How WoNDeRFuL

Two lovely ladies I paired for this swap both came from Canada...
but little did I know that they lived about 2 hours apart.
Debbie & Susan made arrangements to swap their sacks last week in person... & they very thoughtfully shared a few pic's with all of us.
How exciting for both of them to actually meet one another...
& I believe they are both gOOd friends now as well.

I'm sure Santa is very happy with these two helpers...

HoHoHo

IT APPEARS THAT ALL LADIES HAVE NOW BEEN PAIRED. 
Thanks for all the wonderful offers.

I have filled all spots on the USA list now... so THANK YOU to the ladies who offered to make up the numbers by doing two... but we have 3 NEW swappers and 2 "old" swappers returning...so that's wonderful!!!

But I need HELP AGAIN... as I have a lady in the UK who unfortunately was the last UK swapper to get back to me... so I have placed her on a waiting list... so if there is anyone out there in blogland who would like to join and be partnered with this lady...please email me or leave a comment. Tracy is willing to mail overseas too.
Tracy sounds lovely so you would make a new friend as well as enjoy receiving some wonderful gifts in December.

HeLP...

I need one more blogger from the USA to partner with another swapper from the USA.
Perhaps you have a friend or know someone who visits your blog that may like to join in. Why don't you ask them,or tell them to contact me.
If you are reading this post & are interested...please contact me via a comment or an email...ASAP.
Come on... join in... it will be a lot of fun!

HaVe You...

Met your partner yet? 
Well perhaps NOT actually met face to face but talked online or via email at least. It's FuN meeting a new craft enthusiast, getting to know her and then to think of her as a "friend".

We all have our thinking caps on I'm sure... well I know I have... lol... so when you make something that you want to share... ssshhh secretly... just email me a pic and I'll add it to this blog for all to admire!
