[Meriweather]

Have fun, Robin.....maybe it will arrive by then.

[BELLEDOZER]

Hi Robin, you should be receiving your rather stuffed envelope by the end of the week as I sent it express post (they said it would be only 3 to 4 days for delivery). So there is a good chance that you will receive it before your trip. If not have a great trip, and will hear from you when you get back!!:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

Trish

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

POOP! How did I miss this one???????:headache:

[Meriweather]

Sorry, Maria.....probably do this one again in the new year...Jan, Feb or Mar.
Hope we see you then.

[snowwhitesmom]

Big hugs to Nancy aka Meriweather aka My Fairy Godmother! Thanks so much!:hug:

Nancy sent me SEVEN pairs of awesome socks -

Easter pair with a bunny in a spring setting

Halloween pair with a witch, pumpkin and spooky trees in orange and black

Black pair with an adorable cartoonish white elephant face

VERY colorful polka dotted pair

Snowman and Snowflakes pair

Very pretty pink flowered pair

And my absolute favorite -

A red and black pair with moose all over them from ALASKA! We have a lot of moose here too, so they are near and dear to my heart - in fact - I used to have a very interesting pair of earrings............:rotfl2:


Nancy also sent some fun extras - a Minnie bobble pen , Snow White Magic Towel, Yankee Candle Banana Bread Tart, and a great refrigerastor magnet that says "Forget love, I'd Rather Fall In Chocolate!"


Thanks again, Fairy Godmother!

[Meriweather]

LOL....where are those earrings anyway :rotfl: I think they went off in the regift exchange. I will have to look at my lists and see where it is ;)

Glad it arrived, Michelle. I love socks....and had to pick up a few pair on the Alaska cruise ::yes:: Glad I sent you the moose pair. I think the other ones were bears.....we'll see when the other person I sent to checks in ;)

Enjoy....keep the tootsies warm and happy

[Missy1961]

That's funny, I always buy socks wherever I go, too! In fact, I know I bought socks when I went to Alaska in 2001! :rotfl2:

And I must say it was so much fun shopping for this one!

[Meriweather]

LOL....I love socks. I am still wearing the socks on got on our last Alaska cruise in 2004.
I got DD a pair this time that says "All I got from Alaska is these socks"....she loves socks too....that and flip flops. ;)

My other package was delivered today too....so just need someone to check in with us ;)

[Cruisin]

:wave:

I received a package today too.

Mine came to me from Trish, BELLEDOZER.

Inside my very stuffed full, neatly decorated envelope I found NINE pairs of socks:scared1:

Wow Trish you sure know how to send out a great exchange package.

These are the socks that I received:

aqua and black with kittens and mice

aqua and black with neat striped pattern

white socks with a Canadian flag on them :lovestruc

purple, green, pink and white striped toe socks

light blue, dark blue and white striped socks

dark blue, gray and maroon striped socks

plain white socks

dark blue with a red cardinal and swirl patterns in them

and last but not least

Aqua and blue with a nice seahorse on them.

Thanks so much for the wonderful package Trish.

It was great fun.

[DJT]

I'm checking in, Meriweather! Mine came yesterday but I was not feeling well at all (still not) so I didn't post. I will post later describing exactly what I got (great package) but I can say that I absolutely LOVE the pink Alaska socks with bears on them. So cute! When I saw those I told DH that I was pretty sure you got those on your cruise. Thank you SO much. I'll post exactly what I got later. Even though I'm not feeling well, unfortunately I'm at work right now. :sick:

Donna

[Meriweather]

Sorry you aren't feeling well, Donna. Hope that improbes soon. Glad to hear it did arrive. Post whenever you are feeling up to it ::yes::

[DJT]

Here's what Meriweather sent in my package:

Easter bunny rabbit socks

Christmas socks with a snowman and snowflakes

Pair with pretty flowers of different colors

Pair with butterflies and flowers on them

Halloween pair with spiders and candy corn

A blue pair with an animal of some kind on it. DH and I are trying to figure out what the animal is. I said rabbit and he said squirrel. :rotfl2: We don't know for sure. Anyway, they are cute socks.

And my favorite - Pink socks that say Alaska on them and have bears and paw prints all over them. I love those!!!

I also got a banana split magnet (can't beat anything with ice cream and/or chocolate!)

An Ariel magic towel (I know a little girl who will just love this)

A Cinderella fiberoptic ink pen. I've never seen one like this before.

A banana nut bread tart. All those socks smell mighty good! :rotfl:

Meriweather, thank you so much. It was such a good package and a nice surprise especially when I have been under the weather.

Thanks a bunch!

Donna

mickey head coasters and SEVEN pair of socks!

Halloween pair

Pirates pair

Snowman pair

Green striped

Pink Striped

Multi colored striped

and a frog pair!!


I'm so glad to hear that your package arrived safely.

Enjoy your socks.

[Meriweather]

How was the cruise, Robin??

[Cruisin]

How was the cruise, Robin??

It was great.

Thanks for asking Nancy.

The weather was wonderfully hot and mainly sunny.

The waves were small and the boat didn't rock too much.

It did rain occasionally but never when it had any impact on anything we wanted to do.

Couldn't have asked for much more:thumbsup2

[Meriweather]

Sounds great!!

I am anxious to get another cruise planned, but it is hard when we don't know when we will be moving :( As soon as that is settled ::yes::

[Meriweather]

Hope to hear of that last arrive today....or at least in the next couple of days.

[Pooh67_68]

Maybe today.

[Meriweather]

Hope so...today or tomorrow, should be it ::yes::

[Meriweather]

Anything today, Trish?

[BELLEDOZER]

Hi Nancy, I've yet to receive my package of socks. Hopefully will arrive within the next day or two. Will let everyone know when I receive it, and a description of the rather "sockish" contents. Unfortunately this will be my last exchange for a little while, as I'm saving for our trip in Feb/09, and I've decided to save for a better Sony SLR camera for our trip. It doesn't help that the CDN dollar is weaker against the USD, which means that it's costing me more to save USD for the trip (grumble, grumble, grumble!) Have a great day!!

Trish

[Meriweather]

Good luck saving. ::yes:: I know how that goes :rolleyes:

It has been 8 days, so hopefully that sock package will show up VERY soon!!

[Meriweather]

Hopefully today is the day!!

[BELLEDOZER]

Sorry Nancy, but my socks have yet to find their way to me. Must be still walking on their way to me. Hopefully they will be here by the end of the week. Have a great day!!

Trish

[Meriweather]

Sorry it didn't arrive today.
We'll give it until Friday and then go from there.
Sender has offered to resend ::yes::

[Meriweather]

Sending good sock mail thoughts :sunny:

[Meriweather]

Nothing??

[Meriweather]

Anything today, Trish?

[BELLEDOZER]

Hi Nancy, sorry to say, but nothing to report on the SOCK front. This weekend is a long weekend for us, as it's the CDN thanksgiving, and will be going out of town till Tues morning. So if it's going to arrive, the next possible day is Tues. Have a great CDN thanksgiving!

Trish

[Meriweather]

Monday is a holiday here too.
I do have a PM into sender to see if she has any more news.
I think we will have to see about resending something out on Tuesday.
have a great weekend!!

[Meriweather]

Sender is going to check her DC and resend if needed.
She can't do shopping until later in the week, so it may be a bit still.
We will keep this open and keep updates coming until it is received ::yes::

[Meriweather]

Hopefully that arrival will get there....if not they will be remailed this week ::yes::

[Cruisin]

Good morning.

If those socks are crossing the border into Canada you might want to be patient depending on how long ago they were mailed.

Sometimes things take a bit longer to arrive.

They might be held up in a backlog at customs:confused3

[Meriweather]

::yes:: they are coming from the US....mailed on the 29th, so 2 weeks ago. Sender does have DC.....she is going to check on it.

[Cruisin]

Now, if it were a package that were coming to me, I'd probably say to hang on for another week and see if it shows up.

That's just me of course.

I have learned that sometimes these things take time, more time that you would have expected.

Like the time I could have driven an exchange package to it's destination myself in less than 3 hours and it took about 3 weeks for it to get there:confused3

[BELLEDOZER]

Just to let everyone know that all is not lost on the sock front!! I finally received my rather socky package from Melinda (aka Mnm.Rain) today. I received 11 pairs of socks!:scared1: :scared1:

1 pr brown, pink and green slipper socks
1 pr black and grey slipper socks
1 pr black socks with fruit on them
1 pr black socks with a rather spooky ghost:love:
1 pr white socks with a pumpkin and a black cat :love:
1 pr black socks with a large USA on them:love:
1 pr white socks with cherries
1 pr dark pink socks with flowers and greenery
1 pr blue and pink socks with flowers
1 pr of white socks with hearts
and finally a pr of white socks with funky orange flowers :love:

Thanks Melinda for such a great socky package. I love all the socks and thanks for all the thought you put into the package!

Have a great day!!

Trish:grouphug: :grouphug:

[Meriweather]

:woohoo: So glad it arrived, Trish!! Sounds like a great package...and well worth waiting for ::yes::

So that concludes this exchange :yay:
I think in the late winter or spring, we will do it again ::yes::
