And since I am playing on this thread all the time, I must explain myself. I am not in any way trying to demand a package or push my partner or be difficult in any other way. I just love waiting and antcipiating my package as much as I love getting it, and watching for hints and analyzing SP data is a hobby of mine. I apologize if I offended anyone, but I really do enjoy stalking. :P And I am hired by a few people to do it too :XD:

Yummy circus peanuts, and a TON of sugar daddys and butterscotch candies that were all tucked in with the red buttons in the gingerbread bag! A pink snap locking box with cute unique kitty scissors!, Oh now Regina I forgot to thank you for the handy pen sized tool, it has a flatend and a phillips! But I am going to have to admit now I want a cupcake, wonder were I could find one at Midnight? Well I definitely have no calories ones! A nice kitchen towel and matching notebook! OK enough, on with the photos!!

I am also sorry if anyone got their knickers in a twist over my comments here. They are all meant in fun. The stalking, the waiting, the bench sitting with various and sundry snacks are part of the game.
That being said, before I am condemned to death:
I have loved every single package I got from my partners except for one which had a food item that was expired by a couple of years and that was literally full of bugs. That is where my bug comments come from. Don't PM and ask me who or what or when because I will not say. I know the person who sent it did his or her best and did not intend the package to be quite so disgusting. It would have been very nice except for the bugs -- and old food item.
Like a few kind souls on this board, I have sent out more angel packages than I can count at this point --not just to SP participants either. September is only half over and I've already shipped six and am putting together two more. It's no fun for anyone to wait and wait and wait - sometimes for nearly two months - and it is also disappointing when you put a lot of thought into your partner's package and get one that is extremely skimpy or full of stuff that indicates your partner clearly didn't read anything you wrote and just slapped something together. I think that Lori showed how you can put together an outstanding package for less than $10 and that is part of the fun. Being thoughtful is the fun and caring part for me, anyway.
It really is fun to see photos of what you've sent to someone else, but sometimes I understand it doesn't happen because there is a lack of a camera or technological know-how. AND it never happens with Angel packages which is part of the deal. The fun is in putting together a surprise package. BUT not even getting a thank you PM really stinks -- whether it is from your SP or for an angel package. I will admit it. After a string of non-response recipients, I do get annoyed and hurt by the sheer rudeness. But then I pull up my big girl knickers and get on with it.
Is it negative to set up a bench for the month with a table and snacks? I don't think so - and I'm not the one who started it.
So you want to set up the lynch mob to string me up by the toes? Go right ahead. I am such a mean, horrible person.
