Happy, Happy Birthday Sakenya....Enjoy and have fun!!

Annie

Ruth, I am with Susan....my list shows that "sowing method" has NOT been chosen. But I would prefer that it NOT be chosen...HINT HINT....LOL! Good Luck Susan!!

Annie

this game is getting too close, so FUN!!!

Okay, 3 words left, lets have 3 Bingo winners.

1st winner chooses first: 3 packs of seeds from 1 picture, 2 packs from other picture (total of 5 pack)

2nd winner chooses next: 2 packs of seeds from each picture (total of 4)

3rd winner chooses next from what's left: 2 packs from one picture and 1 pack from other picture (total of 3)

.....

does that mean we can call bingo now or have to wait to see our words? I need cottage garden and hardy annuals.

The need for seed .... Ruth this is like offering candy but wait till after you finish cleaning your room.

You have to wait to see your word pulled.

Hubby just came home for lunch. I will have my daughter pull another word after lunch.

Daughter is pulling another bingo word from the three left......

Drum roll......

cottage garden

--------------

Will pull another word later if we don't get 3 winners before then.

I do not have sowing method crossed off my list so don't think it was pulled. Ironically I need all three of the last words.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes, I truly appreciate it. And I'm enjoying the Bingo "suspense".... :)

I just checked my tracking # on Nikki's package and it was delivered to a PO box yesterday morning. Maybe she hasn't picked it up yet.

Sorry about that.

This Bingo was fun! I had a meeting when you chose the last word but glad made it in time to be the third place winner. I hardly win bingo!

Thank you for hosting Ruthz!!

Hello everyone, I can not believe I won bingo. I never win anything until this month. :) I received Shirley's package and it as a good one. Thank you very much Shirley. She sent me a aloe plant, a air plant (that I have really been wanting) and mixed tulip bulbs. Shirley sent mixed cactus seeds and sunflower, Evening Sun seeds. She included a Kind Vanilla Almond bar and Twix candy bars. There was also a recipe for Frosted Cauliflower and a book titled Simple tips for gardeners. Thank you so much Shirley you are way to kind.

vina

ps... and on the Jack the Destroyer front. Came home yesterday to find my sweet boy running around with the direct tv dish in his mouth like a frisbee. He ripped it off the pole and dug up all the wiring to the house. Hubby is fixing most of it today but I think we have to order a new dish, unless they work with chew marks all over them...****mantra time****he's just a baby, he's just a baby, he's just a baby...****

Vina....Jack the Destoyer is a STUD.......never a dull moment!!!! Personally, I much prefer my animals having lots of spunk and being a little "dangerous"....so Jack would fit in around here just fine..... Is your husband laughing?

Happy Sunday!

Annie

Sorry I have been missing for a few days. My husband and I were away in Virginia looking for a new home. This is our second trip. Our first was to decide where to live and this one was to look at houses. This past weekend made us realize this is the right decision for us. The state is absolutely beautiful and we even found a great log cabin. We are going to wait and see if it stays on the market while we finish up getting our house ready to list. If we lose it, there will be more but we are excited now to go ahead and make the move.

I do want to thank some friends for some Happy Birthday greetings I received. Much thanks to Erica for her cute note and the stickers, the beautiful card from Melissa, and the cute card from Ruth along with a birthday dollar. How thoughtful of all of you. Many thanks. Margo

Ruthz ~ Rec'd my Bingo prizes and thank you for the Rudbeckia Irish Eyes, Black Swan Poppy, Garnet Rose Lettuce Romaine, and Zinnia Illumination seeds plus a bonus of yummy Unforgettables Dark Chocolate which says on the label: supports memory, concentration, and recall - I know my husband will fight this from me :)

THANK YOU FOR THE LOVELY PRIZES and FOR HOSTING IN JANUARY. It was loads of fun fun fun.

Ruth thank you for hosting this month.

Found this just wanted to share it.

Ruth,

Thank you for the prize package. Again I can not believe I won anything this month. I usually don't. I appreciate everything you sent. It is a great package.

Thank you very much and I can not wait to start the seeds.

Faye!

I did receive Faye's lovely package. I haven't seen it yet, but it arrived in the mail and my dgt. told me I would like it. Thanks so much Faye! Hopefully I will go home on Monday and check all my mail. Will post more then! Have great day everyone!

I kinda got sidetracked toward the end of this swap with feeling sick every day and then surgery.

Please let me know if I missed anything.

Hopefully everyone got the seeds and anything else I was supposed to send.

I finally got home and found some wonderful surprises! I got Faye's package and had wonderful seeds in it, magnet, and homemade card! You are great at that! I also got Ruth's 2nd place Bingo prize and am thrilled with this! Thank you both so very much! I am sorry took so long to get home and do thank you's! I hope all are well and things are good for all! Have a great day!

Good to hear your home.
