This was going to be an Easter themed swap but looking at my seed collection I don't really have anything with an Easter theme. ::) Should have looked first !

But on a better note I do have a lot of seeds with colours in their names. So how about a colours of the rainbow swap. After all they say you should eat the rainbow to be healthy ;D. I also think everyone probably has seed with colours in the names in their collection somewhere so may be a little easier.

So if anyone is interested in this then please let me know and pm me.

I think we should keep the list to about 15 so it gets around to everyone fairly quickly.

:)

Hi Suzanne,

I'm so tired of winter and so looking forward to spring, all these Easter preparations make me feel happier.

You are in Natasha - pm me your contact details. So far in the hour this has been posted we have 5 joining in - so hopefully by the weekend the list will be full, I can sort out my seeds and send out the parcel on Monday.

;D

We have 10 players at the moment - which would mean that the parcel goes round relatively quickly. But I can still take it up to 15 and it should still ensure that people get seed in time to sow in March/April. Come what may I will close this on Sunday so I can get the parcel going for Monday.

Looks like I already have withdrawal symptoms from my mega seed fest shop on Boxing Day so I am relying on you all to keep me free of my addiction for Jan/Feb!

;D ;D ;D

I parceled the seeds up last night ready to go into the envelope and be posted tomorrow. The order the parcel will be sent round is:-

Elsie
Flowers of Shona
Jeannine
Bupster
Silverbirch
Natasha
Weed-Digga
Stevens706
Riffster
Blue Bird

As we have a relatively short list this should go quite quickly. But please keep me posted as to when you receive the parcel and when you post it on. Also be aware that I thought I would get the seeds into a A5 padded envelope - no such luck it is going into an A4 padded envelope - so hope your letter boxes are big enough.

Good luck :)

Hooray, that's so soon!
Don't worry about the size of my letterbox, I'll be waiting at the door for this ;)

Elsie, try not to harass the postman, after a few seed swaps with me waiting at the door mine had started to take evasive action. ;D

However after he delivered the spanish seed swap which came in a shoe box I recommended him for postal employee of the month! Since then he has been lovely. :)

Rainbow parcel has been sent. ;D. Keep a watch for it Elsie.

Thank you Suzanne for doing it so quickly, you are a star!

Can't believe it's on it's way to me already! :-*
Wonder if Postie will make it to the door before I open it?

Ooooooooo im excited now :D

elsie · « **Reply #14 on:** January 08, 2008, 12:50:59 »

It's here ;D

elsie · « **Reply #15 on:** January 09, 2008, 00:01:45 »

Gave myself a fright when I opened the carrot pack to take a pinch, the seeds are so big they looked like a mass of bugs! :o
Will try to get this off tomorrow, haven't had much time to sort the seeds out today as it's my daughters birthday, will let you know as soon as it's on its way again.
Thanks so much for this Suzanne.

Posted it this afternoon, hope you enjoy it flowerofshona2007. :)

Suzanne · « **Reply #17 on:** January 10, 2008, 20:29:45 »

Hope your daughter had a great birthday. I had a look at the yellowstone carrots and although a bit bigger than normal carrot seed not really big. Hopefully not too much of a shock? ;D

elsie · « **Reply #18 on:** January 11, 2008, 09:39:54 »

Yes she did, thanks.
It was the Red Elephant Carrots that did it! But I have recovered now ;)

It arrived safely this morning and i have had a look done a few swaps and its packed up ready to send off to Jeannie tomorow ;D
It was my first swap and it was great fun, i loved going through my own seeds and finding 'colours' to add to the pack :D
Get ready in Hull ;D
