    That is stinky that so many have not gotten their gifts. I have been lucky and received a great package from Justok and a wonderful response from Mom-6 on the package I sent her. I hope that it is possible to keep track of the ones who did not honor their commitment so that they cannot sign up again. For those who did receive a gift and have not bothered to acknowledge it to their secret pal, that is just rude. It has been fun for so many of us and I hate it for those whose experience has been disappointing.

    Thank you Kathy for the wonderful package. It arrived Friday morning. Will start on the book soon, the fabric looks like it will be fun to use. The pens and the little box they are in is perfect, in fact I am taking a class on Wednesday that I will use them. Every one needs buttons. I love the bracelet. The card was so pretty. You are a very talented person.

    I forgot to put a card in my SP package. I PMed my SP, but haven't heard anything back from her. She doesn't post much at all and I sent it priority. My Doll Quilt was sent further across the country and arrived yesterday, so my SP should have received hers yesterday. I am hoping I hear something by Monday.

    I haven't received anything this month, nor have I received a message letting me know it is on it's way (which would be kinda nice to know.)

    BTW - Last week, I was sent a book I bought on Ebay and the sender paid quite a bit extra for signature confirmation. (It cost her $7.25 to send me a book that only cost me $10.00... so she made only $2.75 on the book). Anyway, I received it on a Saturday (when I was home) and the signature barcode had been scribbled on and the package was shoved into my mailbox. I never even saw the post man. I was pretty upset. The postman had to have lied on his paperwork that I signed for it. I am wondering if the same could be true for "delivery confirmation."

    Glad you liked it! After I mailed it I went on the board and saw a post by you that you were out of the area for the week and woultn't be back til the 28th. I thought " Oh darn, I just missed her!" But I knew the surprise would wait until you came back, and it did!

    No package in yesterday's mail. Hopefully it is just late and not lost. Keeping my fingers crossed for next week! Already signed up for September Swap. I am having so much fun with this, even if people sign up then don't send, that's not going to stop me. I hope it doesn't stop others either from signing up.

    I have to admit that I am probably one of those who won't sign up again if I get burned. It does take the fun out of the whole swap when members don't follow through on their commitment, or when those who receive packages don't have the courtesy to post a thank you. :cry: :cry:
