Love this idea! I joined-PHH

It's my first swap! Anything I make?

MissKoolAid 02/ 1/2007 #

Josie, whatever it is you do craft-wise is good for this swap. Just take in consideration that we want this swap to happen fast so if you're sending something bulky, you might want to send it ExpressPost otherwise, anything that fits in a regular enveloppe with regular postage is fine. If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me.

does this include poetry?

MissKoolAid 02/ 2/2007 #

Sure! Just make sure you send something you would like to receive.

MissKoolAid 02/ 4/2007 #

To Melanie, Akki and Ellen,

Your packages will be in the mail on Monday. Let me know when they arrive. And Akki, my parents live close to you so I'll personnally deliver your package! No waiting for the postman... ;)

MissKoolAid 02/ 6/2007 #

Remember that your package should be postmarked at the latest on the 7th. That's wednesday. If you think you need a little more time, I can extand til Friday the 9th but let me know quickly.

Josie, I received your package yesterday. AMAZING!!! It's already in my living room window. And you must've looked at my profile because it's just perfect: the butterfly, the colors... Thank you SO much!

Sophie, I am so glad you like it and it managed to arrive in tact!

Julie, Deanna, and Monica...I mailed yours off a few days ago so you should have mail fairly soon. I hope you like what I sent you....just a sample of what I make.

Julie thank you for the great postcard! I do indeed feel like a star. Brightens a cold monday!

Monica, I received your cards today! wow, they are great. I love the squirel. They look handcrafted-not homemade- I am impressed. Thank you so much.

Has anyone gotten anything from me yet? I know Princesshammerhead has (thank you for the sweet comment and the nice rating). I mailed them out on the due date or not but I was not late (I've never mailed any of my swaps late before). I was out of town at my parents a lot over the past few weeks but I was not late at mailing everything out. I guess I'm just sad to have received my first bad rating. I have only received one of my packages so far but I'm not so quick to give a bad rating as I know the mail can be slow sometimes and I see that the people who had my name have marked their items as "sent".

I never thought that receiving a bad rating would have me in tears. Maybe the fact that my dad died on Sunday morning is finally catching up to me? This "1" on my other-wise perfect swapbot record really did NOT make my day. Before you rate your partner poorly...just...please...have a little patience. You don't know what may be going on in their lives and sometimes...just sometimes...the "pony express" isn't a fast as we thought it would be ;o)

Sorry to rant...I hope everyone is having a wonderful Valentine's day. Maybe my daily trip to the postoffice will cheer me up today and I'll get the other two packages I'm still waiting for.

Marianne, wish I could give you a hug. I totally understand where you are coming from. I have spent over $55. in sending slippers to England and neither pair have arrived and hence I have received a 1 rating. It can be frustrating especially when you know that you have lived up to your obligations. I have decided that I am NOT going to send a third pair, because it is now beyond ridiculous. I am considering not joining any more international swaps because of it. And wouldn't you know it. It was my first swap. Keep your chin up and think of summer!! Judy

MissKoolAid 02/15/2007 #

Just a reminder that the link is up to rate the partners who sent you stuff. Since everyone seems to have sent, everyone should be receiving. It's only fair to be acknowledged when we've done our part. I've rated all my partners but none of mine has rated me yet.

user5963 02/15/2007 #

Thanks Marianne just got your paper piecing this morning very cute, i make 3 D cards so i realy enjoy this kind of thing. Hugs Monica

user6019 02/18/2007 #

Mandy, Have you received your package from me yet? I sent them all at the same time...the other two ladies have recieved theirs...and you are closest to me... Go figure. I am also still waiting on the last item...(insert grumble about Canada Post here) stay warm!

wigglywourms 02/25/2007 #

Bushgirl...you are SO sweet to think of me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
