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

Cheers and a great big thank you again Donna-I'd defintely want to do it again! Great fun. It has been wonderful to be able to look at what other people gave and have received-gold star for organisation!
I am glad the exchange went so well and you always have sometime someone who doesn't come true.
