NEW: Hidden Treasures Round Robbin

21 years ago

Ok, LoL!!!

I seen where there are quite a few gal's wanting to get in on a Round Robin, so this ones for you!!! Smiles.

This is going to be a true RR. I will start the box out with lot's of goodies...seeds, bulbs, garden trinkets, handy gardening supplies, and just for fun, hidden surprises in the box! Now, with that said, you have to vow to hide something in the box somehow, cleverly when you get the box. It can be in the same place you found your hidden treasure even.

The treasure can be anything you would like to put in.

I am going to use a flat rate priority box, which will be $7.70 to mail. So make sure you want to spend that much before you decide to sign up. You will also have to pay for confirmation number which is approximately 40 cents.

I am not going to set a limit of how many people can sign up. I am just going to set a deadline for signing up. I would like to send this box out July 1st, so I am going to set the dead line for June 28th. When you sign up, please e-mail me your address, real name, and gardenweb name.

Post on here when you receive the box, and also when you send it back out. Please try not to keep the box more than 3 days.

You can post ideas of what you would like to find in the box, and maybe the person ahead of you will surprise you with a hidden treasure!

I will provide the conf.# stickers, names with addresses in an envelope inside the box. I am also thinking that I will let you choose who you would like to send the box to next, instead of having a preset order.

Ok guy's and gal's, sign up begins in 3....2......1 GO!!!

Have Fun, Tina

    Count me in! This sounds like a great robin. I'll send you my info.

  • 21 years ago

    I want to let everyone know that I have all of your info written down, and the box will still go out as planned.
    One of the gals here only lives about 15 minutes away, so the box will be dropped off at her house, and it will fly from there.
    I do want to suggest one thing, even though I have left it up to you who to send to next, it would be nice if you could send it to someone else that is in your state if that be the case.

    Alos, one of you gal's asked if we should post our suggested wants here...Yes! It makes it fun for both the receiver and the giver. I hope you all have alot of fun with this one.
    I will post when I can.
    Please post when you get the box, and when you send it out as well.
    You can also post what you received from the box!

    Be well, be happy, and love yourselves today.

    Nitelite's Wish List...

    My wishlist may seem a bit simple, but, in all honesty, money is pretty tight right now...

    Brugs [ a few people in my neighborhood have them, but, won't share cuttings... :( ]
    butterfly bush
    daylilys
    I would love a key lime tree..
    ginger [decorative and edible]
    loquot
    pomegranate
    banana tree
    lily of the valley
    rhubarb

    anything really that could survive in zone 9a and 9b

    Things not plant wise,

    Good pair of gloves
    peat pots
    gardening books
    plant books

    Hmmm, i think that pretty much covers it, in all honesty, I'll be happy with anything... I don't have much right now, in reality, I'm trying to get my luna hibiscus to throw out seeds... *grumbles* I've got some butterfly weed i'm trying to nurse back to health...

    I'm trying to dig up and repot all of my cacti, trying to move them elsewhere and until i have the money to fix up a new bed, they need to be pot bound for now... i dug up my flapjacks and lo'en behold, now i have like 20 plants of them when i originally only planted 1... lol.

    Blessed be.

    FYI: I read on one of the other swap threads that both tina and i are a part of, that tina's mom, who had been sick for quit some time, has passed away.

    i don't know if the box is on it's way, but if not, i'm sure that's not a priority right now ~~ prayers and thoughts are.

  • 21 years ago

    Very sorry to hear that. When we get called back, it's a hard thing for the loved ones left behind.

    Tina, you're in my thoughts.

  • 21 years ago

    Hi all. First, I want to thank all of you for your comforting words, and all of your prayers. They mean so much.

    I am getting the box ready to go. Mellen will be the first to get it, and then who knows from there.....smiles.
    Remember to check all of those nooks and cranny's. There may be a hidden treasure in there somewhere.

    Please post when you receive, and when you send the box. If the box looks like it is getting worn out, it would be great if you could pick up another one at the PO and replace it, as they are free of charge. Remember to get conf. # and post that as well.

    I hope everyone finds something they like, and has alot of fun with this one!!!

    Mellen will post when the robin flies.
    I am going to make a new thread for posting the where abouts of the robin, and for listing all of the goodies along the way.

    Remember to try and not keep the box for more than 3 days. If you must, please just e-mail me and let me know.

    Thanks and have a wonderful and safe 4th weekend!!!

    Blessings, Tina
