this topic has been discussed several times for this as well as other swaps. no matter how many times it gets discussed, there will only be so many who will post public thank you's or pictures and there will be many others who will not post either. to continue to keep swapping fun for me, i have released my expectations of public acknowledgement and as long as my swap pal sends me a pm (which sometimes can be like pulling teeth) of receipt i decided will be happy.
i realize it is not possible for me to require others to wear my expectations so for happiness sake, i stopped trying. lori is doing her best to make sure the required pm's are sent and i'm grateful for that. sometimes you may not hear anything and be left wondering. as to the packages i mail out i try to send things i think my swap partners will like(with help doing all the same research post methods) realizing that how i "see" things with my eyes may not be the same that they "see" with theirs. and even that should not be a problem because there is always the art of regifting or collecting. i am less a collector than a regifter and i encourage my swap partners to feel the freedom to regift things i send without fear of hurt feelings.
