Marylyn:
Look for a box to arrive in the next few weeks. The USPS said one week, but I am guessing 2 weeks. It's an angel delivery for the April yarn ball swap. Let me know when it arrives!
Thanks,

Swappers See Rules


Everyone..... please read the new rules that are posted on the "How to Join! The Rules!" link in the right column. Please read them carefully. I have added some rules to help alleviate any future problems with delays in receiving your swap packages. I know we all have circumstances that arise from time to time that can cause us "hiccups" in our sending habits. This is why I have set up some guidelines for all of us to follow in swapping at Crochetoholic's Swap Blog. We will continue to use our angels to send any packages that are not received by the 5th of the following month after a swap has ended. If the original assigned partner can send their package after that time, they will be required to send the package to the angel that took their place in the swap. I think this will reassure that everyone gets their packages in a timely manner, and that the angels will also be rewarded for their generosity if the original partner can then fulfill their commitment.
