November SS-

[AllezGirl]

Did you send me that nice package?

I'll be in Sacramento in March. Maybe I'll get a chance to thank you in person!

[xeney]

Ha. Yes, that was me! Glad you liked it!

Why do some things affect us and others don't?

I suppose I am disappointed for two reasons, firstly have not received my SS package but am really hoping it is on it's way.

Secondly..................OK, this is going to sound pathetic but after taking a fair time choosing something for my SS and spending more than a reasonable amount, plus postage of over $11, I guess I was a little surprised at not receiving a PM, at least that way we could have exchanged a few words.

Call me stupid but I was so excited when I received and sent my October SS and it was so good communicating with these two people who live on the other side of the world.

I don't expect or even want any comments to what I have written, it is just my way of expressing how I feel, albeit somewhat stupid.

Clock, you and I are in the same boat. The first lady I sent something to never told me who she was on line. So it was a black hole.
YOU were great, easy to buy for and lots of communication.. Now I am waiting, like you, for a November gift. At least the gal I sent the November package to had enough class to let me know she got it and appreciated what i sent her.
As for your most recent recipient, sheesh, if i got a package all the way from GB I would be thrilled!

I guess I'm confused. I thought the "Secret" was an important part of the whole Secret Sister thing. That is, I didn't realize we were supposed to identify ourselves here in the forums. I can understand offering a general thanks here in this thread, so hopefully your SS will read it, and of course if she wants to identify herself, that's great. But is there a procedure that I'm not aware of, where we DO identify ourselves after the gift is sent?

I'm fine with it either way--just wondering what most people do.

The main thing, I think, is that we all want our SS to post on the board to at least acknowledge they've received our gift (smail mail paranoia). Beyond that, I don't think there's any rule. Some folks are comfortable id'ing each other on the boards, some do it by PM and I'm sure some never reveal themselves.

I, for one, like to know who sent me neat stuff - sometimes my SS gives me her name, sometimes I'm left to guess. Either way's fine to me. When I send out SS packages, I don't use my screen name, but I try to leave clues to my identity in my note (darn CyclChyk figured it out way too easily ). If my SS doesn't figure out who I am, I eventually PM her and fess up. It prolongs the fun for me.

ah, but you eventually tell. that makes sense to me.
