Etsy irony.....

Ok.... so I ordered something really cool from Etsy (for myself and for Christmas presents so I can't post them here). When I placed my order I asked the girl, Michele, if she had anything with angel bears on it. I wanted to order something for Ter.

So, Michele... angel that she is.... went on a hunt for pink angel bear fabric. She found some and sent me a link to see what I thought. And I LOVED it. So she ordered it. Then she made the secret items (I promise I will post a link to Michele's etsy shop after Christmas cuz I just don't want the ppl I ordered for to go there, fall in love and order for themselves... LOL). She sent me pics of the items... and I LOVED them.... so I ordered them for Ter.

Then on Saturday (4 days after I placed MY order) I get an IM from Ter saying, "JO! LOOK WHAT I BOUGHT!" and I follow the link she sent.... TO THE EXACT ITEMS I HAD SPECIALLY MADE AND ORDERED FOR HER!!!!!!

Now... what ARE the chances????

So, of course I panicked .... and sent Michele a message saying, "Mayday! Mayday! mayday!"

Then.... instead of waiting to see what ideas she had about the situation.... I IM'd Ter and told her she had to cancel her order. Of course she asked why.... and I hadn't planned THAT far ahead.... and couldn't come up with an excuse that sounded feasible..... so I told her what was up.

We had a good laugh! I sent Michele a message telling her not to fret cuz I had told Ter.

But SHE had come up with a GREAT excuse... and it would have worked too if I had just kept my pants on! LOL!!!

Oh well.... now the cat's out of the bag... and Michele is going to refund Ter's money... and as soon as I get my pkg, I'll send it on to Ter... and all will be right with the world! LOL... ok, well, in my little corner anyway.... for the time being.

*sigh* Seriously... what ARE the chances???
