I've received something from my Secret Sister two months out of the last four.....although maybe October is still coming.
I enjoy shopping for my SS, so it's not going to stop me from participating, but I'd be curious to know if this is getting to be more common.
Wow, I'd want to know that too. I can't IMAGINE signing up for SS and receiving and keeping a gift and then never sending one out. I would feel really crappy if I did that. Don't sign up if you have trouble fullfilling your end, I'd say. It's SAD to shop and send out a nice treat, hearing about others receiving their packages, and then nothing ever comes for you. :(Quote:

But remember we are kind of an anonymous community and ANYONE could sign up here and participate. It would be hard to make rules to protect us, but the best thing would be like Aggie_Ama said; just write to her and let her know that you are still waiting because SOMEONE has the original lists of who was assigned to whom.
Well, on the flip side, I never found out if my Sept SS got her pkg though the company says it was delivered. I haven't heard complaints about it not making it there.. but jsut never got confirmed that it had arrived safely.
If anyone hasn't recieved anything from October PLEASE let me know. Same as if you have sent something and haven't heard anything let me know and I'll contact your SS on your Behalf. (I've had a few people request this from me already)
Strange. My Oct SS hasn't recieved anything yet, and yet my November SS has already recieved hers. ;_; Not Really fair of the postal services...
Ditto, but for September (the month I organized). I'd hate to think that some of you are getting short changed! I have personally had packages disapear in the postal system, so it absolutely happens. Let's try and work this out for everyone!Quote:

Angelique-
Thank you so much for the socks and ride log!! I had a tiring afternoon yesterday and was so happy to have a package in my mailbox. The socks are so cute and I love the low cut. Most of mine are higher, it is hard to find cute low ones.
I am so jealous of all the photos on my ride log. It is inspiring me to save for a riding vacation.
Thanks again!
You're welcome! :D I hope the socks fit ok and I'm glad the package didn't take too long to get there.Quote:

Hey Trek, I am glad you enjoyed your goodies. We can meet up and go riding sometime. I don't think I have ever ridden with you.

Very clever SS
I thought I had it good becaue you have to sign a customs declaration; but this smart SS had an unintelligible sig....Comes from a place called Silver Spring which sounds nice.
Great smart-wool soxes in pale purple shades which make me feel really pretty. Born in New Zealand I also go tingly all over when I see the word "merino"!
I am also a tea freak so the stationery was perfect!
And the Clif-shots.... we ain't got nothin' like that here. Wow! Am I cool!
(Not my feet of course)
Our post lady closed her post office for a while ...
International post + Middle East chaos + kibbutz anarchy = total postal disruption in and out
The mailman just delivered a truly wonderful package for me. I have the most fabulous Secret Sister.
As soon as I opened it I could smell the soaps. I can't wait to take a nice hot bath tonight and try it out. With the weather turning cold around here my skin can use some extra pampering. My SS even translated all the writing on the packaging for me so I'd know the whole story behind it.
I loved the color of the journal and the socks are really cute and fun. I've been really lucky to have this same SS more than once .... I guess I'll have to start letting the rest of you have a chance to experience her SS greatness.
Whenever I send a SS package overseas I have it insured & I get the tracking number just on the odd chance...
Ahh the joys of being a down under SS...can't remain anonymous and have to keep the faith with the postal system...ahhhh

Yeeeowww!
She got it, she got it!
And she likes everything!
I was getting worried that I had copied the addy wrong -
how many of you have this worry and check all the letters and numbers of the post-code 7000000 times, send it off and *still* worry that you got it wrong?
