I bet when the first person gets her package this topic will be on page 5.

You're so right!

Believe it! This sort of thing drives me bonkers.

The person that is getting mine might have one kid or more.....then again, they might not have any!

Just sent my box today...did Priority shipping, so my person should get their box by Saturday.

Ok, I have to give a hint....
my person..
is...
under the age of 100

I'm so sad that I missed the garden exchange!


Next time I'm away for more than 2 days, would someone please e-mail me and tell me to get my butt back on here?

I can believe it Cindy, we are all just a tad bit impatient

Becky sorry you missed it too...:-( next time for sure I heard nov, for x-mas? I think?

haha I just packed my box up...
I have lots of things I hope my person will love...or at least like... I tried to think of my person through the posts she has made... I hope you like it!

How long does it take for something to get from Kentucky to...
.....nevermind. :rolleyes:

Ummm depending on where it is going any where from 2 days to 2 weeks cindy

Ok...Cindy and Rita...Just tell me is it me...?
This is too much...I am afraid to leave to miss anything, I am like attacking brown trucks in the street and mail men...lol

I'm sorry I missed this!! I love sending and getting gardening surprise packages! Next time, count me in!!

How about a Christmas ornament exchange?

Ohhh you know I have this paper with someone who is going to get a big surprise!!I can't wait till they get it !!!

Speaking of Brown trucks, one just came by to deliver to the house behind me. I was at the door and looking out as soon as he turned in the drive and was so disappointed that he was not coming to me. WAH!

And that got me thinking. If someone has me and needs my physical adress for UPS or such, they need to PM Tammy so I can give it. I gave my PO Box but that will only work for mail.

Oh Triss..maybe that's why the brown truck passed you? I did not know the addy....not

poor mail, ups dudes..hey....we are all running in the streets...lol

Yep Angie, that is it, my poor package from YOU is going to get to me years from now when they do away with my PO Box and send everything to my house.

I got my package all done up tonight and ready to send out tomorrow. My poor person is going to be way late getting their gift. I hope it will be worth it!

I like the exchange this time of year (Christmas in July) but I would have to opt out of an actual Christmas gift exchange. I wouldn't be able to afford it.

My package is on it's way. So mystery person your parcel is getting ready to board that plane.

hmm July (1) August (2) september (3) October (4) November (5) D no o nonono! Can't wait that long! I need another before that! And this one isnt even over! Let the addiction begin! I hope everyone knew this is addicting??

my package is lesving today....due south...

Has anyone mailed my package yet?

Cindy, I thought you were patient?????

Good try

She's persistant

I'm mailing mine today....and I may or I may not have you.

I am!

I know I am mailing mine today..

Mine was ordered online and is on its way..Enjoy!

Okay, whoever has my name....you'd better tell me right now! Or else!

next week is going to be soooo exciting...we are posting to it right!

Should I post a picture of the box??

OK...whoever has my name give me a hint!

....Bring on the hints

Who ever gets mine its in a tri-cycle Box

Hints are good

Soo where are all the hints?

Whoever gets mine...it's in a Bird Treat box!
It's a big box!
It's been on it's way a few days now!

DARN IT....THIS SUSPENSE!!!!


I'm starting to feel like Loz , i cant wait!!!

Who ever gets mine I ran out of marker so I had to use different colors

who ever gets mine, it has bright green tape, and little bug stickers all over it,and dragon flies.

very cute...i will have to watch for it

Just checked my mail and THANK YOU CINDY.

Oh. Not Cindy. THANK YOU RITA.

Oh no again. THANK YOU TRISS.

I haven't sent mine yet HAHAA

Ok. I can't read the name on this package. Who had my name? Just so I'll know who to thank.

I havent got mine either

Gotta go back to work. I'll be sending mine out in the morning.

OHHHH THE SUSPENSE!!!!!

Have a good day Sheri

Does anyone know how long it will take from Monroe NC to Kentucky? Or is it Kansas? I think it is Canada. Oh right. It's MA.

So which way is your package headed Angie

------> this way
<------ that way

Just sent mine off in the mail!

to who????

Well I know I got someone and someone else probably got me but I am so confused. So tell me again, Who is on 1st?

Nah I think who is the shortstop lol.

You guys are so much fun.

I really think the next mailing should be the journals. I've been looking at them at the store to see if I can find one that is just right but I haven't found it yet.

Oh Maaaan, I almost sent my person a journal but didnt know if anyone used them......

My hint is--------------from where I live my person is to the west of me..... Then again it could be going east! Or north, or possibly even south.

It might be Cindy! Then again it might not!

It has to be Cindy...we all got her!!!

Who wants to take bet on how many pages of garden exchange speculation we're going to have before everyone gets their gift? We're on 3 now. no gift sightings yet. And we have 3 countries to hear from!!

I cant wait to see the thread where it says...GIFTS ARRIVED!!!!

That's the exact same direction mine was sent!
Maybe we got each other's names!

Me either. I don't know if I'm more excited for me to get mine, or for my person to get theirs!

Oh, goodie!

I cant decide that either...while its nice to get a surprise i love to send things to others and give them a surprise. Jade loves her surprise boxes doesnt she Lisa

Well, I lost already, because I said page 5 of this topic!

mine went -> then -> more. Then its leaving NY.{no one else playing is in NY are they?}

Whoevers name I have is a really good gardener I'd bet.

Well where i am all i can say is that it went south, there isnt many people above me unless your in Alaska ...hmmm.new York, mass, Kentucky,Rhode island, Carolina

Okay I'm confused....my packages have moved over a state from Iowa, but they moved another state in the wrong direction! At this rate my person will never get theirs!

like i said, the postal service is going to be cursing us!!!

I'm sure they are!

My last tracking info was from yesterday morning, so it's hard to say where it is now....maybe on a plane somewhere.

Well, don't send them by boat that's all I can say.

My persons second package is coming from frasier,MI.I wonder if that will beat my box there???

poor Lisa, the main thing is that it got to us and the kids loved their stuff!!
I have a little package for Jade to go as well!

boat LOL! It would take sooooo long to you that way! We'd be on garden echange 99 by the time it got there!

I will let Lisa explain that one to you

Jade will think it's her birthday again!!

I can't wait until everyone posts what they got.

This box is smaller but wait till her Christmas one goes...i have already started shopping!!!

Wrennie, I sent a parcel to Penny by boat. They said 5/6 weeks delivery. 12 weeks later.
That parcel went to China first.

It left Manchester on March 29 and arrived at my door June 23, had a nice visit to China though!!!

we have almost gone through another whole thread on this

March to June! Eeek! LOL And I thought 2 weeks last time I sent to Canada was a long time. Ha!

Was there anything you all bought for your person that you were tempted to keep for yourself?

Nope and she even filed papers to report it missing

EVERYTHING

yes but i ordered more for the store so I wont be missing them for long. Like Penny said, everything!

I can't wait to see who the first person is to get their package! I think Cindy will be last of course!

I gotta get to that store!! I would love to see it, do you have a web-site?

Wish I could of traveled that cheap

I'd be heading south right now!!

Yes. So what I did was buy one the same but in a different colour.

I'm soooo nervous...i just hope ********* likes what I sent them.

I have an information website I dont sell on it because I change my merchandise so often I'd need a crew just to update the website, one to ship and one for here. And it's just me soooo, when they make 700 hour days I'll probably do it. I can send things I have from here if people want to buy. Have done that. Its small but full. I'll see if I can get some good pics.

Gardenmom is that one * for each letter in the persons name?


This is 100
*********close-a-roo*******

G-mom, it's the thought that counts.

Yes, I wanted one of the things I bought but there was only one of them. Even Dan asked why I did not get one for us, he liked it so much!
