Stashmas: presents are travelling!

[kell]

Anyone on my list in my previous post who doesn't respond inthis thread to say they definitely haven't received will be deemed to have received it and just not come on to say so, hence my requirement that everyone please confirm. I'd hate anyone to not have a stashmas gift after participating, but participation involves keeping each other informed...

[Kyla]

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten mine either

Thanks,
Kyla

1. Trylla (you've already confirmed, so you don't need to reply)
2. Borotracey
3. Dominique66 – offline since Nov
4. Kimberlina
5. Kyla – Confirmed not arrived
6. Valb58 – Confirmed not arrived
7. XandraS – Confirmed not arrived

Just waiting for Borotracey and Kimberlina to confirm now...

I'll give it till Sunday night and then start arranging things...

[Rose]

I did a quick check and

Borotracey has not checked in since Dec 25th
Kimberlina has checked in on the 16th of Jan

[Rose]

Do we know what is happening with this exchange?????

[dwitt]

I was wondering the same thing

[Nachstenliebe]

I'm willing to put together another set for those who didn't get one...

I pm'd Kell (as she was one of the organisers) sometime back and offered to send a stashmas gift out to someone and she was going to get back to me when she knew who hadn't received anything, perhaps we ought to ask Kell otherwise it could get confusing if we try to arrange it amongst ourselves where are you Kell

[kell]

I'm so sorry I haven't come back t othis yet, guys - I've been absolutely snowed under lately - life has completely and utterly got in the way. I swear, however, that end of this month I will get everything sorted and pair everyone up.

If anyone would like to resend to their original recipient that hasn't received, plese get in touch with me asap. I have some people who are happy to send, but would like to give originals first dibs if they want to.

Once again, I can only apologise profusely for the delay and faithfully promise that I'm gettig on top of things and will have it sorted very soon.

[minij]

No worries Kell, real life can be a pain sometimes It was good of you to be one of the organisers

[XandraS]

Don't stress about it Kell, we all know RL takes precedence

[Kyla]

No problems Kell!

If it wasn't for real life, I'd stitch all day long! Of course, real life does pay for my stitching....

Thanks for organizing everything!

[kell]

OK, 4 people confirmed here that they hadn't received their Stashmas gift and 3 didn't, so the folks who didn't reply will be left off this list and assumed that they did get their gift and just forgot to come back and tell us.

Several people have very kindsly offered to buy replacement gifts and for that I want to say a HUGE thank you - you are angels and deserve all kinds of wonderful things. I'm sure karma will remember and heap loads of good stuff on you in return!

Anyway, in order to get the replacements sent out as swiftly as possible, I'm just going to post the senders and recipients here. I know that removes the element of surprise, but I think it's far quicker and easier if the sender contacts their recipient directly for their address and I'm sure that for expediency's sake, nobody will mind too much at this late stage in the game.

So, without further ado, here is the short list for replacement gifts:

Koko will send to Kyla
Talenaya will send to Trylla
Minij will send to Valb58
Nachstenliebe will send to XandraS

Thanks once again to everyone who offered to send replacements and to everyone who took part. Hopefully next year the postal system won't be so disrupted and things will run more smoothly - LOL!

Kell I just want to say that I think you have done a fantastic job organizing and following up with Stashmas. This year the list of participants was quit large and I think you did a super job of communicationg with all of us. Unfortunately the postal service has been our "fly in the ointment". With the size of the undertaking I think it has been very well controlled.

THANK YOU so much for all the time you have donated to make this a wonderful experience.

[kell]

I have to say that Kute Kitty did the bulk of the organising and she is most deserving of having praise heaped upon her. I realy enjoy helping with Stashmas though - this was my second year and it was great fun both times. It's lovely to be appreciated, so thank you Rose.

[Rose]

Yes you are correct KK has done a fantastic job with this as well. Both of you are great assets to the Forum and Stashmas!!!!!

[valb58]

Thank you kell and Kute Kitty for arranging this stashmas, you are both wonderful for sparing the time to do it even when mother nature threw a hissy fit. Maybe we should ask her to join in next time Thank you once again
