My mail should be here soon....I hope I can post that I got a package!
Til then, I"ll just wait...
:bored:

[Kirby]

I'm hoping that this exchange will wrap up before I leave on the 13th. Roxy said she mailed their shirts towards the end of June. They should arrive any day now.

[Meriweather]

Any news today?

[pennst8r]

nope. Still waiting for this and the Xmas in July exchange! A little reluctant to try the next ones! :goodvibes

[Meriweather]

Sometimes those last ones just seem to crawl to their destinations.
don't be afraid....it can't happen to you too often :rotfl:

[Meriweather]

[Kirby]

Don't give up hope! They may arrive tomorrow.

[pennst8r]

I'm sure it will be here this week.
I'll just think of it as prolonging the fun! ;)

[Meriweather]

Good attitute ::yes::
Hopefully tomorrow is the day for those last ones to arrive!! Think positive postal thoughts :teeth:

Thanks for the update. They really don't have to--if there was a problem I understand.

I do appreciate it, tho! :)

Still waiting for Stacey's, I actually think Stacey forgot she is in this exchange :goodvibes

[PixieDust32]

Sorry guys for not being able to post here, but we had a really bad couple of weeks, we are just getting our things back on track.
And I wanted to apologize for our exchanges, I chated (sp?) with Susan and we are re sending them, we don't know what happened. My swaps (scrapbooking) were a mess too, I send them to my cross stich one, but we are getting things back to normal.
Thanks and please forgive me.

[Meriweather]

Hope things are improving, Roxy. Good to see you back ::yes::

Im sorry everybody didnt get their t-shirts yet. I know its no fun waiting. Ive been in exchanges where I have been the last one to recieve something. Im pretty confident that some will arrive by the end of the week.

[Meriweather]

I think the anticipation is part of the fun.....and everyone will eventually receive theirs, sometimes there is just a bit of a wait :ccat:

[Kirby]

Preparations for our trip are beginning to speed up so I may or may not be back on here today.

Here are who I have left to post receiving:

VanniGirl (an elf package sent)
PixieDust32 DH
pennSt8r
bapcap (2nd exchange)
Kaylajr DD Jessica
NiteOwl71 DD Stacey

Here's hoping that they've all been received when I return.

Yippee.. Im so glad you got your package from you elf ;)
There is so many nice Va Beach t-shirts around here, it was hard to choose. My kids helped picked those out...

[Meriweather]

:hmghost:

Any other news today?

[Nite0wl71]

Just got home and nothing for Stacey, maybe tomorrow :thumbsup2

[kaylajr]

:rolleyes1

[Meriweather]

Hmmm...the person sending is now MIA :confused3

So if nothing for you 4 in tomorrow's mail, I think elves are needed.
I have a couple already lined up (just in case ;) ), but if it comes to it, I need another one or 2.

[pennst8r]

Nothing here, either. :sad2:

[Meriweather]

Check in tomorrow after your mail arrival (hopefully I will hear from the sender tomorrow also....need to know what the heck is going on).

this has gone on too long, we will get it wrapped up ASAP ::yes::

[VanniGirl]

:cheer2:

[sunlver]

I just want to say I think its "terrible" when people sign up for exchanges and do not hold up their end of the bargain. I understand life gets in the way, kids get sick, things happen. I think we all can relate to that. I just find it unfair when so many people are slacking off.
Again I realize people go vacation, we get sick etc... but there is no excuse for being so irresponsible and not letting people know.
I do not care if Im hated for this post. I see this from time to time on these exchanged. It makes me the most mad when kids are involved. I have signed my kids up for exchanges, and they have waited weeks and weeks after the exchanges mailing date to go theirs. I was told I should teach my kids to be patient, yada yada yada.. Its not about patience.. its about following the rules. I feel if you cant follow the rules, send your package by the send off date, then dont sign up.
sorry...off my soap box now.

[pennst8r]

VanniGirl, I love your ticker! I have a good friend who has a daughter nicknamed "D" for the same reason!

[Meriweather]

:goofy:

Today is the day....they arrive or we resend. ::yes::

[Meriweather]

kimmykayb....I tried to answer your PM, but your box is full ;)

I will resend in a few....then I am out of here for the day and hope when I get back we hear of the arrival of those missing shirts ::yes::

[pennst8r]

Nothing today, either.

I feel bad that someone has to send twice, just because someone didn't do thier part for me. :sad2: Count me in as the elf next time!

[Meriweather]

You'd be surprised at how long our nonsender list is :mad: Some people just don't play fair.
But then we have all the wonderful ones ....and they far outnumber the others.

[Meriweather]

Dear Tamara, my DH did received the shirt from you, and sorry for the drama, but when it arrived our house was a war zone, and he showed to me and then he put it away. I found it in one of his drawers the other day, please forgive me, he loved the t-shirt and we appreciated it so much.

Tamara send my DH David a navy blue t-shirt from "RIVERSIDE University of California". Thank You so much.

He love anything from California, he was stationed there for a long time when he was in the NAVY.

[PixieDust32]

Elf or no elfs.The second packages I send will arrive ethier tomorrow or Wed I hope Jessica, Stacey, Kathy and Lyanne like their shirt and forgive me for the waiting and inconvinience! Thanks and have a great day.

[Tamarap]

I am so glad to hear that!!! Glad he liked the shirt as well. Sorry to hear about all of the trouble at your home. I figured it had been recieved and then misplaced in all the chaos it sounded like you were enduring. I just wanted to double check that he had indeed received the shirt!!!

My dad was in the NAVY. Where was your DH stationed in California?

[PixieDust32]

Thaks for understanding, hard thing to do sometimes! Anyway, he did put it in one of his drawers, no wonder I couldn't find it! LOL!

He was stationed in Long Beach for years then he was send to the Gulf War.
