WANTED: My Swap Box is Headed Due North!

16 years ago

Yes, it was dropped off this morning and off it goes up the East Coast! Now, let me just say that pretty much EVERYONE is due north of me, so good luck trying to figure who it is:-) I can't wait for my partner to receive his/her box, I hope he/she enjoys it as much as I enjoyed my "Evil Box From the West". I'm glad I finally participated in this swap, who knew it could be so much fun???

Well, Donna, it could be me!
My first swap too, and I bought so many things, then changed my mind, so I will be returning them. I have too many favorite things...
I am sure your swap partner will be delighted with your selections!

I remember posting in a previous swap that a swap box couldn't be for me because it was headed north! But it was, it came from Shaun in Florida! So, I'll not rule it out, Donna!

Brenda - I guess I may be bringing a crowd. My daughter said she will come & carry the 4 grands. Also Donna's son & friend is planning on attending. So that brings their # to 7. I have toooooo much to fit in my car - no room for people. haha

Will do, Karen. If anyone else would like a plain text version of the Composite List e-mailed to him/her, just let me know. If your computer can handle it, you may also download a copy of the Composite List in a variety of formats, including plain text. I was hoping the early start and longer period to sign up and post/revise a list would take stress out of something that is supposed to be fun. There's still a week left to sign up and post or make changes to "seeds wanted" lists!

I have been seriously thinking of visiting the Bickelhaupt Arboretum in Clinton, Iowa this spring and it looks like Chadwick is on the way. Not sure when that would be though. What kind of items are you looking for and what do you have? tj

Kathleen, did you send Michelle a rubber chicken? And would you PLEASE find out if she's got some apple butter in that pantry of hers????

I did agonize a little over what to get my swap buddy. I was lucky to have some help from a forum angel, though:-) There are LOTS of stops on the way to New York, Ms. LAWNG ISLAND!!!! All will be revealed in time.....

I will post a picture when I get my box from Kathleen! I am so excited to get my chicken!

Wow Michelle, you are another canning monster! If I'm ever in your neck of the woods, better lock up that pantry:-) Will you and Joe eat all of the butters you canned, eventually, or do you "gift" a lot of it at this time of year? When I see how lovely everything looks, and I'm sure it tastes divine, it's times like these that I really wish I could get into canning. Maybe I'll try it this year, I have Annie's apple butter recipe that is so good. I made it last spring, but cut down the recipe and froze what was leftover.

I also look forward to seeing your chicken from kathleen!

The chicken should be delivered today but UPS has problems in my area. Whenever there's a sub driver my packages end up at my neighbors which is 5 miles down the road!
