Monday June 13th 2011@3:33pm ( chat from oriental trading concerning the white beach balls …. they are so popular thaty are out of stock!)

So I had bought an American express gift card…. to be able to send my mother a special treat for her b-day while she was away… i tried to make it a cake…then turned into a piece of cake… and eventually nothing seemed to be working…. but… she was happy that i was able to Skype her and wish her Happy Birthday…   

so since i wasn’t able to use the card… for whatever reason… ( didn’t really make any sense…) I went t on line to t go and get those beach balls that i raved about ages ago.. and  you won’t believe  this they are out of stock…HA!

Here is the chat that transpired today concerning the order and purchase of the beach balls.. i actually thought the lag time for  orders would be much faster…. we will wait and see when they   come back… if anyone  finds anything like it let me know…or if they are back in stock earlier let me know Thanks luv mary jean ziskaa
