Okay, apologies to one of my secret pals. When I type the address into the USPS site to print a label, it autocorrects I and I hit accept without looking at the correction closely. My package was delivered to the wrong PO BOX in the wrong city. It is on its way back to me. I will remail. So sorry SP.

I want Verna2197 as my SP next month! I absolutely love the pieces she embroidered and since I celebrate Christmas as a Christian, I really think they should come to me! 
How's that for being bold and forthright?
Hav4boys -- I'm so sorry you ended up with rude and uncaring recipients this month. To have two not acknowledge the gifts is incredible. When I'm in that situation (rarely, thank goodness), I initiate a Post Office package search as I go by the principal that if someone doesn't acknowledge a gift then they didn't get it. That often shames the person into responding.
Krystyna -- you just started back in the swap, you can't skip December. Santa would not be happy!
Vitality -- your package was just great. Well.... except it didn't contain any chocolate. But other than that, you did good. When I first started out with these swaps, my packages were rather skimpy as I didn't have much of a stash nor extra notions hanging around. But within 18 months, I now have a plastic tub filled to overflowing with items to give to my SPs. The trick is to buy on sale AND to make up a few small homemade items. Lately folks have been getting chicken pincushions or mug rugs from me as that's what I've been crafting -- cheap and easy to make. A few months ago, folks were receiving the 10 minute tablerunners. Who knows where my interests will be in another few months?

Oh for heaven's sake -- what's with the censorship?? Will our eyes burn out of our heads if we see a funny picture? Are there lawyers lurking on the website just waiting for someone to post a picture that could result in "copyright" infringements, giving them a chance to wipe out QB with fines and legal fees? With events the past month or so, we can all use a laugh. I'm sure a website concerned with sewing and being accessed mostly by grandmother-type people (ie. the over 50 crowd) isn't a major concern to the powers of the world. Was there a pm explaining why the picture was deleted, giving the poster a chance to modify it; or was it just rudely removed with a comment implying the poster was guilty of some major crime for all to see. C'mon folks, how bad could it have been?
