Your box is traveling from the east coast and I got confirmation it was sent

From the east coast of China?
It has been another 2 days of mail, and still no package. The fun of the trade has now left the building.

Tiki pug YOU took the fun out of the Holiday swap for yourself... I didn't ruin it for you at all... I live in Idaho, in the Rockies... not on the East coast... I do not know why my package to Missouri got there way faster than your package to Vegas... I was going to send you your tracking confirmation # several days ago but deleted the post before sending it, I wanted to abide by the surprise rules ("BASIC RULES:

1. Blind draw..you get who you get and you dont get upset......also its a secret so dont pm your swapper to let them know you got them.")

and let Liz know when it was shipped rather than tell you I was your swapper.

I also mistakenly thought a grown man couldn't seriously be whining daily like that and that you were just trying to be funny (which you weren't).

I have participated in several mug swaps and art swaps... one time my art swap didn't appear for months and I never complained... the fun was more in the giving then the receiving... and my swapper came through big time in the end...

I have received one extremely filthy chipped mug in a box full of rancid newspaper as my swap and never complained...

In the majority of swaps both art and mugs my gifts were never photographed or posted and I didn't complain... I never thought the swapper owed me a photo...

PS
I have photographed my swaps and hadn't posted them yet, I figured it was fine to send a thank you and pix anytime before Christmas or even around Christmas... I only got my hands on my swaps a couple of days ago after an elderly neighbor told me that had signed for my mail by mistake..

I don't owe anyone an apology except for mailing a few days late... and all I can say to all of you who bad mouthed me is I'll be the bigger person here and wish you all well and hope you get some Christmas spirit some day!

I haven't checked my PM's in a couple of days so I'll do that now... to the person that sent me a package and complained about me for not immediately gushing thanks... thank you, I'll post pic's of said items shortly... Merry Christmas!

A. Giving people the benefit of the doubt.
B. Private Messaging rather than public bashing... it has only been a few days since I checked my PMs.
C. Having a bit of patience.
