I am so glad you liked your box. I hope all the plants do very well for you. Can ya'll believe I STILL haven't gotten mine planted? Well not ALL of them anyway, some are a lot still aren't...SO BAD! I am working on it though really I am...slow going. LOL I was more concerned with getting all the plants/boxes back out to everyone. I am worried about some of the plants, those that look the worse in everyone's boxes were the ones that I TRIED to keep babied but I have found some of the ones that came in were extra touchy plants like: Alstroemeria psittacina and Sweet Woodruff those were not happy upon arrival and I am feared the Alstroemeria isn't going to recover and it is SOOOO pretty. There were a few that were just temperamental but all in all they mostly came out well. I had fun with it and I am sure I am going to do it again in the fall with a few minor changes like maybe staggering the shipments so I can fix the places to survive as soon as I get them! I didn't know some of the plants that were sent in were so touchy or I would have fixed them as soon as they came in BUT I have never grown some of them and I didn't know BUT I do now and I will try to make sure NOTHING in lost on the next one, all in all though I do think everyone got something they were really really hoping for at least I hope so! It has been a very enjoyable swap even though it was very time consuming for me the plants I got in return as so very worth it! I do hope everyone feels the same as I do, about this and does want to do it again in the fall! :) Fran

MYSTERY SOLVED!!! Thank goodness! Well, that was not as bad as I thought it would be :) Hopefully, that will be the worst thing that happens. So everyone knows, yes, I will be sending out envelopes in batches according to who mailed their's in the soonest to latest. But, do not despair if you did not send yours in early, afraid that you will only get what is left over at the end of the pile. I have actually taken the time to work a bit on all the envelopes to make sure that everyone can atleast get a few of their requests if I have them. So know that just because you are not getting your envelope back at the same time as someone else, does not mean that your loot will not be as good as the person before you! :) YES, lots of time into this!!!! Hope that makes some of you late-bloomers more at ease! Christy

Amcfeely ~ I received your very nice package today. All the items are things that I can use and to answer your question no I don't currently have a magnetic pin holder, that will be a nice addition to my sewing room. The fabric is great, please tell your sons that I LOVE their choices; usually I go for more tame (boring) prints, I am excited to have the splash of colors to add to my collection and look forward to working them into a project. The flavored hot chocolates and the recipes look yummy, I like trying new recipes especially with all the potlucks we have at church and work. Thanks. I have been trying to figure out photobucket so I will practice with a picture of my goodies. Marty (Missouri) Wow that was easy....lol
