I still haven't received mine, but i'm guessing I have the busiest Pwebber of them all : )

Still nothing here, either. I came home to a package yesterday and got SO EXCITED but it was just from my mom. I felt so bad about being disappointed in a package from my mother!

I'm so sorry, Fred! I have you... and I've made your present... I just keep telling myself that I'm going to make these lime cookies to go with it and I keep not doing it.

I got the cookies! Sorry, life was crazy and insane and I forgot to post about it at the time, but the snickerdoodles and home-made oreos were pretty spectacular

I had her make some to take with me when I went to see my family. My mom had to hide them or else they would have been gone the first day.

A most necessary precaution!

It's ok!!! See I was right, I do have one of the busiest Pwebber

It's fun knowing I still have something coming!

Just wondering what the status is with this! I'm not in any rush of course, though

Young Val · Postby **Young Val** » Thu Feb 24, 2011 2:09 pm

Still no gift.

I know better than anyone that life can totally get in the way all the time. I am having awful thoughts about it getting lost in the mail though, or being stolen by someone else in my apartment complex (although other than one dude who used to steal our newspaper and has since moved out, our neighbors are pretty nice).

If you're still working on it, I totally understand. In that case could you just make an anonymous post and let me know so that I can put my over active imagination to rest? I keep giving my neighbors the stink eye and I feel bad about it!

Please, if you haven't sent out your gift, would you please provide an update? The people waiting provided some nice gifts and I want them to get something nice, too!

Confessions · Postby **Confessions** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:32 am

Kelly, I'm pretty sure it's been lost in the mail. I'll make you a new one.

powerfulcheese04 · Postby **powerfulcheese04** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:56 am

I sent mine and it came back to me... so I will double check the address and re-send it later this week or next week. So sorry!

steph · Postby **steph** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 11:33 am

Thank you for the updates, ladies.

Confessions, how long ago did you send it out? Have you filed a claim with the post office?

Kirsten, let me know if you need me to double check the address with your person.

powerfulcheese04 · Postby **powerfulcheese04** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 1:34 pm

I figured out what happened- I was mailing another package to Conneticut that day and I put the Conneticut zipcode on both packages. The one that was ACTUALLY supposed to go there got through just fine and the other came back.

steph · Postby **steph** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:08 pm

Glad you figured it out. And I'm sorry I look like an idiot calling you the wrong name. I blame lack of sleep and stress. I know who you are, I promise!!!!!!!!!

steph · Postby **steph** » Mon Apr 11, 2011 8:33 pm

There are still some of our wonderful friends who have not received gifts. If you are not able to get yours done and mailed, just pm me privately. I have a few people who are willing to do a 2nd one to send to these ladies, if need be. There will be no hard feelings, I promise! I just want everyone who provided a gift to be able to receive one. Besides, I'd like to organize round 2 soon, but I don't want to do that until round 1 is wrapped up. Thanks!

steph · Postby **steph** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 12:32 pm

So, I looked back through the thread and I didn't see posts from these people as having received their gifts:

Kelly
Helen
Fred
Claire
Kirsten

Is this accurate?

Those of you who have these names, I am setting a new deadline of the end of this month! If you can't get yours mailed out by then, no hard feelings, but please let me know! Everyone who worked hard on a gift deserves to receive one. I've had a volunteer in the past offer to do an extra, if needed. If anyone else would be able to volunteer to do an extra, PM me and let me know and I'll give you another name when I know who needs one.

I'd really like to get this wrapped up so we can do another round in September or so! For the next round, if it's too busy and stressful of a time, don't worry, we'll do it again and you can participate next time!

steph · Postby **steph** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 4:05 am

I send PMs to those of you I need verification from. Please check your PMs and get back to me ASAP! Thanks!!

P.S. I'll say it again, I want NO stressing over this and there are NO hard feelings if you can't finish up. Just let me know! Thanks!!!

Claire · Postby **Claire** » Tue Aug 09, 2011 1:24 pm

Got it!! Thank you so much! I will post pictures later

VelvetElvis · Postby **VelvetElvis** » Tue Aug 09, 2011 5:08 pm

Which reminds me, the package was returned again yesterday. I forgot to go to the post office today, but I'll write it on the whiteboard to do on Monday.

Young Val · Postby **Young Val** » Wed Aug 17, 2011 2:27 pm

I GOT A PACKAGE TODAY!

I got some amazing-looking homemade chicken noodle soup from Helen! I haven't tasted it yet; I'm saving it for some chilly weather (so, like, next month) where it can work it's magic to the fullest extent. I'll report back when I try it. I'm sure it looks as good as it tastes! Thank you so, so much!

VelvetElvis · Postby **VelvetElvis** » Wed Aug 17, 2011 3:10 pm

Eat it now, I have 12 more jars if you want more!

Young Val · Postby **Young Val** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 12:59 pm

We ate one of the jars of soup last night! It was super, super delicious. Sadly, we broke into it becuase David and I are both getting sick. But what better remedy than homemade chicken noodle soup?

VelvetElvis · Postby **VelvetElvis** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 8:35 pm

Hooray for soup!!! Do we need EMERGENCY SOUP?!

Confessions · Postby **Confessions** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 1:20 pm

I want to know if my gift arrived yet! I mailed it weeks ago, and I don't want it to get messed up again! Pleeeeease arrive, gift!

VelvetElvis · Postby **VelvetElvis** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 2:22 pm

If the gift to which you are referring was intended for me, then yes, it did, and I even wrote a post about wearing some lovely jewelry. I have not taken photos yet, because I have not used the rest of it.

Confessions · Postby **Confessions** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 2:32 pm

I missed the post! Sorry!! Where is it? And I'm glad it came, because I was starting to worry about it spoiling.

steph · Postby **steph** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 4:46 pm

I wanna see pictures, too!!
