The Twelve Days of Christmas ~ Due December 30th

[Marie]

Here’s your tracking number:

BE50A9DF-9D7B-476A-99DE-9A7B1B003088.jpg

I do love them all!

Can not wait to see them in person!!

It is so sweet of you to give me your personal Monroy28 #3 card and make me a #2 card, so I have a complete set. Now, I hope Monriy28’s cards make it so your set will be complete. Although I would love to have both a 2 and 3 from Monroy28, please don’t go to the even more extra expense to send it. You keep it as a thank you for going above and beyond what you had to do.

I love the inches and the bookmark! The inches may be the start of a whole new collecting thing for me. And I promise you the bookmark will be used as soon as I get it!

You’re right this was a very frustrating swap. It makes me think twice about hosting a PAT anytime soon. There is nothing sadder than lost cards that someone has put their heart into. It hurts everyone.

And it was beautiful with so many of you coming together to make sure I received a set. I genuinely appreciate it. This is such a great group of people. Everyone is so kind and willing to make things good for others. I hope I can do something nice for someone soon to pass it on.

I will set up the page so I can track the progress. It will be fun to see the trail it takes to get here.

Again, thank you Marie and all who contributed to my set of cards. I am looking forward to seeing all of them in person very soon. I will let you know as soon as they arrive!!

[Marie]

Anyone else get returns yet?

[xstitcher]

Not yet. Last thing the tracker shows for mine is:

March 4, 2021
In Transit, Arriving On Time
Your package is moving within the USPS network and is on track to be delivered by the expected delivery date. It is currently in transit to the next facility.

The expected delivery date.......3-5 by 9pm.

I will let you know!

[Marie]

Maybe tomorrow!!!

[Monroy28]

i can not believe my cards never arrived...this is my 6th envelope that has gone missing in 3 mo.
As one politician said in the hearings- "i like the post office, I like the workers, i believe in the post office... it is why our country has prospered so much but i no longer trust them". I watched all 5 hours of the Postmaster Generals hearings...i will be surprised if he and the board lasts through the summer.

[Marie]

I can feel your frustration. Six sets in three months is heartbreaking! I’ve heard of people getting bills after the due date has already passed, etc... yet I’m still getting some things within 3-4 days... It makes no sense.

[xstitcher]

I tell you Monroy28, it is a curse on the midwest postal users.

No envelope today!

Apparently it is in transit and will arrive late...........

On the bright side, my husbands new drivers license came today.

[Marie]

Ugh! I was so sure it would arrive today. Grr...

Monroy28, at least your original set made it through. I wish your returns would....

[Marie]

Tracking says ‘delivered’.... did your returns arrive today MaryAnn?

[xstitcher]

No they did not!

When I look at the tracking today it still says in transit, arriving late.

It looks funny, there are no locations where it was except the 1st location where it started and it left there 3-1 at 4:32pm

[Marie]

That’s really funny… Now when I track it it says ‘in transit’ again. Yesterday it said delivered. Any chance you were not home yesterday? Maybe they marked it delivered because they had in in the delivery vehicle but were unable to leave it because you weren’t there to sign for it? You will have to sign for it. Only way I could get tracking.

[Marie]

Le ugh.....

Hopefully tomorrow!

[Haagmm]

Well, not to brag but mine finally arrived yesterday!!
Marie - you sent back the canceled postage stamps on my original envelope. I will admit, I have a thing for postage stamps and look forward to 'harvesting' them off of envelopes when I host a swap. Thank you for hosting such a fun and creative swap!!

[Marie]

Melissa, I’m so tickled that your returns have finally arrived! A month and a week to get from Maryland to Kansas! Wow! That’s slooooooow!! But at least they are there. This has definitely been the slowest traveling swap I think I’ve ever mailed out.

The way it looks right now MaryAnn is going to have her ‘we love you’ set before half the people who’s returns went out at the end of swap receive their’s. Can you imagine?

I’m so glad you were tickled about the stamps! I frequently cut the users envelope to be a support for their returns and to protect/pad the cards from bending. I’m glad the stamps were intact for you since that’s something you like. Do you think that’s an idea I could routinely do for my players? I’m always looking for ways to ensure a fun experience.

I was here most of the day. Think I left about 5:30 for 30 minutes or so.

Any time I have not been here to sign for something I get a notice in the mailbox to go to the post office to sign for it the next day.

Nothing like that has been left either.

Hopefully something today. I will let you know as soon as I get mail. That could be anytime between now and 7pm to tonight, though.

[xstitcher]

Mail came........

I was home.

No cards, no knock on the door no note to go to the post office for siggy needed on anything.

[Marie]

Why? Why? Why? I paid extra to ensure everything went smoothly. I just don’t get it.

[Monroy28]

None at this address too...gggrrrrr post office

[Marie]

Still 7 sets out counting MaryAnn... and I mailed Feb 1. Monroy28, your second cards for MaryAnn haven’t arrived here either.
