I woke up today feeling my chest heaving and I've been coughing lately so I took the day off and find I have bronchitis with asthma. $75 later I am heavily medicated. I have an EKG and a heart monitor I have to put on for 24 hours in Nov. and they give me CODEINE! I am totally a wreck that's for sure. Great packages but please pm Lori AND your SP that you have received it.

I have asked that if you are going to have to mail late to please contact me. I have had a few who have told me that they had to mail late and why and I understand that there are things that come up. But as hostess I think that I deserve the respect of a message that you are mailing late and an answer to a private message sent to you from me. As time goes on I can see just why Suzanne quit. :-(
PACKAGES NEED TO BE SENT OUT BY October 14th this is a FIRM deadline (NOT A SUGGESTION). If for some reason you cannot mail by the 14th and are considering not signing up, then send me a private message and we can see if it can be worked out. IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT MAIL BY THAT DATE, PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP. You can send your package as early as you'd like!
I agree with Lori, going to a craft fair 5 days AFTER the deadline is NO reason to be mailing late. If you want to get something at the craft fair for a swap- make it for a future swap
Lori you gave very clear expectations in the opening directions, and when people are being so very disrespectful of you and your time they absolutely deserve the consequences you have laid out----that they should be prohibited from future swaps. And anyone that planned to mail on time and had a legitimate reason for delay-the very least should be pming you and replying asap. I support you in any way you decide to follow through on those that do not follow the rules. IMHO they are the reason the rules needed to be laid out in the first place.

My problem is that the person I sent my package to has not posted on the chat thread, she did sent me a PM saying she had received the package and liked it, but apparently did not send one to Lori, so all Lori knows is that I said I mailed my package off on time.
So I am encouraging everyone to please, PM the sender that you received the package, put a short note on the chat thread, pictures are nice but are not neccessary and please PM Lori STAT, first of all.
