Hello Fellowswappers, just wanted to give you all an update on the progress of our swap. There are 3 sets still out. One is, I think, in the mail, another is caught up somewhere in the mail system after having been mis-directed, and a 3rd swappers has had a complication and won't get his set into the mail until tomorrow. (Life happens to us all!) As soon as I get these last 3 sets, I'll divide them up and send them on their way. And as any of these last 3 sets arrive, I'll be sure to let you know. I think that when you see these flies "live and in person" you will agree that they are worth the wait!

 

Take care

BB - did you receive my Diawl Bach's?

Hi 12mile.

 

Yes, indeed, the flies arrived about a week ago. You scared me there for a minute. I thought I had failed to acknowledge them. See my post for March 24. Post #58. They are a great set of flies. Another great addition to this fly box. Thanks for participating. I am definitely going to use them as a dropper beneath a "Predator," (my Avitar) to go after some "gills!

 

No flies in the mail today. Three sets still out, but on the way. I'll let everyone know when they arrive, and I'll get the flies back to everyone ASAP.

 

Take care

BB...If my flies don't reach you by Fri. you should not be holding up the swap. The others have played by the rules & because of a screw up on my part :wallbash: they should not have to wait. This sort of thing can ruin your reputation as a great swapmeister......send those flies out.

Just take it easy, Flygirl. I had another letter that was forwarded yesterday, so mail is still being forwarded from the old address. Your package should be at least first class mail, if not priority mail, and it should be along shortly. There are still 2 other sets out besides your and I can't do anything until the others arrive. I'm hoping yours will be here by then.

 

Your picture shows that you tied up some very nice flies, and I'm sure the other swappers would like to have yours as well. Let's just wait and see what happens.

 

Take care

Wonderful NEWS!

 

In today's mail, I found flies from FLYGIRL! Forwarded to my new address. There are still 2 sets out. But they are in the mail, as far as I know, and should be here any day. See Flygirl! All that worrying for nothing. Yours are here and I'm still waiting on other sets to arrive.

 

However, it has become necessary for me to be out of town, unexpectedly, for a couple of days. I will leave shortly and won't get home until Saturday afternoon. If any sets come in while I'm away, I'll post them on Saturday, as soon as I get home. Also, we will be entertaining company from out of town Saturday through Tuesday evening. If possible, I'll try to get the flies how before Tuesday, (assuming they are all here by then,) but if not, I'll get them out ASAP after Tuesday. So often, life is about dealing with the unexpected.

 

Take care

Hey Everyone! We were able to finish up our business out of town early, and I got home tonight (Friday) about 10:00 PM. When I checked the mail, the other two sets have arrived! More great fliles from Student4evr and Lostlures. (Pretty neat toe tags, Lostlures!) So now I have all the flies in hand! I'm not sure if I'll be able to get them back into the mail tomorrow or not. Probably not, since our small town PO closes at Noon on Saturdays. But I'll try to get them out the first of the week. I'll let you all know when they actually hit the mail.

 

Thanks to all for a WONDERFUL set of flies! This has been a truly super swap. And you have all been wonderful to work with. Sure makes being the swapmeister a pleasure!

 

Take care

Hello Fellowswappers.

 

I have the flies sorted out and in the envelopes ready to go, but I didn't get them to the Post Office in time for today's mail. I will do my very best to get them in the mail on Monday. They are a SWEEEEET set of flies, and you guys are going to enjoy fishing them. Thanks to all for joining. As I was sorting them out today, I was amazed at all the extras. You guys and gal are GREAT! Thanks for the extras. I really appreciate them all. I'll post again when they actually go out into the mail.

 

Take care

THE FLIES ARE IN THE MAIL! :yahoo:

 

I want to thank you all for a great swap! There are some wonderful flies in this set, and you are all going to enjoy looking through your fly box and enjoying them.

 

Please let me know when your flies arrive. I always like to track them all the way back to the swappers, and, for me, the swap isn't complete until you all have your flies in hand. I'll be posting on the original message for this thread as you let me know that your flies have arrived.

 

Also, be sure to check on another thread with the same title as this one for pictures and material lists for all the flies. If you haven't given me your materials list yet, please do so so I can post it with your picture.

 

Thanks again to a GREAT group of swappers!
