@torichisai here is the Q & A that was posted about this swap that might help give you an idea of how the seed swaps work: The thread "Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Thread" in DND's Y.E.S. (Your Every Seed) Swap #10

Oh boy, Diana, thank you for pointing the way to the extravaganza swaps! Green Grin!

I hope Dnd is doing okay, haven't heard a word in over a week...the swap is moved to finished status so hopefully we'll hear something soon. I'm all ears!

You're welcome, Christine.
I hope DND's doing okay, too. I seem to recall her saying that if she couldn't get all the seeds far enough in advance of Thanksgiving that there might be some delay...

Assuming she's got everything marked, there are still 6 packages outstanding. Hopefully those final packages arrive soon.

(I swear this is the worst part of seed swaps. My seeds are mailed off and now I have to wait.)

According to the post office and tracking info, my package arrived on Friday, November 10th, but if it didn't or a porch pirate snagged it, I don't know what to do as I don't have duplicates of any and the cash for the swap was in that package.

I believe there were some Libby said she hadn't opened yet, so I'm hoping mine was one of them, but losing hope with each passing day since it's been almost 2 weeks

I keep receiving emails from Garden.org but when I follow the link it goes to a blank page. I hope I haven't missed anything important and Libby I hope my seeds arrived and I'm not one of the outstanding ones. I sent you the tracking # and then promptly lost the receipt in the mess of papers in my house.. They were mailed two days after the end of the sale so if they haven't arrived I fear they are gone for good. Crossing Fingers!

No worries - we got a treemail today from Libby saying she has ALL SEEDs and plans to mail them out on Black Friday.
Hurray!

That's been happening to me on my phone. If you click the house button, for me it's in the upper left corner, it brings me to the home screen where I can see all the system message alerts, tree mails, and updated chat threads

YAY! thank you. I don't know why I suddenly see no emails when I get a notification. I've figured out how to get to this thread but didn't know if I was missing anything important. Libby had said she'd notified people when she received their packages and I never heard anything so was a bit worried it was lost. Can't wait for all my seeds to arrive! I'm dreaming of Winter Sowing and of a fabulous garden next year. My best gardens are always the ones I see in my mind this time of year. hahaha

You get a message in your notifications when she marks them as received. Click on the bell (if you have unread notifications it will be red, otherwise it's grey).
