..... as I expressed previously, I have location challenges that create a challenge for me to participate. I loved this project and believe my life has been blessed by being able to participate.

Yes, I would like to participate more often; but, no, I'm not going to put the group through the lack of reliability known as China Post! However, I would be open to participating in a single item exchange (think decorated Altoid Tin) as I was successful in sending this out via Hong Kong several years back. That way, I only affect ONE PERSON should they not receive it. And, hopefully, said person will be understanding and able to wait until I can mail something from Canada.

Also, I think our lists are simply too large. While this was a simple project for me ..... having to make 15 items can be daunting. Perhaps, we need to have smaller groups but have two projects going at the same time. Or, sign up to wrangle a project that will be posted and completed within a two-month period.

Another idea, if people were willing to share their personal info, we could 'pen pal' our projects to the people of our choice. The commitment then becomes ours alone and does not affect the wrangled group.
