Exchange check-in

Hi All,
  First, I have to apologize for being absent the last few weeks.  I had a death in the family so had to travel to California for a memorial service, and then everyone in my house got sick, plus I've been swamped at work.
  I wanted to check in and see how the exchange is going.  I have a few people contacting me saying that they have not heard from their elf recipient.  Please remember that it is common courtesy to thank your elf for the gift that they put a lot of thought in to, not to mention spent money on.  Send a message on here or on Elfster!

1.  Have you received your gift?
2.  Did you thank your elf for your gift?  If not, please do so.
3.  Have you mailed your gift for your elf?
4.  Has your elf received your gift?
5.  Did you receive a thank you (or notice that your gift was received) for the gift that you sent?
5.  Did you enjoy this exchange and would you participate again?
6.  Anything else?

I hope this helps to tie up some loose ends/questions about gifts that are missing, in mail land, etc.

Thanks!
Stephanie aka SRodi811
P.S..  I will try to be more present! :)
