PLEASE, send me a list of WHOM you are mailing to...I just need a list of screen names ( NOT, what you are mailing ) , to make sure everyone will be happily surprised. I will need your list by DEC 1st ..so start packin your seeds !! ( This will allow me time to ask a few elves for help , making sure wishes come true ! ) ***HOW many you mail to will be kept confidential, it isnt about HOW MANY, it is about the SPIRIT, and the fact that you shared some HOLIDAY CHEER with another !! 7. This is a "secret" swap...but PLEASE put ur return address on the envie..and screen name, so everyone can be thanked :) The secret is to be, until they receive their card ! 8. Homemade cards were the best last season...but send store bought, or homemade !! I loved the ones the kids made :) 9. YES< some people may receive multiples of the same seed, but the best part is...it may be a different color, or variety...ALSO,they can use them to trade later ! 10.

| Kim I loved this swap last year. So I am possible in. I am currently in 2 wishlist swaps. So what could be left. So I will have to think before totally commiting to this one but I am VERY interested in this. Thanks Paula |
|
| Just trying to get the idea here.... So you send everybody a list of everybody's addresses and , or do you just send the addy's peeps ask for? And I understand that we mail everything directly to peeps ourselves? :) And then you keep track of who sent to who, but not each item? Is that all right? Maybe I can play.... |
|
| The way it worked last year, was that every one listed a certain number of wants and who ever could fill any wants would send a christmas card with the seeds to each person. I think we had around 150 people signed up last year. You can choose how many wants or wishes to fill and how ever many people you wanted to surprise. And yes Kim would just be keeping track of who you intended to send cards to. She did not ask for a list of wishes that you were filling. She did it this way to ensure that everyone got at least 1 christmas card with wishes in it. Paula |

| This was an absolute BLAST last year, and the birthday swap has been all year! You BETCHA I'm in on this one this year! I already see wishes I can fulfill, so let's get the Ho-Ho-Ho-Down started! LOL! My wishlist, in no particular order... Heidi, you don't have to send the cards/seeds in a bubble envelope, but make sure there's enough padding between the envelope and seeds to make sure they arrive safely. Also, it's always a good thing to print "HAND CANCEL PLEASE" on the front of the envelope, bubble, padded, or otherwise. Anyone else have any postal questions? I'll try to answer them. Peace. -Dan |

| This sounds like a wonderfully fun activity!! I'm VERY new, so I don't have any seeds to share this year, but I'd love to join the fun! My wish list is very simple.... Any type of herb, veggie or edible that will be easy to grow for a new community garden. Many of the "gardeners" are kind of old (church members) and none of us have much experience. Hope we can draw from yours! |

| I've read through all the notes and unless I missed one that addressed my question, I can't figure out if seeds need to be in a commercial package or if you break them up into a certain number of seeds per request? What is a suggested number of seeds per variety to send? My thanks for your help. This sounds like fun. Mary |

| Please count me in! Mary- Its up to you really, you can send whole commercial packs if you want, I have, or you can split them up. Or if you collected the seeds yourself you just package them up in little baggies. Usually people send between 15-25 seeds per package unless they don't have a lot of them and then they just send a few. Whatever they can. |
|
| Ok, I have gotten myself all organized. Here is my list! 1) brussels sprouts Happy Holidays!! |

| Just what I need to get me into the Christmas spirit - what a terrific example of when the giving is as fun as the getting! Though I don't have a great variety to offer, I already see some wishes I can fill! I'll post my list at a later time. Thanks for organizing this, I'm really looking forward to it. Bashful_Gardener |

| After reading the want lists I can tell that I'm going to need a lot more envelopes... This swap was absolutely fantastic last year - thanks so much Kym for hosting it again. And I can do a clickable link post to the tradelists if you're still looking for assistance there. Wish List: Thanks so much! ~Amanda |

| Just went through only one of my many tins of seeds and found I have something for most if not every one. I just want to say this again for those with few or no seeds... last year I sent only 2 cards, each with one packet of seed. Thanks to this wonderful swap, and the others that naturally followed it, I can now send seeds to everyone! |

| Over on the birthday threads, I've been "baking" birthday cakes every month, so I'm thinking I should head into the kitchen and whip up some goodies for this swap too! After all, they're related, right? LOL, well, here goes... Enjoy! Peace. -Dan  First, everyone gets a candy cane.  And what's Christmas without sugar cookies?  Chocolate. What else needs to be said?  Anyone want some egg nog?
|
|
| Hi Dan ! Pass me a couple of those sugar cookies and some of that eggnog ... can you spike it please ? lol I am making a list of the wants I see here that I can send ;-) this is going to be so much fun ... I haven't made homemade christmas cards since I was a little girl but I might just have to dig thru my craft supplies and get creative ! ~Iris |

- Posted by booberry85 z5NY (becky@leadsafe.us) on Sat, Nov 14, 09 at 8:12
| Awesome Dan! I'm feeling fat & happy! I snuck a little rum into the eggnog. Hiccup! |
|
- Posted by yotetrapper (yotetrapper@gmail.com) on Sat, Nov 14, 09 at 8:40
| Hey Kym, where's YOUR list? |
|
- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Sat, Nov 14, 09 at 9:51
| Iris, do mean to tell me that people actually serve egg nog without the rum??? Isn't that against the rules? If any of you are into doing simple crafts, making your own Christmas cards is a LOT of FUN! Last year I made simple ones with black card stock and metallic markers, and received a lot of compliments on them, which made me feel good each time! You can get all kinds of decorations from the dollar store, or in the scrapbooking section at wal-mart, and have a great time! Who knew that doing such a simple thing could spread so much joy in the world? Iris, thanks for reminding me! I'm gonna go get some decorations today! Peace. |
|
| Good Point where is Kym's list? We need to send to you also. Karen |
|
| hay dan I'm making my cards this year, I started a few weeks ago, I'm sending for this swap and several others and to friends and family. jeez I hope I have enough. LOL. I plane on addressing and filling them as I recover from my hyesterectomy next week. at least I will have something to do wile sitting in bed letting my DH take care of the kids. I'm hopping my nasturtium seeds are dry soon, alot of people want them but these are still green, some had started to sprout under the momma plant too so I brout some seedlings in and put them in my aerogardens. they did so well this year it was called apricot sprite. well I'm off to clean, I want things in order before friday. michelle |
|
| COUNT ME IN as long as it's OK to only send a few cards. I see several wants I can fill. Here's my want list. Agastache cana - 'Bubble Gum Mint' Euphorbia marginata - Snow on the Mountain |

| It's time to get back to the wonderful people here at GW. I have been fighting off a depression over the past couple months. I am finding this such a hard time of year since John passed. Our 27th anniversary was Nov 5, our granddaughters 5th birthday is the 19, our 2 daughters both have birthdays in November, John's birthday is Dec 3 and our son's is Dec 30. I never expected it to be this hard. Anyway dusting myself off and trying to get back in the Holiday Spirit. Count me in! My wishes are simple: Anything with the name "John" in it If I come up with any specifics I will post when I get back from Disney...I am taking our granddaughter for her 5th birthday on Nov 19. It was a promise grandpa and I made 2 years ago and I will not let this girl down! Kim |

| Plant-one-on-me, so glad to have you with us. Sounds like you have wonderful children and grandchildren to spend the holidays with. That's good medicine. I've found that the folks here are a lot like family. They always bring a smile when I need one. Hugs |

- Posted by chitownladyd Z5 Chicago (My Page) on Sun, Nov 15, 09 at 21:55
 Kim keep you chin up! I can relate. When my mom died a few years back it took all the joy out of the holidays for me. She was the center of our world - our family- and now everyone is scattered and does their own thing. It takes this forum to bring the holiday joy back. With that being said, I'd like to add that I love surprises and if anyone has great seeds that need a loving home send them my way. Also, would greatly appreciate some red castor bean seeds for my red bed. La Donna |

In BHG magazine they have an article about recycling old greeting cards. Visit the website stjudesranch.org for donation info. They support abused, abandoned and neglected kids. The children earn money by removing the front of the cards and use them to make new cards out of recycled paper. They sell the cards in packs of 10. I am looking forward to participating in this! Just an idea for your greeting cards after the holidays. Hope everyone survived Monday!! Heidi |

My wish list: Seed packets -paper , 2x2 or 2x3 in. SEEDS: Fennel Florence ( makes bulb, have common) Any favorites from your garden, especially butterfly and hummingbird attractors. Again, I'd be happy with a few recipes, paper packets or/and a few seeds. Have a great time trading and see you soon, best wishes Kym, you got to have your hands full, I'll wait til you can send me addresses, thank you again. Bea

| I participated last year and had so much fun! I was new and had no seeds to share. I was having a hard year emotionally as I closed my business and decided to retire early. You have no idea what a pick me up it was to come home to the mailbox and find wonderful cards and seeds! It always put a smile on my face! In the spring seeing the plants grow and sharing my bountiful harvest was truly a blessing. I mentor two children three days a week tutoring and enriching their lives and they loved the garden and cooking with our fresh produce. This year I have seeds to share thanks to everyone's generosity. Here is my list! 1. Herbs, any are fun my favorite bread to bake is cheddar cheese garlic chive Looking forward to this! Thanks!

| hello I would like to join, I'm very new but I love to grow plants for butterflies, catepilars, and bees. my mom will help me with the seeds and shipping. my wish list sunflowers milkweed cosmos celiosa flamingo feather patunias violas columbine black eyed susans parsley fennel surprise me thanks Timmy ps this is mom(micyrey) I was very happy to finaly get timmy signed up for GW, he is always asking me for seeds when I get envies in the mail. I will give him some seeds from my harvest this year to package for him to swap with, I will also oversee his lableing and shipping, he will make the cards himself. he is 7 years old so easy to grow seeds would be great, NOID is also good, his fav color is orange. |

| Timmy it is awesome that you are into gardening. I am happy that you signed up!! Heidi |
|
| Hum...not sure can someone let me know if they are clickable? Are the names in blue underlined for you? It may be a computer issue because I see them as links we can click on... Someone test them out please and let me know before I post another list. Thanks!! Doris are you sure you need to drop out you don't have to send a lot of seeds. Just one or two is fine... |
|
| Yep, I checked from another computer and the links do not work... YUCKY... I will post them differently next time and hopefully they will work. I followed the directions.... lol SORRY Karen |

| Karen, the names are underlined, and in blue, and when I click on the name, it takes me to their member page. It might be better if the link was to their actual trade page, but the links work just fine. Now, can you teach me how you did that, LOL? Bonnie |
|
| First time in this swap. Looks like fun. Here's my list: 1. tomato any but brandywine |
|
| They are not showing as clickable links for me either. Heidi |

| My first wish is for a wonderful, loving and safe holiday season for everyone. This is a first for me and it sounds like so much fun. My thanks to all who participate and especially to the Secret Santa Swap hostess, Kym, who obviously donates many hours to make this all happen. Here is my wish list and I thank everyone who takes the time to read it. Happy gardening next spring and a very Merry Christmas to all ... Mary 1) Nepeta fassennii - 'Walker's Low' Catmint

|
| Ok, I see the links on 2 PC's and not on the work Mac.... so I assume it may be a computer thing. I will try to see what I can do for the next posting and make them directly to the trade page not member page. As for how I did this... I did a search on GW on how to post HTML and there are directions. Not too hard... just some code to copy and paste. Karen |
