Wow! I had NO idea the swap would be such a hit! I am beyond excited to start working on pairings so we can all get to work! However, I did want to reiterate something first. It has come to my attention that some December swaps were sadly not carried out by all parties. Though in the end I have no control on whether or not someone follows through I want to remind you all that if you sign up for the Pink Swap you are signing up to send AND receive a package. While it is wonderful to be on the receiving end this is a two way street. If you do not feel as if you are able to carry out this commitment please delete your comment or send me an email. As I stated in the ruled it is not fair to the other participants plus it is just rude. This is meant to be fun for all those involved and I know we can make this perfect if we are just willing to play by the rules! I have very high hopes!! Again, please leave a comment on the PINK SWAP post WITH YOUR EMAIL (you will NOT be given a partner if you do not leave your email with you comment- comments without emails will be deleted) and check back on Sunday for your pairing! Start preparing because I have a feeling this is going to be beyond fabulous!

I hear about people not following through. That is annoying and Im glad it didnt happen to me.
Thanks for this post :-)
I got burned with a Christmas swap. Christmas!
I was so bummed. I had gotten things custom made and everything. I was so excited. Hope my partner at least LIKED her presents...
Here's to hoping that I get a GOOD buddy this time!

I was so annoyed when i heard one of the fabulous women from my swap didn't receive a package that Mini K and I went out on Christmas to put a package together for you! This post was a good one, because after you put the time and effort into a package you not only want a package in return, but one that was put together with the same effort as your own. Sorry just my 2 cents. Thanks for organizing..I think this might be the most people I have ever seen sign up for a swap...so your New year's resolution is a HUGE success.
Thanks for posting this, I participated in a Christmas swap and spent a ton of time and money picking out great gifts for my partner. We were suppose to spend $25. I got two pipe cleaner snowflake ornamenets that she made. It was awful, she knew the rules but didn't follow them.
This is exactly why I can't participate! It's making me so sad, but I know I am too busy to put together the kind of package I want to receive. I am so sorry to miss out, but after seeing this post, I am glad I decided to sit it out. I hope you do another one soon so I can participate!
I'm so looking forward to the swap, I hope it goes well. I already found a few great pink things yesterday!
Well, this is an blogging etiquette faux pas--to sign up for a swap and not SWAP! That would definitely get you one silver spoon from Miss Janice!
P.S. I love the tunics...
Aw! How sad for someone to not receive after they worked hard to send a package! I would like to think I was a good swap partner for the first and only swap I've been in. I sent the package on time, and I bought all things that I would want!! I can't wait!
I have participated in two swaps and have been delighted beyond my expectations. I had two awesome swap partners.. so for the good girls let's say Hoooray! xo
I'm really excited about it, I've already started getting stuff together!!!
Is it too late to sign up? I definitely want to participate!
I have also been burned..."preppy" was not in her vocab I guess, however, I was lucky enough to be paired w/ Landlocked Mermaid and her goodies were wonderful! Looking forward to another good swap, thanks for hosting.
I'm so excited! I've already started picking up items for my soon-to-be-assigned partner!!
Thanks so much for doing this.
Very well said, now let's just hope that all participants remember this.
I haven't had the best of luck with a few swaps and it's very disappointing especially when I put so much thought, effort and money into it. I told myself I wasn't going to do anymore swaps but when I saw your "Pink and Preppy Swap", I just couldn't pass it up because it is so me. Thanks so much for orgnaizing it.
Happy Swapping!!!
