Hello All Swappers

How's the month going? We should have mailed or getting ready to mail our Sept packages....And we should have contacted our partners???????????? Let's see some posting of packages if you have received them with your thank you.....

New Format to the Sept Swap

Hello fellow swappers...

Right now I am very disappointed in the response and follow up in this swap. So I have decided that we will change the way we swap here....our list has dwindled down to almost nothing. The new way should be helpful to secure those that swap here that they will receive a package.

The new format for Sept. will be as follows:

• Each month you will follow the monthly theme
• You choose your partner from the list
• You will comment here who you wish to swap with
• Email that person and ask them if they want to swap
• DaBookLady will then post partners
• If they agree you will email DabookLady who you are swapping with
• The partners will be posted on the blog
• Then you two will exchange addresses
• The swap will be the same as before as far as time limits
• You will mail your package to that partner by the end of that month
• You will post your thank you and photo on the blog
• You will always let the hostess, DaBookLady, know when there is a problem
• Remember this swap is for fun!

Our swappers wanting to participate are:

1. Debb swaps with Patty
2. Kristie swaps with Gina
3. Michelle swaps with Jayne
4. Jayne swaps with Michelle
5. Jill P swaps with Patricia Anne
6. Gina swaps with Kristie
7. Becky swaps with Reina
8. Reina swaps with Becky
9. Patricia Anne swaps with Jill and Debb

DaBookLady

PS: Don't forget to let me know who you ar swapping with and you can also swap with more than one person if you choose to.

I am waiting to see Aprils photos and thank you posts before we choose the winner for April. If you have not received your package or heard from your partner for the March swap comment here...

Starting in April you will not qualify for the "Photo Contest" unless you post a photo and thank you.

Partners for April will be posted tomorrow....so all listed swappers will be the same. If you do not want to swap you will need to email DaBookLady.

Thank you DaBookLady

"What a wonderful package I received from Debb. The items were too numerous to mention, but a lot of them dealt with tea. Now I have many books to read, one of which I wanted to read but couldn't remember the author. That is the "Strawberry Shortcake Murder" by Joanne Fluke. Also included were some lady bugs, which have always been a "friendship" item between the two of us. I thank you so much. Debb. You are always so thoughtful and generous.

Feb BABEs Received ...Thank you Kris

Kris,

Thank you for your great package. I absolutely loved the mug you sent. I have decided to start collecting mugs in addition to writing pens. The two books were exactly the ones that I have been waiting to read. I just finished a book last night so now I will start reading the Susan Wiggs book that you sent. Perfect timing. The hot pad, bookmark, and coffee were great, too. Thank you so much for a great package. :) Jayne Davison
