Post here when you send or receive a Spring Fling package

Please post here when you send or receive a 2011 Spring Fling package.

As you see below, azcactusflower is right on top of things. She's the first to send out a package.

Posted by azcactusflower ....

"Since no one else has posted, I am guessing my pkg or pkgs were the first to be sent. I sent them off today. I say pkgs BECAUSE I could not get everything into 1 lrg box so I packed 2 smaller boxes with everything. It was not that much more expensive. They are on the way to the land of 10,00 lakes, the state whose name in native american language means "water that reflects the sky". Hope my recipient enjoys and likes the things I choose to send her.

It was fun trying to find things I thought would please her.

She will probably post as soon as she receives them. What fun doing Spring Fling has been. I am ready for the next thing to participate in. What will it be?????????

    Still working on my package. Actually I'm waiting for the post office to drop off the boxes I ordered. No wonder they are loosing money, it has been 5 days and the boxes are still not here................:( I did however pick up a few great things to put in the SF box and the JG box when it gets here. :)

    Hi guys!!
    My SF box will be in the mail on Mon. Went to PO on Sat. and the darn thing was closed, soooo Mon. it is. I see all the wonderful things in those received boxes and I hope my box will be enjoyed as well. Couldn't write much of a note because I hurt my index finger on my right hand and boy has it hurt for days.
    Marlene I sent my recipient some of the same things you did LOL, Great mind think alike.

    Hugs, Carmen

    I have all my "junk" together and my mission is to get it all into one box. I'm going to have to pack it "vewy vewy cawefully." (A quote from Elmer Fudd? I have no idea why he popped into my head!) Anyway my package will soon be headed to a state thas has the bluebird as it's official bird.

    No fooling!

    I'm off to the post office to mail my SF package to a State with a name that roughly translates from Native American folklore meaning "Father of Waters." The mockingbird is the State bird.

    Hope my recipient feels strong............I could hardly believe when I got that box to the PO and it weighed in at 25 pounds. I promise I didn't ship cement.....but I am wondering WHAT was so heavy. Anyway it is headed to the state of the Smokey Mountains and should arrive in 7 - 10 days.

    Old Crafty .... 25 lbs!!! That must be a record. I can't wait to see what was in the box that went to the Smokey Mountains state.

    It's here, It's Here, It's here! My Spring Fling package arrived and I am so excited. Hubby is home from school today so he gets to explore all my treasures with me.........Holy cow it weights 25 lbs. Be back when I get all my treasures unwrapped............Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

    I received my package from DollyDee today! And what a haul it was! Thank goodness Bob was coming in the back door today since we normally use the front door while he's working on the garage so he noticed it. I would have had to smack the UPS man around if it had gotten wet. Everything came in tact. Great job packing, DollyDee! I will post pictures this weekend when I can make room somewhere to fit everything!

    I'm going to blame Bob (my DH) for not getting my box out in time. He was supposed to have taken it to the post office the last two days and forgot. I'm going to put it in front of the door so he trips on it tomorrow. I'm so crippled lately that I haven't been able to do it myself so of course it isn't my fault! he-he It will be heading for the sunny southwest tomorrow!

    My Spring Fling package is finally on its way via the US Postal Service! I apologize to my recipient for getting it out so late. Or I should say, I apologize for my Bob for forgetting to take it to the post office! One good thing about procrastinating ... I was afraid the box I was using was going to be too small so I used DollyDee's box to ship it in. Hopefully everything will arrive undamaged. I just hope the wait is worth it to my recipient!

    I can't wait to take pictures of the things that DollyDee sent me. They are fantastic!

    I sent my package Friday...a day late I'm afraid, but it should get there soon. I just wish I could remember if I put everything in it that I intended to. My memory has been so bad lately. Chemo brain, they call it. I think I included a card, but not sure. If somebody gets a package and doesn't know who it's from it might be me.

  • chelcass

    Sent my package out 12 days ago and the tracking number says it was delivered. Wondering what happened. Max can you check?

  • oldcrafty

    I got my package laurastheme! You packed some really neat things. I LOVE the little scale.....my DH uses one just like that but much bigger to weigh his fish. The bigger ones were once used to weigh cotton that had been fresh picked from the fields. Not sure what these little ones were used for. I will have to hide it or they will get off with it for their fish! The blue and green bowl was soooo pretty....and I hate to report but what WAS a lovely plate flower and is no longer quite as lovely. The big plate was in many pieces and the PVC had come off but the small plate, bowl and marble are intact so I can fix that by replaceing the plate. I think my favorite was your unique card with the adorable pic and you, mother and brothers! as well as your book. That was so special and I feel so honored that you chose to share your writings with me. I liked everything in my box and I will post pics soon, for now just wanted to let you know I am one happy recipient!!!! :))

  • luna_llena_feliz

    I am so bummed out that I can't find my camera! DollyDee sent me such awesome things that I'd love to share with everyone. I will keep looking for it. I have the feeling it is in Bob's storage locker. I'll have to send him over there to look for it.

    Laurastheme, I have a similar problem but I can't blame it on chemo! Let's hope the chemo is knocking out those cancer cells along with those memories.

    Crafty - I'm happy that you received the package but SO bummed out about the flower. I thought I had it well packed. What did those USPS people do? Kick it and jump up and down on it?

    WooHoooo!! I received my spring fling package today from kelly_oh. What a haul. Wind chimes, a package of earrings for mosaics, ceramic bees, a frog, a mushroom for me to put together (long story), a beautiful triangular glass plate with a 'stem' attached, a yellow glass vase and a purple and milk glass totem stake. I'll try to get pics posted tomorrow. Thank you Kelly.
