I mailed a few packages this morning and just prepared a few more to mail this afternoon. You can see whose packages have been mailed or are about to be in the recent events view.

There are a few that I won't get to until Saturday. Either I am verifying an address or waiting for a prize to arrive from ishare, or in one case the envelope will be too big to put in the drop box, which is how I am mailing this second round.

I will be out of town until tomorrow night and will finish up on Saturday except for Jonna. I will most likely mail hers back on Monday.

If I made any mistakes don't hesitate to tell me. Luvgrtdanes, after I mailed yours I had an instant where I thought I left out a prize that should have been in there. Tell me if I did and I will send it along snail mail.

I'll post updates Saturday.

Regards, Alana

Great Duane!
I'm working on getting them all out today except Jonna's, so everyone should have theirs soon. There may be a couple of packs missing from ishare who has had a great deal of trouble getting her seeds from the supplier and then getting them from her to me and snow is now apparently stalling mail on the east coast. If there are any from her that are missing from your envelopes either I or she will mail them out individually depending on which of us has them when they decide to light somewhere.

They are all away except Jonna's and I have to go in for that one. As soon as I get hers out the swap will be closed and all packages will have gone out by the deadline. 😅
I'll start a new thread for the spreading of glee and for reporting anything that might have gone awry.

I'm sorry you had such a hard time Susie. This is a tip for you and anyone else who joins this kind of swap. It would have helped if you had used all baggies instead of tightly sealed envelopes to contain each person's seeds. I was able to tell in seconds if a baggie had the right number of packets in it, which is really all I looked for. A few times I opened the baggie to count packs by hand, which I only did if the number on the packing slip was folded over and I could not see it otherwise or the packs were hard to count for some reason. Most of the time I was able to push packets around in the baggie and count them without ever opening the baggie. Aside from a couple you had in baggies, your white envelopes were so well sealed that they would have been destroyed by trying to get into them to count so I went by the packing label. If I had torn them open I might have caught some of the errors. I should have done that. That's a lesson for the host.

I received a pack from you that is not what it is labeled to be. You got it in trade so you may not have realized it, or you may have put it in the wrong packet. Counting packs would not have detected it. I've made that mistake.
I help myself avoid mistakes by preparing packs as I have time in early fall to get ready for swaps. I do that for a number of reasons, but it does help me keep myself straight on what I have and how much of it there is and I don't get overwhelmed as I add seeds to my swap cache as swap season develops. It does not keep me 100% mistake free, but it helps. Others may have other tips.
