Ah Quiltymom....I'm so sorry that your SP hasn't followed the guidelines much less have the manners to take the time to write and acknowledge what I'm sure was a well thought out package sent by you.
I along with Mary will say thank-you, it won't be the same but I acknowledge your kindness and commitment in sending the November package out to another member. You are sweetie for doing that. Maybe 'just' maybe life has dealt a blow to your SP. As my husband always says...."Give other people the benefit of the doubt" oh sigh, that is hard for me to do sometimes...but maybe just maybe a thank-you and explaination will still come your way. Until then huggers and a big Thank-You from me to you!!!!!! |

It might be that your SP didn't realize that it was a guideline to send a thank-you....the SP should have had the manners without the guidelines but bottom line....JMHO here, the basic guidelines are simple enough. Should a partner not follow through, Lori can contact that SP and ask them to follow through and should they continue to abuse the guidelines, I don't think they should be allowed to participate in this GREAT SWAP. |

You are welcome. I so agree you have been extraordinarily busy with everything you have explained in your post. The difference between you and the SP that hasn't 'found the time' to write a quick thank-you and you... is that you have the manners to make sure a kindness is acknowledged. I too, would like to extend my deepest condolences in the loss of you Mom. Also know that I pray that your youngest son's medical issues are under control. Your friend is blessed to have you for a friend to help in her time of need. You yourself lady must be one very special Angel indeed. With Warmest Smiles and Hugs..... |
Onalee, no- you are not out of line. Let me explain my thinking... my brother was diagnosed with multiple myeloma 4 yrs ago and he depended on me to go with him and his wife to the doctors and things that they needed help with around the house... or to sit with him while his wife worked. They lived 2 hours away and between working myself and driving to him constantly took a toll on me. I understand very well what Marty is going through and I understand even more what Lori is going through trying to be there for Marty. At the time this is the decision I made and I am sure I would do it again. God bless you Lori and for anyone else on this board that is taking care of a freind or relative. I feel I am a much better person for the things my brother taught me during his struggle.

Hi Karen....I may be out of line here, and you didn't ask for advice....but I think Lori should be notified when people don't follow the guidelines. I agree with your kindness in not wanting to burden Lori with this. But if we aren't forthright in telling her she'll never know and won't have the option of correcting wrong behavior.

Janice I am so sorry that your package took so long to get to you. Thank you for posting the photo (well done). I love Celtic Crosses and always try to see if there are any when I am away somewhere else in Ireland. My 11 year old picked out the sheep thimble (we call them wolly jumpers here as they jump out in front of the car) |

Carrot I just made them up. There is no real pattern. I made a couple (twice as big) for pin cushions this last spring. I gave them as swap pal gifts.Then when I joined the ornament swap I decided to make some little ones. I think they turned out cute if you don't look too close. Mary

Mary, that was a very nice angel swap. I just love the little sewing machine. It is so cute
|
Will have to check when I get to Marty's but I believe that this clears the board except perhaps for one......I will let you know later today.
|
I DO want to know when you do not receive a thank you, it bothers me to thnk that people are getting hurt by this exchange.
