image from nice package
hi friends! just wanted to give you an update about the lovely package exchange since i have been receiving some emails. groups are still being assigned: so sorry for the delay. i am trying to include as many people as i can. the cut off was 350 but 500 signed up. but my internet has been out - nick and i are sitting outside of a coffeebean right now! (free internet is sweet when yours isnt working at home) so hopefully my internet gets working asap! you'll be hearing from me soon. xo.
Thanks for the update! What a lot of work you have to do to set this up for all of us. Thank you so much for the efforts you are putting in.
ReplyDeleteHope your internet comes back soon!
Thanks for the info! No stress Danielle. Hope your internet is up again soon, I know how naked you must feel without it!

Yay! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteWe can wait!!! I can't believe your so dedicated that you are at the Coffee Bean trying to organize this. I hope your internet is working soon too!! That would drive me craaaaazzzzzyyyyyy!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update Danni! We really appreciate all that you are doing, it must be stressful trying to coordinate so many entries! You are doing a great job! Hope you get your internet back soon!!!!!! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for the update Danni ♥ I was a teensy bit worried that I hadn't yet received an group assignment email, so now I know all is well :D. Hope your internet is working smoothly again soon, mine has been very unreliable so far this year --- so I sure know how inconvenient that can be.
ReplyDeleteSo excited about making a lovely, lovely parcel --- can't wait!!!
so good to hear! I signed up on the day of the cut off, the 4th, so I hope I get to participate! What a wonderful thing for you to host! How Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
thanks for the update!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update ... no internet = no fun! Good Luck :)
ReplyDeleteI just posted last night on how much I hope I'll get chosen as a group leader. Can't wait to participate!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update Danni! Hope to hear from you soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update!! This is so fun! Thanks for setting it up!
ReplyDeleteOooh fun I'm going to have to check this out! Also you should chk out my operation snail mail post, similar fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for letting us know. I am so excited to participate!
ReplyDeletemy internet was temporarily (thank goodness) off last night, I'm glad it's working today. I work on it so whenever anything doesn't function it's terrible ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you get yours back very soon and I'm looking forward to "meeting" my packagie. :)
I am so excited for this. Thank you for the update! I have been checking my email like crazy, and then I was afraid I had missed the cut. Good luck with no internet. That sucks.
ReplyDeleteIf you need an extra group leader since so many people signed up, let me know
I am so impatient to find out whether "I made the cut"! :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck sorting everything out, be patient, and thanks again for organising it.
Sounds like a lot of work! Wish I could help!
ReplyDeleteYour original schedule even said that nothing was going to be happening until at least the 18th, so I'm surprised that people have already been emailing you, tut-tut!
Thanks for the update Danni - I'm super super excited for this!! :-)
ReplyDeletethank you so much danni! we dont mind! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update and for doing this!
ReplyDeleteVery excited. Must be so much work, and early Thanks. This is going to be fun.
ReplyDeleteI still don't know if I'm in but thank you for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update!

So pretty. I am just adoring your work, the blog and especially those lovely necklaces of yours.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited!! Thanks for the update.
ReplyDeletethank you for the update!! :) i'm still crossing all my fingers hoping i'm selected to participate!
ReplyDeletehope your internet is up soon. i don't know if i can function without internet.
<3 happy almost weekend!

ReplyDeleteDino from New Zealand
thanx danni for the info. just yesterday i was thinking and wondering about it. have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteI have hope yet!!! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteOh, dear, hope they fix it soon because working at cafes really sucks when you don't have another option..
ReplyDeleteAnd 500 people - my, that must be a lot of work! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help! xo
Phew, I didn't miss the email. Thanks for the update and many extra thanks for all the hard work organizing this.
ReplyDeleteI was number 400 something to sign up.. I'm so happy that you are trying to fit us all in! Thank you sooo much for taking time to organize this for us, Danni!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. Maybe we should consider a bit of an extension? Like having until April 15 to mail packages out? I know personally I was looking forward to getting to know my swap partner and then perhaps utilizing some of the great etsy talents for a few of my items. But, I don't think I have enough time for that now, if we have to still send the packages by April 1.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought.
like everyone else - thank you for the update :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about this exchange - sending wonderful parcels is one of my favorite things!
Happy Spring
WAIT... DID I MISS THIS AGAIN!?! I am trying to find the first post on this package exchange #2?? Can I still enter? Thanks!! Good luck with everthing and YES thanks for all your hard work, good ideas usually mean lots of work!! blessings, Katie
ReplyDeleteThx for the update! Our hardrive crashed last wknd, so I totally hear you in trying to get the internet when you can! Very excited for the swap!
ReplyDeleteall so beautiful, but you had me at cupcakes in a jar. yum!
ReplyDeleteHi Dani, I did not receive my email either. Thanks for running this..I am super excited and can't wait to be a part of this! :)
ReplyDeletegoodness your blog is STUNNING, I can see I will be spending a LOT of time here x
ReplyDeleteI agree with Amanda, an extension would be much appreciated! I know I want to shop with my swap partner in mind and it would be very difficult to have time to find, order and receive items (especially handmade goods) in such a short time frame. It would be a shame to rush finding the perfect items to send the package on time.
ReplyDeleteAw, I haven't received an email yet...does that mean I'm not in. Oh well, it's a lovely idea and I'll make sure to sign up next year!
ReplyDeleteAny news on the Lovely Package Exchange? I've yet to receive an email, so wondered if Danni is still having internet problems.
ReplyDeleteHi Danni,
ReplyDeleteCould you do a brief few line post on the 2010 lovely package exchange? For us newbies we have no idea if we didn't get in or whether we just haven't heard yet. I'm truly not trying to nag I just want to be ready to do a hopefully spectacular package if I'm in. If I didn't make the cut well no worries... I'll just hope for fall :)
Super cool! I'm crossing my ringer & praying so I can make the cut :))) It will be my first one, super excited :) Thanks for putting this together Danni :)))) Greetings from Oklahoma from a Panamanian chica :))

oops, I just read that I was supposed to fill out a form, not only post a comment, oh bummer, i guess ill have to wait for the 2011 package exchanged :((( happy exchange everybody :)
ReplyDeleteHi Danni! Any more updates yet? I'm wondering if eveyone's been notified and I just haven't heard anything yet. Thanks so much! BTW, your blog rocks it girlfriend! ;)
ReplyDeleteHi, I was one of the first 100 or so to sign up, and still have not heard anything. Just wondering if it is still happening? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Danni! I signed up for the exchange well ahead of the 350 participant limit and have yet to hear anything --- is the exchange still on?
ReplyDeletei was wondering the same thing as the people above. any updates?
