The snow knew I had to get to the post office, so it rested for a day and my package is in the mail. Going a little down south, what was that state Patti Paige waltzed in????????

It is sad... if you look at the activity page for the November swap you will see that 39 did NOT receive packages and 93 did... That's actually about 30% who did NOT send to their secret pals... hard to believe, isn't it?

We do go ahead and contact people to send out extra packages but it is a long and tiring process to do that, etc. Everybody, if they tell us, will get something. I know that Suzanne sent out three, I sent out four, and yes, I even asked others to send it out so we do use our backup elves. Couldn't do it wthout them.

That just seems so unfair to you, Suzanne, and the others who have already done more than their part.

Let's hope the statistics for December's swap are much better.

I sent out my secret pal gift today. Wanted to send it out earlier but wasn't able to get to the po. It is winging its way across the Atlantic to the United Kingdom. Don't know how long it takes but the po said it might be there before Christmas. I certainly hope so and I hope she likes it.

Also my package came today from SLHughes (Stacey) It didn't have far to come as we both live in Alberta except that she lives in the south and I live in the middle. It was wonderful. She sent along a lovely letter about herself and her family and I discovered that we have a lot in common besides quilting. She has 3 kids and I only have 2 but we both have sons who work on the oil rigs and our daughters are/were involved with horses and we both have dogs (different breeds). I loved all the items she sent. 4 lovely fq's, a pattern, a magnetic shopping list, pins, thread, manicure set, jelly belly candies and chocolate. My DGS (6 yrs old) thinks my secret pal is super terrific! (I think he was eyeing the edible treats at the time! LOL) Thank you so very much! I really enjoyed this.

This was my first secret pal swap and I really enjoyed it. I am sorry to hear that we won't be doing it anymore. Too bad some people had to ruin it for everyone else!:cry: :thumbdown: :-(
