    Thanks very much for the update Danni ♥ I was a teensy bit worried that I hadn't yet received an group assignment email, so now I know all is well :D. Hope your internet is working smoothly again soon, mine has been very unreliable so far this year --- so I sure know how inconvenient that can be.

    So excited about making a lovely, lovely parcel --- can't wait!!!

    my internet was temporarily (thank goodness) off last night, I'm glad it's working today. I work on it so whenever anything doesn't function it's terrible ;)
    I hope you get yours back very soon and I'm looking forward to "meeting" my packagie. :)

    I am so excited for this. Thank you for the update! I have been checking my email like crazy, and then I was afraid I had missed the cut. Good luck with no internet. That sucks.

    If you need an extra group leader since so many people signed up, let me know

    Sounds like a lot of work! Wish I could help!

    Your original schedule even said that nothing was going to be happening until at least the 18th, so I'm surprised that people have already been emailing you, tut-tut!

    Thanks for the update. Maybe we should consider a bit of an extension? Like having until April 15 to mail packages out? I know personally I was looking forward to getting to know my swap partner and then perhaps utilizing some of the great etsy talents for a few of my items. But, I don't think I have enough time for that now, if we have to still send the packages by April 1.

    Just a thought.

  42. Amy Kelly22 March, 2010 14:18

    I agree with Amanda, an extension would be much appreciated! I know I want to shop with my swap partner in mind and it would be very difficult to have time to find, order and receive items (especially handmade goods) in such a short time frame. It would be a shame to rush finding the perfect items to send the package on time.

    Any news on the Lovely Package Exchange? I've yet to receive an email, so wondered if Danni is still having internet problems.

  45. kimberj28 March, 2010 17:58

    Hi Danni,
    Could you do a brief few line post on the 2010 lovely package exchange? For us newbies we have no idea if we didn't get in or whether we just haven't heard yet. I'm truly not trying to nag I just want to be ready to do a hopefully spectacular package if I'm in. If I didn't make the cut well no worries... I'll just hope for fall :)

    Super cool! I'm crossing my ringer & praying so I can make the cut :))) It will be my first one, super excited :) Thanks for putting this together Danni :)))) Greetings from Oklahoma from a Panamanian chica :))
