[mommytotwo]

I had just ordered mines. :flower3:

[mommaU4]

Got my name and it's almost ready. I'm going to see if I can find one more thing and then send it out. I will post back when I do mail.

[snowwhitesmom]

Wow! You guys are really on top of things!;) Remember - next month is Dinosaurs!!!!!

[dolphinrescuegirl]

I couldn't wait. I picked up a few ocean themed things I saw while I was out and about this past week. :rolleyes1

But now that I have my person's fave animal, that's the "one other thing" that I posted about earlier that I need to go pick up. :thumbsup2


BTW, OT here, but I clicked on the link in your sig and read your thread. Made me sad at the end, but the pics were so special and wonderful to see. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for reading and letting me know. It was really hard at the end but I just have to remember all the dolphins that we have successfully rehabbed and are now living a happy life. Some went back into the wild while others had to find their permament homes. Plus, kogia whales never survive in captivity. The longest record was 15 months. They can't cope with the rehab process while dolphins are much hardier.I was just thinking about pulling the thread off my siggy since it was a while ago. This just helped me decide to leave it. Thanks and sorry for OT.:)

[snowwhitesmom]

I just mailed mine out!:cool1:

[Meriweather]

Mine is packed up and ready to go. It will be put out tomorrow :)

It is on its way. Priority with DC :)

[Diva of Dragons]

Hi there!

It's been a loooong time since I've participated in an exchange. I wish I hadn't missed this one!! I'll drop in more often and hopefully get back in the game soon!!! Happy exchanging!

[AlexWyattMommy]

Mine went postal this morning. :thumbsup2

[PrincessParty]

Our packages are in the mail. I had to make up a last name for one of the packages as the postmaster seemed adament that there be a last name. :confused3 So, for a little girl who doesn't recognize her "new" last name, the package really is for you. (I used the dis screen name minus the number as I am no good under pressure. :rotfl:) Hope they arrive soon. I think I had more fun shopping than the kids did. :rotfl2:

[snowwhitesmom]

Lisa, we would love to have you join us for an exchange!:goodvibes

[snowwhitesmom]

Anyone send or receive today?

:rotfl2: That had me cracking up.



Well, my package is ready. Actually it's been ready but I can't seem to get my behind to the PO! I'm going to try today, if not then for sure tomorrow. Either way, I will post back and let you know for sure.

[donald&daisy]

I ordered mine today and had it sent directly to my person...I'm trying to contact the seller so they don't include prices on the invoice, but I guess it isn't a big deal if they do. I ordered it off ebay so I hope all goes well.

[Meriweather]

[PrincessParty]

My DD Katey received her exchange yesterday from "North Ohio" and it is amazing! :goodvibes (We are in Southern Ohio.)

It included a light up urchin ball, Little Mermaid nightlight, Little Mermaid jumprope, Little Mermaid Body Stickers, Little Mermaid erasers, Disney Princess Hair accessory kit, grow your own Cecil the Circus Seal and a Little Mermaid Light up Yo-Yo. (The Yo-Yo is perfect as this is the child that hunted down and chased after the Yo-Yo man at the White House Easter Egg Roll.) Thank you.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'm glad she liked it. I wonder if it had to go to Cincy before going to you?

[JLitfin]

I'm finishing up my shopping this afternoon and hopefully will have my package in the mail by 5pm before the post office closes. If not than it will go in the mail on Monday.

You are welcome. I picked up the bubbles for the kids. My kids always loved bubbles when they were young, and than when I saw Nemo bubbles, I thought perfect. Hope they enjoy them.

You're welcome. I'm glad you liked them. When I saw that crab, I decided that was just the thing. I thought it was so cute.

Thank you for the compliment on the handwriting. :goodvibes

I just realized that you received the package yesterday (Monday) and I only mailed it on Saturday via regular first class mail. That has to be a record from my post office! Amazing!

Sounds like my DD needs to go back to 5th grade to learn the state abbreviations :rotfl: Thanks again!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I got my package from Buffy today. That poor, poor box. It was smashed and the side blown open. I'm not sure how much was lost. The PO office said it was because there was no packing material inside it. That a heavier box was probably placed on top and smoosh, broken box. The only thing I could have done is refused it and sent it back. That seemed silly as more things would have been lost going back to you.

Here is what did make it to me:

Crab themed ribbon
Beach print - going in my laundry room!
Lazer stickers in a beach theme
Tropical chap-ex
Tropical beach shirt dish
and (2) 2-pack fo designer soap in tropical/beach theme

Thank you very much for what did arrive to me.

[Passions71203]

Got my gift today ! :goodvibes
Here is what I got from Jenna's DD :goodvibes

Whale Bubble Bath thing. Which I will use on my birthday to relax :thumbsup2

and Puzzle Stickers

[snowwhitesmom]

I received a GORGEOUS set of Finding Nemo pins today...hmmmmmmmm.....wonder who they could be from? :rolleyes1

[snowwhitesmom]

AWM, what a bummer for both of you about the box! I am so sorry!

[JLitfin]

I'm in the middle of fixing dinner but just wanted to say that I received my package this afternoon. I'll report on the contents later this evening.

[Jenna45]

I went all over trying to find you clown fish, and I tell you I see people here , I went to Target, the Christmas Tree and even Amazon and could not find anything clown fish or even nemo, I don't know if he is not as popular or what, but I figured I could at least find some Nemo stickers at Target...
So sorry I could not provide you clown fish for your birthday, I really wanted to :goodvibes

:sad1: Me too.

The hardest part for me, because I'm worse than a cat, is wondering what the Post Office ended up with that should have been mine. :lmao:

[JLitfin]

I'm back to report what I received. My package came from Tyler (son of Jenna45).

Fish Towel
Whale Bubble Bath
Goldfish Pretzels
Puzzle Stickers

Thanks Tyler

[donald&daisy]

I received a GORGEOUS set of Finding Nemo pins today...hmmmmmmmm.....wonder who they could be from? :rolleyes1

Oh, pick me, pick me! I know nothing about pins, so I hope you like them!!! :goodvibes

[snowwhitesmom]

Oh, pick me, pick me! I know nothing about pins, so I hope you like them!!! :goodvibes

Ohmigosh - they are wonderful! And a very generous exchange - thanks again - being the pin lover that I am - it made my day!!!:hug:

[Meriweather]

Nothing today....I leave town tomorrow.
I won't get mail again until Friday, I will report back then ::yes::

[dolphinrescuegirl]

I am so sorry Meriweather! It was supposed to be delivered on Friday! I guess that is what happens when a package has to travel across the US. :sad2: Have a great trip!

[Meriweather]

Not a problem for me, Kim. Something to look forward to when I get back :)

[snowwhitesmom]

And when you get back and post, Nancy, we will wrap this up!!

[Meriweather]

sorry to hold things up, Michelle :(

[snowwhitesmom]

Oh, Fairy Godmother - no problem!!! I don't mind and I am sure no one else does either - it just makes the fun last a little longer!:hug: [And besides, we all know that I am the LEAST organized hostess, so a little extra time would do me some good!:lmao: ]

[Meriweather]

the pirates can keep you busy in the meantime pirate:

[snowwhitesmom]

oh, if only it were a REAL pirate!:love: One named Will, maybe?:rolleyes1

[Meriweather]

You can take will, I want Capt. Jack :faint:
See we get along just fine :rotfl:

[dolphinrescuegirl]

I just checked the progress of my package to Merriweather. I got delivery confirmation but made sure NOT to check the box that requires signature. IT looks like they left a notice on 4/21 and said it could be picked up or would be sent back to me. I know she is on vacation so it might be back on it's way to me.:headache: Merriweather, let me know when you get home from vaca and I will send it without delivery confirmation. This makes me really mad!:headache:

[snowwhitesmom]

Kim, I think Nancy is due home Friday, so it should all be good!

[Meriweather]

I have a hold on my mail, so they are keeping it for me. It won't be sent back ;)
I will be able to pick it up tomorrow. The PO will be closed by the time I get home today.

[Meriweather]

Got the mail :teeth: And the package was there ::yes:: :yay:

So to finish this up....I received a great package from dolphinrescuegirl, Kim.

Cute little wind up ray.....:yay: he will be swimming in the pool when we move

2 dolphin keyrings....great for hanging on bags
and 3 cute post cards (one "Just floating around in FL" with rays, one Seaworld with polar bears, wolves, penguins, and a walrus and one "FL at night" just a black card :rotfl: )
