Hi all! Can everyone keep an eye out for my packet from JessabelleJHL? It seems to have decided to take the scenic route! Thanks!

I'm sorry Feebean,

I put all envelopes in a bin alphabetically so I'm going to guess that it's in the one previous or after you alphabetically.

I'll look through my seed bins just in case because I had them out packing extras BUT not the return envelopes at the same time. I put the extras in seperate baggies. Hmmm...

Nothing to be sorry about! Those baggies can get slippery. It'll turn up and if it doesn't, not the end of the world.

Hi, @feebean - I just got my packet, and won't be able to open it until tomorrow, probably, but I will keep an eye out to see if the missing seeds turned up in mine.

I double checked; it's not in my package.

Not in my package either, @feebean I would have happily sent it along to you.

Okay this is weird, I'm missing my bundle from JessabelleJHL as well (6 items), which is somewhat fitting because I messed up and had someone else's bundle of items from me escape getting packed into the parcel to the host for this swap. (We are settling that up in the native swap coming up next though.)

It looks as if my bundle of seven items from her is missing too, since I don't see the items in those I've already listed or those remaining in the package.

Yeah, I didn't get mine from her either, but I wasn't going to mention it since I have so many seeds. But now that I am seeing these other postings, I am wondering if her package arrived late to Lisa. @ishareflowers, if you are thinking you have her seeds to send out, I will gladly send you more postage. It's a busy season, and you have enough going on without having to worry about extra postage! Or, if you never got her package, no worries at least from my end - things do get lost in the mail from time to time.

Yes, I have more than enough seeds already too--pages and pages of them! I'm also very grateful to JessabelleJHL since she sent me, in the previous swap, what I think are the only viable gerbera seeds I ever received in a swap. They are coming up like gangbusters right now, so I'm not worrying about the missing seeds.

OMG,
She never mailed her seeds!

I'm so sorry, I don't know how the hell I managed to flub that up.

I should have known because when I put all the money aside for mailing the return envelopes I was short postage. I wasn't going to do each individually anyway but when I pulled out the envelope to pay and I was short I just ran my debit card and didn't think much of it.

I just sent her message because I mailed and paid for her package to be mailed to her.

Let's hope I can resolve this

I can't sleep.

I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure out how the heck I marked her seeds as mailed in my head.

It finally hit me!

@poisondartfrog and @Bluespiral will also know how this happened.

I just tracked the package of seeds that I mailed to @JessabelleJLH. It says that she has requested they be held at the post office.

It's not like her to not mail her seeds, I'm suspecting that something has prevented her from mailing.

I sent her a tree mail and when she responds, I'll request that she send her seeds. I will then send out envelopes to everyone to try and make this right.

Im so sorry.

Lisa, I guess when it comes to seeds, some of us need to be careful what we wish for

But I do sheepishly and profoundly apologize for my role which is too embarrassing to discuss here. And I promise to do it again, but in a different, more 'humane' way

@ishareflowers thanks for figuring this out! I hope JessabellJLH and her family are okay. If she manages to send her seeds, let me know how much to Paypal to you to cover the shipping, you shouldn't have to cover that expense. Thanks for everything you've done for the swap!

Lisa, Stuff happens. I don't think anyone is overly upset about anything. You've done and do us a favor by hosting this swap and I appreciate it. Please don't go to any trouble just to send me a few packets of seeds. As you know, my stash is already overflowing as it is.
I also hope Jess & family are all ok!

Ditto Janine and others, @ishareflowers - please sleep! Betting that the number of participants here who really need Jess' seeds is zero. If she sends them, and I do hope all is well with her, and you do want to send them, please don't pay the postage yourself. And if the whole thing is too much of a pain for you, just bag it - I don't think there will be any bad feelings incurred.

And if everything is not okay with Jess, and we can help her out by sending seeds or cards, let us know - I am sure we will be happy to help. You have already done enough work, please, please, please don't make yourself crazy over this.

Thank you Gals.

I mailed Jess's seeds to her, she just has not picked them up from the post office. I am hoping she's okay as well because she is normally on the ball.

@Bluespiral , we do not need to discuss publicly how that happened 🤣😂🤣. It was still an oversight on MY part!

I'd only made mention of it because I don't want the players in the swap to think I've lost my mind. I know you and Alana know how it happened so I have two people to confirm that I am not going mad

I have absolutely no problem sending the seeds out to the players if all is well with Jess and she ends up contacting me. If there are only 10 people who got packages from her then I can mail those up to like 10 packs with a butterfly non-machinable stamp and a little bit of bubble wrap. I use them all the time and if they are brought into the post office and hand stamped then I think they're up to 80 cents now it is well worth it to me to repair this mistake.

@ishareflowers…Yea Lisa just what my seed collection needs is more seeds😅🤣😂….. we are okay if there are no additional seeds. It is not like Jessica and i have reached out to her on her personal email as well to make sure she is okay. I will let everyone know if I hear back from her.

Has anyone heard from Jessica?
I'm certainly not worried about seeds if I even dibbed any from her!

It's just not like her to disappear.

It is concerning that she still hasn't touched base.
