[SaralovesMike]

If it's not too late add me too!

[Trin]

I PM'd my addy!

[WebLady]

Did we set a deadline for the sign up on this? When are we gonna get our buddy's? I am excited to go shopping :bbmrgreen:

[Jenn060306]

I was wondering this too.
I don't want to wait too long, i'm worried about how long it will take to get to my buddy. I'm thinking it will have to cross the boarder which will take more time. Plus i am seeing all these really cute ornaments while i am out shopping and i want to know what i should be looking for.

[theweddinghelper]

If it's not too late add me too!

I will add your name for now, but I need your add. by tonight or early tom. or I will have to take u off. Sorry, it's just I should have already started this but I have been waiting on a few people.

I have been ready but I am still waiting for people. I have PMed them once again. Sorry about the wait! :) I am just as excited! I want to start giving out the addresses by Fri. or Sat. if not earlier! :)

[LizabethDavis]

I agree with everyone else and think we should set a deadline now. Those that have not given you their addy will sadly have to sit out. I think that is only fair so that we are not keeping everyone waiting!

[theweddinghelper]

Ok, I will figure out everyone's buddies tonight, if I hear from any one before I post it I can fix it. Otherwise, the others will have to wait till next time.
(I am saving the addresses so I don't have to do all that again next yr. LOL!)
Now I see what u go through every PC Exchange, Gwen!:winktongue:

[WebLady]

We are doing this on another board I'm on and the deadline to sign up is the 15th. Maybe we can give everyone till then?

[theweddinghelper]

I'll give every one till tom. late afternoon/ evening, I am just waiting on 1 person now! :)

[hummingbird521]

Great news. I am excited about it and have already been looking at ornaments.

[theweddinghelper]

I am finishing up the list now as we speak, I will be PMing everybody their buddies very shortly! :)

[Kacie_bride]

I can't wait! Hopefully I can find an ornament this weekend!

[ikkin510]

I never got a buddy name/addressed PMed to me!

[Kacie_bride]

I never got a buddy name/addressed PMed to me!

I didn't either.

[ikkin510]

Maybe she didn't get finished PMing everyone yesterday. I was kinda worried that she forgot about me. At least I'm not the only one who didn't get my name yet!

[blueeyedbride]

I never got a buddy name/addressed PMed to me!

me either:huh:

[LizabethDavis]

I never got a buddy name/addressed PMed to me!

I didn't get one either!!

[hummingbird521]

didn't get mine either.

[Trin]

I didnt get one either

[WebLady]

Wow, was I the only one that got the PM :huh:

[WhiskeyGirl]

Wow, was I the only one that got the PM :huh:

No I got one too! I don't know, maybe she wasn't finished. ??

[MOB Karen]

No I got one too! I don't know, maybe she wasn't finished. ??

I got my PM too, but I thought she was finished.

[WhiskeyGirl]

I got my PM too, but I thought she was finished.

Should someone start a thread to tell her which ones didn't get a pm who should have!?

[mariaandmanish]

I think I'm going to PM her quickly to let her know that I didn't. Should I just send her a list of those I know, based upon those who've mentioned it here?

[WhiskeyGirl]

That probably wouldn't be a bad idea at all!!

[mariaandmanish]

For everyone who hasn't received their PM yet, I just sent Christian a PM with all of your names letting her know. I only knew about the one's of you who've already posted that you didn't get your PM, so if there is anyone else, either post it here and I'll update the PM or you can possibly PM her!

[AngelinLove]

I got mine!

[theweddinghelper]

Yes I was aware and I am so sorry about that! I got real sick last night and couldn't finish!
Also, on top of that I have an even amt of people on the list but someone is still going 2 be left off somehow, so now I am having to go back on my whole list! I've rechecked 5 times and my sis checked it twice and we can not figure it out! ERRR! I will be correcting the prob. now. I am trying 2 get ahold of Gwen 2 see what happened. Thanks and sorry again! :)

[blueeyedbride]

If its easier you can remove my name and I will just catch an exchange someother time...

[hummingbird521]

Sorry about that. Hope you are feeling better now. If not we can wait hon.

[theweddinghelper]

You don't have to do that!:) I feel bad ,bc Karen added her name back on so it would be an even amt. but it's not turning out right w/ an even amt. which doesn't make any sense!!:irked: I had the whole thing done, but 1 girl was left out. (I am trying 2 get ahold of Gwen right now.)

[blueeyedbride]

Thats cool I will just do another exchange.....

[MOB Karen]

Christian, why not just take me back off the list again and that will even things out again.

[rainbowtreat]

Christian, why not just take me back off the list again and that will even things out again.


Because of what she has done so far and what she has left to play with I think it would be harder now. I just spent some time with her on the phone an I thik she is ok with the list now. I believe I helped her hash it out.

[WebLady]

Sorry you felt bad Christian! Glad you are feeling better :flower:

I hope you don't have to change who I have because I already bought her ornament :notsure:

I hope you guys can figure things out and everyone that wants to can participate.

[theweddinghelper]

To answer everyone's questions and statements:
I talked w/ Gwen and she's a lifesaver! We figured everything out! There was someone left out somehow but we put her back in and redid the list w/out having to mess up the ones I already assigned. (If I would have taken anyone back out, then it would mess it up for the ones I already PMed and who may of started shopping.) It worked out perfectly and the list is now done! LOL! SO.. please don't Karen or Blueeyedbride take yourself out bc we will have 2 redo it again. Thanks again everyone for understanding and offering to help me out! :) I will be PMing everyone shortly unless I already gave u a name and address.
