    Debbya

    anyone want to take one of these-even if it isnt your birthday post here and send me your info-info i need is above
    sue suggest to write everyone birthday and emaail all birthdays and address all at once -in case i get sick or something happens which is a great idea.
    first bday will be may-
    I will post first week of may things i like.you dont have to get any of those just make a wonderful birthday box-sent priorty dc has to go here.
    this is how this works there are 12 months in a year if you take away your month you have to send a box every month for 11 months.then on your bday you get 11 boxes.
    and you can not back out once you get yours.you have to commit to all 11 months.minus yours.Anyone wanting months above sign up here and sent me all your info so we can get ball rolling thanks rosie

    Rosy
    You Might Like to add that anyone not sending a box will not recieve a box .

    & to those who recieve a box & then drop out should also have to send a box to those who sent to them.

    fair is fair

    so you have
    feb, mar, april , aug, & oct open
    you can find a few more players :))
    have a great weekend all .

    Kelly wanted to be removed -because May was first month for b-day rr to start and i was one hosting and i went first.
    I need to know who is in on this RR.and who wants to stay in-I am sorry I started this late I was sick for 2 months with flu and virus and I am doing good now.
    We need commited people.I do know i am late starting this.so I will give 1 exta week for sending.Please let me know by email if you want in and commit to this RR thanks rosie email me back thank-you! and please let me know if you got information for May.

  • kellyinflorida
    17 years ago

    Hi Rosie,
    I didn't want to "put you out there" so I emailed you in private. I think the idea of this RR is a great one, The only issue that I have is that the host (you) will be the first to collect 11 boxes. That doesn't leave much incentive to keep this going for an entire year.
    I hope you understand and there's no ill feelings.

    Good luck with the RR, Hope you you enjoy your gifts and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    Rosie,
    You sent me a email with this months b-day persons address. I emailed you but you did not reply??? I thought that I was not in this birthday robin. I need to know if I am or not! Please reply.

  • fivemeows
    17 years ago

    Well I received a email saying my month was not availble, so I was not in this round robin. Now you keep emailing me that I might be. Do to the mix ups going on I think I will NOT be in this. I don't think I am anyways.But you have emailed me twice this week.So count me out in case you think I am in it..

  • Debra Andruska

    Rosie,
    I received your address by email, and just wanted to double check on it. I noticed that your address has no numbers, is that the correct address?

  • Debra Andruska
    17 years ago

    Rosie,
    I hope you had a Happy Birthday.. ~May 16~
    Here's your cake, LOL!

    My package is going out today. I'm running late, sorry.
    We have had 2 weeks of solid rain, so I've been trying to fit in yard work every chance I get (in between storms). I planted the rest of my garden the other day while it was raining!

    I'll post the delivery confirmation later, it's in my car.
    I hope you received LOTS of packages yesterday!

    Hmmm.. Is the Birthday robin still going? Or did it end up getting canceled? I would like to know so I can get my box ready for Jan's June birthday. I also need her address. PLMK... What ever was decided.

    PlantladyJan----- for june can you email me your addy so i can get your box sent out.. thanks erica

    i think we can still keep going. i hope...
    if we close this rr, maybe we can send a box to the remaying members(we can divide up who is left and send to someone or two). so no one thinks they wasted their time on us.. what do you guys think?

  • Debra Andruska

    Hi Erica,
    The robin seems to be over....

    Plant lady jan dropped out a while ago
    I did last box erica's ty erica
    so i got a total 3 packages.so only people in are debbya,sueg,erica
    we can do one of 3 things send 3 boxes to the people that have sent or keep this going hoping others will join please let me know what you would like to do.rosie

  • Debra Andruska
    17 years ago

    My suggestion would be to send the remaining 2 boxes out and end it for now. The robin doesn't seem to be going so well. If everyone agrees, I need Sue and Erica's address. And will work on the two boxes next week and mail them out asap.

    What do you guys think?

    Deb

  • Debra Andruska
    17 years ago

    Giving this a little bump!

  • efrosty1
    17 years ago

    i'm in, whatever you guys want to do. i'm back on my feet and working overtime. so i can send 2 more boxes. i haven't been out in my flowers beds lately, but now that i am feeling well again. it's about time to start digging. i have 2 boxes in other swaps that are going out this week, so if i get the other 2 addy's in time i can get them out too. i'm so sorry that this has turned out this way.
    deb--- do you need more soy candles.. lol erica

  • Debra Andruska
    17 years ago

    Erica,
    I'm really sorry it turned out this way too... Birthday robins are usually so much fun. I'm not quite sure what happened.

    I would LOVE more soy candles, yours are my favorite, and seem to last much longer than any soy I've purchased! I'll be happy with ANY scent. I went through all of them already! I can't really pick one favorite, I loved them all. I have the last one burning right now, Lemon Chiffon.
    It's definately one of my favorites, smells sooo yummy!

    I'll send out the remaining 2 boxes this week. I have both Erica's and Sue's addresses (I think from the Bunny Swap).

    Talk to you later,
    Deb

  • Debra Andruska
    17 years ago

    This swap is over...

    I mailed your package Erica, I hope you received it! I sent a really neat garden tote, plus a few other items. I guess we were the only two that decided to stick it out and try to make it work. ;)
    I know you haven't been feeling well, I hope your feeling better!

    Hugs,
    Deb

    Rosie,
    Are you going to send boxes out to us in return, to end/ finalize the Birthday swap? Just wondering!
