I agree Roseysue! I love seeing what everyone got, and reading a description to go along with the photos because sometimes it is hard to tell what everything is in the photo! I am going to take a picture of everything before I send it off this time too, that way if my pal is unable to post a photo, I can share one for her!
So, I will second what Roseysue said... Please please come and tell us about the goodies you received! We all want to share the excitement!

We want to hear , share in your fun, then it is all a mystery cause the senders aren't telling, so the receivers need to share, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE................
My March SP received her package last week,, told me how happy she was to get it, but all the persuading hasn't gotten her to tell you about it.
I just happened to take a picture before I sent it off so here is what it looked like :

Same with mine, only I haven't even heard from her...she let Suzanne know...so I will tell you all what I sent...she likes cat and dogs so I made a cute pin cushion from the new charm pack from Moda-Max & Whiskers-cute little cat and dog fabric...also made her a scissor fob and put a cross on it since she collects them, put in a pattern and six FQ's of her favorite colors, some buttons and some flavored coffee creamers :)
We really get excited going over the 'wishlist' or 'autobiography' we get and try to do and find things special just for that special person who that month is OUR one to be set apart.
That's what it is all about - the spirit of the game and if there is someone out there who is doing this for any other reason like 'just to do it' and not to get into the fun and excitement of making just one person really special for one month, there is no reason to spoil it for those who really enjoy the fun.
And by the way is there room on that bench for me - I will bring giradelli chocolate mints.
My legs are short, so I will need a seat near the low end of the bench.
Is there room for me? Is there, is there??? :cry:

I'm not sitting on that bench with you gals until it stops raining... chocolate or no chocolate! Weather is just awful here!
It does certainly sound like some people have more fun with this swap than others... maybe it needs to be a requirement that you come to this thread and post? I think there were 180 or so swappers this month and we only hear from a very small percentage of them. I still consider myself somewhat of a newbie here, this is only my third swap, but I try really hard to put alot of thought into what I send and to let my partner know when I get my package and how pleased I am with it. I would be just as sad to never hear from the person that I send to as I would be to not receive a package.

I think its a respect and curtisy thing. If my SP didn't post, or feel the need to show it off. My feelings would be hurt. I took the time, shopped just for you, have the kindness to pat me on the back and say "good job", even if you hate it,LOL!

I know I always sent Thank you PMs and posted pictures.
Still waiting for mine - but haven't gotten mine in mail yet. Will be out on Sat to one of you on the bench. (Hint, hint)
