So how did Day 2 go for everyone? I think we had everyone on board today, so it was a great swapping frenzy the last several minutes! Did everyone get some good things tonight? For me, it's still at that point where I'm eager for tomorrow already because there are still a good number of 'high want' items on my list that I haven't dibbed yet. Hopefully it's that way for most of you, too. Don't worry, though, tomorrow will come and so will more tickets. Big Grin

(Note to everyone, don't forget to check out Michael's new additions to the seed swap! It looks like there are some good things there. Thumbs up )

I got everything that I gave three stars!

It is fun, and I'm finding that 10 members makes it less overwhelming to pick out my favorites.

I thought it would be fitting to post a reminder about the end of the swap in this thread...a fitting way to bring this thread full circle. Smiling

This is just a reminder that we are down to the final few hours of the swap! Remember, it is possible someone could choose something up until the last minute, so those of you that have begun packaging, remember not to seal your envelopes or boxes until you get the official notice of the end of the trading period.

At that point, you will receive a checklist of what each person is getting from you so that you can bundle everything easily.

Please remember to include these checklists in your bundles!

If you have any questions about anything, please don't hesitate to ask. I will still be checking these threads to help you out. You can also Treemail me privately if you prefer.

I really hate to see this end. Although I've gotten what I wanted, I'm going to miss the daily chatting we've been doing. That's been a huge part of what made this swap so great for me. I do look forward to yakking in the forums with you all but this was way more sweeter for me. Group hug

LoL, Jim!

I do think it's like a little mini family in a way in here. Sort of like seeing long-distance relatives at the holidays...We may go our own ways for now, but there will be future rounds of swapping where we'll reconvene and enjoy each others' company again. Smiling Group hug

Until then, grow, harvest, and be merry! Big Grin

Whoops ... trading is over! Time to pack.

>> I'm going to miss the daily chatting we've been doing.

Me, too. But I'm going to keep posting on some of these threads, at least to describe my chortling and gloating over the seeds when they come back.

And if I try any wintersowing again, I'll mention it here and take photos.
