These ladies have either sent in all the candies on time or 1 late arrival. I am giving the benefit of doubt to the one late because of mailing or maybe a birthday girl did not post promptly. (Janice McC has already received from them too!)

Thanks ladies for making my job easy.

Yay for us! I hope every one in this list is going to be in the next swap! :)

Here's my 'secret' for being on time... 1) Get the packages ready ahead of time and have them waiting in a bin, 2) Mail out as soon as Barb posts the birthday addresses for that month.

It's as simple as that! And nobody feels forgotten on their birthday. Cards that arrive AFTER the birthday just don't have the same "joy factor".

So tomorrow is my birthday and I've received another package this weekend. My thank you to MichelleSews. That one is number 26. I'm hoping the remaining 3 arrive tomorrow so I can open them all! My big "plan" is to wait until the mail runs and then sit with a lovely cup of coffee or hot cocoa and open every single one in a fell swoop. I love having those wonderful envelopes open and all the happy wishes spread before me on the table. It feels wonderful. Cannot wait until tomorrow! I'll post pix for sure!

Is this for the Feb. Birthdays? If so I've sent in all 3 that was PM in my inbox.

I sent all 3 at the same time. Don't know why my name isn't on here too.

Janice McC - Patiently waiting a whole year - you are the best! Wishing you a warm hot toddy as your open all your non-fattening candy, with visions of patterns floating in your head.

Thank you TG but it's more like I'm an expert at delayed gratification. Oooh, this afternoon I open them!
