I don't want my secret pal to be concerned that I haven't received my package yet. We had a terrible storm and nearly 500,000 customers were without power (some of them still are). I'm sure I will received it in the next few days.
Lori, I am so appreciative of what you do. It is an impossible job pleasing everyone. But I think you do a GREAT job keeping the majority very happy and thankful for this swap and all your hard work.
I don't mind the chatter. You all are my friends and I love hearing what's going on in your lives.
I think regifting is just fine, except for handmade items. I was hurt when my 1st secret pal regifted a mug rug that I had made especially for her the very next month. I would never regift a handmade item. Everything else is fair game, imho.
