Tammy thanks for hosting December. You have so much going on!

Yes but it has been so much fun this month!! I love the swaps we have but most of all the friendships that are created.

My Baker Creek Whole Seed Catalog landed today. It has bigger pages and a few more of them this year. Perfect reading for the day after Christmas. Who else has this to enjoy with hot cocoa?

I have bought seeds from Baker Creek, they have a great selection of seeds and some I have never heard of. Hope I get my catalog soon.

Hot Chocolate sounds good too!

Well, OBF friends this year they had a one day sale five dollars for their The Whole Seed Catalog. I forgot to wait for that. Last year we warned each other. It was only on NOON December 17 to NOON December 18, so watch for it next year.

Shirley, they have those flower seeds you like, the black pennies.

Anyone have a Bingo yet?

nope, five more to go

3 more for me.

3 more for me also

My stocking was delivered on the 18th of Dec. Put out for delivery at 9:08 am and picked up by individual at 1:17 pm. I don't understand why haven't heard anything. It was a nice stocking stuffed with lots of goodies she requested and some extras. I am sure she got it, or she'd be on here wondering where it was. But she could acknowledge it, even if she didn't put up pics. It bothers me a lot! Hope all are having a good day! Melinda

I am sorry that Hannah hasn't posted. I checked and Hannah Owens and her mother Kim King are using the same address. Maybe Kim will come on and let us know whether she received it or what has happened with Hannah. I Sent both a PM. Hopefully we will hear something soon from one or both.

I need 2 more I . Just a quick pic of the fruit tree . for a first try , happy with it. Oh now the clean up.

Hannah, the kids have come and now are back home safely. I opened he last packages and added an ornament to my tree a pair of note pads to my purse and some sugar free gum to my stash of goodies I want to thank you properly for your thoughtful stocking full of gifts.

Tammy the swap has been great fun and I want to thank you for hosting.

Hope all are safe , warm and dry. So many places with serious weather to be thinking about including here in the Ozarks. Tremendous amounts of water everywhere. Seems the system of dams and lakes are working as planned to keep us safe

Thoughts and prayers continue for all with health concerns for their selves, family and friends.

Bethb

Hannah posted a separate message for me on the round robin site. She said it was beautiful and she loved it! I can rest at ease now for sure! I am glad she liked it, I went to a lot of thinking to make her first swap a good one.

So were are all done and I want to thank you Tammy for doing the swap! I really enjoyed it!

I need two more.

I think somebody should have a bingo by now as we are past 17 words... Hmm!

yea Christine

Grats, Christine!

Melinda-Sorry you have been worrying about your stocking being received. Annie did address this in a swap a couple of months ago.

LADIES PLEASE HAVE THE COURTESY TO LET YOUR SWAP PARTNER KNOW YOU RECEIVED.

Tammy-Mentioned this in her original post and if you can't get a picture for whatever reason you can type out a thank you.

Post pictures of your stockings when you receive them.

Christine-Congratulations on BINGO!

Shirley

So sorry Melinda

Hannah Owens(8)9 hours ago

My stocking was so incredibly beautiful it was above and beyond everything I had hoped for and more. Three different colored Rose of Sharon seeds, many glittery stickers, an agenda, 3 beautiful nail polishes, chocolate candy canes, gardening gloves, a si.ver acrylic paint, AND many types of shake glitter and glitter glue which I have already used on several bows I make. Thank you so much, it was truly one of the most thoughtful gifts I have gotten. Thank you everyone for including me in your group. I have been away for awhile to visit friends during the holiday. So sorry for the long delay. I am also sick right now but hopefully I get better soon because I received so many wonderful seeds and bulbs for Christmas that I can hard,y wait to plant!

Merry Christmas and happy New Year to everyone!

Everyone: Just saw this post from Hannah in the General Round Robin Exchange instead of the OBF group. So I copied and pasted her response from earlier.

Congrats to Christine for winning our Bingo game.
