Jaba, so sorry to hear about your upcoming surgery! I will love whatever I get from whomever's name is my Secret Santa. It is fun to get to know people on here and participate in the light hearted banter, but posting isn't mandatory, or it would have been included in the beginning rules? I've participated in many of the doll quilt swaps in the past and sometimes you chat and chat with your partner and sometimes they just aren't as chatty...just the way things go sometimes...so sorry you've been hurt by comments. If mine have offended, please forgive me.
