I also try my best to get my swap mailed early. Saying that I did have problems last winter. It was hard to get out because of ice. Things do happen.Most everyone sends a swap even if it is a little late.I don't think there has been many to not send at all.I think this is one of the most reliable swaps I've been in. Lynnie, I hope you get to post the pictures.I also would like to see them,You know I love pictures. lol
