Well I guess I am going to have to face it. My husband has been working very hard to get his eggs ready to get shipped to China. He was asked to show is egg art there in a mall in Hong Kong. We have our passports and have recieved some of the payment. Now it is just a matter of a few weeks. Now I think I am scared out of my mind. I just read some of the things on the website that was in the passport packet. What alot to remember. One of my friends told me not to worry. She travels all over the world and has been to Hong Kong before and loved it and says I will love it too. Just worried.

I can understand being a bit worried, but it is also the chance of a lifetime. Enjoy every minute!

Deborah, how long will y'all be gone? Can you post some pictures of the eggs? I would be nervous too. That's a long flight. But you will be fine. And just enjoy yourself.

Deborah,
Don't suppose you have access to ostrich eggs or if your husband would want to tackle carving some of these?
I have BOXES of these from having worked with ostriches at various zoos. All have been cleaned out.
I'd love to help out in some way if this would expand your $$ making opportunities |

Only 2.00 plus shipping
I'll have to take inventory and see how many there are. I have 3 boxes
But please don't worry yourself over this until you get back! Unless your husband needs them in time for China |

OK
I took inventory and have a grand total of 57 eggs!
Some of these have 2 holes in them from when I used to blow them out by mouth. The holes are about a quarter inch or less. Barely noticeable
The rest only have 1 hole, but the hole is a bit bigger on the butt end that the egg would naturally rest on if it were displayed
How soon will you need these?
I"ll be going on some days off starting this Thursday and if you need them, could get them in the mail by Friday afternoon- April 1.
If you don't need them sooner than that, I can plan on getting them shipped by the end of April.........that way you won't be burdened by this and your overseas trip.
Happy to assist. |

My husband sad he cant use the ones that have 2 holes in them. And he doesnt need that many. But he will let the other eggers he knows that can use the ones that have 2 holes in them. He said he can use 10, and if you can send him an invoice he can pay you for the shipping and the 10 eggs that have only 1 hole in them. Is it alright to tell his other egger friends that you have these eggs? You can send the paypal invoice to my email addy.
Thanks

I'll re count the ones with just the one hole
And please, have your hubby spread the word to his buddies.
I do have a paypal account but am not famillar at all how $$ is transfered into it, so when I get totals I'll send you another message
This weekend has turned out to be a bit more "scheduled than planned" so I'll work on this and get back to you ASAP |

Thanks Anna I will pass this information on to him. We are packing eggs this weekend and they are coming to pack them and ship them on Monday. We will not be here after the 9th. But my neighbor will be looking after our dogs and house and she will be picking up mail.

I'll not trouble you any more 'till after you get back on the 21st.
In the meantime, can you send your mailing address via my AOL e mail? That will give this procrastinator more than enough time to box everything up and ship while you are away.
Best wishes. Stay safe! I hope it goes well :) |
