Stacie,
Please post a delivery confirmation number and let us know when the box went out.

Thanks!
Deb

Deb I recieved my box today, the bird house is beautiful and I have just the place for it. I put the duck (mallard) figurine next to my mini moose and they look great together. I thank you for the seeds Alluim and walking onions,I will let you know how they do. The smell of the bath salts was great. I'll be one relaxed, beaut in the tub using the salts along with the candle you sent. This presents benenies my hubby will enjoy too after bathing when I curl up to read the garden mag you sent. Everyone likes that fresh cleaned up, smell. I think I'm going to use chalk spray on the tiles you sent to and hang them in my garden shed to write things I may need to remember. So many goodies, it's like Christmas in August. Thanks bunches Ohh, almost forgot. The bunny arrived alittle bruised from the shipping process but with a little loving care she will be back to tip top shape.
I'm still in process of packaging yours but soon to ship hopefully

Thanks again
Peace in playin with nature
Char

Char,
I'm glad your happy with your box. I really enjoy making crafts, especially birdhouse items. Sorry about the rabbit, I purchased it! I thought it looked sort of homemade (whittled whitewashed wood). It was probably some sort of resin, and I assumed was sturdy. Who knows what the box went through, I'm sure it must of been tossed really well by our wonderful postal system. Oh well, hopefully, you can fix it. Hotglue a little moss to any injured areas, add a few silk or dried flowers. Or if the ears are broke, buy a small straw hat.

Char emailed me and wanted to join the swap, I already assigned swap Pal's so I swapped with her! ;)

Lunamoon,
Your box arrived! Thank You SOOOOO much! I loved everything you sent! Candles~ pillar..tri-color in Citrus Sage! Plus, 6 of the best smelling votives! Macrame plant hanger, already has a spider plant in it! Really pretty barette made from sculpy? I love the colors! Plus, 2 pairs (really beautiful- stone) earrings! M&M COOKIES a container full! I didn't have a chance to try them yet (we had a late dinner), but they smell so good!

Thank you so much for the PERFECT CRAFT BOX! I feel as though I went to a craft fair! Your really talented, in so many areas! I just love your stuff! ;)

Deb

Just emailed Sue and let her know what is going on. We had the fair going on the last week, sick neighbor and funeral for neighbor today. We are up to our arm pits in canning and things getting ready for DH and school Monday. Will mail out and post the DC

waiting to hear back from you .
susie

The box will go out Monday. I send from my folks office, they have an account and it is a lot cheaper, I am going down this weekend and the box will go out Monday. Now if we could hear from hummingbird daisy, about my box that would be great.

Stacie

Char,
I LOVED all the goodies you sent! Thank you sooooo much!
Violets are my favorite, along with birdhouse items.. and you based the box on that, how thoughtful! Let me share with everyone what Char sent..

An adorable handmade rabbit done in garden angel/birdhouse fabric with long floppy ears! Cute heart hanging birdhouse with a flowerpot embedded in the front (so adorable), complete with dried flowers! Handpainted birdhouse pin with ivy laced accents. Hand crocheted potholder (purple violets), african violet magazine, USA Angel pin, winter frost bath crystals, violet notepad/pen, morning glory seeds- "Pearly Gates" "Dwarf blue ensign," tools to pluck 'suckers' out of african violet plants, few teas to try, candy stick, bird watching for Dummies book, LOL.. and an African violet scrapbook (with such detail), plus a "Bless our Nest" wooden plaque, absolutely gorgeous.
Char, this has to be the best box I've ever received! I can't thank you enough! Your very talented, and generous! Thanks so much for being my Craft pal!

Hugs,
Deb

I'm glad you love the enclosed items Deb and hope you will enjoy them as much as I enjoy the box you sent me. This is so much fun. Gardening with friends, GOTTA LOVE IT.
Always Playin with Nature

Peace
Char

thank you & happy gardening
susie

All boxes were to be mailed on/around-
July 24th thru 26th--- Please mail any late boxes ASAP, and post a delivery confirmation #.

I would love to wrap up this swap!

Deb

Deb~ If anyone needs a replacement box, let me know. I'm more than willing to make up a box for someone if needed.

Stacy
Tried to send you a email but agin it came back .
Just wanted you to know That if you did not recieve
your craft box from your sender then please
Don't worry about sending me a box .

Its really a shame when players sign up & then fail to
follow through with their end when they have recieved .

So stacy I'm Sorry you did not recieve a box .
& wanted you know not to worry about sending .

susie

Susie,

I never did recieve a box from hummingbird daisy nor have I heard from her. I promise I will get something out to you, even if I don't get box in return. We have just been so busy with school and canning and fair time that I haven't had time to even catch my breath. I feel bad that I didn't get a box but don't want to let you down cuz I know how crappy that feels:( So as soon as I can get a box out I will even though I didn't get a box, I want you to feel better:)

Stacie
Who agrees that it is too bad when someone gets a box from a swap but then doesn't send one out.

Sorry to hear that some boxes were sent out to players and no box was recieved back. What a bummer that must feel like. I would be willing to send a box out if someone didn't recieve. Email me an address Deb for Stacie and I can get one sent out to her if you would prefer. Stacie, turn that frown upside down and cheer up cause we have a great bunch of gals here and I know when a box does arrive to you the goodies nestled inside it will make your heart shine like the sun.
Peace in playin with nature
Char

Lunamoon & Char,
Thank you both for your generous offer!
I'm going to hold off for now- trying to give Tina (Hummingbirdaisy) a little more time.

Tina,
Please post and let us know how your doing, and if a replacement box should be mailed for you, or if Stacie's box will be going out shortly.

Stacie,
Please send Susie's box out ASAP. You will get a box, I promise. If Tina doesn't send it to you, I will.

Let's just give this a little more time.

Deb

Stacie,
Tina (Hummingbirdaisy) emailed me and your box is going out next week, it's packed and ready to go. She tried to email you a couple of times and never received any responses.
She's having trouble posting on the GW, and thinks her computer has a virus. So, please send Susie's box out right away. I want to wrap up this swap, ASAP! :)

Thanks!

Deb

You know what since I haven't gotten my box yet and since I haven't gotten one out to susie. Just have Tina send a box to Susie and then we can call it done and just drop me out of the swap. That way you are not waiting on 2 boxes just one. I feel bad but with talking with Susie about people getting boxes and not sending their end, this way I can just drop out and not be anyones problem.

Stacie

Since this seems to be such a big deal, and I have been in contact with Sue since the beginning, and she doesn't have a problem with me or being tardy I will get a box out to her. Even though it is doubtful that I will get a box in return.

Stacie

Stacie,
If you decide to drop out of the swap, (as per your above post) or stay -it's up to you... A box will be mailed to Susie. If Tina doesn't send one, I will. I also promised to send you a box if Tina was unable. So, either way, NO ONE will be left out. I've ran several swaps, and always sent replacement boxes. I was just patiently giving this a little time.

Tina did say (by email) that She had a box ready and waiting to go for you.

I've never had anyone unhappy in any of my swaps. I'll always make sure EVERYONE receives a box.

Deb

Deb,

I have talked to Sue and a box will go out. I will honor my word about sending her a box. We have just been overly busy and crazy at our house this summer and I have been in contact with Sue from day one. I just don't want hurt feelings and to cause problems. I was just feeling put out that I hadn't even gotten a box and feeling negative feelings towards me when Tina hasn't mailed me a box yet. I will have a box out on Monday and I hope that Tina will do the same to be fair about the swap.

Stacie

Stacie,
Tina mailed your package today. DC# 0306 0320 0000 8715 5251.

Deb

Please pardon the interruption, but I seem to not be able to reach Tina by email either re: a box I've been waiting for. I was hoping to catch her attention on this forum to finally complete the trade.

Debbya, would you please be so kind as to ask her to contact me so I can get an update? I will post on the main plant exchange page if I'm not able to reach her this way. Maybe she'll see it there. Thanks so much!!! Andrea :)

I got a box today, it had 2 potholders, little envelope of bath salt, notebook, 6 tea bags.

I will get a box out to Susie tomorrow.

Stacie

Stacie - I tried to e-mail again, but I don't think you got it. Those are not potholders, they are handmade 100% cotton washclothes. I hope you enjoy them. My DH and children really like them alot. The bath salts are handmade as well.
My sincerest aplogies for being so late in sending.

Sue - Was wondering if you've received your box yet?
If Stacie is having some difficulties, I would be delighted to send you a box. :-)

Deb - Thank you SO much for being so patient and keeping faith in me. You are so wonderful! I am blessed to have you as a gardening friend.

Hi Tina,
Sue never did receive a box from Stacie yet.

Deb

I'm mailing out a replacement box for Susie today.

Swap CLOSED..
Thanks to all that participated, and made this SO MUCH FUN!

Deb

The box for Susie ended up being mailed today. I packed up everything this morning. Susie, it's not crafts, but plants (cuttings from some of my favorite *named* Coleus). I hope you enjoy them!

USPS #0303 0320 0005 0614 2107.

Deb

debby the box did arrive & thank you for sharing the cutting I had to reseach how to root them ,& I do
hope I do right by them :)) .

thank you
susie

I got a box out full of crafty goodies and homemade love:)

Here is the confirmation number, I wanted to make good on my promise despite the box I recieved.

Stacie
03052710000214805008

I have a few things to say..and hope after this brief comment the swap ends peacefully.

Stressful things happen in life that make us fall behind. No one expects these things to happen.. but once they do, mailing a box out is one of the last things on your mind.
Swapping is done for pure fun. You take a chance each time you swap. Nit picking what was in the box is really uncalled for. Time was taken to make ANY CRAFT, plus pack & mail ANY box. I didn't ask each person to include a number of items, just whatever items they created and wanted to share. It was the thought that counts.

I hosted this swap with the intentions of everyone having fun, and receiving something. I would of personally sent out any packages that came up as no-shows/lost.
It's so easy to type a quick rant (complaint) without really thinking on how hurtful the words are. Please take the extra time to think about what your posting (especially if it's rude) you can't take it back once you've posted it.

To be very honest..I would of loved to get Tina's box. Just knowing that Tina took the time to pack/send me something, really anything- even though Her life was stressful at the moment, would of been enough for me.

Deb

stacy

Thank you for the very nice box I recieved
a very heavy box today fill with so many nice items
& would love to show everyone .
stacy the only one that didn't make it was the jar of
Bath crystals the lid came off & it was all over the box but that is ok for I have a shower here in my home only , but the thought is what counted :))
many might think doilies are out dated boy not me
I love them & i use them they are the best .
the butterflies & welcome sign will be hung on my new deck as soon as the rains leave & sun comes back out :))
the box smelled wonderful :))) thank you
again susie

{{gwi:1283777}}

Susie,

So glad that it made it there, even though the bath salts became perfume for the box:) But since you don't have a bathtub it works well. I had lots of fun putting this together, Hope the cookies didn't smell like lemon bath salts:)

Stacie
