    Did you contact the person organizing it? Maybe your address got transposed or something...

    I contacted the organizer when I hadn't received anything after a few months. She contacted the person who said something about heading out to ship the package, but nothing after that. I guess the address could have gotten transposed, but wouldn't the package have been sent back?

    It just feels bad to be left out.

    I'm so sorry that happened to you and I completely understand about feeling left out. (((((oxysback)))))

    Thanks, Sammy. I probably shouldn't have brought it up, but I wanted to make the point that if you sign up and find out you can't participate, an explaination to the moderator is better than not hearing anything at all.

    Overall I think most people are great. I did it for about 5 months but it happened to me twice. After the second time I was done....I figured it was less disappointing just getting something for myself, lol.

    It's not an isolated incident. We were doing secret sisters every month for awhile. Lots of people had months where they didn't receive anything, and there were a couple of times when I couldn't find out if my package had arrived. (I started using delivery confirmation then). I don't remember who has organized it in the past, but maybe you could have a dialogue with them about it and what is involved.

    Thanks Claudia,

    I will do my best to make sure everyone receives a package.

    I'm in, I'm in...........wooohooo!

    I have joined in several times and have always been so very lucky, there are several items I have received in the past and they still decorate my living room. Yup, I am a real sucker for silly, daft cheapy things.

    I promise I will try and not let my Secret Sister down.
