I know our mail lady does some bizarre stuff with our mail and so I'm not 100% sure a delivery confirmation means the package was given to my SP, just that it was delivered somewhere.
I would never dis a package, but I will always acknowledge it got here and thank my SP. I like including a little note about me, who I am, what we do, etc to increase the friendship part.
And no, I would hate to see the swap go away. Even tho this is only my 3rd month at it, I have enjoyed putting together my packages a lot. I have a lot of fun, trying to stay under $10 while pulling things from my stash, from discount stores and places like Harbor Freight, Tuesday Morning and quilt shops with coupons.

Well I am not home to get my package this month.( I am in Tennessee) My GD is checking the mail for me she is 10. Hopefully I won't have to sign for anything the postman brings. My GD is excited to be checking for the Squishie, she was with me last month when I received my package we were both excited. She loved all the gifts. So if I don't respond right away Please forgive me. As soon as she calls to let me know your package came I will thank you.

Rhonda, Patti and everyone else, I gree about the packages. I started participating in this swap since July, and I have never got a package that I felt wasn't enough...I have loved them all, because of the thought and effort that went into them for one and many of the items have been very useful to me as a new quilter, and I ruporpose what I can't use...it is all fun and exciting and a great way to connect.
That being said, I do know that some people are not in these swaps to connect, I have had some SP that sent me great packages, but when I PMed to thank them about it, I never got a reponse...their choice of course, both parties fullfiles their offical duties so to speak, so no harm done. Just wanted to throw that out there.
And hey bench sitters, I am joining you this month with my husband's famous freshly squeezed lemonade. :P It is a glorious day in the Sunshine State today!

As packages dont have to be sent out till tomorrow I wont be joining you on the bench until a couple weeks later if I haven't received mine by then as I have way to much spring house cleaning to do!!! :!:
