Thanks for the compliments...but I learned by watching all the jig tying gurus do the swaps a few years ago. The ones that started it all are the ones that need the compliments!! I would name names but I would forget someone...but most have stickies somewhere on the jig tying forum and or they are known on the site very well! Thank you all for the example you gave me!

Thanks again guys. It was fun. Can't wait to get started on the next one. Pappa...are you read for the fun?!?! I was telling my wife about your g-kids/ Christmas and you hoping to get the jigs before then. I sure hope you do.

Since he started that,I figured tying jigs would be right up his alley. He can't pass by the jig station without stopping to tie something. When we'll ever run out of jigs,I don't know. But jig heads and chenille go pretty fast!

No, those are bought. Some kind of athletic stuff. Like magnets or something. Yeah I'm old and WAY out of the loop of that stuff. lol. Now the youngest, he likes to make jewelry and well, just about anything else and sell it. Mama goes to market with peaches in the summer and they can sell various crafts and things. Anything she does, he likes to do also. He has made presents for so many family members, he never buys anything anymore! We homeschool so it opens up a whole lot of things for them to get to do that they normally wouldn't.

Look for the formal announcement the day after Christmas for the Polar Bear swap! It will be very informal without many rules but a couple. I hope I do a good job. Nanna is pretty excited about seeing everyones jigs!

Okay guys...

Jigs are officially out of my hands and into the USPS hands. My wife got all of you tracking numbers which will be posted tonight so you can watch you package and hopefully see if there becomes a problem. Going to try some of the swap jigs tomorrow night. Will let you all know what does what from what we use!

And the rest of us patiently await...lol. Have fun and hope you boys knock em out!

Okay guys. Here are your USPS tracking numbers. I'm just going to put zip code and tracking number since they are all different. Please just find your zip and there will be your tracking number.

The latest estimated delivery date is 21 DEC 13. So I think they will all be home in time for Christmas. Let me know if the numbers do not work and I'll double check them.

Funny thing. My wife ran all of them at the same time. Look at the last 3 numbers at how many packages in the US were ran through during the time in between the printing of receipts. LOTS of packages going through the system for Christmas!!! Thought that was neat.

Thank you all for letting us be a part of this. Please let me know when your package arrives so we can finalize our swap.
