SSCS Prezzies Final Post...........Farewell til 2008 swap

YES you read it right.......unless something drastic happens I will run another swap for Christmas 2008..........the Santa's have been so wonderful and kind and so appreciative of my organising the swap - that is enough motivation for me to go again (some of you will be very happy to hear that)


............all but 2 presents have been delivered (hopefully still in transpost) and only one bad person who didn't send - Maya. (I did say you would be named in the rules)


If you have been away and you missed the last 10 posts I did about the swap head back to between Christmas and New Year. There are only a couple of presents I didn't get pics of, so most of them are in the previous posts and here...............


USA Raesha was Santa for Netherlands Nicolette



USA San was Santa for Aus Gillian



USA Toni was Santa for UK Jo



Aus Gillian was Santa for Italy Teodo



Aus Kerry was Santa for USA Caryn



Aus Lynda H sent a extra special package to Canada CJ who was the poor Santa that was going to miss out...........I also posted a small parcel off to CJ......Thanks Lynda H



Aus Tatania was Santa for USA Jessica



Canada CJ was Santa for USA Tracey B



USA Carole P was Santa for UK Claudia



USA Linda R was Santa for AUS Carey



USA Linda R was Santa for Aus Dale



USA Meaghan was Santa for UK Anne


USA Jessica was Santa for Netherlands Judith



Thankyou Santa's for making this such a successful swap.........you made my job fun and a pleasure to do..........see you in SSCS 2008...............


------------take care----------

PS I forgot to mention some of the girls in the swap have made wonderful new blog friends and I have received some amazing stories in emails from swappers and I am so happy some girls have got so much more out of this swap...........world wide friendship..........
