Ship date for the latest round of item specific swaps was the 8th...how's everyone doing with that?

I'm not going to take sign ups again for a few weeks, until all are caught up and sent/recieved. I don't want them to be *too* close together, iykwim :)

How's it going gals?

I haven't sent mine out yet... :o I got one in the mail today though! sooo cool! Mine will go out monday I think. But you know? I haven't gotten all of my items from the one before this one yet... I think we should wait a little bit before the next one, maybe this one was too soon? sewing mamas are procrastinators I think.... :)

I don't even know how to say this. For the second time in 4 months, the house we're renting is being sold. I don't think I'm going to be able to complete my swaps. If you've sent to me and I've recieved it, or if you've sent to me and I haven't...I will complete those. I honestly feel like I'm drowning and can't breathe. The last move sapped all our savings because it was on their lovely 20 days notice out here. I feel horrid that I can't complete everything but I just truly can't. I apologize and fully expect to be put on the restriction because my swaps should have been completed by now. My hubby just got home from a 6 month deployment on Tuesday and we're finding all this out today. I truly thought I'd have today to sew and complete everything and only be slightly late. :( I am very, very sorry.

My packages to Heather and Hastings will go out tomorrow. And YES, my name is GINA and I'm a SEWING Procrastinator. LOL. Actually, I'm a procrastinator in all the AREAS of my life, so really, this is NOTHING new. LOL.

Thanks for letting me be part of this swap. Looking forward to others in the future.

Awwww Lisa :( You poor thing :( I'm so sorry!! Life sure does get in the way sometimes, doesn't it. With things like that happening, you surely don't need any added pressure. Why don't you just go ahead, PM all the mamas you are involved in swaps with, in case they don't see this post, so that you are hopefully able to catch them before they ship to you. We've all had things come from way out in left field, mama, so take care of your family, enjoy having hubby there with you, and try to find some peace there at home. When things settle, and you are in a place to swap again, we'll still be here. There won't be any reason to restrict you as long as you make good on all the swaps you have recieved. (Which is *not* any of mine, rofl, since I haven't mailed your bag or apron because the bag is still half finished here ROFL)...no worries about our trades, I'll still be here later, if you want to finish them up, if not, no pressure :D Just please go ahead and PM the mamas you should...work things out with them, and hopefully everyone will be happy :D

((((((((((((((((((((((((((Hugs to you)))))))))))))))))))))))))

just saw this thread. i was wondering who has gotten the stuff i shipped, so i came to peek.

lisa, don't worry, just do what you can. and thank you so much for keeping me posted.

did anyone get the items from me? i am stalking my mailman everyday LOL

I am a rotten swapper and haven't gotten anything shipped. I did however get an absolutely beautiful gnome dress for Lorelei from Heather yesterday. She must have really liked it too. My little girl who normally has to be dressed and redressed 6 or 7 times (at which point I just give up and let her be nakey) stayed dressed all day. :) thank you so much Heather.

i am so glad!! sorry i missed it, i have been kinda spacey about visiting the main forum lately.

just saw the post. i am soooooooooooooo glad you like em!! now i can't wait to see a pic.

Heather... Hastings... Did either of you get your packages from me? I usually send out everything with a DC and I didn't this time, so now I'm worried. Hope it arrives(ed) safely and that you like them.

Thanks!

I did get the apron and napkins yesterday. The apron is a great fit-- thank you so much! Still haven't sent your apron and purse out yet, we had a major financial black hole happen this month and haven't had a dime to spare. I'm waiting on a check from one of my wholesale accounts that was supposed to be here 3 weeks ago. I am soooo sorry.. I can take pics though if that'd help!
