If a person has loose seeds to trade how do they package them up? Does one use a bag with picture? Just curious :-D
I make my own too and write the names on the fronts of the packets. I wrap the seeds in pieces of kitchen towel to stop them from being crushed in the post before popping them into the envelopes.
Sometimes I use small plasic zip top baggies. You can get them at a craft store in the craft department at Wal-Mart. They in the Beads section. 100 bags for around a dollar. Lately, I have been making my own envelopes with "found" paper and scotch tape.
Kareen, take a regular small envelope, gently take it apart then use it as a template for making more. I used to do it for gift cards from construction paper, but haven't in years.
Oh ok thank you Toni. Question? How come Apil has yellow on hers and mine is still grey under our names on the left hand side?
Kareen, check out the Statistics page, the link is at the bottom of the page. In there you will find Rank that explains when the yellow line appears and moves. The yellow line begins at 50 posts-"On the way up" there is a new title for different levels.' When you have made 500 posts (which will happen quicker than you think :-D ) then you get to choose a special title for yourself. Check out the titles just under other members names on their posts and start thinking of what you would like to have as a special GardenStew title.
