Hey All!
First off, we have some winners in our Weekly Topics contest!!
Camilla B and Gaylen! Congrats! It will likely be this weekend before I get your prizes off, but you'll get it in time for the holidays that way!
Next.. Please be SURE that your package is on the way, if it has not already been received. If there is a delay (there have been a few life emergencies), LET YOUR PAL KNOW. We're all adults folks - if you don't intend to fulfill the obligation, then let me know so that I can seek angels for your pal - it is not fair to folks not to receive as well as give. If you're running late because life came up, have the courtesy to let them know!
If you have NOT received your package OR heard from your pal, please email me to let me know!

Final Weekly Topic!
Hey there everyone! Sorry for the long delay - I was sick for a bit, and as some of you know, my mom's in the hospital, so things have been a bit nuts.
First, just a reminder - packages should be received in 1 week! If you think you're running late, or that there's a chance you might with holidays - PLEASE EMAIL YOUR PAL! Things happen, no big deal - but make sure your pal is aware what's going on.
And I do have one final weekly topic - post by the 30th, as on the 1st I'll draw our winners!
This week is Thanksgiving in the US, and our Canadian friends have already celebrated their day of thanks. So for this week, share a recipe, or tell us what your favorite 'Fall Foods' are - for me, I just love some Chili!! I always enjoy it, but during the cool, crisp weather of Autumn, I truly begin to crave it and make it more often - what's your favorite?

Ack! Late Weekly Topic #2!
I'm so sorry guys! I totally forgot!!
First off, by now, you ALL should have heard from your pals!! If you have not contacted the person you are spoiling, do so immediately! If you've not yet heard from the person spoiling you, please let me know so we can figure out if it's a SPAM problem or if there's some other issue!
Now! For the second topic of the week! Remember, to get an entry into a drawing for a pound of coffee and some yarn goodness, post your response/answer to the topic on your blog before the following Sunday, and leave a comment here letting us know you've posted!
This week's topic:
With Halloween coming up this Friday, tell us what you think of when you think Halloween! Do you love it? Hate it? See it as a sign of Fall? Are you a total sucker for candy and little kids in cute costumes?

Matches Out - Weekly Topic Below!
Matches have all been sent out - if you did not receive yours, please check your SPAM folder and then let me know! Be sure to contact your pal anonymously by the end of this week!
Meantime - Just as with all swaps I host, we'll be doing a contest for Weekly Topics! What are Weekly Topics? Easy. Some folks have trouble finding things to blog about (some have NO problem!), or finding things that might help their pals get to know them better from the perspective of the swap. So each Sunday, I'll post a "Topic" or question here, and your job is simply to post about it on your blog! Once you've posted, leave a comment here letting us all know that you have, and you'll get an entry into a drawing for prizes! There'll be 2 winners drawn at the end, and each will receive a bag of coffee from Caribou (Because I love an excuse to go there, dontcha know), along with some yarny goodness!
This week's topic:
I took the above photo in Colorado on my recent mini-vacation. It was about 45 outside, the leaves were crunching, and I was so in love with being there. So this week's topic - what makes a "Fall day" for you? How do you know it's here, and what do you love about the weather, the scenery, or something else that makes Autumn lovely?
Post on your blog by next Saturday, and post a comment here so we know to check it out!

Extending Registration to Friday, October 17
Okay, Ladies - we're all up to date. If you do not see your name in the sidebar, then I've not gotten the registration and you should resend. Please leave a comment if your link is not correct, I've not double-checked them all yet.
No, we don't have a button yet, but if anyone would like to make us one, I'll certainly display them all!
And finally, I've extended registration through Friday - with just getting back from my trip, I'm a bit behind, and that'll give anyone a chance to get in who'd like to and just hasn't heard the good word!
