I (STILL) get tremendous swap anxiety. SO! To combat it, I usually try to find another person in the swap who isn't my partner to share progress news and ideas with. Is that naughty? Rude? Weird? Or a good idea?
And lastly, does anyone else do that, or am I just a freak? (Don't answer that!)
My Newbie Swap swappers do this all the time. I am usually the person that they send pics to to get a gauge of how well they are received, cause those little newbie swapper are the epitome of swap anxiety ridden swappers! Feel free to bounce off ideas/pic/etc to me, I am always around.

Well, I'm glad to hear others get freaked out also! Rira glad your ok. A Chat room sounds great! Then we can all chat all night long and not keep adding pages here.
MommyMaid thanks for the tip about online postage w/the DC # thing. I had trouble with that last time.
I'm so excited, can't wait to meet my partner!
