Asbean's pass the parcel

[asbean]

I've emailed her. We just have to wait a while.  If she doesn't respond to the email I'll drop her a line.

:-\ :-\ :-\

fingers crossed, I was hoping for another go round  :-\

Any news on the seed parcel or Levi??

[asbean]

No reply to my email, I've sent her a note in the post which she should have got this morning (assuming her postman delivers, unlike ours lol).  I'll give her till Tuesday or Wednesday and if I haven't heard anything then we'll have to assume it's over.  Shame, it was so near the end too.  Five disappointed people who wanted to participate and couldn't, myself who wanted to see how it ended up, 19 people who took the trouble to add more seeds and pass it on promptly, and all those who wanted to see it go round a second time.

We have to wait and see if she responds.  She may have had problems (lots of people do at this time of the year) and we can't judge without knowing the facts.  But it's not the first, others have gone astray in the past, it shouldn't stop other people taking on a parcel.

It's all gone quiet on Digeroos parcel too....  :(
Though the postal service at work has been rubbish over X-mas/NY anyway and then the weather happened....

It may resurface soon as long as the last sender put their address on it.  I sent a couple of parcels to my daughters' in Canada but forgot to put the apartment number on.  One was returned to us (it was registered) and the other I expect in about three months time.  A parcel I sent to my sister in Australia was also returned three months later because I forgot to put the house number on.......

[asbean]

Yeah, that will work - but only if the sender sends it.  :-\ :-\ :-\

Keeping my fingers crossed.

[lottie lou]

What I meant to say was if the last sender is anything like me could have left something important off the addres - like house number.  Do swaps go missing often as the parcels are quite large and I couldn't see anyone being able to use that many seeds.

[asbean]

All the addresses sent to me were copied and pasted from the messages.  I also put in a set of labels with FROM on them, so the sender's name and address could be on the package too.

A well planned swap and hard to go wrong with a printed list, to and from sticky lables ready printed. In my opinion a really good swap and a shame if others do not see it.

However as Asbean says things sometimes happen.

[reddyreddy]

still no news?

[asbean]

Nope, nothing.

I've tried emailing and letter writing, and no response. So I'm afraid we'll have to consider this package has come to an abrupt halt.

Sorry Anemone, you were next, then Actiongran, Suzanne, Tonybloke, and finally Jokey.  Mpdjulie was going to take it over and send it round a second time.

Well, if miracles happen, she may decide to pass it on and all will be OK.  As Suzanne said, she may have a lot on her plate and it got overlooked.

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

She's not been on the forum since before Xmas, which to me, with my sanguine view of human nature, suggests that something has happened to prevent her from doing so.

Has anyone tried googling her name ad address to see if a phone number is kicking around online?

Is there any news on the parcel?
:)

[lottie lou]

Lets be charitable - all I can think of is that something awful has happened in her life that has made the seed swap immaterial at the mo.

[asbean]

 :'( :'( :'(

I hope this doesn't put anyone off starting another swap ... ... ...  ??? ??? ??? ???

[mpdjulie]

I am quite prepared to take on this seed swap as it seems that we are not going to continue with Asbeans parcel due to it being lost.  I have to admit that I haven't got a lot of seeds to start the swap with, so does anyone have any ideas what I should do?

I could send you a few seeds if some others also can contribute a few it would soon make up a parcel.  

This has given me a good idea, I think that if I do a parcel next year I will ask for contributions from people to start it off with.  

I hope Levi is ok.  

My parcel is still on the go and has two or three more to go, would those who missed out with like to be added to my list.
