daniedb Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 First, let me just apologize in advance for how long it took me - I am so sorry. This was my first attempt at a coordinated swap, and I will do much better next time (or let someone else do it). We ended up having 8 total swap members, I was trying to ride the fence between waiting for late boxes and not making the members who were on time have to wait too long.They went out USPS Priority, so you should be getting them (hopefully) on Saturday, but maybe Monday. You'll be receiving back 2 items that you sent, hopefully you can repackage and sell them.Let me just tell you - I wouldn't allow myself to use anything until I sent them out, so I'm going to be in a lather of bubbles and treats starting tonight! I can't wait to hear your feedback, and again, I apologize that it took me so long, and I hope that no one is too upset.Danielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gloworm Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Package arrived. Lovely things!! Figured out Melly's, Dani's, Slatzoo and Macy's. The other neato items I can't place to a name on the list(some are marked with business, I just don't know which of you owns the business). Won't post anymore questions or comments right now so I don't spoil anyones surprise. Nice packaging too ladies- hope you all will forgive me-I don't sell B&B yet and haven't attempted labels & packaging (have to get DS to help me on that and he is hard to pin down). Enjoy all !!Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mnhorsemom Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I didn't get mine today. I hope I get it on Monday cause it's supposed to be cold and snowy here so I can spend the whole day staying inside and trying out my new stuff! BTW, my stuff is labeled Farm House Formulas.

daniedb Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 Isn't everything amazing?! I wanted to post about all this stuff forever, but I didn't want to ruin the fun - I've been lost in a cloud of products since Friday, and I am so amazed at how awesome you ladies are - everyone is so talented! You guys that sent in more than one scent in your product made it sooooo hard to choose - I selfishly kept the scents that most appealed to me, and it was a verrrrry hard decision, I wanted to keep them ALL!

Melly Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Sigh, mine will be a while before it gets here, gotta love customs. SOOOO jealous of you guys right now. Im even out of bath products to use here at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macyboutique Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Received my packaged Saturday and everything is wonderful. I already used the milk bath and I love it. Sorry about the missing labels. I am lousy at creating labels. Thanks again for all the wonderful smell goods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnhorsemom Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I got mine today Very nice stuff everyone. I tried the perfumy ones and liked them. I also tried the lip balm, very nice feel to that I would love the recipe for that one. The soaps are very nice, my Mom really liked the soap with the chunks and curls. The spiced cranberry stuff smells so good. My second attempt at cp was that flavor and I really like the votives. Can't wait to try the foot scrub, and all the rest! Thanks to everyone that sent stuff in for the swap, y'all do great work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Thanks for the compliment . I put the balm recipe on this thread http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3558. I have to say, as I think I told Glo, that the other day I thought my husband was saying my balm was crap- BUT I misunderstood him. He was comparing his medicated blistex to another balm that's emu oil based that I had gotten awhile ago (I used it as a "model" when I was first formulating my balm). He loved the emu based balm over blistex which really surprised me. I think I've decided to add more emu oil to the recipe -I luv this oil! This really was an awesome swap!Macy your forgiven for not labelling yours, ONLY because you used Pink Sugar LOL:grin2: , seriously tho that's my FAVORITE B&B scent- I luv it !! even tho Glo's products w/ Peak's Cranberry smells awesome. The Cranberry I use isn't body safe so I may have to get me some . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melly Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 YAY!! I finally got mine today!! Love everything, I am soo having a bath and pampering myself today, after them temper tantrums my 2 year old has been throwing today, I NEED it!!My best friend tried to steal my sweet pea perfume, had to bat her off of it, promised to order some sweet pea FO next time round. Great job on everything guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaztoo Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I got mine awhile ago & wasn't gonna post until I got to use some of everything. lol Well, that hasn't happened yet, but I wanted to let everyone know how awesome everything is!! Haven't felt or sniffed anything that I didn't like yet. Thanks again!!!Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 Melly, I'm so glad you got yours! That didn't take nearly as long as I thought. When I was filling out the customs form, the PO guy was like, "If the package isn't deliverable, do you want it returned or treated as abandoned?" Ever since that, I've been picturing your poor box just stranded, on a bench somewhere, smelling so good but feeling so lonely. I'm so relieved. Is that everyone then? Can we start talking about the products? Because you guys ROCK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melly Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 hahah, Danie thats just too cute. I was surprised it arrived this fast too, im still waiting on Flavour oils that where shipped 2 weeks ago today. Lets go ahead and start talking about the product, im pretty sure everyone is accounted for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
