Havplenty

we have discussed this topic before but it is always good to discuss again. i am a big proponent of recycling and regifting. i have said this many a time in this swap and any other swaps i have participated in when regifting can be an issue. i regift things i cannot or will not use as i refuse to be a collector of unused items. i have limited space to store things and would want to fill that space with things that i know i will use or if i have duplicates of some things i will pass on the extras. this is my philosphy and it will not change. i let my swap partners know they can do the same with things i send them because i will not be offended.

i can only hope that no secret pal of mine gets offended if they see something they gave me show up in another pals swap gift. i would rather any of my regifting items be used by someone else rather than just sit in a box somewhere unused by me. i have been a recycler all of my adult life so it is a way of life for me. we may all have different opinions about regifting even of handmade items, but surely we cannot expect everyone to feel as we do. but even if some of us may think that others should feel as we do, i am taking the liberty to be unique in my thinking and do differently. so to that i say, "Hi. My name is Mary and i am a regifter."

p.s. to any of my swap pals that may be offended by my regifting philosophy, i issue my sincere apologies to you right now.
