Perhaps the blanket would be a nice peace offering for your sister? I think she'd have to be very cross to throw it out.

How terrible this gift failed to arrive...Hi Hazel,<br /><br />How terrible this gift failed to arrive, I too would be upset if that happened. <br />I also understand how upsetting it is when people don't do their half of the exchange, this has never happened to me but once I sent a gift for an exchange and the person "never bothered" to let me know it had arrived. I spent a few weeks worrying it had got lost in the post and then decided to email the organiser, she chased it up and the person "just forgot to let me know", hence the reason why I do fewer exchanges now.Lynn Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13412949840443095504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29775806.post-84635906005111344872014-11-23T19:52:00.140+00:002014-11-23T19:52:00.140+00:00Hopefully it will turn up one day.

Hopefully it will still arrive. <br />Your blanket is beautiful - happy colors:) I would still make the blanket for your sister. Just in case things work out between you both, you will have a special gift for her on hand. And if you both don't work things out by Christmas - you can still wrap it and save it for her for the future.

I spent a lot of time & thought into sending someone a box of gifts for Christmas & it was never received : ( I have had packages not arrive that were sent to me as well. This is why I'm so paranoid about insurance & signature confirmation now. I hope the package might still turn up. My husband once sent a Christmas gift to his little cousin at Christmastime & she didn't receive it until the following Christmas!
