My swap is being mailed out this week. I apologize for the lateness (I had to leave it with a relative to mail this week, as I out of state until next week). I do hope the recipient likes the piece and it was worth the wait though. The last few weeks have been more than a little chaotic personally and emotionally with some personal matters, aside from colds and throwing out my shoulder (I do hope 2018 sweeps all that away!) and I apologize for not getting it out sooner. I do have photos with me if I need to post anything remotely once it is received.
Bodine, your person sending to you replied that your gift has been mailed (it went out very late) and should arrive a few days after Christmas.
We have three boxes we have either not heard confirmation from the recipient here (but have delivery confirmation via tracking information) or no confirmation of any kind. I have messaged those three people.
I received my lovely wolf a few days ago from Rylorien. The weather has been so dreary here the last few days with snow and freezing rain, I couldn’t get proper pictures until this morning. I love the little maple leaf eye patch! Her name is ‘Momiji’. Thank you so much! ^_^
I unexpectedly spent a trip to the ER this past week and a couple of days with limited mobility in my right arm (don’t fall on your back figure skating….I don’t recommend it at all) until I could get muscles to ease up and a few trips to the chiropractor delaying me further. My swap piece will be mailed out right after Christmas, the recipient will have it by end of the week.
Oh! I don’t have to host it elsewhere? (been fighting trying to do this all week to post my photos up…. *sigh*).
Well then, here are the photos of the package I received like, 2+ weeks ago from whisker hunter west! She even thought of my dogs (who loved their gifts btw)! Thank you again and I apologize for the long delay in posting images up (I’m so used to using photobucket… I didn’t realize we could post directly up to the forum, or completely forgot…. probably both).
Opening the package…..
For the pups!
For me!
I apologize that mine will go out later this week, so it ‘might’ arrive just after Christmas because of the holiday rush. Last week was hell with work and I’ve been sick all weekend, only made worse by my insistence that I would go to my last ice skating lesson of the year at the rink today. I’m pretty certain I’ve sealed my fate in this either becoming bronchitis or pneumonia. I’m staying out of the cold as much as possible the next few days (I was only exposed to the cold for 3 hours today and it escalated from just a small cough to hard to breathe and extremely hoarse in only a few hours). I’m calling the doctor first thing for an appointment.
I’ll try to get photos of my box posted up tomorrow. Finally offloaded the photos, but work/projects have been crazy and I’m fending off a cold.
Remember to post pictures once you receive your package and your secret santa’s name, so we know you got your package! ^_^
Sign-ups are officially CLOSED.
We have 9 people participating this year! ^_^ I have just sent out notifications to everyone.
Remember to put your forum name in the package you send to the person you are gifting for (so they know who sent them the package of goodies!), notify me when you ship (so I can keep track/swap management purposes), and to post a picture here when you receive your package so we can all see what fun things you received!
Dates to remember:
November 23rd, 2017 (Thurs/US Thanksgiving Day)– The last day to notify me of a back-up need
December 2nd, 2017 (Sat) — Last Day to put packages in the mailHave fun! ^_^
Don’t worry about getting hung up on the questions. I just use the list that CrimsonVision used when she started the swap years ago. It’s just so people have an idea of what sorts of things a person might like or not like and any interests they may have. Definitely does not have to be Windstones (most gifts aren’t), since the price range is smaller. It’s just supposed to be fun. I’ve seen everything from ornaments, books, t-shirts, magazine subscriptions, plush, handmade things, store bought things, candy, food, candles, occasionally a smaller Windstone….
