GWJ Summer Craft Swap * Date change*

I am anxiously waiting to see if all the jars arrive in one piece. *nail bites*

My jar of yummy goodness is in one piece!

My goodies will be going out Monday or Tuesday. Apologies for tardiness... I didn't realize I was signed up for this swap until I got a lovely jar of garlic scapes in the post!

(In one piece)

Due to ongoing fine-motor issues mine aren't handmade per se, but they're... digitized by hand which is as close as I can get these days.

Tonight I tasted my first garlic scape ever, and I can't believe how much I love it -- and I expected to love it a lot! (jar arrived in one piece, thank you for the bonus cloves!). You aren't kidding about the postage though, that's steep. I hope you don't mind if I send you a gift card to defray the cost.

My packages were all sent out Wednesday. I added a book bauble -- good size for paperbacks, hope it comes in handy.

I am glad to hear people got the garlic scapes and like them. I am looking forward to getting your stuff. No rush.

I received awesome can cozies, postcard, garlic, and jar of garlic scapes!

And due to distractions of family visiting I haven't quite finished my projects yet. I did work on them today and plan to finish over the weekend to get them mailed on Monday. My cats are supervising to make sure I stay on schedule this time.

Picture no worky. Picture worky now!

I got my packages from Silly Rabbit and Bonnonon today. My husband was very excited to see the garlic scapes; we enjoyed them very much last time!

I received a very cool beaded necklace and bookmark today. Thanks SillyRabbit!

When will the next one be? I was thinking about making scarves or something..(if that's not too lame)?

I was going to start a Holiday Swap if anyone is interested. This is different from the Secret Santa.

I'm in! Last year was good, where we exchanged early January after all the actual holiday rush.

Count me in!

I'd be in for a post-holiday craft-away-the-winter-blahs sort of swap. I'll need to think about projects...

Yellek, the necklace is awesome. First thing I thought of was Skyrim. It's like something from a dwemer sphere. I love it! Thank you.

I'd be in for another craft swap too. You guys make me want to be a better crafter!

Hehe, cool. I didn't know about the Skyrim connection but QStone just showed me a few pics from the game and I see it now. Glad you like it!

Love all the crafts! Thank you all so much. I have been tardy getting to the post office as rl has been insane. Will try to get there this week.

Hey everyone,

I went down to my parcel pick up location becuase I got a notice to pick up and discovered none of your crafts have arrived. :S The only item was from kickstarter. I double checked the swap address list and I have put the correct address. Does anyone have any tracking numbers? Seems weird.

Maybe people sent it to Bonnonon? and not my real name?

Yeah, that sounds like something is wrong. I sent mine on 10/7 via First Class Parcel Post (no tracking number sadly), and when I punch in the zip code online it estimates about 3 days for delivery.

Nope, addressed it to your real name.

Something terribly wrong. I addressed mine to your real name as well and mailed it at the same time I mailed the others. Also no tracking number but I might still try calling the post office and see if they can tell me anything. I definitely used a return address.

k. I wanted to save the hassle of it getting lost crossing the border, and now it appears to have cause more of an issue. :S They said they would look into it. Hopefully they find my mail at the back of the pile or hidden away somewhere.

Seems so odd that they would lose multiple packages around the same time like that. Like you said, hopefully it's a misplaced pile of mail. Maybe you've helped quite a few people by having them look!

They usually lump all like minded mail together so that they can grab them all at once. My thought is that they might have elastic banded mine together and have misplaced it. All I need is at least one person who had a tracking number to prove that my packages have been misplaced by them. :S

No tracking number here, sorry.

I did find my postage receipt in my purse, so in case that might be helpful:

Thank you Katy! that helped. They found three, but I was expecting five. Are we still waiting on a couple people? I guess I will go pick them up, admire the awesome crafts and dermine which are still MIA and get them to check again.

Thanks everyone.

Not me; I'm just tracking this thread while waiting for the next round.

I went down and picked up the three packages. So I have the ninja turtles cup cozy with extra, the beaded necklace and the metal necklace. Know I now what is missing it might be easier to make them find it. :S I guess. Fingers crossed.
