Yeap I'm in, sign me up Holly

This sounds like fun Amanda! Sign me up!..."sweeping off the veranda steps and setting out the cookies"

this one would be easy for me to do... I live in my favorite vacation spot! beaches, lakes, water, great dining, lots to do, tons of festivals, tons of musical events, vineyards, orchards, wineries, you name it, I've got it at my doorstep. can I get an amen from those of you who've been here to Traverse City?
the only thing that keeps me from joining is the seeds requirement, I have none to trade. this year they all went into the ground, either on my small little "farm", or at my parents' farm. if someone would prefer to receive only plants, and no seeds, I'll join in. so, for now, put me down as a lurker, okay Amanda?

Peace.

Sounds good Dan, I'm sure we will have someone willing to trade plants only :)

So we have:
Amanda (host)
mamasllamas (Holly)
lindaruzicka

Lurker: Dan (plant only trade)

I'll trade plants only with Dan

Great! Thanks Holly!
So we have:
Amanda (host)
lindaruzicka

OK, where are those other lurkers/participants? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Please join, it will be fun :)
Amanda

Holly, that's great of you! Thanks! Since you and I already know who we're traded boxes with, we can go ahead and send them to one another if you'd like. When would be good for you? And, could you send me your address?
-Dan

I'll lurk for now. If I join, I'd also have to do plants only.

This is cool! Holly and I have already traded addresses, and will be opening our boxes when the rest of you are still getting your partners...hehehe.

OK, if it's OK with everyone we are going to just do plants only! No seeds! Let me know if this is a problem
Amanda

The new group:
Amanda (host)
lindaruzicka
sakura_komichi

Dan (dan_the_mailman) trading with Holly (mammasllamas)

So I think we will do just the plants, no seeds. If someone would like to trade seeds we can make arrangements. The rest of the swap will go as planned, with the 2 other items to represent your vacation spot!

Lets see if we can drum up some more people! It really will be fun :)

This sounds like fun! I'd love to participate. Please sign me up! Thanks.

Ok.... anyone else want to join?
Still a couple days left!

Holly's box is packed and in the car, waiting to go to work with me tomorrow morning. The dc# is 9405503699300275053328.

Peace.

Great! Thanks Dan! :)

Looks like we will have lindaruzicka trade with suegardens2.
If we get another participant I will trade with them.
Sound good?

Amanda, if no one else joins, how about a 3-way trade? You send to Linda, who sends to Sue, who sends to you. That way, you get to play too.

oh, that might work. Thanks for thinking of us :) Would that be OK with everyone?

I sent my box off.............to Dan the Mailman

Great! Thanks Holly!
The sign up is now closed!
I am going to have to sit this one out actually, having some problems with my broken ribs lately, fell off a horse! Long story, it involved a cat and a horse and me and was not too much fun :)

SO.... lindaruzicka will be trading with suegardens2!

Thanks guys! Be sure to post what you received here too.

OK my box arrived packed full I don't know how Dan got everything in there full size plants, 3 dozens of iris! And extra goodies to boot! whoever gets Dan to trade with next will really be one happy camper! Dan has gnomes so the next trade knows......... more gnomes :) coming your way Dan!
Loved my trade Holly

My box from Holly arrived today, full of plants! There's a new butterfly bush, lilies, irises, and a hot papaya echinacea! I've been trying to establish a patch of those in the yard this year, and with Holly's added in, I've now got them from 3 different sources, which will give me a strong showing of seeds for years to come! Yippee!!! I thoroughly enjoyed reading the letter she included, and plan on lighting the candle later tonight when I've got the house closed up and the air is on. Holly sent some elephant garlic for planting or eating, so I think I'm going to include it in the bbq sauce I'm making for tomorrow's ribs...YUM!!! Holly also included a watercolor print card by a local artist, and a cool postcard, showing off Kentucky, which is a great place to visit. The plants are now soaking in water and I'll be planting "a touch of Kentucky" tomorrow in my yard. How cool is that?
And, get this y'all. (that's my impression of Paula Deen, like it?) Holly is ALSO painting a dried gourd birdhouse for me and sending it when it's done. All I can say is...WOW!!!

Holly, THANK YOU!!!

peace.

Great theme Amanda! This looks like so much fun! I'll be lurking to hear about everyone's vacation memories. :) grace
