Feb SS-yes?

[Bikingmomof3]

I have to confess something-
I love giving (and getting) gifts just as much as the next person. But I'm a little hesitant about doing SS again because it seems (or is it just my imagination?) the number of items bought and the expense is getting more and more abundant each month, and now it's common to photograph displays of all the goods recieved as well. I DO understand how much fun it is to shop and send and get goodies (believe me i DO!), but if SS shopping and sending becomes too daunting or expensive or competitive, I fear there might be more people putting off sending their packages because they don't think they have bought enough things yet, or just not participating in the first place. (Just a thought, not trying to spoil the fun)

I liked seeing photos, which is why I posted mine this month. I did not even think it might be upsetting so I apologize and shall remove mine.

As for gifts getting more expensive? I do not know. I tend to spend within the given limit, due to my personal budget restraints. I am not bothered if someone receives what appears to be more than I send or receive. I send what I can and each gift is purchased with my heart. All I hope for is that whomever has me does the same, picks something from the heart.

There's a limit?

It's not "upsetting", Jennifer- don't worry about your pix!
I've spent within the suggested $20 limit a couple of times, but my packages seem so meager compared to some. It's all about doing it from the heart, as you say. But I'd hate to see people get discouraged from participating if they get the idea that they have to send a big selection of stuff.
