Dotty, you are such a generous and kind person. BUT I have to say I don't understand WHY someone would not be able to send..I can see sending in late due to circumstances, but why would someone not be able to send at all? In my opinion, if life is too busy and you just absolutely can't go shop, raid your stash or whatever, the least one could do is send the package they got to their pal.

I see your generous spirit, Dotty, but we are all adults and need to be responsible.It is not fair to get something in a swap and not swap back. This is what we sign up for when we PM to participate.
Just my opinion for what it's worth.

Dotty

Exactly Dotty. I have 3 people that didn't get a package in November. This is what will keep us from having more swaps.One of the non-senders is a very active board member. What I don't understand is not letting someone know.

Suzanne

Suzanne, did these people have a good reason for not sending? Did they get back to you. I guess I am puzzled at why someone would receive something and not send something back when this is what we sign up to do.

I agree in principle. Just offering back up, for what it is worth.

Like I said, you are just too kind, Dotty. :D
I guess if that is what it'll take for the swap to stay on, I am willing to do it too.

I am so happy to find out from Suzanne that there were only 3 November Swappers and NOT 37 as Bonnie stated that didnt receive their package. That number is certainly more in line with what I counted. It is still a mystery how someone could forget, but just send me a PM with the info and I will see that they get their NOV SWAP GIFTS.

But for an extra PM, everyone would have been happy. Now 95% of us are punished for the actions of 5%...how is this fair?

Good Evening! Been away from home all day with hubby and came home to find a wonderful package in my mailbox. Thanks to msquilter59 for a lovely gift. Included a little bag of precut squares, seam ripper, calendar, chicken Soup for the Soul word finds, quilt pattern (Furrows) and 5 lovely blue and blue and white fabrics. Beautiful!! I'll add them to my stash and eventually find something wonderful to do with them.

Thanks again to Mary (msquilter59) for such a wonderful package!
