A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat Spring Gift Swap ~~ Who's next???

The box I mailed was really big!!

That's cool that Jiffy can tell us things like that to help, but without giving anything away!

Loz where did you and your MOM find the chillin with the gnomies Book??

Some mighty good gifts are winging their way around the world right now. This is fun.

It's fun getting to see what everyone gets, but the anticipation for them is as fun as for yourself!!!

Hope you get yours soon, Tina! I wonder who it will be from?! Maybe you will get it tomorrow.

I know!!!!...I keep this screen open, no matter what else I'm reading or posting!!! I can't wait until the next one!!

well, my shipment has had 3 1/2 days to travel and it is a little over half way there. honest those little ponies LOOKED
faster than that! be patient, tracking says it will arrive wednesday.
good things come to those who wait!

That's really taking a long time!!!
Glad it's not coming to me!!!!

My front door is pretty well hidden by some bushes and so close to the road you'd really have to slow way down to see where he left my package. If it was raining he would have taken it back with him.

Triss BF saw my rain gauge and thought it was really COOL! He said he always wanted a rain gauge. {{UH MINE buster!}} Never told me that. I sell rain gauges at the store. Not willy ones though. Anyway, so I told him he should put it in the garden. And you see where it went.

Where is that Gnomies book from? Is there a publishers name on the back? I am always looking for Willy stuff for my store.
I looked for my new birdfeeder online and apparently its not something I can get.

wouldn't want to say where its going of course, but i just checked on my shipment and it has been handled NINE TIMES since it left my town. one of us lives in the boonies
i hope to heaven i am as good a packer as i think i am and nothing gets broken!
i really DID send in by UPS, not PONY EXPRESS - HONEST

at Patunia!

And cool on the rain Triss!

Look what I found on that website? It's a notebook not a diary but still....

chillin with my gnomies

Wow, they have photo albums and stuff like that too!

Just look around in the stationary section!

Look at the bottom of here, they have a hat set and magnet too!

more chillin with my gnomies

Thanks for the esite!
We got rain here too! Not enough to register though.

OMG, sorry to keep adding more...but I found the motherload of chillin with my gnomies stuff!

I checked out that site! That is so cool! They have totes and compacts and everything with gnomes on them!

i know where I'm shopping next gift game!!
I'll have to see if they do wholesale & I can sell it at my store!!

I can't wait to see who'll get theirs today. I'm hoping someone does! I love seeing what everyone gets! You guys are such great gift-givers.

I hope I get something today! My b/f ordered something for me and I know I've got a secret pal package coming also. I could really use a nice suprise.

I'm home and feeling much better.

Thank you all for your well wishes and kind thoughts. The doctors at the 2nd emergency room were much better than the one at the first emergency room.

I have the box from Faerywatcher open and will post a picture in a minute.

Stay tuned.....

Can't wait to see what you got Jayhawk!!!

Glad your feeling better Jayhawk,you will start feeling even better now your home. I cann't wait to see your stuff, who's it from

The suspence is killing me.......

If my package arrive I am out of town. I live on the road. LOL!!!!

Do not feel that I do not appreciate your package I am just not home to thank you for the package. I travel with my laptop wireless connection so I can do the internet anywhere and a cell phone, I am never out of touch electronically.

I am enjoying reading about everybody's packages.

I'm waiting in suspense too--come on, I just came back from the dentist and half my head in numb--I need something fun to do!!

I'm glad youre home and feeling better Glenda!!

Cinta I'd be calling home every day to see if there was something there for me! I'm not very patient when it comes to presents.

Sarah can you even smile for anyone with a numb mouth??


Oh


by the way


I mailed out my pals package today!!!

I can manage half a smile, Wrennie.

SO I can expect my present in a few days? :wink: :wink:

Glenda I'm so glad you are home, and doing better!!

I saw all of it Loz!!! I want the PJ's too so I can even sleep and Chill with my Gnomies

maaaaay beeeee, maybe not.

Can't wait to see Glenda's pictures! And hopefully my person got their today from the post office--since it's sitting there waiting on them and all!

Well Loz, it couldn't be that your waiting on, my post man always leaves things on our door and there was no notice in my mailbox.

I plan on finishing my shopping on Friday, now that my car is running well enough, and I'm off that day with no kids, and I'll be paid again, I can finish and get my box out. The latest would be Monday but I'm aiming for Friday.

SHe just called me she was having problems with her photo bucket She's working on posting now!!!

I'm sorry for such a long minute.
I left my computer for just a few minutes and when I came back nothing on my log-on worked. My husband's stuff all works as does my daughter's. :/

Ok, drum roll please, here's what you've been waiting for



Faerywatcher was very kind and sent me nothing for the garden.

Faerywatcher you are the best gift giver!!

She sent:
blue clips so I can roll up the quilt as I work on it; very usefull

spot remover; Always good to have around

a needle nest for my needles; she must know how easily I lose them

a chalk marker; I use them a lot

a thimble to keep me from getting holes in me; I have enough holes now thank you

a portable sewing kit; lots of usefull things in it

a wonder quilt journal to help me keep a record of the quilts I actually finish; I'l keep it for future use

a nice plastic storage box; I can think of several uses for this

and last: a lovely card with the names for the beautiful flowers shown; Is it a hint that I should at least start to think about becoming a gardener? hmmmm.

Thank You Faerywatcher

Wonderful gift! And I too am glad that your feeling better.

Fantastic stuff you go there Glenda!

I really enjoy seeing the pictures of what everyone is getting!

Great gifts you got!! All things that a quilter can use!!!
Good job faerywatcher!!!

So glad you are home and better, Glenda!

Really good sewing items you got Glenda!!!
That quilt holder is great!!!

Awwwwww you have a touch of gardening in you after all,when I visted you I got a piece of your Hydrangea, and autumm sedum, Both of which are coming up here!! YAYYYY, ANd you have rose bushes in the front of your house!! And wasn't you trying to get a lilac bush growing!!?? Okay At least your Hubby was.. wasn't he???

I know you enjoy quilting and basket making more tho!!! fareywatcher great picks for Glenda Gift(s)

Glenda, what great gifts! I saw your box and my first thought was -- scrap box!! Now I've gotta go get one!

GLENDA, i'm soooo glad you are home. i'm also relieved that you liked your gifts! you did'nt seem that much into gardening, so i was at a total loss!!!!! that is all i do! when i saw you make quilts and such, i thought---ok, if i did this, what would i use? i went to hancock fabrics-where i had NOT been in years and took several wild guesses. they have craft stuff and everything. i was surprised! maybe i will take up some crafting in the winter months when i can't play outside.

stay well and i will check on ya later!

my computer takes soooo long that i haven't gone back over the pages of who got what from whom. maybe i will try to see-----

no package for faerywatcher yet.....

WOW! i just read thru the 10 pages, there is some great gifts everyone has gotten. wrennie and triss, funny on the willy rain gauge! this is soooooooo fun seeing what we all got. i go to the post office everyday----which i NEVER do-----just bills so far.....maybe i live too far out in the country?!? haha

glenda, are you sure you were not hospitalized for a nervous condition brought on by waiting for a present? geeze, what some people will go to......heehee

I'm sure that wasn't the problem.
