I'm here! I check on you guys at least once a day. I'm trying to stay on the down low since I haven't sent my gifts out yet

Last week was mortgage week. As in my WHOLE check plus some of the week before goes to the mortgage so there wasn't an extra $20.00 to pay shipping charges in the budget

Also been very busy at work. Leaving Friday for the annual womens campout. There are about 10-12 of us that go camping with our horses every year at this time. I've been trying to get caught up at home and here so I don't feel guilty about taking some time for me

Real campfire cooking and primitive camping. It's getting to about 50 here at night so I'm thinking I'll be pulling out the thermals!

The October swap will be starting on Monday and have a shorter than normal sign up period so be on the lookout!!

I don't feel so bad now ...

they used to be sold near the lotion and bath salts and such in the cosmetic isle, now they are in the soap isle.
they are about $2.00

i have seen this. i thought the soap saver was different. okay now i know what to get. thanks golden.

The one I got from these swaps is different. It is a pocket with mesh on one side. The way it is shaped it almost works as a mitt. I like the style I have better. I am sure I posted a pic but I dont remember what swap it was

Your DH is in Billings!! That is only 4 1/2 hours from me, next time you should come with him!! I will come get you and you can stay at my Zoo for a break!

*Stares at the mailbox* I can't wait for my gift! Since there are so many thrifty shoppers in this group I can't wait to see what I shall receive!

I haven't heard from the recipient of my gift... I did track it and it says it was delivered a couple weeks ago now! I hope it went to the right place... I have written and not heard back... Eeesh! I hope I got the address right! I'm not super surprised though. I think they are pretty busy right now!

Looking forward to mine!!

I got those because I couldn't find the ones I just posted. the mitt one is still on the isle where the lotions and bath salts are in the cosmetic area instead of the soap isle. they are the same price. I happen to like the one I posted better.

something tells me you did everything right. i hate it when a newbie, and even some oldies, comes on and spoils it for other folks that are doing what they are supposed to do. Hopefully, the benefit of the doubt will play in here. Several of us have made up for someone not sending their gift, we wanted the one that didn't get something to enjoy receiving the gift.

I will not let someone that is irresponsible spoil these swaps. I love them too much.













okay watching glee -- two glasses of wine and my dh is out of town. am i having a moment or what.....

I found out this morning that they got the gift I sent! Yay!

I HOPE I get a gift... if I don't it's not a huge deal though. I just enjoy sending out and watching what people get! Everyone seems to be having fun!

Ugg! Its more like saving the chocolate from me!! My DH said you know you are not sucking me in to that diet right. Yes honey I know, just pay no attention to me, I want to try it.... Then he decides to look it up and check it out, you know, just in case! Well he found out he can eat 44 points as opposed to my 20

So now he is trying it too. So when I am sitting here starving my butt off (hopefully

) he is having a snack because he still has points left
