I have mailed my SP's pkg on Monday, May 9th to Canada...one of the items she collects is Santa Claus'...I have been concerned and hope it isn't lost...she likes mint chocolates.....hmmmmm...and her last name begins with H.....[/quote]
Hmm ... this sounds like this squishy could be coming to me ... as all of the clues are definitely me!!!
I will be on the lookout and stocking my mail lady hoping she is coming my way ... but if you mailed it on the 9th and it is coming to me ... it may take another week and a half there abouts .... as it usually it takes about 10 - 14 business days.
On another note I just got back from the postal and my SP should be receiving their squishy by Wednesday ... it is not going to far from me and it is in Canada ... so whoever is in Canada be on the look out!!!! :)

I never would have thought to include these. thanks for the idea!!

All I would like to say on this comment is, I don't think any one is worrying about what someone else recieved.
It's just some of us newbies, don't know exactly how this works and when someone says only spend $10.00, well (as for myself) the first time only spent $10.00 and thought we couldn't use our stash and thats how I was reading the rules and then when all these SP packages came in it's like wow!! I'm so embarrass cause I only sent a couple of item's, I'm not expecting, praised or even a thank you, just like to be notified that my package was recieved...I love to give when able too and enjoy the friendships that could be made....So I don't think I join for all the wrong reason!!!! (Sorry if I felt like this was meant for me) but I think your post was just a little harsh!! :-)

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.

Our mail lady is out and out creepy. She leaves me little "love" notes on my mail, like "no packages today". What??? I want my bills and personal mail in my mail box. I want my packages on my doorstep. Is it really that hard? I have called my local PO and last time the idiot supvr called me back and didn't leave his number and I have to confess *I* lost it and it took me almost an hour to get it the first time...
Enough about my weird mail lady, on to the nice swap and lovlely swap partners and packages!!
