I didn't get my swap, so I'll enjoy the fruit and pretzels. I said I would bring taco dip tonight. Hope you like it. I'm going to a craft fair tomorrow if the roads aren't black ice or snow covered. It's that time of year. I don't hide behind anything, I have to go to the post office. I think I am driving my post mistress crazy, not really we are good friends.

Yeah !!! one more done.Don't forget we all wanna see those pictures tomorrow. I sent a secret angel package to someone and it should be there mon or maybe tues. So hang in there they are on there way. When the angels are sent in it takes a little longer as we need to get your name, make up a package and try to personalize it a little bit.Then post it.Lori always makes sure everyone gets a swap. How many are left waiting??? Mary
|
I'm so glad we have Angels here.
|
Sorry to hear it is cold on the bench for you ladies that are still patiently waiting. I will send some of the warm and wonderful weather your way, as we were up to 70 degrees today and sunny weather. Hang in there ladies.
|
yippee for you (jumping up & down)!!!!!! can't wait to see your goodies. yes angels are special.:thumbup:

I just want everyone to know that I am off the bench today because of onaemtnest~Onalee. She was my angel for Nov swap. She sent the most amazing pkg. Everything was just perfect. I am so very thankful for her generosity and caring. She took a lot of time researching to get everything just right. I will try to post pictures tomorrow of my amazing pkg. I couldn't be happier. Onalee you are special!:):)
|
I am so sorry to see that some of you are still sitting on the bench..Hopefully, your packages will come soon..Diana
|

My Angel pkg
2 Attachment(s)
I am trying to post a picture of the secret pal pkg from my angel onaemtnest/Onalee. She sent me beautiful fabric. I guess about 1/2 yd each, a snowman and sewing notion tree ornament, chicken buttons, huckleberry jam, potato cookbook, yo-yos, and lindt truffles(not in pic). I ate them on my way to a craft fair. Everything was wonderful and so appreciated.
|
Lovely Package toomanyUFO's. I love the yo-yo garland. I can see that on my tree ( which is sitting in front of me naked now)
|
Aww isn't that little tree so cute. Pretty fabrics and yo yo's
|
Deby Pm adress I'll send you some!!!
|
I just checked the delivery info on someone's package and it is in your state not far from your town. I bet they deliver it tomorrow.It's for someone who doesn't post alot. But I seen the person on here just a day or 2 ago.That's all the clues. Sorry.Oh and it's way west of me. Mary
|
Hopefully everyone will be taken care of tomorrow
|
Dwina great package that you received. I see you got some sunflower fabric which is perfect for you. Here's hoping everyone else gets off the bench tomorrow.
|
How sad today is the 5th of Dec and still have Not recieved a thankyou from Partner she recieved it about 23rd of nov.
|
Aww Quiltymom,I'm sorry some don't play fair. I would like to thank you and everyone else that does play fair.It make us able to continue with the swap and have fun doing it.Hopefully the rest of you will get your swaps today. Guess we need to wait and see. Good Luck. Mary
|
That is just not right. I did not get a thank you once and thought of pm'ing her, but didn't. Didn't complain to Lori either as I thought she had enough on her plate. A thank you is such a simple thing to do.

Hi Toomanyufo's....I'm so privileged to have been asked by Lori to be an Angel and to make someones day, my heart smiled, giggled and soared with her lovely PM of thank-you! I loved getting your package around and will look forward to getting to know you even better. I think that is what the swaps mean to me to have a more personal touch with another member on the forum.
Hopefully one day there won't be a need for Angels to follow through where other's drop the committment. Just remember ladies those that receive, and don't respond in kind by sending out what they promised, have to look in the mirror and see themselves, I surmise not a pretty reflection. |
