Description:

This is my first time hosting a swap so bear with me.

This is for all of those out there that have August Birthdays.

In this swap you will have 1 partner who have a birthday in August, you will then send that individual a birthday present valued at atleast 10.00 USD before shipping.

This can be anything as long as the value is 10.00

Please post in the comment section your birthday so your partner will know when it is.

I will have sign-ups until June 20th so that way people who's birthday is in the start of the month will be able to hopefully get their gift in time.

There is a gap in time in between the partner date and the send date because not everyone's birthday is the start of the month. BUT please send the gift in time for your partner's birthday.

Newbies are welcome with a full profile!

Thanks, email with any questions

HI, Newbie. But with an August 24 birthday. yeah for those born on the cusp.

corm 07/22/2007 #

What happens here? Shouldn't we have our partners soon?

HeideC 07/22/2007 #

The coorinator hasn't logged in since 7/15 and is way late on MANY swaps.

wifemotherslave 07/22/2007 #

uhhh ohhh... well lets hope she comes thru, the computer will automatically swap us after a few days, if she does not do it, I read that in the rules somewhere.

cafechristina 07/22/2007 #

oh no... I hope everything is okay...

DelennaGaribaldi 07/23/2007 #

wifemotherslave is right, I found this in FAQ Page:

"If the coordinator does not click on the 'assign partners for this swap' link, partners will automatically be assigned three days after the signup deadline."

So I believe tomorrow we should be able to start the birthdayparty :)

nazca 07/24/2007 #

hello mine is 12 bye

DelennaGaribaldi 07/25/2007 #

Who has the host cb38506 as a partner? I mean, as it might turn out so that you don't get a present from her, maybe I could send you one instead. I'm supposed to send the host a gift, which I'll do, but not asap as she's been late on many swaps and not taking care of this swap. In the meantime I could send you a present. If then later turns out that she's back and you get a present, well... Maybe you'll turn the favor to someone else later :)

I've heard this is called "angeling", this helping a fellow swapper.

RACHEL 07/27/2007 #

ha ha!! how you can host a swap when you didnt send your partner what you need??????????

wifemotherslave 07/27/2007 #

I know right... how lame is that!

Wanda 07/27/2007 #

Mrs. Garibaldi - I guess the question is who does cb have as a partner to send to. Each of us only knows the person we are supposed to send to...not the person who is supposed to send to us. There is no way of knowing who anyone else has been assigned, I don't think.

Big Mama - Thanks for the email this morning. I looked at your flicker photos. Lots of neat things there! :)

DelennaGaribaldi 07/27/2007 #

But we do know who sends to us... Or have I misunderstood something...? How else would we know how to rate our partner who send to us?

In that yellow box on top of this site it says: See the partners you send to Rate your partners and coordinator

DelennaGaribaldi 07/27/2007 #

Darn that last post didn't come out right in the end... I'll try again:
In that yellow box on top of this site it says: See the partners you send to AND Rate your partners and coordinator

vi0letta 07/27/2007 #

I'm the cordinator partner..I mean, she have to send the swap to me.

cafechristina 07/27/2007 #

Yep, if you click on "rate your partners and coordinator" you can see who sends to you. I don't know what swap etiquette is in this case, but I will agree that maybe bypassing the host on this one is the right thing to do. Hopefully whoever is expecting their gift from the host will post their name here so that s/he and Mrs. Garibaldi can make an arrangement. I hope everything works out with this. ♥Christina

DelennaGaribaldi 07/27/2007 #

vi0letta: I'll send you a message to get your address :) So don't worry, you'll get a present too :)

Happy Birthday Everyone! =)

wifemotherslave 07/28/2007 #

Mrs. G, I just want to say that you rule! I hope that I can do this for someone someday. :)

corm 07/28/2007 #

Faceless shadow: Your present will not arrive in time for your birthday, I'm away for the weekend and not home until monday. Will send your gift monday or tuesday, and it will take about 10 days from Norway to the US.

Wanda 07/28/2007 #

Oh! Okay! Now I see, Mrs. Garibaldi. Um...can you tell I am totally new to this site? LOL!

I had SOOOO much fun shopping for my partner yesterday. I hope to send Monday - Tuesday at the latest.

vi0letta 07/28/2007 #

mrs. G: I've just replied to your message, thank you for the great idea! I really appreciate it :]

vi0letta 07/30/2007 #

colorful_me : your package from Italy is on the way :)) hope you'll like it!

mrsD 07/30/2007 #

Mrs M.C., your goodies are on the way!

user9507 07/31/2007 #

vi0letta your birthday present is in the mail, should be 5-10 business days

DelennaGaribaldi 07/31/2007 #

Murphysraven: Ahem...? Excuse me, but wasn't I the one who's sending the present to vi0letta?

user9507 07/31/2007 #

Mrs. Garibaldi, When I clicked "See the partners you send to" it comes up with vi0letta's name and address. So that is the person I send to.

If you click "Rate your partners and coordinator" That should show you who will be sending YOU a present, and will allow you to rate them once you recieve it.

I think maybe you have vi0letta as the person who sends to you?

DelennaGaribaldi 07/31/2007 #

Okay, this confuses me even more... As is seen from the previous posts I was told that vi0letta has our host as partner who sends to her - and as the host has not sent anything in other swaps in a while I was afraid she wouldn't get anything. Now that I was supposed to send a gift to the host I thought I could send it to vi0letta instead. Arrangements were made when vi0letta posted that she was the one who would (not) get a gift from the host).

Has the swapbot made arrangements of its own or did someone misunderstand something or what is going on...? Does anybody know the answer?

vi0letta is not the one sending to me, I'll get a present from mnsqb and I'll rate her. As is seen in a previous post, vi0letta has sent a gift to colorful_me.

user9507 07/31/2007 #

then i am not sure what's going on.. I wish there was a way to see all the partners but i guess that can only be done by cb38506, who we are concerned about in the first place.

vi0letta - when you click on the "Rate your partners and coordinator" the coordinator always shows up first (with options to give a star) after that should be the person who is supposed to send to you (which should be me). Can you confirm?

vi0letta 07/31/2007 #

I've just wrote a message to mrs. garibaldi. By the way big.mama sent me a msg few days ago, and when I've checked my partner, I'm sure it was the cordinator. I don't know what happened, or I've been crazy (and had a mistake) or there were some problems with swapbot..

I'm sorry about this..as I wrote to mrs. garibaldi I just hope she hasn't bought anything :/

Checking now, I see Murphysraven

vi0letta 07/31/2007 #

Ok, I was afraid it was MY mistakes, but I've re-cheked again, and I cannot being confused.

When I click to rate your partner and cordinator, it show up "Coordinator Star" right? It don't says the name of the cordinator. I am sure i've read the name of -cb38506- so it was under partner rating

I'm sorry anyway

Sophie 07/31/2007 #

I accidentally marked the swap as SENT. Dont know how to fix that. That is what I get for having a toddler in my lap and reading the website....lol.........

Terry: I will send out your package in time for your birthday on the 22nd. : )

DelennaGaribaldi 08/ 1/2007 #

Okey dokey, I'll call out for the person again :)

ATTENTION!!!! Who has cb38506 as a partner when clicking "Rate your partners and coordinator" ? ATTENTION!!!!

And vi0letta: don't worry, I hadn't been shopping yet :)

Wanda 08/ 1/2007 #

I just sent my package off. :) It was so much fun shopping for my partner; she has some very interesting and enjoyable hobbies and interests. I tried to get just the right things that I thought she would like. I hope she is pleased with it. :)

On a different note, - Wow, I never knew out-of-country postage was so high! It cost me $19.90 to mail the package. I'll be sticking to non-international swaps for item swaps from now on.

cafechristina 08/ 3/2007 #

Shanno...your present is on its way to you! ♥christina

corm 08/ 7/2007 #

Faceless Shadow: Sorry I'm so late for your birthday, but your gift was sent today

Rhiannon 08/ 8/2007 #

I was wondering why the coordinator is no longer listed as hosting a swap on her page? Is that normal? I see she has logged on 2 days ago. It looks like she might have gotten in over her head with swapping.

mrsD 08/ 8/2007 #

Rhiannon, 'currently hosting' shows only untill the signup date, after that, it does not appear.

mrsD 08/ 8/2007 #

Received a great big package from the very awesome Wanda today. thank you!

Rhiannon 08/ 9/2007 #

Thanks Mrs. D. I'm new to the site and was confused.

Wanda 08/ 9/2007 #

Awww...you're welcome, Mrs. D! You were a really fun partner to shop for.

sillywickle 08/14/2007 #

Hello Rhiannon - Your Birthday present is in the mail today. It should be 5-10 days. Hope you enjoy! Mappy

Rhiannon 08/14/2007 #

Wishcake, Your present goes out in the AM mail. What fun it was to shop for you.

Rhiannon 08/17/2007 #
