Trash to Treasure Round Robin #2

EEEKKK! I forgot the password and deleted the PM.

Aww, Invisible!!! :P Not to fear, Jesse is here.

-Jesse

I lied! I joined the second one. I had to after looking at my big box of "get rid of" stuff. I know that i could probably fill the box all on its own several times over!

Haha we just need one more person... anyone know of someone who would be interested?

-Jesse

WOAH we have 10! YES!

I assigned partners. Now. This is how it will work.

DO NOT SEND ANYTHING until you receive the box. I will send it to the partner I was assigned. When she receives it, she will send it to her partner. When her partner receives it, she will send it to HER partner. In the end, it will end up back with me.

In case you are wondering what the whole list is, or where you fit on the list, here is the entire list. I send to the person underneath me, and she sends to the person under her, and etc.:

1. Me
2. Nicole Introvert
3. Timanna
4. Heidec
5. VJP
6. Danielle F
7. FunToScrap
8. Saline
9. Phoenyx
10. Invisible

And Invisible sends back to me!

Make sure to send your package with delivery confirmation, and make sure to rate your partner when you receive. Thanks so much to everyone for joining this swap! The box should be going out next week when I get paid. XP

-Jesse

Yay! i am second on this one and further down on the other! This is perfect!

Holy Cow Candy Star!!! I took way too long making up my mind! But I'm so glad for you that your Round Robins have really taken off!!

Crud, I missed the message about this and missed out on the 2nd box. Please let me know if we go for a 3rd.

I'll be making up a 3rd box, but it won't be going out until like... the end of July... I'd really like for someone else to host the 3rd box so I can cut back on some postage. :) Then I'll be able to start up the 4th box in like August or so. :)

I don't really know when this box will be going out... I jsut got paid and it's a LOT lower than was expected... so I'm giong to see if, after mailing my other swaps, there is enough money to send this one. You guys don't mind waiting a little longer, do you? I'll try to get it out as soon as possible!!

-Jesse

So is box #2 out and about? I would be happy to assist with Box #3...just pm me and let me know what I can do to help.

Box #2 will be on its way to Nicole tomorrow. :)

-Jesse

Dood... I forgot to post this as sent. HA! I'm a dork.

OKAY! It's on the way to Nicole. Here's the confirmation number thing:

0306 0320 0003 3877 0400

Yay hooray!

-Jess

Nicole!!!! Go pick up your box!!!!

Label/Receipt Number: 0306 0320 0003 3877 0400

Status: Notice Left

We attempted to deliver your item at 1:00 PM on July 2, 2007 in RICHMOND, VA 23235 and a notice was left. It can be redelivered or picked up at the Post Office. If the item is unclaimed, it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.

AAAAAAAAAH There was no freaking note in my box!!! I am going there right now before they close!!

phew! i went there and yelled at them... well not yelled.

there still was no pick up notice in my box. but the package was there.

thanks for letting me know!

Oh yeah... i took some notebooks, tiny bracelets (for my nieces), and a couple other odds and ends.

I will be re-packing and sending Monday or Tuesday at the very latest.

Timanna - the box is off to you now!

The DC# is 0479 7496 9570 0404 2195

This looks like so much fun!! Gah! How do I get in on the next one?!

Nicole Black (aka Nicole #2 haha) - Not sure when the 3rd box will be going on, but never fear - it WILL be going on, and when it is, I'll send you a message. :) Box #3 might end up being Box #1 recycled, hahaha. XP Or I might just start a whole new box... not sure what's going on, as I said before.

-Jesse

FYI: The box reached Oakland on the 11th.

What is the status on the box?

It arrived in Oakland, California, on the 11th, as Nicole Introvert said. That's where Timanna lives, so I'm assuming she's received it. :P I'll be sending her a message, but it's probably safe to assume that she's received it and is wading through the piles of stuff contained therein.

-Jesse

Hey guys, I'm in another RR swap

http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/3638

There, she's had the first box for 3 weeks.

I'm just a little worried, since I've noticed both RR boxes are stuck at Timanna =/

Okay...I took care of another rr that got stuck at Urban Exotic forever. This time I'm flying to Oakland to get the damn box!! How can people do this?????? GRRRRRR!!!!!!
Jesse - Let me know if I should start another box. I have plenty of stuff to do it....THEN I will catch a flight to Cali!!!! =/

Ahg... it makes me really mad too because the reason I didn't want this to be a public swap was so I could hand-select the people who joined. I read their profiles in detail and only picked people who got good ratings and stars from people I trusted, and who I talked with before or had seen around and knew I could trust... and yet TWO out of the 18 people, so far, have been letting me down. That REALLY dissapoints me. It wasn't like I picked these people at random, there was a lot of thought taht went into it. Ahg!

-vent... vent...-

I'd hate to ask you to restart another box, especially since I am the hostess and I feel like I'm not doing a great job, haha...

I sent her an email, and I'm gonna wait just a little longer before working on putting together another box... maybe I just like to give people the benefit of a doubt a little too much, but I'd hate to think that two flakers can happen in two different swaps at the same time. :(

But I think I might be able to pull off another box. I really really really don't want you to have to do it again.

-Jesse

Jesse - There is just no way to know when or what will cause a person to suddenly "flake". I honestly don't mind helping out...especially since you have done a great job of getting these started. I will wait to hear from you. Just let me know if I should start "gathering" the goodies! Vicki

I apologize for the delay. The box had $8.70 in postage due when I got it because the wrong kind of box was used. I'm still trying to figure it out, I will probably post the DC Monday.

WAHOOO!! I am so happy you weren't a flake afterall!! Yippee!! Sorry to hear about the postage issue. We all need to adhere to the rules...use a USPS priority FLAT RATE box only. The cost is $8.95 and that includes DC if you do the label online and....you can stuff it full.

Eek! Postage due? That's strange. sorry you had to deal with that!! I'm glad to see the box in motion again. Woo! ^.^

Also glad we didn't jump the gun and send off another box, hahahaha.

-Jesse

I did use the same oblong type flat rate box as was sent to me in.

Someone in the post office made a mistake somewhere.

i swear i am not that inept in using the USPS

Yeah, the priority rate box is very similar to the flat rate box. Anyway! The DC is 0305 2710 0003 0067 5676. Hope you enjoy it!

The flat rate priority box ... IS ... the flat rate box. THere are priority boxes that are not flat rate... but I'm glad things are going on smoothly.

Heidec, let us know when you receive!!!

-Jesse

Oh! As I realize that she didn't post it on the swap board, just told me...

She is currently in the process of moving (it says on her profile from the 22nd to the 29th). She let me know that when it arrives, she will deal with it first thing after getting settled, so she has probably already received it but is just dealing with the stress of moving.

-Jesse

I will go to the Post office this afternoon, I just got the message when I logged on this morning! Thanks for letting me know it was there Candy Star!

I got the box today, I will post what I am taking out and should be able to send the box out to Vicki on Monday. I have been saving stuff for this.

Yippeee!! I have a bunch of stuff to put in there too.

Hi Vicki! It's on the way! DC#0306 0620 0001 3428 7522

Can't wait!!!

Wahooooo!!!! I can't wait to see what's in the box. HeideC what did you take out?

Is there an address list in the box or does Danielle need to PM with her addy?

ok..I got the box and since I work from home...I have already gone through it. One piece of advice: if you send breakables please wrap them properly. There were several broken items in the box that I have to discard because they are completely unuseable. Here is what I took: mini tea set, rubber duck, and matchbox car for my granddaughter. Two packs of seeds, poodle notecards and a tiny fairy. I am ready to resend the box, but I need Danielle's addy. CandyStar if you will send me an address list I will include it in the box.

Okay...I found Danielle's addy because she is my swap partner for this swap. I will be back with a DC....

Here is the DC #0103 8555 7491 1634 5702 It is scheduled for pick up by my postal person tomorrow.

Yay! Sorry I kinda vanished for a while there... been working a lot. Glad everything is going smoothly, and that you found some things you liked. :D

-Jesse

Hey, how do I get in on the fun? It's too late for this one and the first one, but if there's going to be another I'd love in. :)

Laura

There might be a third one... I can't host it 'til like September or October when I'm settled in college and know if I can handle the responsibility of hosting a swap... but if anyone else would like to host #3, they can feel free to :D

-Jesse

Ok it's Saturday and I have had 2 glasses of wine and I am feeling a bit tipsy. Yep...I'm a cheap date!!! Having said that...I would hosted #3, but quite frankly I didn't feel that I found $9.60 worth of items in the box of the one did. I tried to remedy that by putting a few higher dollar volume items in...like a watch. But anyway, I would have done box #3 if I had felt the first 2 were worth it. Sorry....

I am interested in maybe getting in on a round #3. Please let me know if one is started!

Sorry I forgot to post what I took out. A kids book called "Super completely and totally the messiest", A zine called "applicant", a small fairy charm, a paper magnet, and a string of holiday lights.

I took out a few pens, the cute bunny mittens, the soap dish... and a few other thingies,I will mail out very soon... COULD SOMEONE GIVE ME FUN 2 SCRAP address???

nevermind I have her address!

Ok..it's been 4 days. Danielle do you have a DC #? Fun 2 Scrap have you received??

Yay somebody wanted my bunny mittens!! Sorry I didn't send the address... ahg I've been totally distracted recently. If I ever dissapear and you need me like that, feel free to send me a swap-bot pm, 'cause I usually at least manage to skim that every night for things that look urgent.

-Jesse (bad host)

Any word on where the box is?

It looks like Trash to Treasure 1 & 2 are both with DanielleF....may we have an update, pleeeeeeease.

Fun2Scrap has not received from Danielle... so possibly Danielle has not sent? She didn't post a DC... I sent her a message, I'm waiting to hear back fom her

-Jesse

Here you go! Sorry! Just back from a mini vaca! Fun to scrap keep an eye out! DC # 0307 0020 0000 7326 5379

Wahooo!! Okay..this box was delivered at 1:22 pm on Saturday 8/18 in Zimmerman, MN.

Hip hip hooray!!! FuntoScrap, let us know when you send! Make sure to post the DC

-Jesse

Okay..it's been 6 days...do we know where the box is?

I am just not cut out to do round robins...am I.

Ok, ok .. it was rehtorical!!

I think FuntoScrap is "taking a break"

Okay, where is the box???

The box was sent, I'll get the DC tomorrow. I had the box picked up here at home and the carrier didn't have the forms to fill out. She said she'd have the clerk fill it out for me. It was sent on to Saline. It was sent Priority as required so she should have it Saturday. I put TONS of stuff in it. Warmly, Chy

WOW! Thank you.

I wonder how much of it will be in there when I get the box.

:D

One more person to go through.. I am so excited..

-Phoenyx

Yay! Sorry I've been sort of absent.

I'm moving the send-by date because obviously it can't be sent by September 5th. XD

This box is almost to its end! :D Can't wait to see it when it's finished!

-Jesse

Can we get an update on the box.. she never posted the DC#

My postal person didn't get back to me with the DC number. ARGH! I know it got there though because I sent it through my Stamps.com account. Also I am in another craft supply box swap and she got hers. Saline's last log-in date was Sept. 1, I am hoping she will check in soon and let us know the status. I know you all are waiting, waiting, waiting and eager to get your turn. I am sorry there have been so many snags and bumps in this swap and that I was a part of the delay. It was a great idea. Warmly, Chy

Hello all! I am so sorry for the delay, the box arrived right between my family trip and school starting, so things have been a bit hectic! The box is all packed and ready to be sent tomorrow! Thank you all for your patience.

Took out a magazine, soap, stickers and coaster among other things. =)

Dc # 0483 5689 8370 4606 5307

UGH!!! It doesn't update...

Box is here..
Not much to write home about.. LOL
I have to go to my mom's house for the weekend.

I will post the box upon my return.

Thank you.

-Phoenyx

Hey there... do we have a DC number yet? :)

-Jesse

Phoenyx says she will be sending on the 1st.

So what is the DC number?

I got the box today. I took nothing and will be mailing it on tomorrow. It seems to be a waste for 9 bucks to me.

I'm sorry this was the wrong box...the comment above should be for the other round robin.

I have not gotten the box from Phoenyx...sorry for the mistake.

Well, if it was sent out on the first..like we were told...it got lost...because it hasn't gotten here. Is there a DC#

Phoenyx forgot to send it before she went away for a week. She returned on 10/7 and pm'd me that she would send it by this Friday (tomorrow).......I was hoping that she would post here and let everyone know.

Ha!

Ok Phoenyx, it's been a month since you got the box. PLEASE get it in the mail....
Thanks!!!

Phoenyx PMed me today and said that the box did not go out on the 12th...she doesn't know when she is sending it.

Ahg these two swaps did nooot go well, I'm really dissapointed in them. No one seems to be liking anything that they're getting and they're being really late in sending (I'm not commenting on any one person but about everything in general).. it makes me sad. :(

I've been talking with Phoenyx and she said that she will be getting it out soon... dunno when soon is though

-Jesse

I got the box today...took nothing from it...here is the DC# 0307 1790 0001 6223 3417

It should be there Sat. or Mon.

Well, at least we can all do our ratings and archive this swap now.

Well... it's over. Man this swap pretty much sucked. :( I found quite a few things I liked out of the box at the end but maybe I'm just weird. I'm so sorry it was such a hassle for everyone. :(

-Jesse
