I sent mine back around 12/11 Priority Mail – sorry, no tracking. But the usually reliable guy at the PO told me that would get it there by Christmas. (Liar.)
Sorry I’m slow to post - I’ve been out of town for a few days. I got my ornaments from elelle! There’s an elegant white and gold Okra Angel (did you make that?) and a cheerful reindeer jingle bell ornament. I like them very much, thank you!
Yay, Eleanor, glad you like 'em. Was glad to send the Okra Angel to a fellow Southerner. Nope, I didn’t make it, but am wanting to do some for next year. It’s a great use for the last of the season okra pods, by the time they are that big, unedible.
I just got back into town last night and checked the mail first thing this morning (well more like this afternoon, but who’s counting).
There was a lovely tin that I will make great use of, filled with handmade dough ornaments. They are beautiful and I will be hanging them on the tree as soon as I post this. One or two of them need some glue, but they came from Switzerland so I think they came along great!
Thank You Anaglyph
Ludy, glad to hear your ornament has arrived.
This brings the MIAs down to 4 which have been sent but not yet received. Plus 2 others which have not yet (as far as I know) been sent. I’m hoping to hear those have been sent in the next day or so; also to hear that the “in transit” ones have arrived.
I’m glad to hear that they finally arrived!
I hear from **Mama Zappa ** that **TwoOnSunday ** never got the first ornament I sent. Unfortunately it was USPS and no tracking.
Should we set a deadline and after that I will send another one??
I haven’t heard any additional updates on ornaments sent / received.
The following ornaments were sent but have not been reported as received:
pbbth to gigi
gigi to TwoOnSunday
TwoOnSunday to Scarlett67
Scarlett67 to kaiwik
If any of you have received anything since I emailed you all (last week?) let me know.
There are two other ornaments whose senders have not yet reported mailing them; I’ll email those senders separately. Zabali_Clawbane and gigi (second round) are the ones who have so far been left out by that. I’ve heard from those senders that they have ornaments but just have not been able to send; if that’s you, please drop me a line and let me know when you will be able to do so.
I’ve got a couple of spare ornaments that I can send to fill in a few of the missing ones (or not-sent ones) if need be; if others have spares to send, let me know - I hate to have anyone go disappointed 
I’d suggested we go through Saturday then any volunteers to send out would be gratefully received.
Got my ornament today from TwoOnSunday! It’s a sort of a stained-glass martini (I think, because of the marble “olive” . . . but it’s too round to be a martini glass, and it has a strange “handle”, and . . .). But anyway, it looks very cool. I don’t feel like it’s a Christmas ornament, though, especially in light of the enclosed “Happy New Year” greeting . . . I hung it in the alcove in the kitchen between our hanging wineglass racks. Seemed appropriate!
Thanks very much, TwoOnSunday!
D’Oh! I did get my wonderful I<heart>NY ornament from pbbth. I sent her a thank-you but forgot to report back here.
Looking forward to the Aussie one 
No ornament has arrived for me yet.
Getting closer - phew! Email reports today indicate that the only ones missing are those being sent to kaiwik, Zabali_clawbane, and gigi in round 2.
I know an ornament was sent to kaiwik - hopefully this one is just a matter of not reporting that it’s been received; the other two, I’m waiting on confirmation from the senders that they have in fact been shipped. Both are coming a long distance so hopefully that’s why they haven’t arrived yet.
Update 1/4: Kaiwik has received an ornament so Zabali_clawbane and gigi are currently the only orphans.
Zab - one was mailed to you, just before Christmas. Your sender has a spare if it doesn’t turn up in the next day or so and can send a replacement.
gigi - last I heard, your sender had one and was ready to send. I have NOT, however, heard anything more since then and this was the day after Christmas. It was coming from a long distance away so if it was sent, it may be a few more days.
Oh good, it got there! I hope she liked what I sent.
Belated update:
Right now only Gigi (round 2) and Zabali_clawbane are still awaiting ornaments. I know a second one was sent to gigi (original sender appears to have disappeared ), and I know a second one was queued up to be sent to zabali_clawbane (USPS appears to have made the original disappear :mad: ). Can you guys let me know when/if you receive anything?
No status change here. But even this part of Kansas got several inches (ten) of snow at the end of this week, and that did slow things down. There were even two snowdays!
