what's a blue coat-- other than a navy pea coat--??
i love the "if you don't like it, hang it" attitude.
you know, brat, i can't remember either if it's secret . hopefully we will be reminded. when you have an international swap partner you need as much time as you can get ahead of time or they get their stuff too late to share. and that's not as much fun. to look at it another way, you don't have to share the limelight if you get yours late, but maybe fewer people come back to see it? i was in a swap where my poor partner had her entire family go into crises and the poor girl took months to get back to me. it happens, certainly not by design, but it happens. she did successfully finish the swap and i would gladly swap with her again.
