Description:

So this is a round robin! Meaning you will send out a package to 1 person!

You will recieve an envelope, probably a 9x12 bubbly filled with at least 10 pair if NEW CUTE SOCKS. You then take out whatever cute pairs you would like and replace them with NEW CUTE SOCKS you buy. Please do NOT send socks unless they have the tags still on them! No one wants other people's foot funk! And then you send the envelope out to the next person on the list! Easy Peesey!

RULES: * Envelope ocan add more if you like.

  • Delievery confirmation is a MUST! You MUST post the numbers in the comment section. MUST

  • This swap is international but if you have problems sending overseas, please let me know. I may be able to rearrange partners.

  • You DO NOT send to the person swap-bot assigns you. You send to the person below you on the list included in the package!

  • Feedback should be 4.8 or above. If you have lower feedback, I will look and see why!

  • If your feedbackstarts slipping before you get the package, we WILL skip over you so you do not disappoint other people.

*You are allowed to keep the package ONLY for 7-10 days. This gives you PLENTY of time to buy new socks and mail the package out. Since these are JUST socks, it should not cost much to send out.

List:

Elizabeth4510 to chappykat chappykat to wildncrazy wildncrazy to ddmaree ddmaree to rayne rayne to 5gallon 5 gallon to Vivica Vivica to justmeSKJ justmeSKJ to Candy Star candy Star to Danielle F Danielle F to Vicki Vicki to Elizabeth4510

only trouble is... if you have to send out of the US you can't delivery confirmation... or am I wrong?

ElizabethObviously 06/21/2007 #

no that is right...if you send out of the US....scan a copy of your receipt or take a picture of you with the package...

user7363 06/22/2007 #

elizabeth, I was looking at socks today, thinking that it would be good if we all sent in a pair or so to seed the package. Were you planning on providing the entire first selection? Or did you want us to start you off?

vivica9 06/23/2007 #

FGB~ that's a good idea! I acutaly was looking at socks myself today... couldn't help but to grab a few. :)

earthnk 06/23/2007 #

I'll be happy to help seed too! Lemme know where to send and I'll wing em your way on Monday.

ElizabethObviously 06/24/2007 #

no i will provide all 10 pairs to start out. that way you guys can buy some and use those to swap out...socks are only like $1 at wal mart

VJP 06/25/2007 #

Wahooo...this is my first sock swap!!! So can we do "fun and funky" or is this a serious sock swap (say that 5 times)

ElizabethObviously 06/25/2007 #

fun and funky!!!! Cute socks!!!! please do not send socks you would want yourself :D i plan on sending all socks that have designs on them...

ElizabethObviously 06/25/2007 #

all righty i am closing the swap now. I plan on sending out this friday :D

dandelion 06/25/2007 #

Oh the fun begins!! Elizabeth4510, will you be posting the list of swappers so that we can follow the socks' progress??

CandyStar 06/25/2007 #

XP I'd like to know where I stand on the list... I'm praying I'm more towards the bottom-ish half... :P

Also... just a note that I'll be making again later - if this round robin goes into the later half of August and my partner is going to send to me around that time, send me a message 'cause I'll be moving to college and don't want my parents to have to mail it to me :)

-Jesse

CandyStar 06/26/2007 #

I found a whole bunch of cool socks at the store today for cheap, so I bought them... I can't wait for the swap to be sent! :)

-Jesse

earthnk 06/27/2007 #

Is it possible to have a travel roster of the socks with maybe the aka names of swappers and states they live in emailed to us. Since this is a round robin it might be a good idea to know where we stand on the list. Help keep the channels of communication clear for all of us. Also with summer and possible vacation times set for some they will be able to see a time frame when the socks are expected on their doorstep.

earthnk 07/ 1/2007 #

Thanks for the list update. Have socks and ready to play!

ElizabethObviously 07/ 1/2007 #

:) no problem..i thought i would send out this past friday but i guess not! i will post the DC number when i do though

earthnk 07/ 1/2007 #

Oops! I SPY A PROBLEM. On my partner list I see that I am to mail the sock package to Vicki and I'm suppose to receive the package from Danielle. The round robin route you have listed above is a bit confusing. Perhaps maybe email all the swap participants privately with the addresses of the entire round robin swap might help us out a bit and again keep everyone on their toes as to the arrival and departure of the round robin package.

vivica9 07/ 1/2007 #

hehe... if you read the list out loud and kind of on the fast side it sounds like you're an announcer for a horse race. :D Sorry, not enough sleep... DH is out of town for a week and he left lastnight. :(

ElizabethObviously 07/ 1/2007 #

just to let everyone know..you DO NOTsend to the person swapbot assigned you...this has nothing to do with it!!!! you follow the list i have assigned. i will be putting an address list in the package so do not worry about that! i have done another round robin on here and it is going smoothly so no worries

ElizabethObviously 07/ 1/2007 #

just a note...this is how the feedback will work on this--

Since this swap is about communication...and posting DC numbers, etc. you will watch the boards! When you see that the person SWAP BOT assigned you has sent out and their partner recieved and commented, then you can leave that person feedback. Yes it is complicated but oh well! It is not too hard if you break it down. Like i said, COMMUNICATION

vivica9 07/ 1/2007 #

E4510~ do we mark the swap as "sent" when we actually do send it out then?

ElizabethObviously 07/ 3/2007 #

yes!!!! Mark it sent when you send it out and put the DC number in this comemnts section

earthnk 07/ 4/2007 #

Has the sock package hit the travel route? What's the DC#? Thanks

ElizabethObviously 07/ 4/2007 #

please see the post i posted on 7-1-07...thank you

earthnk 07/ 4/2007 #

Um, while I see several postings by you on 7/1/07 none contain the Delivery Confirmation # you told us to list here in the comments section after sending. Also I wasn't sure if you had actually sent because you have changed it on the sent/not sent page.

earthnk 07/ 4/2007 #

Oh and is it okay to post pictures of the swapsocks we recieve and send? Thanks

ElizabethObviously 07/ 4/2007 #

no what i said was i thought i would be able to send out that day but i could not....trust me...when i post the DC number it will be BOLD...and sure take pics of the pics of the socks!!!

ElizabethObviously 07/10/2007 #

okay...some of you offered to send some socks to start the round. that would be AWESOME. i was being all proud thinking i could do it myself but i cant. :( sooooo if you would like to send some socks PM me. :D I will give you my addie

VJP 07/18/2007 #

Elizabeth....I absolutely ADORE you...but where are we???? An update... pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!

ElizabethObviously 07/23/2007 #

CandyStar 07/24/2007 #

Hooray!! I was wondering where this was. :P

-Jesse

dandelion 07/25/2007 #

Cool, cool, cool! :D

ElizabethObviously 07/25/2007 #

grrrr i hate when the stupid people do not update the numbers...

vivica9 07/26/2007 #

I'm confused now. So WHERE is the box currently?

ElizabethObviously 07/26/2007 #

i have sent it out....but they dont always update the number i guess so last time i looked it said it was still in my town...it is not....its moved on but they dont update it

ElizabethObviously 07/26/2007 #

here it is 3 days later and they still have not updated that....why do tehy even have it ya know?

earthnk 07/27/2007 #

The sock envelope arrived on my doorstep today and I busted boody to get it shipped to the next swapper, Ragina, TODAY, since this round robin swap is a month late in starting the journey. The socks arrived in a large 9X12 manila envelope and after I swapped I repacked them in a large ziplock baggie, then put that inside a white 9X12 envelope. I have a feeling there are going to have to be new envelopes used at each swap point. When the envelope arrived it was pretty battered and that caused me to put the socks in something to keep them from getting wrecked.

The swap is now headed to Brownsville, CA

DC# 0306 3030 0002 0775 4617

My part is now done

Happy Swapping

ElizabethObviously 07/29/2007 #

well yeah i would hope people would use a new envelope each time.

wildncrazy091972 07/31/2007 #

I recieved the socks yesterday. I will get this back out Thursday or Friday. I need to go shopping for more socks. I will post the DC # when I send back out.

wildncrazy091972 08/ 3/2007 #

I sent the socks back out on 8/2/2007. HThe DC # is 0103 8555 7491 3815 9363

dandelion 08/ 7/2007 #

CandyStar 08/15/2007 #

Omgawsh hahaha that's not nice! Then if some of the socks I want suddenly dissapear I'm gonna be mad and be like "HEY! You took the socks I wanted!" ... do not tempt me with the adorable sock pictures!!!

-Jesse

dandelion 08/24/2007 #

Yep, and I double checked that I put it in when I sent the socks onward. :)

raynekitten 08/28/2007 #

vivica9 09/ 1/2007 #

ElizabethObviously 09/ 2/2007 #

vivica9 09/ 4/2007 #

I haven't heard from her... and I still don't have anything yet. :(

VJP 09/ 4/2007 #

5gallonbucket has not logged in since 8/22. Looks like another round robin gone awry.

ElizabethObviously 09/ 4/2007 #

oy vay....whats odd is she actually sent socks to get it started...

vivica9 09/ 6/2007 #

And I just found a ton of really cute socks... just waiting to swap them for a ton more. :D

ElizabethObviously 09/ 7/2007 #

vivica9 09/ 7/2007 #

vivica9 09/13/2007 #

ElizabethObviously 09/16/2007 #

okay 5gallon contacted me for Vivica's address...apparently the list was misplaced somewhere along the way. :/

VJP 09/16/2007 #

and she has now had the box for ..ummm...3 weeks????

vivica9 09/17/2007 #

It's getting cooler where I live (finally) and I really wish I had some cute socks to show off.... :(

user7363 09/18/2007 #

Sent Priority, DC#: 0305 0830 0001 7177 2053

Desperately sorry it took so long. Oh, and the page with addresses is lost, lost.

vivica9 09/20/2007 #

I HAVE SOCKS!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

CandyStar 09/23/2007 #

I'm sorta glad the page with addresses is lost 'cause my address on there is most definitely wrong, haha!

-Jesse

ElizabethObviously 09/24/2007 #

well i sent a new list to Vivica...did you not change the address in your profile??

VJP 09/29/2007 #

Vivica - Do you have an update or DC number for us?

CandyStar 09/30/2007 #

I changed it a while ago - wasn't sure if you were updating the list. :D

Donde esta la calcetines?

-Jesse

ElizabethObviously 10/ 1/2007 #

sorry i have been AWOL our internet is down :( but i used the address for Candy Star that was there when i clicked see info in the list so it should be the new if you have updated it a while back

VJP 10/ 4/2007 #

vivica9 10/ 6/2007 #

so sorry all. The socks are on their way DC 03061070000200286195. between new nephew and all of the fuss that goes with him I spaced on the time frame.

Let the beatings begin! :D

CandyStar 10/ 6/2007 #

Hey Elizabeth - just wondering if you're gonna change the send-by date, since it's Sept 30th now and... we're passed that date.

-Jesse

JustMeSKJ 10/ 9/2007 #

I have socks! :) I will try to get them back out on the road ASAP!

JustMeSKJ 10/10/2007 #

Ok, the socks are back on the road again.. :)

D.C.# 03070020000316199348

How's that for fast? :)

VJP 10/10/2007 #

That's AWESOME!!!!

JustMeSKJ 10/16/2007 #

Post Office shows:

Label/Receipt Number: 0307 0020 0003 1619 9348 Status: Delivered

Your item was delivered at 11:46 PM on October 13, 2007 in SPRINGFIELD, MO 65802.

I'm hoping that Jesse got it and is just too busy with classes to let us know! :)

CandyStar 10/17/2007 #

Hey there! On campus we don't get mail on Saturdays... they gave me the package claim slip on Monday but when I checked the mail, the post office was already closed. I went and got it on Tuesday, however, and picked out three pairs of socks that I lurve! :D

I'll be sending it out this weekend when I go back home. I have midterms this week and don't even know where the post office is around here (aaaahg!) so it seems best to just wait 'til this weekend (Fall break!). Sorry for the delay!

-Jesse

VJP 10/23/2007 #

Is there a DC#?

CandyStar 10/23/2007 #

Oh no! Crap! No there is no DC number. THe person who came with me needed to be back at the dorm by 6 and so we had to leave by 3 and I asked mom to drop off my packages at the post office... she asked me if "there were any funky forms to fill out" and I said no because most of them were books for bookmooch and paperbackswap then I left... I totally forgot she was taking the socks too. Ack!

They are on their way... oh dangit. I really hope they don't get lost.

-Jesse

VJP 10/26/2007 #

Hmmmm....nothing so far.

VJP 10/26/2007 #

So..Jesse, did it make it out over the weekend? If yes...then it did not make it here...

VJP 10/26/2007 #

oops wrong swap...it isn't coming here yet..it is going to Danielle!!! Whew....

Sure wish we could just edit our previous post...

lilmissthrifty 10/28/2007 #

HI There! I received the socks... I am going to mail out to VJP this week! Too bad there were so many ankle socks... in CT its almost winter... but I did take the fruity ones!!!! THANKS!

ElizabethObviously 10/30/2007 #

lilmissthrifty 11/ 3/2007 #

Mailed them out VJP keep an eye out...I sent them a few days ago!!!!!

VJP 11/ 3/2007 #

Just got back home from an AMAZING craft show in Denver...and the socks were here. I took 2 pairs out and put 2 pairs in. I will send them to you Elizabeth on Monday. FYI...no address list in the envie, but I'm sure I can find it somewhere....

VJP 11/ 5/2007 #

Socks were mailed today to Elizabeth.

ElizabethObviously 11/ 7/2007 #

I recieved the socks!!!! I am so glad everyone enjoyed this swap and the socks made it all home!!! Thank you everyone for participating

user7363 04/30/2020 #

It is 2020 and the guilt of flaking on this swap has never left me. I think I flaked on it anyway. I had a house fire in October of 2007 and that was the death nell for a swap I was already behind in. I don’t remember who my partner was but I will try to find out and make good. So sorry!
