Hi Dawn
I haven't seen my pals name on the list - luvs2garden. Is she still in, if not to whom do I send? Wouldn't be fair that I receive a gift (thanks Barb!! I hope you keep warm up here) Let me know.
Claudia

Hi Claudia! I sent you an email last night. I will send you a personal one again as well. Lovestogarden is not in the swap anymore. Did you send to her for Nov? If not don't send for Nov. to her. If you did then that's ok you can pick up your new pal in Dec. I will email you the details. Thanks, Dawn

PS-Don't forget to post your December ideas guys!!!!!!!

Thank you,Dawn,for going through all of this for us. We love you!!! It should have been lots of fun for everyone, and each one receive their packages.
Here are a few ideas for my wishes, but I am filled with gratitude with whatever I receive, so my pal doesn't have to go to extreme measures just to fill anything on here, OK?? Just tried to name a few things.

Almost anything antique
Moisturizers
I love John Frieda Shine Release shampoo.
Canning lids (I do a lot of canning)
Grilling seasonings
Floursack type dish towels
Hoya starts, except H. carnosa, I have
Purple Passion plant or starts
Plant pots
Plant stakes for ID
Apple kitchen items
Quartz minerals

Hope this helps a bit. Thank you so much. : ) Treasa

TeeHee-I love you to Treasa. Your making me blush! LOL.
btw, Treasa- If you don't happen to get a Hoya carnosa start from Santa I may have one for you in the spring/summer. That is if my plan works out! ;)

Is anyone mixed up about who they are sending to for this month?
Tina~ did you get my email about your pal? Is that ok?

3 more weeks till Christmas guys! Better start posting some wish lists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dawn, could you please resent the info? We had a virus that completely wiped out our hard drive.

Your package is going out Monday. Sorry so late. Certain unforseen cicumstances kept me from mailing when I had planned.
Thank you for being so wonderfully patient.

Merry Christmas Everyone,
Tina

Dawn, I have Hoya carnosa, it's other ones I still would like to have. Thank you. I have sent my pal her December package, to avoid the Christmas mail rush. Sorry about your computer, Tina. Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. Merry
Christmas! Treasa

Hi Tina. I resent your info for you. Where is everyone? Out shopping I bet! lol. I have been sick as a dog over the weekend --but i am feeling better now. I guess Flu shots really aren't 100% effective. Btw--I have learned that this swap ends in April, if anyone else was wondering!

Stay healthy and post those December gifts (and Nov.also I guess) soon (I hope...........)Dawn

I got a box for November today from Hummingbirddaisy! Thanks Tina. Although I dropped the swap I jumped in for Nov. to get a few things straight. Today I got my Nov. box and it made me smile! It's been a while since I got a gift! I got tealight candles, lotion, Sweet Pea shower gel, CANDY--love it and I am eating it now, of course!Sweet little garden statues and around 30 bulbs! Thanks a million for those! I don't have many bulbs and I love them ! 4 different Crocus' and ALiium bulbs! Thanks so much Tina!!!!!! Dawn

Julus, Your package will be arriving late. I'm sorry.
It will come with your January package, and then from there on, the packages will show up on time.
Tough month here. I should have been better prepared.

Wishing all of my gardening friends (which is ALL of you) a Very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year filled with health and happiness.
Tina

hi, everyone.. finally my box went out.. postoffice said it should get there before xmas...erica

so sorry it took so late.....next month i will be better i promise....

Rec'd a box from my pal(Erica) today. There were beautiful chimes to ring in the New Year, a photo album, a lovely picture frame and some hand lotion which my poor hands are deeply in need of this time of year. Thanks Erica. I hope you and everyone have a Great Holiday season! Barb

I hope my pal doesn't have pneumonia again. Please be well, Flower1 Flower 2. I haven't heard from her yet this month. If I should get a box Christmas week and I don't respond with a thank you right away, it will be because I will be down in Gulfport, Mississippi, as a volunteer that week. This will be a new experience for me, and I'm very excited about this mission. I'm going on Christmas Day. : ) Treasa

Just wanted to wish everybody a Merry Christmas.The Dicember package for my pal is finally ready to be mailed -sorry for the delay.
Claudia

What an air head I've become!! I forgot to thank my pal Barb for the Dicember package. I received it yesterday. A beautifully decorated terra cotta bowl, a Christmas Ornament and as always a handmade card. Thanks so much Barb. The bowl fits perfectly in my collection - how did you know?? Merry Christmas
Claudia

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday!

I wanted to post that Tammy's (outapatience) husband emailed me and said that she was in a car accident early in Dec. and has just gotten out of the ICU. She asked that he sent out the message that she is doing better and will be sending out her package as soon as she gets home. He also said that her package from her pal has arrived and is waiting for her under the tree with her other presents and they thank you for sending her gift.
Dawn

Tammy, sending you good thoughts, and prayer going up for a quick recovery. I'm so sorry to hear of your car accident.
You will be in all ofour thoughts and prayers.

God's Blessings,
Tina

I am back from Mississippi. I'm so very sorry about Tammy's accident. I am very grateful that my son (age 30) was uninjured in an accident on Dec. 23 that killed two people. My heart aches for the families. Tammy, please take care. You are in my prayers. Love and hugs, Treasa
