Hi Sisterhood, From New York to Texas you will need to send it Priority Mail to make it there by April 1st. I've done that route a few times. Clara Anke and I are close friends and I was worried about her missing package. Even though it's safely arrived, I didn't want to trust mine to the Dutch P.O. I will be travelling to the US on March 28 and will mail my blocks to you from New York on the 29th. They should get to you on or about April 1st. I hope this will be OK. I'm having so much fun making the blocks and can't wait to see what comes back. Thanks, Karen Lipton  |

I'd like to make a suggestion to those who signed up for this exchange and haven't sent your package. We all know "life happens"  , so if you aren't able to do your HSTs, please notify Debbie right away, if that's the case and then they won't be expecting your package. It would be a shame if they started or even finished the sorting process and more packages showed up  !!! Oh, I just remembered  ...I think Debbie said the P.O. box will be closed after a certain date - April 1st  : maybe, so if your package comes in late, all your hard work will probably be sent back to you. Thanks.Thanks, Judy. We realize that several members may decide, for whatever reason, that they are unable to participate. In light of that, on April 1 we will only be expecting those packages that members let me know have been sent. We will not be able to wait for packages we don't know have been mailed, so what I have in my email 'notification' folder will be what counts on deadline day...but waiting until March 31st to put them in the mail won't be good either! |

AS OF THURSDAY, MARCH 17, WE HAVE RECEIVED 380 PACKAGES CONTAINING 151,314 HST's (35 ARE INTERNATIONAL) WHICH MEANS WE STILL HAVE TO RECEIVE 235 MORE PACKAGES SINCE 615 MEMBERS JOINED THE EXCHANGE. AS OF THIS MORNING, I ONLY HAVE EMAILS FROM 33 MEMBERS WHO HAVE MAILED THEIR PACKAGES AND 12 OF THOSE ARE INTERNATIONAL.
THIS BEARS REPEATING AGAIN AND AGAIN EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T MAILED YOUR PACKAGES YET IF YOU WILL FOLLOW THE CHECKLIST CLOSELY, THAT WILL MADE OUR JOBS OF RECEIVING AND SORTING SO MUCH EASIER. HERE'S A HELPFUL CHECKLIST TO USE BEFORE PACKAGING AND MAILING YOUR HSTs (which DO need to be received by FRIDAY, APRIL 1st , so hopefully EVERYONE, especially members from outside the U.S. are mailing their packages THIS WEEK!)____ HST's folded & NOT pressed open and paper has NOT been removed...SO VERY IMPORTANT!! ____ HST's have NOT been put into individual baggies, but have been neatly stacked & placed in a larger Ziplock bag (or smaller if not sending that many)...see photo below. Remember we have to remove HSTs from smaller bags before sort day, so you do not need to separate them into colors or counts. Only the TOTAL count is what matters! _____ If including HSTs for Queensland, Hanne or Christchurch, those have been put into individual bags & marked appropriately. ____ Screen Name, Real Name and HST count has been clearly marked on the Ziplock bag. ____ If International, contact Clara Lawrence (SN: ClaraLawrence) to get information on how to charge your return postage on PayPal. Review the 2nd Post on the 1st Page of this Forum to determine how many & what size boxes are required depending on how many HST's you will be having returned to you. ____ If International, include your address label or labels, depending on how many return boxes you paid for, along with a copy of your PayPal receipt. Review the 2nd Post on the 1st Page of this Forum to determine how many boxes are required depending on how many HST's you will be having returned to you. Do NOT include a return envelope because it CANNOT be used. We aleady have all the International Flat Rate Boxes required to return them. ____ For Domestic packages: Return envelope has stamps, your OWN address as both 'sender' and 'recipient'. Remember not to use P.O. Box addess as 'sender' since it will be closed after the Exchange. If your package is returned there for insufficient postage, it may wind up in an unknown :shock: , unhappy home forever. Also, if you are the 'sender', then it will get returned to YOU foradditional postage. ____ Mailing envelope is sturdy and is clearly marked with your ScreenName & HST count and it has been taped, taped & triple taped to make sure it won't open on it's way to Katy. ____ Once package is mailed, send Debbie (SN: NaneeWolf) an email to her PROFILE PAGE (not as a PRIVATE MESSAGE or Forum post) to let her know package is on the way. That way she can let you know by return email when your package arrives. HURRY, HURRY, HURRY TO GET YOUR PACKAGES IN THE MAIL, ESPECIALLY INTERNATIONAL...APRIL 1ST DEADLINE IS FAST APPROACHING! ONLY TWO WEEKS AND 1 DAY FROM TODAY |
