I was able to catch up on some blog reads and also spy around on my 2 swap pals :) I'm in the Fall Felted Bag Exchange and the Knit 1 Tea too Swap..getting lots of info on teas from there. Never knew there was so much about tea to know. I've already got a few things for my Tea pal, thinks she's gonna be surprised, I hope!
I finished up and mailed out my Knitter Virtual Vacation Swap package, in fact delivery conformation said it got there on Monday the 27th. I don't expect to hear from that pal at all...last time she wrote was July 8, I'm just glad that one is over with. I'm just waiting for my Virtual Vacation package to come in. I at least still have something to be excited about..I'm posting the pic of what I did send out to my pal on that one, against my better judgement, but I signed up to do it, so I just changed what I had planned. Started out real excited on that, had alot I was gonna do, but slowly went downhill so this is what I threw together, won't tell ya what I wanted to send but a few people know...lol Oh well, whatcha gonna do..
So from the City of Lights, Land of Entertainment this is all I put together...Did lots of online shopping the last couple weeks, in fact a couple boxes came in today, most is start of Christmas presents...lol I know I'm alittle early, but I have to...last time I waited I wound up getting sick and had to send the kids out with lists and cash..lol Don't want to do that this year and besides getting it now, it'll be paid for by then :) Always a method to my madness...lol (that and I like to drive the kid nuts..lol) Nick was home when the boxes came so I had to wait til he left to go bowl, so Mike & I got to open it all and lookie see :) Now I just wait for all my tea stuff to come!
Well, think thats about it for now..gotta get back to my crochet bags, only a few more on the handle of bag #2. You all have a great Labor Day if I don't get a chance to talk to ya'll before then. Safe travels for those traveling :)

Don't you just hate it when a partner doesn't acknowledge that they have received their package! How hard is it to sit down and send a quick email! My package for 3 of my 4 swaps was not acknowledged until I asked. I had confirmations on all so knew they had been received. Pictures never posted either. Very frustrating!
I understand things happen but when you see partner has time to post other items to blog you wonder why they can't email thanks.
Sorry, venting.
I'm sorry it doesn't sound like you had a good experience with the KVVS! You sent out a good package, though!
Life gets in the way sometimes, but I agree it is only polite to say thank you that you received package and love it even if you don't post picture. I guess that is what makes the world go round....everyone is different. I think your goodies package looks great too.
Glad you behaved and sent out a nice package! I'm always sad to hear that pals aren't happy, but at least you keep swapping. Hang in there...
You sent out a nice package anyway. It's a darn shame people don't get the whole fun of the exchanges. Oh well, we do what we have to. I think I put too much effort in mine, but that's just what I like to do.
I hope YOU get a wonderful KVVS package.
I would take take that thrown together package and showed it all over my blog.
I am coming to your house to have some tea with all those goodies you have been baking. YUM!
Wowza lady, that's quite the package to just 'meet' requirements! I'm so sorry your pal didn't appreciate you more :(
But! I have to believe your vacation will arrive soon...and hopefully you will enjoy it. I'm having the hardest time keeping quiet :o
Oh yes, and could you please send some of those fresh baked goods thisaway?? Thanks! :p
Oh gosh, I know how you feel. I was in the Spring Felted Bag Exchange. I got a terrific mid exchange package, but never received the bag in the end. All I can assume is that life got in my partner's way and things just didn't work out in the end. A note would have been nice though. You gave your pal a really nice gift anyway. I hope she was a bit humbled by it.
Banana Chocolate Chip muffins!!! Yum!!! That sounds fantastic.
