Surprise Swap III ~ completed~

[TPCShauna]

My package was returned for insufficient postage. Beth (the pet sitter) overnighted it to Kat this morning.

Note for y'all when using those new little Priority boxes. They are $4.60 if they weigh less than 16 oz. If it weighs more than that, cost is by weight. Don't trust the post office because they aren't clear on the costs. They are the ones that told me the box was bulk rate but it's not.

Well guys, I'm sure you can figure out that sort day isn't going to happen this weekend. We are waiting on two packages: SusieStone and TPCShauna, both of whom are dealing with family emergencies. We were already planning on bumping sort day to next weekend, but that might not even work. Kat will be gone the following weekend, and then we're into Thanksgiving. So the new return date is, like the swap...a Surprise.

We want to make sure that Shauna and Susie have time to get more important things in order, and we want to hear from them before we make another plan. I promise though that we aren't planning on putting your stuff on Ebay, or starting a website or taking off. We'll try to keep everyone aware of where we are at, as we get that info ourselves. If anyone has any concerns about waiting, you can PM us.

Thanks to all for understanding.

Thanks Hope! I totally agree and hope that everyone understands. Everything is safe and sound here in my Den We will get it back as soon as we can. I do want to wait until we hear again from Susie and Shauna.

No Worries Shauna. Like Hope says this is a "surprise swap"

We get them when we get them.....no worries at all.

Nothing is more important than family emergencies/tragedies and I'm sure everyone will agree.

When they make it, they make it. Family comes first

 

[KatDisney]

Shauna your package arrived

 

[MazdaUK]

No problems with waiting I'm sure packing up bits of paper is the last thing on their minds

 

[lewdyan1]

[mommy2mrb]

Ladies,

Just wanted to let you all know that I am still here Just keeping super busy at work with this new account that they put on me. I have been so stressed and exhausted DH is taking me on a weekend getaway to Disneyland on the 16th! I can't wait to escape the real world even if it is just for a couple of days. I just don't want anyone to freak or think I am MIA

 

[Faerie]

How nice for you Kat! What a wonderful breather!

Thanks for letting us know. We should be able to get everything sorted on Sunday and turned around,and you and Stone will have a "distraction" package to look forward to. I purposely made things for you that young boys should enjoy.

Kat, have a fun Disney trip!!

Sending you and Hope much for sorting! I can't imagine trying to keep this one straight!!

After sorting Surprise Swap II and the Color swap the same day, I learned something...so I have a new plan of attack. Of course, complicating things will be all my requested items.

For those of you that requested stuff, they will be separate from the regular group stuff. So each of your "group" bags will have 5 items, and then there will be a "Hope" bag. The exception is the lettered groups. You will have 6 item group bags for those, just like any other 6-person swap.

If you didn't request items from me, then your group bags will have 6 items, just like you would expect from any other swap.

 

[MazdaUK]

As long as that makes sense to you

 

[KatDisney]

Susie's box arrived today. Sorting shouldn't be all that hard I found a system the last time the worked good so i will be doing that again. Everyone's items are fantastic and I know you will all be so excited to get them back! I will post pictures soon. Thank you all for participating.

 

[SusieStone]

I am so glad that it got there

 

[MazdaUK]

Stuff coming back. Not that I'm impatient or anything
