NEW: Carmen's 2nd Round Robin

21 years ago

Looking for another dozen people to do another round robin box...I had fun getting the first one together and it's not even half way through yet.......

..I'll start the box and anything goes on this one.....gardening items would be great but you can add anything to the box .....

the box will contain the address labels...You'll get the box and take out items, add more to it...you pick from the list of labels and decide where it heads next

The box will be a Flat Rate Priority Mail box ($7.70 postage) ++ Delivery Confirmation.

Please don't sign up if you cannot send the box back out within 3-4 days of receiving it. That way it should finish up within 1 months time. I hope that you'd post when you shipped it back out so that we arent left wondering where it is....

Let's have some more fun !!!!

    however, in the event if someone else jumps in and wants to join, i'll move aside. but for now, count me in.

  • 20 years ago

    are there seeds and garden whatnots in this box as well?

  • 20 years ago

    I didn't start the box with gardening items.. I didn't have anymore to add --it's an anything goes box....

  • 20 years ago

    the box was received, i'll be going through it this weekend and getting it out by monday. if i can get to the post office today, i'll try to get it on it's way. otherwise, count on monday.

    i'll post later where it's headed and the confirmation number.

  • 20 years ago

    okay, i went through the box, chose a few items and needed to repack it. what a pain that was.

    i did have to change the box because one of the dishwashing soap sample packs was punctured and leaked over a few things.

    this was an interesting box. looking forward to the first one that i believe contains some gardening items.

    thanks carmen, it was fun.
    it will be on it's way to "almost heaven" (that's my hint!!!!) can anyone sing along with me and guess?

    confirmation number 0305 0830 0003 7745 0052, but again, it won't go out until monday.

  • 20 years ago

  • 20 years ago

    I can sing along!!! Almost Heaven WV, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.... Hehehehehe... box has ARRIVED in Almost Heaven. What a box. I've never participated in a robin like this one. I have just started to look through the box but I just keep UNPACKING. Not going to tell what's in it when I do post it as gone only what I took out... don't want to spoil the fun for EVERYONE

    Cassie

  • 20 years ago

    excellent singing cassie.
    aside from the things that i put in the box, one in particular was meant for your daughter.

    neat robin, isn't it?

  • 20 years ago

    HUmmmmmmmm.... West Virginia is very close to Maryland......hint hint..........
    Bonnie

  • 20 years ago

    bonnie, you have to "sing" for it LOL

  • 20 years ago

    " The despot's heel is on thy shore
    Maryland , My Maryland".......
    His torch is at the temple door
    Maryland, My Maryland"
    geez......have you ever read the words to this song?
    They are pretty gruesome....if not depressing......
    I think maybe I like John Denver's song better...
    " Almost heaven..West Virginia...Blue Ridge Mountains...

    ..do I get the box for effort??//

    Bonnie

  • 20 years ago

    maybe if we could send the box to the closest to us then we could get it around faster ....??

  • 20 years ago

    Maryland is very close to West Virginia......... ; )

    Bonnie

  • 20 years ago

    excellent singing, bonnie.
    hope it's on it's way to you and you enjoy it as much as i did.
    looking forward to your first one as well, carmen.

  • 20 years ago

    Heheheheehe... box is all packaged and mailed today. Sorry didn't get mailed yesterday just too many personal things to take care of. Bonnie you sing the WV song well... what's a person to do when there are so many people CLOSE to WV such as both OH and MD!!!! Tomorrow I will post my hint as to where she's a flying. I took out the Snoopy... thanks Earthly my daughter loved it. She was a grinning. The notecards, the dividers, and the cake decorating little thing. I will not say what I put in and maybe we can do this so that everyone else is surprised when they get the box

  • 20 years ago

    Can I still sign up ?

  • 20 years ago

    According to USPS the item was delivered today in MIDDLE RIVER, MD

  • 20 years ago

    Ms Bonnie,
    Do look for the items that are just for you in the box

    Cassie

  • 20 years ago

    cassie,

    that was so nice of you to send it to bonnie, who was so ready to receive the box!

    wonder who will sing next! lol

  • 20 years ago

    "By the time I get to ________ ..............."

    Just kidding, I don't care if it's me next but I think this is a cute idea, everybody singing clues ..... " :)

  • 20 years ago

    Earthly it's kinda of funny because I had actually narrowed it down to her or the person lives in OH... and then who could resist the Bonnie singing!!!! Hehehehee especially when she sang the WV state song so well. Giggling

    Cassie

  • 20 years ago

    The box is here. yippee!!!! . I don't know if my singing did it or not..but I will not quit my daytime job anytime too soon, just in case.
    The box was fun.....lots of goodies inside.
    I took out some great seeds and bulbs left for me....thank you so much Cassie.!!!
    I also took out some silverplated napkin rings and miniature salt and pepper shakers, a great cook book by Paul Prudhomme, which I was surprised no one else took out.
    I do love to cook and this new book is full of goodies to fix. Also took out a paper gift sack . I packed the box full to the brim with about 10 new items which I hope others will like.
    I received the box on Wednesday..but I was not home until today afternoon to open it. I work tomorrow, but promise to get it mailed out Saturday morning at which time I will post the confirmation number and the next person to receive the box.
    I made a list of the original items sent out in this box.
    I was curious to see how many of the original items would be here still when I got the box. It was interesting to see what was taken and which original items still remain. Out of about 24 items...there were still about 11. Some real cute things and lots of variety. You did a good job packing the box, ladies.....thank you. It was fun.
    And now......anybody ever heard of the " Buckeyed- Susan" flower? Hint hint...

  • 20 years ago

    The box went out this morning from Middle River, Maryland and on its way to LISA in Ohio.
    DC # is 03031910000103724758
    Enjoy the box..

  • 20 years ago

    Hi all...thought I might get the box yesterday and couldn't wait to get home from work to see. To my dismay, there was no box on my porch. I traced the DC # last evening, and it said it had been delivered in Negley at 3:06 pm. UH OH! As panic set in...coupled with the fear that a bunch of angry gardenwebbers would be after me...I looked all around my house, thinking I may have a new carrier and they left it in a different spot...but NO BOX WAS TO BE FOUND! I stopped in the Post Office on my way in to work this morning, and after a little search, the Post Master retrieved the box. Yay! She said the carrier did not want to risk getting it wet on my porch because of the terrible storms we had yesterday. Soooo....to make a short story long...I have the box and can't wait to open it tonight when I get home. I will get it back out tomorrow and will post the DC #. - Lisa

  • 20 years ago

    Major anxeity for a while there. I'm so glad it was you and not me. Can't wait to see where it goes next.

    Janet

  • 20 years ago

    Wow! This box is stuffed so full...the next lucky person will have lots of things to go through! Carmen...thanks for putting in the gift certificate to Restaurant.com...I'm sure I'll enjoy this. I also got a few other cute things and added enough items so that I could bearly get it closed.
    I got her mailed off this morning and the DC # is:
    0103 8555 7494 9832 8973

    It's heading off to the Land of Lincoln... and another hint is:
    Dusty day dawning three hours late
    Open the curtains and let the rest wait
    My mind goes running three thousand miles east
    I may miss the harvest but I won't miss the feast
    (Chorus)
    And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
    And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
    And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
    Illinois...oh, Illinois
    Illinois, Illinois

    That wasn't me singing...but Dan Fogelberg. He has a much nicer voice. Have fun all and thanks Carmen for coordinating this Robin! - Lisa

  • 20 years ago

    i love dan fogelberg, he was always one of my favorites, haven't heard from him or about him in quite a few years.

  • 20 years ago

    I was wondering if there were any other Fogelberg fans here.
    Earthly, if you check his website, you may be saddened to learn that he has prostrate cancer in an advanced stage. I hope he will recover...he is truly a talented artist and I have grown up with many of his songs!

  • 20 years ago

    Sign me up - I sent you my info sheet via email

  • 20 years ago

    The robin came Saturday. What a treasure trove! I plan on getting it out tomorrow and will post confirmation when I do. I don't remember off hand where it is going but I believe its maybe only a state away!

  • 20 years ago

    Since we are on a musical theme, Rock and Roll is the hint for the next person. The box will probably come ROLLing up to you door on Weds.
    Confirmation number #0304 3490 0002 4317 7265
    Theres no rattle and ROLL in this box!

  • 20 years ago

    I'm thinking this could possibly be me...... Hmmmmm...smiles. If it is, I can't wait!!!!!! LoL
    If it isn't me, it has to be MI, Detroit, Rock and ROLL central. HA!

    Hope everyone is staing cool in these hot days!
    I have squash trying to bloom all over the place, and the tomatoes are forming yea!!!! Have been eating radishes like crazy, and will pull up some beets tomorrow, yummy!

  • 20 years ago

    Gail2568~ Although you may be busy with your business/family, you did sign on for this robin and by doing so agreed to the rules set. The robin was in fact delivered to your house, the confirmation number and the date are:

    Label/Receipt Number: 0305 0830 0003 8274 4931
    Status: Delivered

    Your item was delivered at 10:09 am on July 25, 2005 in DE SOTO, KS 66018.

    The robin was to move in 2 to 3 days after receipt. I would appreciate you sending it to the next person and providing me or posting what the confirmation number is. If you are not interested in going through it,and taking and replacing, then to just send it to the next person.

    It is not fair that there's been no communication, and other people are anxiously awaiting this and looking to play.You signed up in good faith, and should subscribe to fairness and decency when making such a commitment, albeit it a small one.

    You have 3 days to respond --Or I will have no alternative than to contact the postmaster and file an affidavit of fraud.
