      All swapper notifications have been sent out! If you haven’t gotten yours, check your email spam folder or PM’s here on the forum. If you replied by email, you got a reply by email. If you replied by PM, you received a PM back.

      Have fun, let me know when you ship (so I can keep track), and post photos when you receive your goodies! No need wait until Dec. 3rd to ship (unless you want to). You can ship when you are ready. We didn’t have any participants this year outside of the US, just as an FYI for anyone curious.

      *scampers off to start shopping*

            Awesome! Four other packages are now out in the wind on their way to recipients. :bigsmile: We have a total of 16 participants (for anyone keeping count). I will finish mine over the holiday weekend and get mine out next week. πŸ™‚

              Hey LadyFirebird!
              So glad you liked everything! And, I think I’m going to order some of the items from Purple Cat’s Creations for myself later… they really look neat (and not just the Bath items!).

              Enjoy! πŸ™‚

                I got mine today! Yay!

                Fun story about it, too… the other day, I got an email from UPS telling me that I’d be getting a package from David’s Cookies. I racked my brain, trying to figure out why… did I sign up for some blog giveaway and then forget? I had no idea, hah! But I knew they’d arrive today, and all I could think when I drove home from work was “Yay, cookies!” (And also “My neighbors better not have taken my package of cookies!” lol)
                So, I was quite delighted to get them, and moreso when I opened the packing slip and realized that they were from my Windstone Secret Santa! πŸ™‚ Thank you so much, Darjeb! I’ve already eaten three… having cookies for dinner is acceptable, right? πŸ˜‰

                Some photos…

                And they come in a nice tin, too!


                Nom nom nom!

                Thank you again! <3

                  I love everything I received from Bodine but I can’t figure out how to make photobucket work anymore. It used to be easy to use and they made it difficult. I especially love that Foo Pup but everything she sent was great. Spanky (my unspoiled? chow, of course) loved the Dentastix she sent him. I think it is fantastic that when you know the person whose name you have has a pet and that pet is remembered. That is the second time someone remembered him in the Secret Santa exchange and I appreciate the thought very much

                    Yes, I know… I hate starting such things before Halloween, but the end of the year seems to move fast. Also, I wanted to give people a little extra time to sign up, as some people aren’t as active on the forum every single day or week and my schedule has been more than a little hectic this year as well. The ship times are relatively the same as last year though to help allow for international participants. πŸ™‚

                    Thank you very much for doing this I know everybody participating is thankful

                      Glad you liked them. I felt a little guilty just ordering something thru the mail for you but I had to have a sudden minor surgery that limited me a little and I had to look for something online since I couldn’t go shopping for a short time.

                      If you want a photo posted, just email it and I can post it up for you. If you’re interested, I can also send you the steps on how to post from photobucket now (with screenshots).

                        Eek, surgery! That’s no fun!
                        Don’t worry at all… I adore cookies, so it was perfect! They are super tasty, and a great variety of types. I might have eaten one for breakfast this morning… lol πŸ˜‰
