Yay, Christine!

Congrats Christine.

I'll post a game tomorrow afternoon to get us through until swapping begins.

Congrats Christine!

Thanks all.

Let's play a little game to get us to trading time. I'm going to call it WINGO because I'm just winging it at this point.

Choose 10 words from my list below if you would like to play. Drop me a tree mail with your chosen words so I can check up when we have a winner. I'll call a word or two each day until someone has called WINGO. If there are more than one winner, the first to call WINGO here will be the winner.

I'll give 24 hours for people to check in and get their list to me before I post any WINGO words.

It's Christmas so the gift will be $10 cash to buy yourself a little something or a special packet of seeds.

Yes Alana, please play along!

Merry Christmas! Wow, Lisa, what a generous gift, like one of Santa's little helpers spreading cheer!

I have wingo words from 6 players.

I'm going to wait until after dinner to post the first set of words/word. This will give others that were busy yesterday a chance to get in on the game.

Lisa

Thanks Ishareflowers for WINGO and your generous prize. Happy One Day After Christmas Day Everyone!!!

I WON'T BE CHECKING PLAYERS WORDS. I'LL ONLY BE LOOKING AT YOUR CHOSEN WORDS WHEN YOU YELL OUT WINGO.

Okay, today the chosen word is...WINTER

I waited too late to send words, but that's okay. I need to concentrate on getting the seeds for Patricia's swap finished so I can dig out a few more seeds to post and get set up for the opening of this swap.

Right now we are at 49 swappers, which was the number bluee predicted. Will that be the final number?? We will know Saturday at midnight eastern.

Crossing my fingers poisondartfrog, it would be a great way to start off 2017

On a side note, is there a feature on our settings where we can get notified when someone posts something? On gardenweb, when I participate in a swap, I get emails of postings to that swap.

Alana, send your words, just don't choose winter as one of them.

@bluee19 - I haven't tried it, but above the "Post a Reply" box, on the right hand side, is a link for "Watch this thread." Wonder if that might get you what you want...?

Bluee, depending on your settings, if you post to a thread you will automatically "watch" it. To do that click on the little person icon at the top right of this page and select settings. Update those accordingly. If you want to watch a thread you have not participated in use the Watch This Thread link Mrs.B suggests.

You don't get a tree-mail, but your home page will highlight a thought box red when a new post has been made for a thread you follow so that you will know to check that topic.

Good morning,

I forgot to post a word last night.

Today it will be two words to make up for my error.
