I am sorry for those whose expectations were not fulfilled, because mine more than exceeded any expectations I had. So glad to read that you are still over the moon. I thoroughly enjoyed being your Secret Santa, and if you host your soirée again next year, I'll be joining in again. <br /><br />Thanks and Happy New Year! :) PamPam~ Virginia Retrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14282106135779122833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-12223419027655239172013-12-31T15:08:41.598-06:002013-12-31T15:08:41.598-06:00Thanks so much for this swap.

I know for my part gifts don’t have to be perfect to my taste for me to see the care with which they’ve been chosen. I put the same care into choosing the gifts I give and I hope they are received the same way. But you’re right, we all have expectations and need to see past those expectations to what it really means to receive a gift at all.<br /><br />I agree with Diane when participating in a blog gift-swap you really should blog at least once a week and be current. Blogs are how we get to know our Secret “Santee.”<br />Nanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376476093305279684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-2672134727163788942013-12-31T10:22:02.334-06:002013-12-31T10:22:02.334-06:00Suzanne this is very well said, I had high expecta...Suzanne this is very well said, I had high expectations one time and can never forgive myself for the reaction I gave, You are so right I should have smiled and said thank you cause it was the thought behind the gift. I have learned a hard lesson cause I think I could have had a valued friend in this person. Never again will I be so thoughtless, sometimes the expected also learns this lesson. I hope others do too, I value all my gifts rec'd even if it is Just a smile...thanks for your posts and your your blog it is very well written. I was not in your swap but love to see what others get for idea's next year.
