    I wonder if some people just don't have digital cameras. In that case, they couldn't post pictures if they wanted to.

    This is my favorite swap of all 3 I am in. The correspondence is so much fun to follow and I do agree that pictures are a huge part of the fun. Maybe we should all just take a picture of what we send before we send it and then, if someone doesn't post, we can after a proper waiting time. I haven't done that but will in the future. My secret pal's autobiography was so positive and so bright and cheery, I can't imagine her not saying something or sending a picture if she can.

    I didn't realize the importance of a picture for my first few swaps either so maybe these notes will stir someone to do so.

    Yeah, we don't NEED thanks, but it sure is lovely to receive and as Roseysue said, we do shop JUST FOR THAT PERSON to make it extra special.

    I'll be sitting on the bench with you gals in spirit. Much too busy today making DH's request for biscotti and going to exercise class and sewing, all while anticipating the arrival of my package. The one I sent out was received yesterday, so I can breathe easily. I always worry about it being lost in space!!! This is a wonderful swap. The participants on this board are great. And, Suzanne - I am so grateful to you and your angels for all your caring and hard work to make this nice for everyone despite those who take advantage. You go above and beyond!!! Thanks.

    I'm sure that many of the participants are first-timers. I did not know I should post a picture my first time, and did not do so, so perhaps this would partially explain the lack of photos. But I quickly learned that to do so was exciting, and posted the 2nd time.

    I can't figure out how to post my pictures I take. I take one every month.also take one of what I send.But they just don't show up when I try to post them.I think they are in the wrong format and don't know if it can be changed. It is always exciting to see the pictures on here ,the items look different.
