Shouldn't I at least get a thank you?

Ok, so I sent one of my secret-gift exchange (unnamed to protect everyone) pal her gift a little late. I think it was Feb 9 th or something when it was supposed to be out on Jan 31. And I have the thing from the postoffice that says it was delivered just a few short days later. Wouldn't good manners dictate that said spoliee would at least say thank you. I'm not looking for effusive thanks or her first born kid, but an acknowledgement would be appreciated. I had to email her last time just to make sure she got it before I got a thank you. Now I understand work, kids, home blah, blah blah, but I have all those things too and I still get to say thank you in a resonable time frame, (two weeks seems reasonable to me).

To my former pals and current pals, I always appreciated everything you sent, and Margarethe I working on a pay it forward now, Arwen got in my way. With warmer weather here today I'm glad I finished in time for yesterday.

Yay as to the neckwarmer project, but it sucks that there's no acknowledgement :( That's just bad manners on her part.

I had the same thing happen with one of my pals. I wondered if it was b/c she was blogless and she didn't understand about swaps and stuff. I don't know. So sorry it happened to you.

Hey there, writing from Baltimore where I am visiting. Trumpet Hill Yarns is in the little shopping plaza at Route 155 and New Karner Road. Two doors down from the Flying Geese quilt shop. We've never met in person, but drop me an email if you want to go some Saturday.
