COMPLETE ABC Letter/Elements Swap

[Mickeyteacher]

I will be redoing a whole group this weekend and I will mail no later then Monday. I had put stickles on my Nemo elements only to not have it dry (it was out almost 5 days in the basement). I think that it would not dry because our basement has been so cold.
So, tonight I came home and looked to see if it was dry yet... only to find all the elements stacked up with things placed on top of them. They are all ruined. Seems the cleaning lady decided to clean up my mess today while she was here.

I picked up the new supplies this evening when I took DD to her birthday party, so I will get busy tomorrow and get them done.
SOrry for the delay, but I WILL mail it on Monday.

Oh, that's awful, what a waste of your time and supplies

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Hug for the have to redo. But where is the jealous face for having a cleaning lady?

Do not rush. I am still waiting for Jayne's items.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

OH NO Shawna~~~ I'm so sorry.. I had hoped they would dry after we spoke....

AWM ~ I'm jealous too.. I am the cleaning lady around here.... I'd love some help ....but maybe not in my scrap area!

I haven't received Jayne's yet...we'll keep each other posted on that arrival... darn pond crossing!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Were they mailed close to the same time?

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I think so... let me check my date... but I believe they were...

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Princess Jayne mailed out about 12/3..... so I bet they went out the same time....

I am postal as of Monday 12/13-our local post office had a fire so everything that was salvagable was taken and mailed from another location. Thank goodness mine was okay, according to the call from the post office rep today. It's supposed to go out on Monday, however we are in the middle of experience the wonderful winter blizzard...so it may be delayed.

Oh my! Fires and cleaning ladies! I think this swap is cursed!

Glad to hear your items weren't toast

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Bite your tongue!!

Curses on swaps do happen. To more than one swap.


We are expecting some icky weather too.

 

[mommy2mrb]

I'm jealous of you ladies too, for different reasons....

I hope the curse is lifted soon...

Oh, man... Hope everything was replaceable and no one was hurt.

On a positive note- my items have been remade, packaged and ready to be mailed Monday. If I end up going out tomorrow to meet DD's room mom from school, I might mail them tomorrow. I will let you know when I'm postal and what the dc number is.

yeah they were both mailed about the same time from the same PO - i really hope they turn up soon - nothing i've sent has gone missing before and this is really frustrating!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

LM3K - your package arrived today. A little wet from sitting in the snow. But I think everything is okay.

Neighbor plowed my driveway, so mailman actually delivered the package. Gosh was I shocked when my DH brought it in. I didn't even think to look for it this afternoon.

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Everything was bagged and sealed, so it should be ok...let me know if anything was not please!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I will. I am pretty sure it is all fine. If it looked damaged, I would have opened it right away.

Question: With the holidays fast approaching, do you want me to mail the packages in with the holiday mail? I'm afraid I didn't really look at the calendar when I postponed the due date. MT should be here soon, but it won't be until the weekend that I can swap out. Do you want me to mail it out on the 20th or wait until the 27th (that is when I come back home from the ILs house)? Let me know your feelings.

 

[Princess Jayne]

Im guessing mine still haven't arrived? This is so frustrating!

My vote is........ whatever is easier for you! If you want them out of the way then mail them on the 20th if it would cause additional holiday stress then mail on the 27th.

Hukuna-Matata! And Merry Christmas!!

Whatever's more convenient for you.
I'm totally ok with waiting for mine until after Christmas.
