Wish List Attention Cathy T and Beth R

Attention Cathy T and Beth R and the Whole Group:

Some of you have not posted a Wish List either here or on your own blog. If your partner does not have this list then your package cannot be personalized. Also it is a requirement of the swap to post your Wish List. If you are unfamiliar with how to post see the links in the right sidebar on th e"How to Join" page or send your lists to me.

If you do not see it posted within a few days be sure to remind me as I have several people's Wish Lists to post. Or if it is posted on your own blog YOU MUST send me the actual link to your Wish List. Telling me it is on your blog is not going to work as it takes way too much time to search your blog for the post!

This is very important, if you do not see your name on the Wish List please email me to let me know. We are a large group now and I may have missed posting your name...
