LOOKING FOR AUSTRALIAN FANS TO JOIN!

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I guess the money can be sent through paypal or also a bank transfer to Earth_maiden

And we need to pick the flowers asap I think

[Earth_maiden]

Payment needs to come to me so I can use my credit card. But don't send me anything until we have confirmed numbers and the flowers we're going to send!

I can accept paypal or a bank transfer, or if anyone wanted to send money by express post they could send me cash. Worse case scenario I could accept money orders but I probably wouldn't receive them until the week after, so I'd be using my own money at first then waiting on a money order to reimburse myself, which I don't mind doing as long as people stick to their word.

EDIT: That's awesome kendelle, really appreciated! I don't mind paying whatever needs to be paid, coz I really want to send our flowers to Ayu as well (from ALL of us too :3). Sucks I was sick this weekend and couldn't work my full hours, so I won't get getting as much money as I usually do. XD

[xLuna&1LOVE]

When do you think it would be confirmed? Or are you not sure?
Sorry for being an ultranoob. Just too excited.

[Earth_maiden]

I think we're waiting on kendelle to call the florist near her to check about sending Australian native flowers overseas. And we also want to give other Aussies a chance to participate too, and waiting on some other members to confirm. I'm super excited too, but we need to be patient. XD

What do people think, Aussie flowers (more expensive and might not even be possible in the timeframe) or white roses (cheaper and easier to organize)?

[kendelle]

I just put a link to this thread on my facebook in case anyone else on my list wants to participate

Those roses look cool How about we decide after tomorrow morning when I call Tynte flowers and get the flowers sent asap and chase up monies after?
Since Earth Maiden's willing to put up her credit card for it, I'm happy to cover her extra if people suddenly can't pay after the purchase is made It's for Ayu after all!

I think if Ayu ever comes to Australia then we can send her all our State/Territory flowers. I don't think SA's Sturt Desert Pea will last all that long lol

For future reference I've found all the Floral Emblems for Australia Because each of our respective State/Territory websites suck at usefulness

ACT: Royal Bluebell
NSW: Waratah
NT: Sturt's Desert Rose
QLD: Cooktown Orchid
SA: Sturt's Desert Pea
TAS: Blue Gum
VIC: Common Heath
WA: Red and Green Kangaroo Paw
NATIONAL: Golden Wattle

You actually can't pick the ACT's flower Too bad, it's really pretty!

[auss246]

Well I get paid on Thursday and can do a direct bank transfer on that day, is that too late?? I hope everything's organised by then, and I would love to participate in this, Ayu needs to know her Aussie fans love her!

[Earth_maiden]

That would be fine, once I get your payment I'll just chuck it back on my credit card. ^_^

[auss246]

Okay, thankyou very much I'm so excited we're doing this. So I'm just curious, how many people have expressed interest so far?

[Earth_maiden]

From the first post, I think we have 7 confirmed members. If we go with the white roses, I think that would be US $70 (although I can't see any shipping fees, only a service fee, is that the same thing?) so that's around AUD $11 or so each?

But we're still waiting to hear back about the Australian flowers, so its not confirmed yet.

[TheBaronAndAyu]

Unfortunately I can't give any money so I'm not sure I can participate but I wish you all good luck!! I really would love it if Ayu knew that there are people down here who love her

[auss246]

Man I reckon if Aussie flowers were possible, we should do it!! What better way to let her know she has Aussie fans than with our native flowers? Although if it can't be done, I think white roses are a gorgeous and classy gift XD

[Earth_maiden]

Yeah, I really want to send her Aussie flowers too, it would be much more symbolic!

So colourful and... AUSTRALIAN!

I love this arrangement, I really adore kangaroo paws and I think its a pretty well known Australian wildflower... or maybe thats just me. XD

[Earth_maiden]

We could write "Australia loves Ayu!!!" or something like that. XD We all have to agree on what to write! Does everyone want their names on the card?

I like the idea of names personally

Spoiler:

but mostly because then Ayu may recognize my name from the A WORLD IS ONE page xD

However I will put my ego aside for a longer message to Ayu xD

[Earth_maiden]

We'll have to see what everyone's names are and if they'll fit in the message as well. My name is only 6 characters but it depends on how many people can confirm that they can send payment. As long as some members can send me their payment before Tuesday as well...

[kendelle]

Well if you want to order now I'm fine with it, I can still call tomorrow so we have a plan for next time

I guess we're all super excited now and just want to get it over with lol But Tynte will be open in under 12 hours if you guys can wait that long!

Want to send it "From Ayu's Australian fans" or should we give our names in the card? Mine's easy enough Kendelle is my first name xD

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

So I updated the first post with this info:

FINAL DATE FOR JOINING AND PAYMENTS/TRANSFERS OF MONEY: Tuesday 16th of November, 9pm AEST


Everyone participating will get their names in the card that comes with the flowers, maybe just first names since name + surname would be too long??

I'M SOOOO EXCITED!!

[kagami]

I love them both! I had one a lot like the first in my house a while ago and it lasted ages.

I really dunno if I'm going to be able to pay in time though......Would it be possible for me to to do it monday after next when I get paid if I don't have enough money left?

[Earth_maiden]

I'm okay with that kagami, though if you pull out afterward when your name has been included and one of us has covered your payment I don't think it will go down well! XD

I love that one too, aus246! kangaroo paw!! banksias!!

That would be a pretty crappy thing to do. If I can't pay by the deadline I promise to do it afterwards!
