If you need me to resend, just let me know and I'll see what I can come up with. Any time you want to do a private swap let me know!

I would give you a million hearts if I could... the seeds are just perfect as there are some we have never seen before and I would love to try them next spring... Hubby was so excited to see unique varieties... the tea is wonderful and so is the sugar... and strawberry shortcake... OMG and not just any kind but the vintage one!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! You don't know how much that meant to me and it came at the perfect time too... my Gma was rushed to the ER on the 1st and admitted to ICU and we were told she wasn't going to make it... the strawberry shortcake brought me back in time to when I was a little girl and me n grams would go shopping for strawberry stuff for my kitchen for when I grew up and had my own place... so thank you for sending something that took my mind off her possibly passing and the moment I seen that happy memories came flooding in my mind .... brought me peace and I knew she would be ok... and she pulled through even though the Dr's said she wouldn't... sorry this was so long but everything was fantastic!!!!
