Unbelivable!!!! Here we are after all these swaps and still having this problem of PMing the host.I wouldn't blame Lori for quitting like the others did. I sure hope she doesn't.This shouldn't be such a stressful job for Lori and she shouldn't have to get so Pi..ed off about it.I know I get soo mad reading this same mess every month. Please DON'T sign up if your not going to mail on time or PM Lori when you send AND RECIEVE YOUR PACKAGE.I'm sorry you have to go through this Lori. You do such a wonderful job even with this mess.Bless your little ole pea pickin heart. Hugs Mary

Hugs to you and do let me know if I can do anything to help you.

I'm glad you are doing this for us Lori and I can imagine how frustrating it is. When it isn't fun any longer, then it gets to be a chore. Cut the swap down to what you can handle and for those that you know that do participate fully and follow your rules. If that is how it has to be, then that is how it has to be. If someone else wants to run another one, that is their choice.

Thank you for a wonderful box. The 3 panels are gorgeous. The red and purple fat quarters are great and so is the floral fabric. The handmade pumpkin is precious and sure comes in handy for this season. I also received the slipppers, a basket, a candle, a magazine, big chocolate bar, storage container, note cards and pocket calendar.
What a delight!!!

first of all lori, thanks so much for all you do for this swap, it is not an easy job and we are so glad you do it, and you do it well...
second: it is in the rules that a swapper will not be able to participate next month if they do not follow the rules!! so lori....do not let them participate next month (i bet you hear from them pronto when they get THAT pm!!)...
third, to all swappers who do not follow the rules: i get my name, and i do whatever is necessary to get my package ready on time, in the mail on time and pm lori on time..i know a majority of people in this swap do the same thing..it is not fair to US that you are messing with our swap.....so i am encouraging lori to ban you from next months swap.....we need her to lead this swap, and you are not going to ruin it for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS LORI!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!

See Lori, many of us would support whichever decision you make, well, except quitting, lol. And I realize things happen to prevent people from mailing on time, but communication is the key...and as Lori and others say, it has to be a valid reason, not just because. Imagine if everyone just decided to ignore the deadline and mail whenever? What a chaos that would be. Surely we can't expect Lori to mange such a thing, it is not her paid job.
On a fun note, wow, what great packages have been received!! Walk n roll, that sunflower tea towel is awesome. And Ann, that floral panel is just gorgeous!
Myrna, what is that tea you sent Wanda Lou? Never met a tea I didn't like, lol, but always looking for a new addition.
