But I do know what you are saying, I actually sent some fabric to a close friend that I met online and I spent money and time picking special fabrics out just for her and not so much as a Thank You. I think some people need to brush up on their manners.<br>KristieKristiehttp://quiltingcowgirl.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029276.post-24928573279140319052008-06-07T09:49:34.000-04:002008-06-07T09:49:34.000-04:00I can't imagine not saying Thank You for anyth...I can't imagine not saying Thank You for anything someone gives to me.

At the very least, an acknowledgement of receipt is expected couretesy - and if they're not even polite or thoughtful enough to do that, then a thank-you is just that much less likely. Not that it *justifies* that kind of behavior, of course...<br><br>How irritating. I received stuff from a direct swap around Christmas that while it was nice/good quality, it wasn't my style and I didn't really like it. She still got a gracious, excited thank you and will never know otherwise.

I'm sorry for those of you who didn't have the same experience! A thank you should just be common courtesy. It's a good idea to spell it out for the next swap so everyone can have a good experience!Jillhttp://lifewithnaturegirl.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029276.post-24120521771775636962008-06-08T11:08:20.000-04:002008-06-08T11:08:20.000-04:00Sad to say, but I have a niece who does not acknow...Sad to say, but I have a niece who does not acknowledge gifts. I have gotten burned twice, now with this niece. So you know what? She has hurt herself because I am only sending cards, no gift, no money, nada. If I don't get even an acknowledgment that the item has arrived then that person doesn't receive anything else. BTW, I track my packages so I *do* know they get there.paula.thequilterhttp://www.thequilter.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
