Barb, I gave you that information in private to keep the nastiness out of this group. And it wasn't "many", it was only four. I was trying to save you from embarrassment, but I guess you felt the need to bring this out to the open. That's a shame.

Barb is a great hostess when she was present, and now that she is back in her game, I am sure she will be again. With the issues I had trying to get a hold of her, both in the room and in private pm, I think having her number is a great idea, because even when not here, she would be able to be reached. I'm glad she agreed.


I have a heavy heart in doing this, but I am going to leave this swap. I just have no desire to be a part of pettiness. And to be honest, I am quite soured over it.

Barb was kind enough to forward me the addresses. I will mail everyone's envelopes out when I return to the US, so don't fear you will not receive your candies from me

I have made some dear friends here on the board and I hope to stay in touch with many of you.

Enjoy your swap and take care.

My address has changed since last year's swap. I'll let Barb know so nothing gets sent back as undeliverable.

Barb you’re doing a terrific job and have for the many years you’ve hosted this swap. Your personal phone number....?? Please this is a volunteer job and you do have a life other than this board. This thread has always been wonderful please don’t try to change it ladies! Thank you so much for the time and trouble it takes Barb to put it all together every year

I agree with Jaba, beautifully stated. I went back and looked at the first post on this thread -- Barbara and our "contract" to what would happen this year. Barbara has more than done what she promised and I'm quite thankful for her time and energy.
