I wouldn't make the mistake of not putting enough stamps. She also stamped each envelope "Not Machinable". Although they were wrapped in bubble wrap, I wanted to be sure no one's seeds were smushed. |
|
- Posted by ncgardengirl 7b 8a NC (My Page) on Wed, Nov 26, 08 at 14:08
| Guess: I will say 1299 Which with as many ppl that is signed up if each of us just send out 10 cards each that is 1500 so it is possible it is more that 1500! Hey everyone...

| I'm about to leave out of town, but had to check the thread first. Is the guess what number of cards it's at right now or after everyone reports in?... I'm assuming after everyone reports how many they're sending.... My guess is 1150. It'll be neat to see how we're all smiling running to check our mail. I hope everyone has an awesome Thanksgiving. I better get going as my dad's gonna yell at me for being so late as it is. LOL Blessings, |

| My seeds went out this morning. The kids (3 and 5) were rampaging the house wanting to go to the zoo, so I may have forgotten to sign the cards with my GW screen name. Oops! If you get something from "the Hovings" - that's me. -Chris Aka Pseudacris_crucifer |

| Oh WOW - I've missed a lot!!!! I've been out of town all weekend. My sister, mother, and I always spend the weekend in Atlanta and shop, shop, shop all day and wrap, wrap, wrap all night. We've had the best time making memories! Anyway, I'm so happy to see that some people have received my cards. I loved being able to fulfill some wishes. There are more in route. I received a card over the weekend too!!!! Yippee!!! The card was from Michelle (micyrey) and she sent 3 different types of seeds: Amaranthus (red flowers and leafs), amaranthus "love lies bleeding", and agastache - blue fortune. I can't wait to see these growing in my garden. Thanks Michelle for being so generous! Nikki in Georgia |
