I'm so embarrassed to be so far behind this swap. Don't know why I can't get my act together.

But tomorrow DH and I are taking a little trip and going shopping, so I'm hoping for some inspiration!

Good luck today Sue, hope you find your inspiration!

Due to confursion with the two new members I am sending out six to emily... Time and the gardener (too many words not enough photos lol) Great Garden Decor - please return did not have labels so I wrote name and address on front page. Book has some neat ideas... I want to try one on page 74 with circle and stones on circle as well as brick patterns on page 73 Lawn & garden book. All about azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons The treehouse book, alhtough this book is not really garden. it is inspiring to look at photos and made me feel like a kid again for 10 minutes which made the book worthwhile just because of that! The little guide of herbs. Sorry for the delay emily! I just got 4 trees cut down in my yard what a mess.... Still have carcuses of 2 left in my yard we are trying to cut up.

I gotta fess up. I'm done, too:) With plenty of time left to fret and second-guess. I think I dud good! I like vibed with my partner! I think...I don't know...I'm scared...tapping fingers on table. Get this? I did most of my Christmas shopping on line so I smugly shopped knowing I had a plethora of perfect boxes, with packing and everything, waiting for me in the garage. Oh, the joy. So, I go down to access the situation and they are all gone! He got rid of them! Mind you, I told him when I put them in there that these would make great boxes to mail things! He even got rid of the packing materials! Messing up his garage! Can I add that I bought like the biggest thing ever ? Shaun, I'm still waiting. You could of at least sprung for airfare for froggy:)

hee hee. I think you should send it too. Kind of depends on what , but if you would like two, I wouldn't woorry. Shaun sent me measuring cups in a swap. Of course I already had some, but hers get used daily - as that's something you need more (at least I did!) than one set of...:-) (She also sent me lots of other fun stuff, but you get the idea!)

I'm going out today too. Still not sure on my theme--hopefully something will jump out at me! Have a few ideas, but need to get the inspiration piece first.

When is the mailing deadline? The only thing I saw was "end of February", and I don't want to be miss it. Be forewarned, the paperweight on my desk reads "The Deadline is the Ultimate Inspiration".

I hope to go shopping this week, it's at least an hour one way, so I'll spend the day and try to come up with something. I have no theme, no clues and inspiration...yet! This ones tough for me. But.... I do have some pretty unique places to go looking and the swap is just the excuse I need!

Just hope for good roads, it's been pretty crappy driving along the lake shore for the last couple of weeks. There's been several fatal accidents due to the roads. I need to get out of this house!

I've got two done, and have a pretty good idea for the final item, all of which I hope to have packed and mailed this week. It's definitely not a theme, but that's okay too.
