Teresa- I pmd you Tues, that I received blocks in with my Christmas blocks that are from the Sept block lotto and I haven't heard back from you. There is a note on the bag that says " a gift for you enjoy". Did you mean to send these to Tina? I wasn't even in the block lotto. Let me know asap so they can get to the right owner. Thanks, Vinae

teresa...tracking number states my blocks left bakersfield on 10 05 12 and no word of them since. they have not arrived here. any news from your end? marcia

[TeresaK]

Marcia - Not worried yet. Sometimes they just don't update the computer. Same thing happened with Valerie's quilt on its way here and it arrived in one piece so I will have a cup of tea and keep positive thoughts ... for today

[nur5e]

teresa...actually, po here said for you to contact your po to start investigating. cannot be done from this end. i caled them a short while ago. marcia

[TeresaK]

Marcia - Talked with both PO's today. Have them looking into it.
Have moved from a cup of tea to a glass of wine now although I know it will get to you

I do know that if a package goes through Bell Gardens and not Santa Clarita it takes a few more days - UGH!

thanks teresa

Marcia,

If for some reason, the PO loses your blocks, I will gladly make another dresden plate block for you. I'm sure everyone would be happy to do the same.

Hopefully, they will show up just a little bit late but these things happen even when the package is insured. Your birds probably took a detour!

Keep us posted.

Hugs! Debbie

OK Pals - Have no fear I know Marcia's package will get to her.
This has happened before to others and we just need to calmly wait and keep positive thoughts that they will arrive.

We are talking about the USPO here and we all know that they are very inconsistant in their timing due to weather or slowness but packages do get there.

So please let us all be calm for Marcia and also for the others who are waiting as well ;
