    Although she missed the guessing game, I did send sweetkitten who I now know is Rita an email to come in and join in the conversations. Hopefully she will.

    Margo

  • 11 years ago

    Well, change in that info. I just noticed my email reply to Rita could not be delivered. Said the account was disabled or discontinued. I will contact her via Gardenweb and ask her to stop in. Margo

  • 11 years ago

    Margo-I got the same response via frontier e-mail, the only way I can reach her is through GW.

    Shirley

  • 11 years ago

    Sorry I missed the contest.

    P.S. Shirley, I sent you an email. Please let me know if you got it. Thanks.

  • 11 years ago

    Christine so glad you like what I chose for you. I plan to go back to the little shop where I bought the wheelbarrow and turtle to get me one. I have the fairy already.

    I was so excited yesterday I found the perfect fairy container and it is just the size I wanted. I had quit looking because I did not think I was going to find one and BINGO found it. Can't wait to enter my Fairy Garden in our County Fair this year.


    Shirley

  • 11 years ago

    Sheri-I did not receive your e-mail...can you send it again.

  • 11 years ago

    Jeanne, thank you. I will watch for it. I'm working on Faye's, a little hung up on the fairy part. Mary E.

    Hi everyone.

  • 11 years ago

    Thanks for posting Rita, welcome to OBF. I just checked tracking and it says your package is in route to you from the main post office where my town sends to. I live in Northwest Ohio but our packages go up to Michigan first. Anyway, I hope it gets delivered tomorrow.

    Annie I received your e-mail. Glad you received the prizes and valentine gift.

    Love all the fairy packages.

    Rita I received your box today and loved it all.

    The post office is so rough on packages the cute little fairy arrived broken along with

    the heart box. Rita you sent so much, two boxes of candy (Yum), valentine card, two precious bear valentine figurines, angel figurine, valentine pencil-pencil sharpener-eraser and note pad. Thank you so much.

    Sheri-Sorry to read your Birthday gift was missing from the card...I found some black sharpie retractable markers and included one for plant labeling. If I find them again I will send you another. Melinda did receive hers so that one was still intact.

    Here is the message I received from Melinda via facebook.

    Dear Shirley, Thank you so much for the beautiful card and new marker pen! So needed that! I am trying to get on the new GW and have tried for days! Don't know if it is my computer or what, but can't sign it, can't connect with FB or anything. I may have to make a new Yahoo account and everything to make a new sign in, not sure. But it is extremely frustrating! Could you please say Thank you to all the ladies

    Since there seems to be two threads going on here with this swap. I am going to repost what I posted on the other thread. I am wondering if these threads have a limit like they did with the original Gardenweb. I am sorry to hear thought that some of our members are having difficulty getting on to Houzz. I hope we don't lose them.

    Happy Valentine's day everyone. It is going to be a rough weekend here. Our highest temp is 25 and it is right now. The temps are going to go down starting around noon and tonight is a -10 with the high of -1 tomorrow. Overnight Sunday is -14. I have a 5k at ten this morning and I can't believe we are actually going through with it. LOL I wouldn't if it was any colder than it is. Since it is currently our highest temp, I can say it is actually warmer so that makes it seem good. If my friends were to call and say they weren't going, lets just say I wouldn't disappointed. It is probably a case where no one wants to admit defeat. I hope everyone has a great day. Rita, let us know if your package arrives today. Margo

  • 11 years ago

    Good Morning Sweet OBF Ladies....Hope everyone has a fantastic Valentine's Day.

    Margo-The cold has also reached the South....Brrrrrr Always colder where you are. I sure hope the weather changes for the warmer by next week-end. We always rent cabins in Pigeon Forge, Tn. for Valentines Day for our family. This week-end was booked so I took the next week-end and sure glad now that it was booked. I don't know how many members are having trouble with this new system and don't know how to help.
