When you make up a special package for someone, it's nice to receive an acknowledgement. She has posted elsewhere. Now I don't feel bad that I forgot to put her candy in the package and ate it myself. Oh well. :(

If you check the sign up list for your name or the person you sent to you can see if they posted recieving a swap. Seems only proper and friendly to at least send a thank you.Very cute apron sent. When you take the time to make something special it hurts more when your not even told they recieved it.Some have posted they will be gone,so give them some time.Also today is the final day to send out a swap with out being late.I see some are appologizing for being late even though they sent out today. It's not late yet. lol Lori tends to catch alot of heck about this time of the swap. She was kind enough to step up to this task of running our swap. So please remember to be a little patient and follow the rules. Also a thank you to Lori is always nice. Lecture over.lol. have a good day and enjoy your swaps. Mary

i am sure as a child it seems so unfair and it's hard to understand. but once you are an adult, i am a big believer that you should start your own traditions.
one of my nephews is so stymied by the fact that his birthday wasnt a big to do while he was growing up but his mother had a large family and i am sure it was because of finances. he gets so upset when you talk to him about his birthday so i asked him what has he done to celebrate his birthday since he left home and didnt he know that he can do whatever he wants now. he is puzzled by that thought. so this year for his birthday (jul 12) i am taking him zip lining over the meramec caverns as a surprise. hopefully this will be the beginning of a tradition for him.
I am Dec 26.... growing up it was no fun.

Wow she really did pack that box! just kept finding more stuff to pull out. I got a bunch of different fabrics, some really nice smelling candles (I love candles!) Just a little bit of everything. Cutest little scissors. I had seen those bird scissors, but had never bought one. Now I have a pair and they are really pretty!
**Pay no attention to the half eaten candy. I plead the 5th, me and the kids just had to dig into them.
Thank you thank you!!
