Holiday Recipe Exchange sent/received thread

[Meriweather]

Tomorrow I will check on all those that seem to be taking too long......but yes, the mail does seem to be slow. I have noticed it in some other exchanges also

And....3 of our people are from Canada, so those going to/from them will take longer.

Anyway....hope we hear some good news today .....and lots of it!!

Meriweather,

My package for NC Belle was just returned to me today by the post office claiming "no such street". I just sent her a PM to see where to resend it to. I'm awaiting a reply. I really can't wait to get it to her. Thanks cvemom

 

[Meriweather]

Hmmm...interesting. I used the same PM she sent me.
Let me know.

anything today?? Where are they all?

 

[Meriweather]

anybody have anything to report?

 

[ADisneygirl]

My package SHOULD arrive by tomorrow or Saturday. Odd how so many are taking so long. Maybe the holiday mailers have gotten an early start this year and are bogging down the P.O?! Anyway, when it gets there I hope she likes it! I will look excitedly on here to see when she has posted!

I made a slight error, and our regular postal clerks who would have foward it were not on duty this past week. I've sent a pm to Cvemom.
Well, 2 out 3 different exchanges made it to this exchange rookie--I just can't join when tired or after crunching numbers.


Cvemom, I hope you feel 100% soon.

 

[Meriweather]

Well, I guess one arrival today is something Sounds like a good one too!

I do hope to hear lots more tomorrow and Sat.

I got mail today from ADisneygirl!!!

Here are the recipes I received...

Macaroni Grill's Foccacia
Mrs. Spina's Meatball & Gravy (dh will love this one!)
Black Russian Brownies (may have to be the first recipe I try )
Galaktobouriko-Milk Pie (I have never heard of this and can't wait to try this one out)

Cheesy Spinach Pinwheels
Mom's meatloaf

Marie also included almond extract, a set of wooden spoons, 4 packs of stickers, a snowman oven mitt and matching dish towel and an adorable gingerbread man wall decoration.

Thank you so much Marie, I am absolutely thrilled with everything!

Are we able to get some of the recipies others received?

I sure would like to have the broccollie rice casserole and baked brie with apples and cranberries. That sounds good for Thanksgiving that will be coming up soon

Glad to hear of some arrivals!

My suggestion, if you are interested in receiving some of the recipes that people mention, is to send a PM to the person that sent it to them. I'm sure most will be glad to share.

I'm going to go send some PMs out to check on some people. Surely more of these must have arrived. We have some that were sent 10 days ago!

Later tonight I will do the "week since mail-by" list of those still waiting, so you all can kind of keep and eye on them while I am gone.
I will catch up on the 6th and will do what needs to be done then ...which hopefully will be nothing.

I got mail today from ADisneygirl!!!

meeshi~

So glad that you liked your package! Those venetians are my family's favorite. I only make them at holidays, so they have to wait for them!

 

[Epcotgal8]

I'm so glad you like your package Karen! The pecans were JUST off the tree! I gathered them right before I left to send your package. Those that you don't use for cooking you can throw shell and all into the fireplace for a nice aroma.
