72 pages of listings, which means more than 1400 packets up for dibs (not including the multiples). Not bad for 20 participants

Ok, thus is weird... This is the first I'm seeing of this conversation. Wonder why it shows an empty post from me.

Well onto better things. TICKETS! Lots of TICKETS! How about we all begin with 50 to start? Not enough? Sure, how about 75? No! You say more? Then 100 it is. Smiling We've all done a great job of digging and come up with some nice listings. I'm so happy with what 21 people managed to do. Pretty outstanding! Thank you all! Group hug

In the meantime, feel free to continue listing if you need to. I'm really excited for tomorrow night!

I had increase my wishlist Hilarious!

Karen,
I cannot recall from last year's lightening swap - do we get partial tickets when our seeds are dibbed on, and if so, what fraction of a ticket do we get? I'm all ears!
I may need to increase the wishlist again Blinking

I had to increase my wish list for the dibs and now I have to do it again just in case I sell something. Whistling

I thought I was the only one making plans for a good lunch so I can let my husband fend for himself later! lol Can't believe the number of tickets available. I feel like I should be doing some hand exercises just to get in shape for tonight.

Karen, having to wish list more is a good problem to have.

I was out running errands with DS and completely forgot he had a class as 12:30. We were across town so I had him call DH and ask him to have lunch and Chris' backpack ready when we flew in there.

Chris started eating his sandwich and said, this is great, chicken. Then I wailed "Oh No, that's dinner!" Luckily my guys like to eat early and they like breakfast for dinner.

Barbara, you go ahead and exercise. I'm going to take a nap so I'll be well rested. Hilarious!

Wow!! That is a lot of tickets. This is my first lightning round and I'm excited! I have a few more things I'm going to list this afternoon. I had both kids and myself down with a stomach bug this weekend into yesterday so I didn't get as many things listed as I'd like. Dinner is in the slow cooker tonight- easy and quick! Hurray!

Good lord! I'm so glad I got on here and caught up with the chat. I've been warning my husband for a week now about today, that I was going to need at least 2 hours of glued-to-the-computer time. What I didn't do is properly plan for dinner. Lol. I better come up with something quick, cause ticket time is drawing near!

Unfortunately I was not able to list as many seeds as I wanted this time, we had a death in the family. I hope I still have some good ones on here for everyone. If anyone misses anything from me, hit me up after the trade, there is a chance I got more that I just haven't listed. As far as dinner for tonight, I am lucky, my husband cooks, so no worries.

I lucked out too since my dh is stuck an extra day on a job out of town! Green Grin! So I don't know, this is my first "power swap"... but I think it's going to be a blast!!
