Description:

Rated I for International

Spring is Coming! Gardens are growing! My daffodils are showing their little heads under the snow!

Ideas: Gardening Gloves, Plant Stakes, Seeds, Knee Pads, Books, Bookmarks, Lotion, Soap, Gardening Poems, etc.

New Note: If your partner is an international one, please read their comments about what and what not to put in your swap packages! Very important! No soil or actual plants is probably a great idea anywhere.

New items or handmade, please. Books can be used, if in good condition.

The dollar amount should be around $10.00 (more if you desire) before postage. Send items you would want to receive!

Please include: 1. A picture of your garden, whether green and growing or resting and snowing! 2. A note about your garden.

What I expect from my swappers

Swapping karma! Please rate your partner according to Swap-bot Rating Guidelines (please read on home page). The rating link will show up in the swap after seven days. If you do not receive a package within about 10 days, please contact your swap partner and me, especially if the sender marks “sent�. No surprises, that way.

If it is an especially nice package, be sure and mark the new little heart feature on the rating options.

The Golden Rule applies here!

No swappers with the following:
1. Below an overall 4.0 rating 2. More than 1 no send 3. No email address 4. Must have a completed profile

Please contact me if you have a question about signing up. I will be checking. I will contact the person if I have doubts, however, no one will be banned before contact is attempted.

What My Swappers Can Expect from Me

I will update comments on swap often. I will send out a reminder notice that mailing deadline is approaching. I will contact you if you have a “not sent� after the mailing deadline has passed.

Happy Swapping! Suzan

Just wanted to let my swap partner know that I'm in Australia so please do not include any seeds or any plant/vegetable matter or wooden items in my parcel as they will be quarrantined by customs. Sorry to be so pedantic but it would be a shame if the item did not arrive. Thanks!

nifwlseirff 01/31/2007 #

I'm also in Australia, as strawberrybear mentioned, customs will quarantine parcels. Please don't send: seeds, plant matter (including packing 'hay'), wooden items, soil, etc. Thanks! ;>

Retromama 01/31/2007 #

Thank you for the much needed cautions! I did not think about customs, and I should have because I sell on Ebay. Customs can be a bit picky! Australia, your gardens will be interesting, glad you joined. I will add the caution about customs in other countries to the swap, very important.

Hi, gardeners, the stores are starting to have neat gardening items on display. Mr. Groundhog did not see his shadow, which means Spring is arriving soon. I do know how much that counts, but there you go!

I have taken a picture of my soon-to-be butterfly garden, soil has been worked. If any of you have ideas for Butterfly Gardens send them to me, please. Last Fall I planted a scarlet flame honeysuckle vine on a trellis (made from an old gate)by the butterfly garden spot. Hummingbirds and Butterflies love honeysuckle. Go to http://www.bombshellomatic.wordpress.com and see some of my very early spring garden pictures. I live in NE Oklahoma. Have a great weekend!

Just to let my swap partner know - if you are considering gloves - I have very small hands with short and stubby fingers. The only type of gloves that seem to fit me are a size small made out of a stretchy material.

Retromama 03/15/2007 #

Hi, gals, just a reminder tomorrow is the mailing date! I am happy to see so many letting their partner know the package is on its way. Thanks, nifwlseirff! I am glad I got someone in Australia!

wigglywourms 03/17/2007 #

Strawberrybear, yours is on the way, too. It might take a little while to get to you from Canada but I did send it by air so hopefully not too long ;o)

cheekywabbit 03/18/2007 #

scrapbookingmom, your package was mailed on the 14th. I hope you like the things i picked out for you. And strawberrybear, I can hardly wait to get your package. I am counting days....thanks

DaCraftyLady 03/18/2007 #

Mandy I got my package and it was great. Thank you so much. I love those little signs to put in thegarden and the book looks wonderful. I can't wait to read all about the garden hints in there. Thanks so much..

alwaysjoy 03/18/2007 #

nifwlseirff, Just wanted to let you know I mailed your package on the 15th (I know I know last possible minute) I sent it ecomony because it weighed a bit and it was going to be a fortune to mail it air.

user2310 03/18/2007 #

Thanks wigglywourms! I'm looking forward to receiving it! (:

Retromama 03/19/2007 #

Hello, gals, we have 3 "no sends", I have messaged each one. I asked for them to check the "sent", if they have sent. If they are going to be late, please contact their partner and me. Two of them look like maybe just forgot or will be late. However, I am worry about one, her ratings have gone down since I approved her. Thinking positive, now, everyone will follow through with their promise! I planted my potatoes, onions, garlic, sugar peas and cabbage plants this weekend. My lilacs are budding! Be sure to check into my blog for further gardening pictures and stuff. www.bombshellomatic.wordpress.com

Debb...your wonderful package came today! Thank you so much for everything...I love it!

Retromama 03/23/2007 #

AlwaysJoy - I've received your package, and uploaded a pic to the photo gallery, and to flickr - thanks!

Retromama 03/29/2007 #

Hi, gardeners, please try to upload pics of your package, so everyone can see all the great swaps! There are still two "no sends", have sent another reminder. Since this is a international swap, it can be expensive to mail, so I am going to wait one more week, then any Angels that want to send an angel package, please let me know. Just two, maybe by next week a big "0"!

Have a great weekend! Don't work to hard in your gardens!

Retromama 04/ 3/2007 #

Hi, it is going to get down to 27 degrees in Tulsa this weekend, probably 24 here! I am going to have to cover my plants that night. Can anyone who did not receive a package, please let me know. I know of two, Megan and Shannon. Anyone else? Anyone? (sorry, just got a flash of Farris Bueller).

maltagirl 05/ 2/2007 #

hey thanks for the great angel package Bombshell-o-matic! I loved receiving it.
