Happy equinox, everyone.
It's time to sign up for the winter swap circle!  Based on the level of interest, I decided to go ahead and coordinate it myself.

What is the swap circle?  Here's how it works.  By signing up, you commit to sending a gift package (value $20-$25) to your swap partner.  You will also be getting one from someone else.

I got word that the final package of the most recent gift swap has made it to its recipient (a back up package due to a parcel being lost in the mail, boo hiss!), so I can officially say it is closed! Thank you for participating in the Spring Swap 08, and a big thank you to my assistant luredbyvenus, who checked up on things when I was out of the country and ( Read more... )

I DO NOT KNOW why the Post Awful sat on my swap package for so long. The postmark says May! Phhbbbtt to you, US Postal Service!

But now it's here and all is well. Thank you so much, curseangel!

My haul - sorry that I have no camera:( Read more... )

If you have RECEIVED your swap parcel and not let the community know, would you please post here? I appreciate those of you who emailed me to let me know you got it, BUT I'd also like that you let the comm know, as that helps repay your swap partner's generosity. If you don't have time to make a whole new post, please post your thanks here!

Ladies! Let's have an update on the swap! I have a whole list of people whose parcels were apparently sent last week. Have these arrived? Is anyone still waiting on things? Enquiring minds need to know! :)

As far as I know, everyone's swap packages are marked down as sent. That means that if you don't receive a parcel within the next week, you should let me know at bpalswap at googlemail dot com.

Thanks to all for making this a pretty straightforward process, and fingers crossed this last bit will all go smoothly and I can do a wrap up post! :)

Aaaand... the promised details on my swap package! Thanks ever so much to ehlonna for a fun package. I was shocked at how much you had to pay for postage - thank you for your generosity!

I tore into the package to find a beautifully decorated shoe box!

Update on the SPRING SWAP. This info has been emailed to all participants.

First, thanks to luredbyvenus for keeping track of things whilst I was out of the country doing Important Conference Things!

I think I'm now back up to speed.

Hi guys - still behind with things, as I haven't actually been HOME yet, though I have been in the UK since Monday. Busy life. Swap business looks like it's mostly all sorted now, but I will be sorting out remaining loose ends as soon as I can! :) Thanks for your patience.

I am late to post and I apologize. I just wanted to say a huge thank you to my secret swap person, targeter!!!!
