So many swappers, so few posts

Shawnee, feel free to chastise me or delete me if I overstep, k.


Dear Fellow Swappers,

As we approach another swap, I am awed by the thoughtfulness and generosity of so many of you. You sent thoughtful packages and equally thoughtful thanks. You shared your progress and cheered those of us who ran into some sewing roadblocks ( yes, I still suck at potholders). Some of you are quiet, simple posters, but at least you joined in the festive atmosphere. I applaud all of you!

Although I understand that life has a way of interfering with fun, I can see no reason that a simple little post cannot be sent. Some of you received some fabulous looking aprons with some darling tuck-ins. I was one of them (thanks again Laura, McDonald's will never be the same since I wore it in to order lol) I am at a loss as to why a few sentences are such an inconvenience! Especially if you like your package!! If you don't, still, a few polite words do wonders.

We all invested something very precious: our time. Surely that alone is worth a few minutes of your day.

I shall revert to something that even kindergartners understand: if you can't play nice, you don't get to play. Snarky? Yep. Something that, unfortunately, needed to be said? Yep.

Please don't be the ''bad apple" that spoils the bunch.

Sincerely, Regena

Regena and all,

Just a small edit to your post. While I have invited everyone to be blog authors with the ability to post and while I LOVE seeing all the pictures, thank you posts on this blog are not mandatory. The minimum requirement is a thank you email or note to your partner.

Again, I LOVE seeing the pictures and even though I hope that everyone who can will post here AND on their personal blogs linking to this swap and to their partner's blog, not everyone has the the same level of technological literacy (is that really a word/phrase???). That said, please know that I am happy to post for you if you don't know how .. just send me an email with what you want to say and attach a picture - I'm happy to do the rest.

The only way you don't get to play any more is if you don't send a package or you don't let me know that you received one; some people actually post here but don't contact their partner directly and that's not quite right either, since not everyone remembers to check here regularly. (Reminder - if you subscribe to this blog, you will know when a new post goes up.)

Blessings,

Shawnee

PS - I'm excitedly working on the new swap ..deets SOON!!!
