Fall Yankee Candle sent/received thread

[jwsqrdplus2]

My sister just dropped me a quick e-mail to tell me her "surprise" had arrived. She was at work, so she couldn't remember exactly what was in the package but she mentioned a car jar, small jar and a couple of votives. All in scents she adores (direct quote from her!). She promised to send me the complete list of contents when she gets a few minutes.

So whoever sent to Esther B in Dallas, thanks from her and her big sister!

I got mail! I was feeling pretty yucky today, no thanks to my medication, so it was a nice day to get presents.

Thank you to Elaine (helenabear) for the great YC package. Inside it I found:

Two small jar candles - pink baby powder and clean cotton
Two pretty candle holders
Two clean cotton votives

They all smell so good - exactly what I like! You did good Elaine!

Thanks to Nancy for arranging this monstrosity of an exchange too! It must be a ton of work.

Jessica that was from ILUVDXL

And grinningghost's was another that was ordered first day....so they should all be showing up soon. I think about half of them have.

As for organizing....so far has been the easy part....the hard part is always when people don't communicate and I have to track them down to find out if they mailed! SO....please post when you do Or you will be getting a reminder PM from me tomorrow. The fewer of those I have to send out the better.

I hope I don't either
Right now it is 7 reminders that will be going out if I don't hear from people by tomorrow afternoon....not too bad considering how many people were in this one

I sent mine out on Wednesday Priotiy Mail, and it should have arrived by Saturday. I sure hope that mine got theirs okay.

 

[Meriweather]

I will do a check....we have about 4 people participating that are in AL.....that may be slowing things down for them some.
