Remember that our Neighbors live all over the world. Please keep in mind that International shipping takes time.

In the past we have posted photos to share in the fun when we receive our respective swaps.
Let's continue to do this since it is a great way to say Thank you....

Ok everyone ready set go!

Sweet! This is going to be so much fun!

I'm so excited!

I've already contacted both WLSers! WoooHoooo!

Thanks Lynn! I love Valentine's Day! As soon as I hear from Patty O, off to the post office I go!

Woohoo!! Any other rules I should know about before I go?

Ahhh bummer.....you must have done this while I was gone!! Or I just didnt see it last week....wahhhh...


I hope this one goes better and everyone receives their gift!!

HAVE FUN!!

Julie

How fun!!! I can't wait to get this sent off, and to then start stalking the mailman.

Very fun! Let the swap begin!

Hi Marianna!

The only other rule is to just enjoy yourself!!!!!!!!

Glad you joined us!!

Hey Julie, I wasn't sure you were back... but we are going to have one around mid March for Spring/April Fools Day! You have time to plan.....

Did you read the post about Marla's Interesting problem... (at the risk of getting in trouble here with Maliesse) you should ask her what she bought!!!!

Woo hoo! Happy Valentine's Day everybody!

I heard my name. Hi Lynniekins. What are you talking about, I am confused?

What........ am I APIYA?

Of course, Dahling! I wouldn't want anyone else to be APIMA. I can't imagine you not being APIMA. I love you, muffin, always!

*BUMP*

Just making sure that everyone sees this... please check for your names/recipients!!

Thanks everyone!!!!

Hey Swapsters!!! I shopped for "heckmom" today and anxious to get my 'Hood-Sweetie a Valentine on the way tomorrow!!!

Great job Lynn!


:hearts: to all!

You all are speaking a different language. I am totally lost. LOL. Marla, dare I ask what you bought? However, I can't wait to get a special something for my special neighborhood friend. Thanks for taking control of this Lynn. Hugs.

I AM SO EXCITED!

Marianna,
Your gifts went out in the mail (2/12) today. They say you should get them by Thursday. Once you get your gift let me know and I will let you know a little story about one of them.
Pat

Patty..I LOVE stories!! I am excited now...can't wait!

I hate V-day, but I am looking forward to getting my swap from Meg.

Lynniekins - I am getting the rest of your stuff tomorrow, then off to the Post Office. Sorry, it will be late, but I know YOU will love it.

P.S Don't get VD on V-Day!

Laura P, your Valentine Swap box went out on Saturday, 2-9-08!
Hope it gets there SOON!

Jean...I'm finally back to work and was able to get soemthing together for you. Should be out today or tomorrow. I'm sorry about the delay, that stomach bug just knocked me out for awhile.

Bamagal....thanks for my very thoughtfull gift!

Stephanie

I hope Kaye's gift gets to her before she leaves for the conference! <sent it out last week...sheesh..lol!>

Celeon, Your gifts have arrived thank you. I am trying to up load the pic I'll figure it out.
Thank you so much.
Pat

It's kinda like having a birthday without the added year!!!!! I received my swap gift and love it! Thanks Kaye. My kids were funny....a wee bit jealous! I really had to laugh when my DH confiscated the valentine wrapping paper, looked at it and said "yeah, that should work to wrap the gift I bought you!" Kaye, it is the give that keeps giving :)

Valentine wishes to all!

Marianna --- WOW! I received my gift today and am about to head for the tub for my breathing time! Will post PG13 picture later, but let me just say THANK You --- Just what I needed this week. And I shall wear the necklace, bracelet, earrings on Saturday at the Seattle Bash & Splash. You are a gem..... Thank you. Packing leftover bubbly for my quick trip to Seattle, too.

B.Heckmom--- I want you to keep a record of the coming year..... hope you enjoy the gift. And kudos for your hubby going green and recycling the paper.



Valentine's love to all...... Thanks LynnP for being a SHS - Swap Hostess Supreme. This was a great event. See you in Seattle.

Hey "Swappers!" Hope that you all had an awesome time with this. Lynn, sounds like you did an amazing job organizing it. Congratulations to you, and,

Happy Valentine's Day!

Click to view attachment Thanks everyone! You all made it purely a successful event !!!!!!

I appreciate all of the hard work and planning you each put into the swap to help keep on track.
Can' wait to hear from all of the rest of the neighbors as they receive their goodies!!!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!!!

Awwww Kaye...glad you like it! I hope they bring you the best of luck in Seattle!

I received my gift from w8bgone a few days ago but I am waiting for the official holiday before opening. I am anal that way! I like suspense.


Sharon you should receive your present today per USPS!!

Lynniekins, you box will be at the post office TODAY by 8 am RIGHT COAST time. Depending on how much I feel I love you... you will either have your box o' fun TOMORROW or SATURDAY.

Hmmmmm. Yup, I love you. Check the mail tomorrow.

Lasdt night when I got home the mailman had left a nice package from Laura P.. I received this real pretty mirror box and a real nice bookmarker (my daughter wants the bookmarker..geez mom can't keep anything I told her it was mine and all mine)
I moved stuff of DH to put in on the TV in our room
Thanks a million Laura

Marta

I spent $24.50 to overnight ship Lynn P her VDAY swap box o' fun. It is guaranteed to arrive at Casa de Lynn by noon Friday!

1 - Lynniekins, you better like it

2 - You are worth far more then $24.50 to me. YOU are priceless to me.

I got the greatest gift in the mail today from Kathydee. I have no idea why she chose the gift she did but this is a picture of a shelf that Jake and I made and is in the kitchen. On top of that shelf are ceramic fruits and veggies that I love. Some are salt and pepper shakers.



In the center of the next picture is Kathydee's Valentine gift to me, a lovely ceramic apple and pear salt and pepper shaker set! How appropriate and thank you so very much!

Hi all! Got my treat today from jennikate!
A really gorgeous pair of artisan made glass earrings.
The glass forms in a long muti-colored tear drop secured on silver ear wires.
Perfectly stunning! And better yet, they're from an arts shop in the town where
she lives in CT. So thoughtful! Many thanks to you, Jennikate!
They'll mean even more knowing they came from a fellow "HOODlum"
