Yes, I do have the confirmation slip. I will hang onto it! Doris

Dang - I'm afraid of you guys! lol. But really it is ridiculous. Are the contents of the box you have really worth your integrity? I mean - come on!

Sorry Carmen - that this has happened.

what's to fear dawn? a player accepted a package that was sent in good faith, the least that person can do is keep it moving.

the contents of a garden box may not be worth millions, but one's integrity MUST be worth something.

a letter has been sent to her personal and business email addys. She has 3 days to respond

I was just joking about the fear thing! BUT, check this out!! I JUST GOT A BOX IN THE MAIL - I THINK IT HAS TO BE FROM THIS SWAP! I'M NOT SURE BUT I HAVEN'T OPENED IT YET. The return address says Doris' addy in black ink. AHHH- I just pulled up the address label and underneath it was the old one with Amys label! She sent it to me ! YIPPPEEE- Here we go again! There is aDC# - perhaps she didn't know she had to post the update OR maybe her computer is broken! I am sooo stuffed from eating my words! Let me see whats in here and I'll get back to you guys!

Have fun, ladies and gents! Dawn - mgood4u

put that hammock right back in there! LOL

glad it arrived, sounds like another fun one, can't wait to get my hands on it.

got an email from Hipchick--she forgot about the 2-3 days to get it back out, and also the posting here to let us know where it's going and DC#

Ladies, please remember you shouldn't have the box more than 2-3 days and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post the DC# or email me

Dawn,

You dawg, you, lol.

I have the perfect place for that hammock!

Enjoy it! :) :)

I'm so glad that this is back on track!

Gail

I wanted to apologize to everyone, I have never done a round robin, though I trade a fair amount, i am so sorry I screwed it up!!!

I should have bookmarked the original thread with the rules, by the time the box came I forgot I was even on the swap, never mind what I was supposed to do.

Anyway, I am very sorry to make you all worry and wait, and I hope you all get some good things from it.

Bad amy. Bad.

Amy~you are a very naughty girl! lol.

I am definately sending the box out today (Fri.) I will post the DC# after work.

mgood4u

Ok the box was mailed out to Earthly Delights today. Here is the DC# 0304 1560 0000 6058 9030

Enjoy!!!! Dawn

earthly will make the 6th to get it (almost 1/2 over) --and it sounds like there is still alot of the original stuff in there ladies......I'd hate to get my stuff back after all this "trouble".....please take more out , and add back till the box is full.......LOL

the robin was delivered
i'll post tomorrow after i've had a chance to go through it and see what's there as i'm sure i'll find something. i'm afraid if i start now, i'll be up for another hour, and it's late and i have an early meeting, so goodnight all :)

sorry for the delay everyone, i'm usually so much better than this, but this hasn't been a good "time management" month.

the robin is going out in tomorrow's mail, stuffed. i used a new box, so it should last another few addresses.

confirmation number 03050830000377450137

who made the soap? what is that fragrance, i can't put my finger/nose to it.

Well guess what......it arrived in ONE day( today) in a great new box with lots of goodies packed to the brim. Thanks so much, Earthly. You are the "Queen" package wrapper/stuffer of all times.
And guess what again.....it got mailed out in todays afternoon mail.
Get ready, Ididit( Christine), because it's coming your way.
DC # is 03050830000377450120
Carmen.. thank you again for starting this one.
Bonnie

wow bonnie, i'm amazed. i went to the post office that opened at 8:00. was the third in line. guess timing is everything.

hope you found stuff you liked. and i think the post office needs to increase the size of the one rate box just a tad, don't ya agree?

where is this one at ?? it should be headed to the 8th person--which means we are 2/3rds of the way done--Can't wait to get it back--Very anxious !!

Earthly, yes indeedy........I found some cute things I liked. I took the stone planter, some plant stakes, a small picture frame, and a windchime to replace the one the wind has taken away here. I do agree...the box should/could be bigger.
Carmen, the box went to Lusby Md., yesterday the day I got it in the mail. I didn't waste any time. I know how eager everyone is to get this robin.
Bonnie

Is this stagnant again?

I checked with the USPS and the package arrived on July 13th to Lusby, Md. one day after I sent it from my house.
DC#was 03050830000377450120
Maybe Christine is on vacation?

Bonnie

anyone ??

I e-mailed Christine and asked if she is going to send the box on. I will let you know if I get an answer.

Just a suggestion: if you know that you're going on vacation maybe it would be a good thing to post here and then if you were next on the list, you could be skipped and catch up to it later.

or better yet, e-mail the person before you send the box out to make sure you get a response. if you don't, bypass them. one to two days to write and get a response is enough of a time frame. then you can post that you emailed and received an acknowledgement and it's on their way. the confirmation number just proves it's been delivered. if someone choses to retain it, it's mail fraud.

i haven't seen christine post for quite some time. she's normally very active in the plant exchange, but haven't seen anything in several weeks, if not longer, from her.

carmen, maybe you might want to post over there as a "have you seen ..." type post? just a suggestion. (we've been down this road a few times already, haven't we?)

is this still MIA--I must be cursed--both of my RR's are MIA---AGAIN !!

I received an e-mail from Christine. She was in a bad accident and out of commission for awhile.
She said that she would send the box out on Wednesday.

Gail

Any new info on her??

We are only halfway through this RR and we kinda need to speed things up....this has been a really long drawn out one.

I haven't heard anything else. I did see that she was posting again on the Plant Exchange.

Gail

If the box shows up here is my new addy i have moved
Jamie KIndrix
231 coffey rd
oak grove la 71263

I feel bad for those in this RR that still have not gotten the box. This should not happen. I've been in a few RR's and find it depressing when things get bogged down and I and many others still haven't gotten our turn at the box.

I am willing to put together a box of items I have received that either I can't use or don't want, and send it to the next person in line that was supposed to get the box.

I'll just consider this my " feel good" contribution to this RR that Carmen was gracious enough to start for us.
Everybody ok with this?
Bonnie

this is very generous of you Bonnie !!
We have 5 left to receive on this RR--and I'm sure all would be very grateful to you for the gesture.
I am fairly new to GardenWeb--and immediately took on two Round Robins to get in on the fun. I belong to a coupon/stockpile board where we swap "goodie boxes" and loved the idea of getting into the "garden" trading. I'm sorry to say that these have been anything but pleasant. Both of my RR's are LOST and MIA --stuck with people who I consider to be inconsiderate--not even reply to multiple emails. If you have no intention of sending out your end...Why bother signing up--I consider it right up there with stealing.
Thanks bunches Bonnie--I'll send you a list of ladies waiting to get this RR later tonight.
Carmen

I am going to get the package off tomorrow. I will post the confirmation number so you all can trace it.
The package will be going to
Jamie in Louisiana, so be on the lookout. I do not have a flat rate box..so it will be coming in a regular box.
I'll also be sending a list of those people that did not get the box yet.
Bonnie

Carmen's Robin is on its way again.
I mailed the replacement package to Jamie yesterday.
The DC# is 03031910000103724772
I hope this helps those that didn't receive the original box.
Bonnie

Ok.. I need to know if the package got to its destination in Louisiana.
I checked the DC# and it shows no new information about delivery.
I sure hope you are ok down there, Jamie.
Bonnie

I sent the robin out on August 26th and it was received in Louisiana according to the USPS on August 30th. Since today is the 11th and it has been at her house for 11 days, I'm assuming Jamie got the box and just hasn't told us yet. I do hope she is ok but would appreciate it if she would let us know she got it and give us some idea of when it will go out again.
Bonnie

Bonnie,

GGsnail.......has the box shown up?
I'd love to know if the box gets back to Carmen......
Bonnie

Hi y'all.

I picked up the box at the post office yesterday. I don't have a mailbox at my house, I have a lock box down the street. The mailman left a notice on Friday for me to pick it up but I got (still have) a kidney infection & couldn't go this weekend. I will go through the box today & get it on it's way.

Sorry for the delay.

Gail

Box went out yesterday to Iowa.

Sorry for the delay - still sick.

Gail

Gail,
I sure do hope you get well soon. It's no fun being sick.
Thanks for getting the box back out... I do hope you took something from the box that you wanted.

Bonnie

This MUST be a record. I got the box yesterday, Wednesday!!! It only took 1 day to get from Texas to Iowa. What is wrong with this picture? GREAT to get the box, but a shock to get it in one day. I will be taking out of couple of items that look nice and replacing with some others. Carmen, thank you so much for sending another box after the other one disappeared. You are a gem. I will try-not promise-to get this out by tomorrow. But I do promise that it will go out by Monday. Mellen

Mellen ... I think the box you got from Iowa (GGsnail) is not from Carmen, but the box I made up as a replacement and sent to the last 4 people on the list after the box was lost.I didnt think Carmen should have to make up another one.
Bonnie

Bonnie, Then I am VERY GRATEFUL to you for doing this for the last 4 of us. We all know you didn't have to do it. It just shows what a kind, caring, generous person you are.

Appreciatively,
Mellen/Mary Ellen

Mary Ellen.. I'm just glad if you found something in the box that you wanted. I'm also glad you hung in there and saw this robin to the end. I know Carmen will breathe a sign of relief when this one is over.
Have a great autumn.
Bonnie

Carmen, a box is finally coming home to you, thanks to Bonnie/gardnwatch starting up one for the last four of us. I sent it out yesterday(Monday.) I will be curious to see how long it takes to get to you from here. I got it from Texas to Iowa in one day. Any bets that it will go from Iowa to Texas in that amount of time? My guess is "no," but I hope I am wrong! The delivery confirmation number is

0302 2940 0002 0108 7594

Carmen, thank you for initiating this round robin. Special thank yous to Bonnie for providing a box for the last four of us. You went above and beyond what most people would do, Bonnie. You ARE a special lady! Mellen/Mary Ellen

Mary Ellen......thank you for your kind words.
I just contributed to the finality of a nice robin that Carmen had started.
Carmen....please let us know when you get the box. We will be so happy for the successful completion and arrival of this robin to your home.
Bonnie

Carmen..I wish you would post here if you got the box.
We all who are left would like to know that you got your box back. I know that you are busy, like the rest of us..but we have been patiently waiting to hear news of the box getting to you and there has been no word.
I for one...would like to have closure to this swap.
Bonnie

Sorry for the delay in posting to the board--I had emailed the person who sent it to me, then had major computer problems. I finally got the box and loved it --especially the wonderful windchimes,purple candles and seeds---my daughter ravaged the box claiming lots in it. We thank you

Thanks ladies
Have a great evening
