I wonder if some people just don't have digital cameras. In that case, they couldn't post pictures if they wanted to.
This is my favorite swap of all 3 I am in. The correspondence is so much fun to follow and I do agree that pictures are a huge part of the fun. Maybe we should all just take a picture of what we send before we send it and then, if someone doesn't post, we can after a proper waiting time. I haven't done that but will in the future. My secret pal's autobiography was so positive and so bright and cheery, I can't imagine her not saying something or sending a picture if she can.
I didn't realize the importance of a picture for my first few swaps either so maybe these notes will stir someone to do so.
Yeah, we don't NEED thanks, but it sure is lovely to receive and as Roseysue said, we do shop JUST FOR THAT PERSON to make it extra special.
