Thanks all for making this a wonderful swap for so many of us! Your efforts will be greatly appreciated by many! Julie |
I just posted my collected seeds. I also posted a want page. |

Julie, I mailed out the seeds today. With luck they should arrive by the end of the week.Thanks for hosting. BB |
Hi Julie, I mailed me seeds out today: ) Remy |
Hi there- I have received seeds from Northerngirlz3, Bogartbaby, Nettasaura, Atravers, and KayEmEll! I am wondering what my mailperson is thinking.... I have received a few requests to send envelopes with delivery confirmations with stamps to cover the cost- or the small amount needed to do this in the package- which I can easily do- no worries there. If any of you want me to do this for you- I would ask that you cover the costs for this. It is not a large amout- but multiply it by 33- and it adds up. Either add it to your package- and write out the request so I know what you want me to do- or if you have sent your package already, with out this request, and think you want to add this feature to your return envelope- send me a note snail mail with your GW Name and again- what you want me to do with the enclosed "material". An e-mail may be prudent as well- then I know you want this and will look for your snail-mail. I have never used this service that the post office provides- but I am sure it is easily done! Things are looking good!! Julie |

hi there..the seeds went out yesterday! pam |
I have received Millybug/Mildred's seeds- |
Mine are on the way. Hopefully you will like the quality. I didn't send that many packets but tried to send the best! |
My seeds went out this morning. I sent as many as I had that I thought people would enjoy! Andrea :-) |
So cool! Thanks guys! So many of you are putting together just what everyone wants for this swap!! It is sure to be a great swap for everyone involved!! I received seeds from lisam627_ohio_z6 today. I am getting the lists and the sorting boxes ready.... Julie |
- Posted by sandysgardens 4MN (My Page) on Thu, Nov 9, 06 at 21:04
Juls - Seeds are on there way! Talk to you later. |
Hi Julie! My seeds went out in yesterday's mail. I hope everyone enjoys them. Many of them do not have a huge quantity, but most of the plants are unusual or different and all of the seeds are very fresh. |
Hi there! I received seeds from Remy and MallowMallow today! That puts us over the half way mark for seeds received in- all before the mail by- date!! Thanks guys!! Julie |
Hi again! The mail today was extraodinary!! 1 large box!! - Thanks Limequilla!! So many nice suprises for so many in there- And 6 overstuffed envelopes!! Ok- so one was a Round Robin that I am participating in- It took me a minute to realise that- I was busy digging for the want list- and really beginning to worry.... before it dawned on me! I received enves today from Squanzon- SandysGarden- Audry81- Scouttiegirl- Mamabirrd and TammyMN brought her seeds by yesterday when she came to help set up for sorting. Thanks Tammy - and all! Julie |

--bump-- |
Hi there- I have received seeds from mkRuby7, abcGirlTX and PattyGrow5. BadZoe has elected to not participate- no worries there though- she assures me, she is busy and will catch another RR as time allows. I expect Lynnsherbs and Leftwood will be bringing their seeds by this weekend. That leaves AntiqueGardenFairy and BethBKodiak's seeds to arrive and we will have a complete, ready to be sorted swap. I see that BethBKodiak mailed her seeds back on the 6th of November- but I have not seen them yet. I do hope they are safely on their way. I will start sorting in earnest this weekend! Till later- Julie |
- Posted by kayemell z5PA (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Nov 18, 06 at 14:39
Julie -- You're the BEST! Thanks for doing all this work. May you and those you love have a wonderful and Happy THanksgiving. Warmly, Kristen |
Hi there- I wanted to let you know I am busy busy busy- sorting and sorting! Leftwood- TammyMN and Lynnsherbs stopped by to help last weekend- (A BIG THANK YOU to you'se guys!) and I still have a ways to go! I do hope to wrap this up by this weekend and start mailing next week- I will let you know if I run into any delays- On that note- I am sorry to report that I still have not received AntiqueGardenFairy's seeds- nor BethBKodiak's. BethBKodiak and I have been chatting and I am hoping to receive her seeds eventually- they have been sent- and are somehow delayed- and with that in mind- I really want to send her seeds on to her- but I have not gotten her snail mail address just yet..... I have not heard from AntiqueGardenFairy since Nov 6th- with a mention of seeds being sent soon- there were computer problems mentioned then as well. I hope all is well. I do hope to hear from AntiqueGardenFairy and BethBKodiak soon- as I would like to send, at least, the seeds you all especially picked out for them- to them both! Thanks Kristen for your warm wishes! I would like to extend my hopes and well wishes to you all for a comfortably overstuffed day of family, food and fellowship this Thanksgiving Day. Julie |
Huzzah! and Hooray! BethBKodiak's seeds have arrived! And just in time! I am still planning to send out early next week! Julie |
Yea! I'm getting excited to see what cool seeds everyone sent. Remy |
- Posted by limequilla 5 IN (My Page) on Fri, Nov 24, 06 at 21:06
Yay! That is such great news on Beth's seeds...I would love to know where in the heck they've been all this time! I am getting excited, too! Lime |
Yeah- I bet the envie would tell a story if it could talk.... Beth's envie was quite black in some areas on both sides- with a little tear as well- my guess is it fell behind something for a while. All the seeds enclosed with-in were in great condition!! It is a high testiment to Bubble Envelopes!! Speaking of envelopes.... I am stuffing some envelopes tonight..... :-) !!! I am excited to get them on their way home as well!! Julie |
Hi all- I have good news! All of the envelopes are filled- And your seeds will be finding their way home to you soon! I wanted to thank you all for sending in your seeds to share with each other for this exchange. There were many gardeners sending in their many varied seeds to share. Some newer gardeners just starting out on their gardening journey, and some well established on their garden path. To honor all of the gardeners signed up, your return packages will show the full range of what was sent to share in this exchange by all who entered and sent in their seeds. I also want to extend a special thank you to those of you who took the time to search out the wants of others and clearly made those fullfilled wishes known in your packets sent. And to those of you who gave more than you wanted back- or gave extra postage to send the larger, fuller envelopes back home. And to the MN helpers who came to help sort this amazingly huge pile of seeds!! Your help and thoughtfullness is deeply appreciated! This being the holiday season- I thought it prudent to get a conformation on each envelope sent out. I will keep the receipts till all the envelopes have returned home. Please feel free to contact me for the # if you feel there may be a problem with your envelope. I will post when all of the envelopes have been mailed. It may take a few days (Tuesday at the latest)- as I intend to take them in shifts to a couple of offices- as I have 4 plastic grocerie bags full of envelopes- a ton of different stamps to pay with- and no delivery conformations filled out. On Saturday, a postal worker saw me in line and put up his "Next Window Please" sign when it was my turn..... I want to keep them as happy as I can while they process your seeds!! I do hope you all find a few treasures in your packages- and that you do not find any/many of your own seeds back- This being my first time to host an exchange- I forgot to place an identifier on the some of the seeds that came in without the senders names on them. My appologies to you if you find any of your own returned! Keep your eyes peeled for an over stuffed envelope as they are on their way home! Julie |
Yay! Thanks so much Julie! What a wonderful hostess you've been and i'm sure we are all anxious to see what we'll soon be growing come Spring time. *A round of applause for Julie* ~Dawn (mamabirrd) |
Thank you for being so kind Julie. All of your hard work is greatly appreciated. Thank you too, to those that helped her sort the seeds, what a task that must have been. I can't wait to see what comes back, it will be like an early Christmas present =) Happy Holidays! |
Say, Julie, now it's your time - bubble bath, champagne, a good book, and a pat on the back for a job well done. This is such a busy time of year, and for you to be doing this - well, it's just super. You know how it feels when you get those seed packs in the mail - like Christmas - just imagine how happy you're making a whole lot of folks this holiday season! I second Dawn's round of applause. |
- Posted by limequilla 5 IN (My Page) on Mon, Nov 27, 06 at 11:14
Thank you Julie!!! I hope it was also fun for you! Have a great holiday -- did you have enough postage money? Especially with the confirmations!? (I must add that whatever they cost, it was well worth it for the piece of mind. I was in a round robin and the person after me went AWOL. Luckily I had the delivery conf number to prove I had actually sent it on. I plan to use them from now on -- not on little personal trades, but on things that are basically irreplaceable.) Thanks again for all your hard work, and those of your elves, and your family! I can't wait to see what's in mine and I hope the Postal workers don't ALL close their windows on you, LOL! Lime |
- Posted by barbamaman z5/6 OH (My Page) on Mon, Nov 27, 06 at 16:56
I want to send you, Julie, also, a resounding HUZZAH!!!and THANKS!!! and now RELAX...you did such a good job! What a lot of seeds! I hope you snagged a few seeds you've been wanting, too. I'm so excited waiting for my fat packet to come! Barb |
- Posted by limequilla 5 IN (My Page) on Mon, Nov 27, 06 at 17:16
Julie! My bulging packet came today!!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Everything looks wonderful and is exactly what I wanted, you must have worked so hard putting them all together -- I can't imagine -- but know that your efforts are VERY appreciated! I have to spend some time looking up a number of things; I've never heard of the Latin names, naturally, but to never have heard of the common names, either, makes me realize how very little I know! Thanks to all the participants, toom especially all the folks who earmarked seeds for me, Natch! Now I want spring to be here! Lime. |
- Posted by nettasaura Z8 WA (My Page) on Mon, Nov 27, 06 at 19:03
My big fat pack came today also! THANX!!!!!!! SO many seeds, it's gonna take a whole month to go through all of them. Thanks to everybody who picked out seeds just for me. This has been fabulous. Julie, you poor thing...you must have been doing double time for a whole week straight! Take a break, relax, eat some chocolate...and congrats on being a fab hostess! Thanks Lots, |
HOO RAH! They are all on their way home!! Exhale.............. WOW - Lime! That was FAST! I went to the PO with a few on Saturday afternoon just before closing time!! I do hope all of the seeds fly home that fast!! Today at the PO- the first time- the fellow saw me put the bag of envelopes on the counter and said- "Well, did you know it is almost my lunch time?" I told him it was my lunch time too- and then he asked if I had eaten yet!!! - Um- No- I do not think he was askin' me out- Funny business there at the PO. One would think they would be used to being hit multiple times by each customer at this time of the year. We parted all smiles and with a feeling of accomplishment! Postage was covered between what you all sent in (thank-you very much!) and from another swap I paticipated in- the hostess sent along her extra stamps to me- How did she know..... I will be sending the extra postage (and then some) to Drippy who is hosting another (WAY TOO COOL) RR - Garden Themes - that I have signed up for. Sharing the wealth- paying it forward- It's what helps the world go round!! I wanted to share with you all a few tips I learned while searching out my new to me seeds for the past few years here on GW. Google is great- but not the only search engine to use. If you cant find it there, try another engine- it IS posted somewhere on the web. After I see the pic- I look for Zone requirements. I use the name already typed in and add zone behind it. A quick glance at what come up then, usually tells me what I need to know. Those perennials that won't cut the MN mustard, or act as an annual with first year blooms go back into my swap seeds. Then I switch the word Zone for Germination or 'days to germination'. I look for sites that give me info on how to germinate them- what requirements they need- and how many days I should expect it to take- You will find a few new sites each year but Tom Clothiers come up an awful lot! Then I switch Germinate to 'days to plant' or 'plant out'- and work my time tables backwards from my last frost date. I learned the hard way that that was VERY important! You end up running out of room if you start stuff too soon and have full size plants indoors for a month or more!! There are many tricks to be learned at our GW sites as well. WinterSowing(*!!!*)- Seed starting- Growing under lights- and of course the specific sites like Brugs and Dahlias and Lilies and such. I keep track of all that info (!) on a program called "Notebook" by Circus Ponies. That is a GREAT tool! Now- I think I will take Drippy's suggestion- crack open a bottle, sit back, watch the fire, and wish that dinner would cook itself... Many good times and memories will remain with me for hosting this swap- GW folks are the best!! And their seeds ain't too bad either!! I loved learning about many of the wonderfull seeds that passed through my fingers- and look forward to the enjoyment I will have making more seeds to share out of the seeds that remained. Thank you all again- Julie |
Yea Julie! You did it! : ) That is cool about the extra stamps too. I can't wait for my pkg. I feel like a kid at Christmas! And I'm like a kid jealous of Lime and Netta! No Fair, you got your seeds! lol. Remy |
- Posted by mallowmallow z8 OR (My Page) on Tue, Nov 28, 06 at 10:35
hi i got mine yesterday and thank you all for filling my wants as my list is getting smaller LOL and thank you to julie for hosting this swap it was great pam |
- Posted by limequilla 5 IN (My Page) on Tue, Nov 28, 06 at 18:21
Yes, that zip+4 gets your package to you really fast! I always use it on my return address and try to use it when I mail out, but sometimes it's not worth asking the person what their's is. Netta? Do you use zip+4? Lime |
- Posted by fairydancer z5 NY (My Page) on Tue, Nov 28, 06 at 21:18
Got my package Julie!!!! Thanks so much for all your hard work. Deb |
- Posted by nettasaura Z8 WA (My Page) on Tue, Nov 28, 06 at 21:19
Yes....and here's a tip....if someone gives you their addy with a regular five digit zip...go to usps.com and click on the find a zipcode link....enter the addy information as you have it...and Viola! it'll give you the four digit extension to the address....why do you think my Robin is only taking 2 days between houses (wink, wink, smile)? The +four zip is just about as good as giving the actual street address itself. I get all my four digit additions through USPS.com and here are some other tips I learned from PO workers....use the +4 zip code extension, print in captials, use as little punctuation as possible (which means you don't need a period at the end of the abbreviation for Ave or inbetween the PO for PO Box), and place the entire 9 digit zip on a separate line...all these things will speed up your shipping time...and trust me from experience it really does work! Netta So yeah...the return addy label that i sent to Julie was a 2x4 with size 24 Arial Narrow font, all caps, and only a comma after my city and a hyphen in the zip +4, with the zip +4 on a separate line at the bottom...and it got here lickety split! |
I received my seeds today. Thank you so much to Julie for all of your hardwork, seeds, and thoughtfulness. Also thank you to all of the participants. God bless, |
Thanks to Julie for my most wonderful envelope received yesterday. I was so impressed with the variety of seeds and thanks so much for the extras too, much appreciated. You did such an excellent job. |

I received mine too - so many things I wanted! I really appreciate all the great seeds sent and all the work you did Julie. It's so fun seeing that envelope in the mailbox!!! Jen |

hi, i'm posting this for dawn, she's having some problems with her computer. ========================================================= My seeds arrived yesterday. Wow! What a cool assortment. Who can I thank for the var. Hops vine??? Wow!! I'm so excited about that one. As soon as I get some free time i'm going to look up the ones i'm not familiar with. I can't wait. Thanks, ~Dawn (mamabirrd) |
My package just arrived - Julie, you really outdid yourself! And all of the participants, too - I got so many things I really wanted - all I can say is THANK YOU!!! :D |
My pkg. came today!!!! Thank you everybody. I definitely have more than I need for next year now: ) Thanks again, Remy |

Would love to sign up for the next one or for this one if it's not too late. Thanks, Stacy |
Hi there- I am so glad so many of the envelopes have found their way home already! Stacy- this exchange comes but once a year (well- so far)- You should look to the RR and exchanges that have NEW infront of them like the "Theme" or "Vine" exchange- There are many great RRs and exchanges starting all of the time! Dawn- the Hops vine came from Leftwood- that is a very pretty plant in his garden- I am so glad you will have some of it in your garden! Netta- GREAT TIP! I will be sure to keep that handy- and use it often! You all did a great job at making this a fine exchange! Julie |
- Posted by limequilla 5 IN (My Page) on Fri, Dec 1, 06 at 1:58
If anybody got lily bulblets, it's because you asked for "anything fragrant". It was the closest I could come. If you are afraid to plant them outside this late, just slip them into the refrigerator until Spring. (They can also take a lot of cold, so next thaw, you could plant them into a nursery bed outside.) Most of them are really nice Orienpets. Lime |
- Posted by scouttiegirl z5 -ny (My Page) on Fri, Dec 1, 06 at 7:03
My goodies arrived yesterday. Love the selection. I too will have to look a few things up as some are new to me as well. I will have a great time doing that today as it is rainy and soon turning to snow...yuck. Julie-you sent my stamps back to me instead of using them. I'm not sure if you saw them in my envie. Didn't want you to think I didn't send postage. Hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday Season. Looking forward to next years swap.~Heather |
Hey there Heather- I just missed them- No worries! I ended up with extra which will be sent on to the next exchange I am involved in- Julie |
I received my seeds today! i'm overwhelmed with the wide variety of named seeds! I'm especially excited about the different clematis varieties I got! I just hope I can get them to grow :D Thanks for all your hard work Julie! -Elizabeth |
- Posted by barbamaman z5/6 OH (My Page) on Fri, Dec 1, 06 at 21:25
Tonight I finished going though all the terrific seeds you sent, Julie, and you did such an outstanding job with this! Thank you especially for the wonderful assortment you sent me from your MN garden! My daughter in Minneapolis will get some of these seedlings next spring. Limequilla - wonderful things from your garden, too, thanks! Drippy, some pretty cool seeds from you, too. So many from my wish list means you all took the time to go over others' lists, and that attention makes this swap that much more successful. Thanks too to Beth_b_Kodiak, scouttiegirl, atravers and all those who didn't put their name on, you'll all be in my smile every time a new plant blooms! (Lilies! I got wonderful lilies, too!) SUCH a good RR!!! Barb |

Hi Julie, just wanted to let you know that I received the seed package. WOW,WOW and WOW I could not believe my eyes as I was looking at all the seeds, I had visions of all the beautiful flowers growing in my gardens. A big thank you to everyone that participated! Julie, you have outdone yourself as a hostes, thank you for your time and the fantastic selection of seeds! Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and stress free Holiday Season!!! Deanie |
- Posted by atravers zone 5 (email@example.com) on Sat, Dec 2, 06 at 16:36
And I'm adding my many, many thanks to the long list here. Julie you did a fabulous job with this. Bravo! Thank you for including so many special ones from my wish list. And so many thanks to everyone who sent things in specifically for me. This certainly does make the swap extra special. Julie I hope you do this again next year. You're an excellent host. Ann |

Wow, wow, wow, and more wow! Julie, you are the best! I can't even imagine the amount of time you spent matching everyone's wants. I am so pleased and grateful! You are truly a "Gardening Angel" and I wish you acres of gorgeous flowers. Blessings and hugs, |
Gardening Angel! I love (sort of) puns. When it fits, it sticks. Thanks so much Julie! |

Hi Julie...I received my package and thanks so much!!! It was funny...my husband just shook his head over my exclamations...he just doesn't understand how happy a person can get over receiving a special seed! I received some seeds I've really wanted for a long time. Thanks also to the people who shared with me! Julie, I really appreciate all your hard work on this and you can count me in next year if you hopefully coordinate this swap again. Great job!! - Lisa |
Hi there- I am happy that those of you who have received your return envelopes have found some treasures enclosed! We who selected seeds for the traders in this swap- either before the envelopes were mailed in- or here in MN, did our best to ensure that! This swap was a group effort! Every one of us did a great job! We still have 11 participants who have not reported receiving their packages- remember- I do have confirmation slips if we run into trouble- you know how to contact me for that information if needed. 2 of those 11 (Tammy MN and Sandys Garden) are MN folks who I will be getting together with to go though my seeds boxes to fill up their seed packets sent in and then some! That is a great way for us to "garden" in MN this time of year! Not to mention- looking through and sharing each others seed boxes is just plain fun and highly recommended! Barb- tell you daughter to visit the MN Gardening Forum!!! There are so many great folks (and gardens) in MPLS and the surrounding areas. I think we have a great garden community there. Oh Lisa- I hear you loud and clear about the hubby factor! Mine is constantly exasporated- and yet, still continuously supportive- and extremly handy with building cold frames from recycled building supplies- lighted shelves in the basment- and a great addition of 2 plastic coated steel wire shelves the length of the garage, which a clear plastic "curtain" can be rolled down to protect seedlings from the elements! I secretly think he is pleased that it costs so little to keep me so fully entertained! Till later then- Holiday activities beckon...... Julie |
Julie, I did receive mine earlier this week - haven't had a chance to get online. Thanks SO MUCH all of your hard work and for the variety you sent - I'm set for life on hot peppers, LOL! The extra special bulbs and lilies are already in the ground - just in time as we got six inches of snow last Friday and more coming down...this was an awesome exchange and I look forward to being able to contribute lots of bonuses next year! Happy Hoidays!! |

Julie, just a quick post to say the seeds are here and what nice seeds they are. My home computer is unavailable now so I don't have the seeds here as I write. A big thanks to Julie for doing such a nice job. Beth B |
- Posted by lynnsherbs 4 Minnesota (My Page) on Sun, Dec 3, 06 at 17:07
Julie - you know I got mine! Thanks so much for letting me "help" (hope you're feeling better). And, special thanks to everyone that sent seed. What a great selection it was! So much fun poking through to see who all got what! And, to drippy and askew gardens - thank you for the special ones that you sent just for me! If I missed anyone, I'm sorry - you are all the greatest! Lynn |
Julie - my seeds arrived Saturday, and I echo all the nice things everyone else has said about the selection. I did not have a lot of rare or named seeds to send in, and I was blown away by how much I received back! Thank you so much, and like so many others, I'll be researching some of these seeds to see what they are. Limequilla, thank you for the info you provided above on the bulblets, since I received some of them and my garden beds are buried in snow! What a great swap, I hope I have lots more to share next year. Alicia |
- Posted by sandysgardens 4MN (My Page) on Sat, Dec 16, 06 at 8:39
I too would like to thank all that participated and to those that sent seeds specifically for me. I even received seeds for seeds I have wanted but aren't on my want list so this was really a great find in my bundle of seeds!! Who reads minds out there? Julie - as always you're a wonderful hostess! A BIG hug to you and will see you in January at our MN GW annual seed exchange/get together!! Who would have thought of all the fun seeds could give us! Thanks again everyone who shared their seeds. It's a great way to spread gardening around! Happy Holidays! |

Hi Julie, sorry for not letting you know I got my seeds I did they were great. I wasn't internet connected at the time thanks for all the great seeds. I know it is a lot of work sorry for not checking lists I usually mark them for specific people but couldn't check lists. Happy Holidays. Patty |
I got mine !!! Thank you so much, mkruby7 |
Hi there you all- I do hope your holidays were/are wonderful!! I am so glad to hear from you guys! Thanks for letting me know that you did receive your seeds (although the confirmation slips provided that info, or I really would have been a wreck!)- and that there were some treasures found in your return envelopes! I am relieved that all who participated found something that brought them joy! Thanks for the e-mails and notes here in the forum- it is a pleasure to hear from you- Thank you all again for making this exchange a pleasure for so many! Till next year then??? Julie |

The color black is a funny thing. It's one of the most comforting hues to don. We wear it in all capacities without thinking twice about it; it's a fallback, a go-to for most people. Even in design, some things are effortlessly black, like a couch, a rug, or picture frames. However, uttering the word "wall" after "black" is somehow downright scary to most. The mention of a black kitchen, for that matter, might conjure up cold sweats or an elevated heart rate. Why? Black, particularly when balanced with crisp white, is a classic color combination and incredibly posh and chic when executed properly, especially in a space like your kitchen.
When we saw this enviable room on House Beautiful's website recently while surfing for some design inspiration, our love affair with black cabinetry was heightened. Somehow, the kitchen is light and airy, even though it's void of color. There are a few keys employed throughout that you can use in your own home to get a similar look.
Try this in your own space:
Back it up. When you opt for ebony cabinetry, a simple white backsplash is the perfect complement to keep things cool and open. A glass tile backsplash with hints of grey or silvery could also work nicely, for less is always going to be more in this scenario.
Play with pattern. When your kitchen is as straightforward as the one pictured, there's room to play with patterns in places such as your floors. A budget-friendly option is floor rugs (in the same two-tone palette as the rest of the room), or if there is more money to work with, go bold with a checkered tile or chevron-painted wood. It'll make a huge statement and look very high-end.
Glass appeal. To keep the space open and let it breathe, glass fronts on your top cabinets are a must. You'll have to keep your shelving pretty organized and streamlined, but it'll take the design to the next level.
White out. Make sure to properly balance a black room with tons of white and silver to lighten the space. Pick white shades for any windows, display a collection of all-white ceramics, use aluminum and stainless-steel furnishings an fixtures, and paint an adjoining wall a bright white.
Finishing touch. We think a satin or eggshell finish to the black paint used on any cabinetry and/or molding would be the best option. A little sheen will subtly reflect the white accents used throughout, giving the kitchen an allusion of more light.
Get inspired by adding a little black to your kitchen then take a picture and share it with us on our Facebook page.

We purchased this kit when we began cloth diapering for our older baby/toddler. The cotton prefolds are my favorite prefolds we purchased. They are absorbent for day and night. At night we would add in 1-2 cotton/hemp inserts, and that worked best for our toddler heavy wetter. These wash well, fold well, and are soft. They seemed to have the best fold/fit inside not only our econobum covers, but also in our FLIP covers. They were easy to rinse clean of BM before putting in the wash. As for the covers, they are simple and also have worked just fine for us. The BM stains have always come out for us after putting in the sun for a little bit. We never had leak issues unless we did not put on correctly. We used these diapers exclusively for a walker/toddler, but soon will be transitioning our 5 month old infant, nursing baby into them. I'm unsure if they will work well with nursing BMs as they do not have the double leg gussets, but I am going to see how it works!

The prefolds cannot be used with the covers provided in the way they are designed to be used. When you trifold them in the econobum covers, they slide around a lot. There are no flaps to contain the prefold, therefore they often stick out of the cover and get baby's clothes wet. Since they don't trifold well, I tried to use them as a normal prefold with pins or snappis, but they really weren't wide enough for my older son. They are about the width of an infant prefold, but are considerably longer. I eventually had to sew my own pockets out of old flannel sheets to put the trifolded diaper in and then used the econobum cover. This worked ok. I recently got them back out to try on my 7-week son (who is large for his age). I trifolded shortways and put them in a flip cover (which I love!!) but they are too bulky for a small baby. It was way too wide between his legs. Overall, I think the Econobum package was a good idea, but it really does not work from birth to potty learning as advertised. In my opinion, one would be better off investing in Flip covers and Chinese prefolds of various sizes. It really would not cost much more.

We have been using BumGenius 4.0's and Freetimes for 2.5 years now. We needed more diapers to help with having 2 in diapers. I cannot believe I didn't buy these sooner! I actually think I like them better than our other more expensive diapers and I definitely LOVE them more than Flips (which we sold). These are so simple and I love the cotton inserts. They are a little more bulky on our little girl (13ish lbs) than our other diapers but they are much more absorbent than the 4.0's and are our go-to diaper now. You don't need a snappi or anything for the prefold. Just fold it in thirds and lay it in the cover! I feel like the cover is less likely to get poop on it than the Flip cover. If you are hesitant to try them because they are cheap so they probably are not good you are in good company. It took me over two years to get over that fear! Best diapers we own. Thanks cotton babies for a great product!

I received this as a present to try on my daughter who is 19 months now. The cover is very thin, but durable. It has an easy to wash inside and it is very stretchy. I wish it came in Aplix, but only the newborn size does. The prefolds are easy to prep. My daughter sleeps for 12+ hrs a night, so i use a prefold plus an insert like a babykick brand. That gets her through the night with no leaks. I pad fold the prefold and it works great.

I have been using the econobum prefolds with the econobum and flip covers for the last nine months. They have held up perfectly. No leaks, ever! At night I couple a new born flip with the econobum prefold and no leaks. I love these diapers and you can not beat the price.

Hi Chipdale 7, I just took a look at your projects, WOW, 105!!! That's amazing, and they all look so sweet, you use such pretty colours. Do you prefer to work with stretch fabrics? Have you signed up for the Wardrobe Refashion pledge? Because there is no way you need to buy clothes surely?! Happy creating. x

hi! i do like using stretch fabric because i like wearing them! what is wardrobe refashion pledge??
Dec 4, 2009, 09.13 AMby zozowahine
Hi! The Wardrobe Refashion pledge is this:
Basically it's abstaining from buying new clothes for 2 or 4 or 6 months or for life, and making your own clothes and refashioning existing ones instead. It's really interesting and a great challenge. I've been doing it for nearly three years now and I don't think I could go back to buying mass produced clothes any more!
Happy sewing x

Should I tell relatives we didn't get what we need at our shower?
Recently my mother-in-law and sister-in-law threw a baby shower for me. My husband and I created a baby registry, but not one person used it. Instead of getting baby gear, we got a lot of clothes that we didn't need. Since then several family members have asked if we got everything we needed at the shower. Should I tell them the truth?

I had the same problem. clothes, clothes and more clothes...all pink in size 0 to 3 months! I returned as much as I could for credit at the stores and used that credit to buy the necessities that we needed. No one ever noticed or commented. good luck!posted 12/04/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
yes, if someone askes if you got everything you need you should be honest and say, No we still have somethings we need. That way if they want to pursue this they can. But I would NEVER say that we got things we don't need or want. How rude! I always include the gift receipt for showers, but if someone asked me for the receipt so that they could return my gift I would be offended.posted 12/04/2006 by juliwright
Question: did the people who were invited know what gender you are having? It seems to be the trend that if people know the sex of the child, they head right for the pink or blue clothes, rather than what is on the registry. I would definitely tell your relatives that you didnt' get what you needed (after all, that is what a shower is for, to shower the mother with the necessities for baby). My husband and I are at this dilemma right now. We can find out the sex next week, but are afraid everyone will just buy clothes. My friend had her shower a few months ago and got 89 (girl) outfits sizes 0-3 mons! NEedless to say, she took over half back, and then got what they needed (a crib mattress), but what a pain for the expectant parents to have to run all over creation making exchanges... Hope this helps.posted 12/04/2006 by BabyTLo
Not telling them the truth is a little bit like lying...just be polite, and let them know that you have plenty of beautiful clothes, but are still in need of several items. It's not rude and if a person attends a shower they expect to purchace a gift for you...the word shower comes from the phrase "showering the (mother, baby, couple) with gifts". Everyone deserves a shower, no matter how many children (or weddings :) ) you've had. We decided since not many people who attended our wedding used our registry, we couldn't count on them to use the baby registry either. Still, we created one, and plan on sending the info in the shower invite. However, we have purchaced most of the essentials on our own, and are using the registry for "extras" such as learning toys, ect...posted 12/04/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
My husband,and i also registered,but only one person got me something from the registry,what we got at the baby shower was mostly clothes.I dont think you should tell them a gift is a gift,and just be thankfull you got what you got.posted 12/04/2006 by ItsaBlessing
That stinks! I never understand why people buy off a registry. But pregnancy is the one time you can say what you want and pretty much get away with it. I would tell them you got a lot of nice things but since no one used your registry you are still in need of a lot of useful items for the baby. Whether they want to help or not isnt the issue. They need to know that shopping off a registry is rude!! If you know where the clothes were bought, I would go and return them. Most places dont need a receipt. I returned a lot of things after my baby shower. I just didnt need all the clothes.posted 12/04/2006 by Mandy812
We also just had a shower where we received too many clothes and hardly any necessary items we had registered for. Hoping the second shower would be different since I had told everyone about the first, once again, too many clothes. I simply tried to exchange items for practical things that were needed or for larger sized clothing. However, when people ask if I need anything I didn't already get at my showers, you bet I tell them!! If they are asking so they can get something for the baby, I think it's great to tell them so that they're gift is useful.posted 12/04/2006 by MardiMess
If they ask they do want to know so be honest. In the first few weeks you'll only need diapers, wipes, the nose sucker they give in the hospital, sleepers, onesies & bottles & formula (if not breastfeeding) & lots of patience! Also make sure people know you have a registry if it wasn't on the shower invitation they may not have known & most people like to get things you'll use instead of clothes that may or may not be worn. GOOD LUCK!!posted 12/04/2006 by ajscrazymom
"Honest is the best way to go".posted 12/04/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
We just had 2 baby showers and I was really surprised at how many people just bought random things. My thought is, that if they are going to spend as little as $10 on a gift that is wonderful, but at least get something off the registry. We spent so much time and effort and research on what we would want and need. It's an easy way to let people know what to get for you that will help you with your future baby. A baby shower is thrown so the new parents can get the supplies and things they need from friends and family. It gives everyone that loves you a small part in the babies life before he/she is here. People have asked me, so did you get a lot of stuff. I say "Yes, we did get a lot of great things but somethings will have to go back so we can buy some of the other items that are more needed. Or, Yes we got so many things but still have to buy more. I am very thankful for everything that everyone has done for us. I just don't get them sometimes. I'm not snotty just anal. Hey, I'm pregnant, what do yo expect.posted 12/04/2006 by a BabyCenter Member

Garden in a Bag
You can feel good that you grew it yourself. Dave the Garden Guy shared how to make this organic, intensive, raised vegetable bed.
Garden Tools:
- Gloves
- Exacto knife or gardening scissors
- A piece of rebar or a sturdy dowel
- 1 or 2 bags of organic compost -- we used two.
- Extreme juice or other organic fertilizer -- stimulates microbiotic activity.
- Plants -- we used zucchini, crook neck squash and bell pepper plants
Someplace that will allow for drainage
Project Instructions:
- Take first bag of compost, place it on the ground where you want it and cut out bag leaving 3 inches around the edge to contain the soil.
- Place second bag on top and repeat cut.
- Use your rebar to poke drainage holes in your new raised garden bed.
- Add fertilizer per instructions on can.
- Plant your vegetables. Eventually the plants will spill over and the bags will no longer show.
Keep sustainable levels of moisture. In the Southwest this probably means watering once a day; in the Mid or Northwest it will mean watering every two to three days.

Firefighters responded to a high-rise fire in Hinsdale. (Hinsdale Fire Department / May 8, 2014) |
Hinsdale firefighters responded Tuesday to a kitchen fire in a high-rise building on the north side of the village.
The fire occurred about 9 p.m. at 21 Spinning Wheel, a 17-story multi-family high rise building located near Ogden Avenue and the TriState Tollway in Hinsdale.
A woman, who lives on the sixth floor where the fire occurred, called 911 because her kitchen was on fire, said Steve Tullis, public information officer for the Hinsdale Fire Department.
She was not in the apartment when the fire started.
"She was cooking on a frying pan on an electric stove and then she went across the hall to visit a neighbor and forgot it was on," Tullis said.
By the time firefighters responded Tuesday, the fire had been extinguished by an sprinkler head located in the kitchen. Smoke had filtered into the hallway, but no one was injured, he said.
The flames of the fire went up a kitchen wall and damaged a microwave oven, he said.
The apartment was occupied by a woman and her young child. Once they heard the fire alarm and saw the sprinkler system activate, they were able to safely leave the apartment, Tullis said.
When Hinsdale firefighters arrived an evacuation of the building was already in progress. About 20 to 25 people had left the building that has eight units per floor.
In high rise fires, Tullis said the department usually tells residents to stay inside their units unless the fire is in their apartment. If a lot of people leave the building at once Tullis said it impedes the department's ability to get up the staircase to respond to the fire.
Assistant Fire Chief Tim McElroy said it is a good thing the apartment was equipped with a sprinkler.
"Sprinkler systems save lives and protect property," he said. "In this case it saved many lives and helped protect a building from what could have been a major catastrophe," McElroy said.
Fire units from neighboring towns, including Oak Brook, Clarendon Hills, Western Springs, LaGrange and Downers Grove Fire Departments, also responded to this call, he said.

Reviewed Tarragon-Cream Chicken and Polenta Pot Pies
Sep 13, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"Super delish! Served this for the first time to company last evening and received rave reviews. :) It was creamy but not too heavy...I doubled the polenta for a thicker "crust".
The best part is that it could be whipped up ahead of time, and with minimal cook time when we were ready to eat. I served it with some artisan bread and a a greens..."

you know what? this city is only going to get worse. I think the police here should stop putting the B.S. story's online and should only be dealing with the more serious ones here.....

137 calls . How many in total were responded to.? Always look at the great # and then read how many arrest etc. Kind of puts it in true perspective.. Not saying they do not do their job. But tell it as it is. Alot of calls are handled by the people hired to answer the calls.,
- March 14, 2013 - 12:16
I love reading comments like your's...never ceases to amaze me how some people can always find something negative to say. So what if only 70 calls for example were attended. It's not as if every complaint takes 10 to 15 minutes and that's it. The police can be tied up for a whole shift on one complaint. Why not do something to help, such as do the training and wear the uniform for a few years. Then perhaps you can be responsible for the media reporting as part of your job description! You'll soon learn you can never please everyone...you're just one example of that!

I recently gave my old Garmin to my son and replaced it with a Garmin 2555LM. It is quite similar to the old one, only with some nice new options. However, I miss "Hal" terribly. I was able to choose a male voice on the old model and I prefer a male because my high frequency hearing is diminished. I tried both female voice choices on my new Garmin but I really understand a male voice more easily. Also, the women say "Slay-in Road" instead of "Slay-Ton Road" and this absolutely drives me nuts. I can't believe the speakers used aren't more carefully screened for proper pronunciation. Anyway, the voice I call Hal was much clearer and less annoying so I would like to find a decent male voice for the new Garmin. Before anyone chides me for being too picky, I have Asperger Syndrome and those of us on the Autism spectrum are perceived as very sensitive and quirky. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Swap with your son so you have your old beloved Hal back, sounds like the simple solution, |
The reason that all place names aren't pronounced correctly is because "people" aren't reviewing and speaking all the names. It's computers that are "reading" and voice synthesizers that are "speaking." |
No speakers, just computer voices. Take your old machine back. Jane |
Someon had to program the computer to interpret a glotal stop rather then a true "T" sound! Why wouldn't the designers of the Nuvi give users a choice of both male and female voices? The first thing my 40 year old son did to my old Nuvi was switch from the male to a female voice. I really did enjoy listening to Hal--he always sounded sarcastic as he announced, "Recalculating" after I chose to ignore him. I do have a valid reason for preferring the lower voice because of my high frequency hearing loss. |
Mudlady- The problem is that the computer can't -- at least yet -- correctly figure out all the phonetic variations in place names. Many place names are difficult for humans to pronounce correctly unless they know what the local usage is. Where I live, many of the place names derive from Native American names, and we don't even always agree with one another on how they should be said. No amount of programming can produce 100% correct pronunciation at this point...but it will get better. |
Where I live there is a big street called Manchaca. It is pronounced Man-Shack. My GPS lady in my phone pronounced it Mine-Ca-Ca. I liked to go that way just to hear her. I speak of her in the past tense because, alas, she died. Now I have to use the way of the Ancients - maps. :) On my older phone I could hear a sigh and eye-rolling in that "Recalculating". So maybe I'll get a Garmin. Or a new phone. |
I agree with kudzu's comment. In Susan's example, that's a widely practiced mispronunciation and not a phonetic variation, There are scores of Spanish-source place names in the Southwest. There's no uncertainty or disagreement about what the correct pronunciation should be, it's just that anglicized versions took hold in many cases and the "correct" pronounciations were thrown out the window. There are zillions of examples of anglicized mispronunciations all over the US. Place names of Spanish origin are easily misprounouced, as is true with so many others that come from French (Boise, Detroit, Des Moines, Pierre). GPS device audio just approximates using simplified phonetics. Agreed upon localizations won't ever command a second of programming time. |
Gee, If I didn't know Tucson so well, I'd get a gps just to hear the mispronuncaitions it would come up with for our streets. I drove professionally here for 12 years, so it would just be for laughs. |

I have that exact model, mine says 2555 LMT but I think it's the same. I got it last summer to replace my basic one because I had to drive my son from NY to Maryland alone and needed something to find gas stations and restaurants and stuff plus it was going to cost more than the device was worth to pay for the map updates. My friend got the similar model that lets you talk to it but I don't like it as the screen is smaller and I had a small screen so felt the bigger screen was more important to me compared to being able to talk to it and tell it where to go. I love this model but quit using it 4 months ago only because hubby bought me a new car for our anniversary and it came with built in navigation and that has a wonderful female voice that is so realistic and I love it. I think you can still get hal from garmin online if I remember right. If you haven't done so register the new one at mygarmin.com and make sure your garmin express on the computer is update so you are good to go for your map updates. You get like 3 a year I think it is for lifetime. I am doing updates on mine now since we keep it in the van because that does not have built in navigation but when done I will play and see if you can get hal. I know I downloaded some different voices to mine and I have bert and ernie starring at me for road trips on mine. On my old garmin my husband could not stand recalculating when ever he made a wrong turn and this garmin doesn't say a word so he liked it better for that. You can also use this new one to play audio books if you didn't know that and sometimes I use it for photo slide shows. My only complaint is why can't they give you a standard mini USB plug like most electronics these days? I have to make sure I don't misplace it as I only have one but I have many of the standard mini usb plugs. Mary |

Ok my bad I guess and you cant get hal. You might like this voice and it's a free one, can play a sample. There are a host of other sites away from garmin to get voices too. You can also get some free dashboards on the garmin site, that is where I got bert and ernie. Mary |

hello! I love lurking and reading these posts..I have a question..I want to have 10-15 yards of a good topsoil delivered to raise my landscape beds in the front. My house is 14 years old and the beds seem low...I also love the look of full, hilly, beds. But..I have about 1 in. of mulch on them now from last year. Can I just add about 4-6 inches of soil on top and then remulch? I have lovely existing, well established plants and flowers and don't want to smother them. I'm not exactly a landscape expert...by any stretch, so I'll take any advice you have! I calculated I have approx. 950 sq. ft. of beds up front. I haven't subtracted out the space all the plants take up! thank you! thank you! thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Rake the old mulch off before top dressing -- you can reuse it along with some new mulch. I've top dressed perennial beds with 2-3" of compost without any problem, but adding 4-6" of topsoil without lifting and resetting the plants is, IMO, too much. Especially with your shrubs. You aren't supposed to bury the root flare on shrubs anymore than you are on trees. I suppose you could keep the new dirt pulled back from the root flare, but be sure to do that. This is also funny time of year for this project. Top dressings is typically done in the late winter/early spring when most plants are still dormant. And, again, top dressing usually involves purely organic matter, not topsoil. Cancel the order or put the pile out back and do the work in the early fall -- when it is also a better time of year to be lifting and moving perennials than right now when everything has already put on significant growth and we're moving into the hot and often dry summer. |
Well, sometimes you can only do the task at the wrong time; you just have to know what the risks are so you can mitigate them. If you decide to do it now, which I agree is less than ideal, and to lift the plants, which I agree would be ideal, then it is like planting a new bed, and the plants will not be established for summer so you will have to water a lot to get them through. If you don't lift the plants, you will lose some of them if not all; it depends on which ones they are. Some will not be bothered at all, but their growth may be altered. Let's take hydrangeas, which root quite well from the stem and so likely won't rot. So even if you kill off their original roots by piling on the soil, chances are at least some of the stems can form new roots and your bush, or what appears to be your bush but is really cuttings from it, will survive. But the story may be different for any grafted shrubs, say Japanese maples or a contorted filbert, and may be different still for shrubs prone to suckering. In perennials, some will succeed in growing through the additional soil, others not. Or peonies, for example, will grow but not flower if they are planted too deep. If you do keep the new dirt pulled back from the plants, you can make little rock wells around each plant you won't have the dirt rotting the stems, but it won't quite be the look of the full hilly beds you want. Life is a series of compromises! Question is which ones you want to make here. KarinL |

Thank you! I wasn't planning on disrupting the shrubs or plants at all..I have 14 yr. old viburnums, black eyed susans and some popular green little shrub that I cant think of running across the front! I just have lost soil over the years due to rain and such..just wanted to loosen up the soil, add a few inches and remulch. The bed I wanted hilly is a tree and all black eyed susans. I don't want to bury them..I will give up the hilly look as a compromise and just add soil. thanks! |
