Got a set from another swap on another board yesterday, Flies will go out in Mondays mail…As long as I remember to grab them in the morning;)
Bill

Quillbody BWO #12, ready

Mine are nearly done, they will go out this week!

Flies are on the way. I mailed them a few days ago.

Mine are in the post now. Keep the extra’s Bill!

Sjo:
Flies have not arrived. How long does it usually take to get from you to US?
Thanks,
Bill

Oh God, normally it takes from 4 to 6 working days so they really should have arrived in the mean time. I have had lots off issues with our Dutch post the last three months. Almost nothing in time and lots off packages getting lost. I will ty a new bunch off flies. If it takes too long, you just close up and send the flies you got. You can then keep my new bunch.

I will then ty the september flies and then I will stop following this Swap, because I am holding up everyone each month. I truely am deeply ashamed about that. I do this with pain in my heart, because I like the SotM.
Sjo

Sjo:
We’ll wait for your flies until h*** freezes over! Please don’t leave simply because of a bureaucratic mix up with the post. The participants are the swap.
Thanks,
Bill

I don’t want you to leave the swaps. We will work something out.

Rick

This is an idea that may bnot float with everyone.
How about sending the flies with the Septmeber swap and I will send them out to everyone.

Rick

That would work for me. I’ll send Sjo a set of what I have and then you could distribute his set from August and September.

Okay, we will do it that way, I’ll send both the August and the September swap to Rick!
Thanks for that. I’m pleased that you two don’t want me to stop the SotM, but what can I do? You would have to accept this blundering and mismanaging off the Post. I don’t see it happening to others, so it’s a local thing over here. I allready complained at the regional Post Office and that’s a big fat help you get there (not).
Sjo

If no one objects, I’ll get the flies sorted out today and in the mail tomorrow. Sjo’s flies for August will be distributed by Rick with the September SOTM. Sjo, please PM your address. I’ve lost it.

Good news! Sjo, your files arrrived today! I’ll sort out the packages and get them in the mail Wednesday. Rick, thanks for your idea, but the postman finally arrived.

It took them 18 days. I think I know a shorter route!
Sjo

I think they must of went west from Amsterdam. Any way, flies are in the mail. Sjo, I’ll get yours to the post office tomorrow.

I think I may choose a theme I’m better at. I must say I was embarrassed by the great quality of the other flies compared to mine. Thanks to all the participants.

I got some very nice looking flies in the mail today.
Thanks to all the tyers.

Rick

Got the flies yesterday, put them in my display boxes this morning…Great Job Guy’s.
Thanx Bill
Bill

Gottem! Great ties, everyone.
