UPDATE: Unwanted Swap Items..Box #1

Debra Andruska
17 years ago

I thought it would be easier to track (keep up with) if each group from the "Unwanted Swap Items" box had it's own thread.

This should be sooo much fun! Get all your swap items ready!

Please post when the box arrives, and when it goes out!

Thanks,

Deb

Box one went out the other day-

The list for box #1..

Nancy (Cedarnest) will receive the box first and then choose who receives it next (to keep postage costs reasonable, this is not a flat rate box).

Deanie P.

    Maryanne,
    It's best this way.. I would never want anyone mad at me for NOT wanting an item. I really do appreciate everything that is sent to me. Just sometimes (and come on, everyone admit it) you don't need three or four of the same item. Or you just have no use for an item.

    If we named each and every item in the box... I have a feeling for my birthday (in December) everyone would send me this message in an email! ;)

    I don't want anyone to be mad at me! I should of mentioned 'Secret/Unwanted Swap items'..maybe more would of signed up.

    deb, i hear ya. i was kind of making a joke. i know i have a few things that will go in. just waiting to see if by the time it gets to me, if MY stuff is in there -- that's what makes me laugh.

    i don't think any of us that signed up would feel bad, really. afterall, we all signed up knowing what the boxes are all about.

    Awww, don't feel bad. I've been in a round robin where some of the items I sent my partner were sent to HER partner in the same month, lol. I also had a partner who sent me all my seeds back in her return box - ha ha ha!!!

    Julie, that is tooo funny!

    Deb & Maryanne, I'm sooo sorry, I really was making a joke.

    We all appreciate what we receive in our boxes, and I certainly didn't mean to suggest anything different. You girls will have a great swap!

    And I made that chicken JUST for that post! LOL

    Have fun! Will keep checking in... I will definitely be getting in on Decembers.

    hey sas, i was kidding as well. guess it's difficult to hear the inflection of type. i think this is a great idea. i guess i should have kept my humor to myself.

    Marianne,
    Don't ever change (Hugs)..we love you the way you are! You always make me laugh!

    Julie,
    I know how you feel, LOL. I had seeds come back to me too (several months later) in a swap box. I think the person forgot that I sent them originally.

    Carol,
    I checked the DC# and it's on the way to you...hopefully today! When you type in the DC#, don't type in the dashes or it up as an invalid item.

    I hope you find LOTS of neat items in the box! It's already made many stops!
