What is happening gang?

Hey all... Happy New Year!

Let's start off the year by finding out what the heck is going on here. Where are all the books? Are they even moving? I have not received one and it seems a few of them are still living with Debbie, who hasn't communicated in months. We only seem to get word of what she is doing, but no actual confirmation. I am not really usually one to nag, but it seems like this group is having some serious issues getting off the ground. I love the entries we've seen so far, but aside from Jennifer and Scoach's second entries, there hasn't been any (I haven't even received any books yet), only the first ones. This group started in August... 5 months ago. Is everyone even still interested? I am keen to keep going, but not if books are going a.w.o.l. on people... that just isn't cool.

What's up? Who has what? What is their status (ie. done, sent and when, not even started, at the bottom of the junk pile)?

Claire - Elvia's (as of Jan 15) YAY!
Stacey - Claire's
Allyson -
Elvia - none, really interested in continuing with other moleskines.
Scoach - none
Jennifer - none,
Debbie - Her's, Jennifer's, and Scoach's?

Thanks all of you who are communicating regularly... again, I really am not a naggy person but I am just really busy (as I am sure you all are too) and really don't want to put the effort in and continue if people aren't communicating or participating in this as I would rather put my effort in the other exchanges that seem to be more active.

Cheers. :)

I really want this exchange to work even if it is just going back and forth with a few people. Debbie has all of the notebooks that should be to you. I'm not sure how to get her to get the books in motion. Do you know if there is a person in another exchange that lives close to her so that person might be able to pick them up and move them on? I would be willing to pay the shipping.

I had emailed and flikrmailed Debbie and she said that she would forward the books. I will try again to see if I get a response. I would really like to keep up with the exchange also. I do have one of the books ~ Claire's. I have had it for a while and will be forwarding it on shortly. Hopefully we can get the books moving and those of us who would like to can continue on.

Hi Guys, Count me still in. I agree with Scoach, let's keep this thing going even if it's only with a few of us.
Claire - I mailed Elvia's book to you on Dec 21. As far as I know, Debbie still has my book and I mailed her Scoach's forever ago. Really hope that she forwards them, I was particularly partial to my book.

BTW - I am currently without a book.

Scoach said...

Oh, if you are tracking the status, I do not have a book.

claire said...

Please don't get me wrong... I am totally keen to continue too, and I guess we will just have to wait until the books get forwarded from Debbie... I just thought it was time for a check in to see where all the books are. Who has Allyson's, and Stacey's? How the heck are we going to get at least Jennifer and Scoach's books from her???

got Elvia's fish moley... I LOVE fish so I can't wait to do something in it... It looks sooooo good so far!

Has anyone heard from Debbie? I have sent flickr-mails to her for the last 3 weeks begging foe either a response or the return of mine & Scott's books. I have to be honest, I'm going to be really bummed if I don't get that book back :(

Scoach said...

I have not heard, and my book is stuck with your book. I would love to get it moving again. Do we have her address? I would be willing to send her a postage paid envelope if you think it would help. I would also need the next address to put on the mailer.

Stacey D said...

I have also tried a number of times to contact Debbie through flickr mail and email and have not gotten any further response.

I would be willing to contribute to the cost of postage to send her packaging to forward the books that she has. I would hate for anyone to lose their book, but I don't know what else we can do. I think that I am just going to start a new book and forget about the one that is missing. Atleast that would put another book out there for those of us who wish to continue.
