'Lion Snow Angels

Most of us have been flaked on a time or two. For this swap, we will 'angel' for our partner from a swap they were previously flaked on.

To participate, you must list your flaked on swaps in the comment section below, WITH LINKS so your partner knows what the swaps are about. Choose one and surprise your partner by being their angel.

Before you get all filled with enthusiasm (as Dandelions do!) try to remember that people generally flake on time-consuming, labor intensive swaps. This is why I offer the challenge to THIS group of fantastic swappers!

I have set this up with a long sign up and send date, to allow time for greatness to happen. If you get a partner with flaked swaps not in your specialty or scope of abilities, just do your best. Everyone loves an angel, even ones with tarnished halos. :o)

I love the "before you get all filled with enthusiasm (as Dandelions do!")

Traceyk 11/21/2010 #

OMGosh...I have so many flakes and actually some of them have been angeled already. I just forgot who did what because it was so long ago. :/

hollycm6 11/21/2010 #

I think even if they were angeled you could still list them, just for purposes of this swap... what do you think? Instead of listing them on our profiles, we could list them here... but is it better to have it on our profiles? I have been looking through my old swaps and found some early on multiple partner ones I archived but didn't rate one partner. I don't know why I wouldn't rate...

Also I had one that I didn't get flaked on but what I received, while strictly fitting the description, was AWFUL and totally unusable... can I list that as an option, too?

LadyStephanie 11/21/2010 #

I'm good with listing the flaked on swaps here instead of on your profile. I'll change the swap description.

LadyStephanie 11/21/2010 #

This time around, let's just list flaked swaps. If they have been angeled, then you should not list them again.

Holly, your other idea (about asking for redo angels), we should do that in a separate swap. We could call it: "Weeds In-Deed"

hollycm6 11/21/2010 #

ha ha! I love that... Good idea!

(your list is so much tidier than mine)

LadyStephanie 11/22/2010 #

(you've been swapping longer than I have :o)

hollycm6 11/22/2010 #

Oh! I'm Swap-older! Agh!!! Is that a... (gasp!)... gray swap I see!!! Never! I'm not a swap over 300. :)

Traceyk 11/27/2010 #

Ugh. There's not a lot I can angel from the lists above (out of my comfort zone or knowledge). Bah!

LadyStephanie 11/27/2010 #

@Traceyk I would love any effort that you made/sent! Being a natural hoarder, I'd be happy with supplies in lieu of the finished swap. You know, yarn & little doo-dads for the HP Magic Yarn Ball, 9X12 pad of drawing paper & lace, ephemera or whatever for the Victorian Journal swap....see what I mean?

Please don't think that this is something you can't do!!! The Victorian Swap Cards are just card stock and either a pretty rubber stamp or a flowery piece or two of scrapbooking paper.

So what do you think? Are you in???

Traceyk 11/28/2010 #

Okie dokie artichokie! Here's my list. It's not as bad as I thought since some were angeled.

Amscar (one dollar swap)

heartsonfire (letter tag)

cichanxoxo (earn those 5's & hearts #1)

Zion (something tag - something paper)

bookwormleah (I feel like writing about)

Andrealynn (pen pal intro mini zine)

javajunkee (pen pal swap)

kayleena (this or that tag - gel pens)

LadyStephanie 11/28/2010 #

@Traceyk here are your clicky links. :o)

One Dollar Swap Edited
Earn Those 5's & Hearts #1
Pen Pal Intro Mini Zine
Pen Pals

The letter tag, something tag - something paper, and the this or that tag - gel pens....those I'm assuming were maybe from a group thread and I can't make a clicky for those. And the "I feel like writing about" was that a tag also? Just wondering.

Traceyk 11/28/2010 #

Thanks Stephanie for making my swaps clicky! Yes, those were tags in the PF, but so long ago I'd have to look through pages of tags. The "I feel like writing about" was also in the PF and I forgot what the gal was going to write about! So if anyone decides to do that angel, they can make up their own topic of choice and write to me about that if they want. :) I'm super easy to please!!!

LadyStephanie 12/ 1/2010 #

Just realized another one I was flaked on:

10 Pieces of Word Art

This was a swap I hosted, go figure. Everyone else got theirs, also the person who flaked on me also didn't rate their partner...whatever.

LadyStephanie 12/ 1/2010 #

And another!!! Geesh! This was a journal swap that I hosted, and actually angelled a second journal to someone in the swap that was flaked on....and what do I get? Nothing! * sigh *

King Holly, you might remember this one:

Jobs Journal

LadyStephanie 12/ 1/2010 #

Oh, sorry...forgot to put WHO did the flaking.

on 10 Pieces of Word Art it was @cleopatra
and for the Jobs Journal it was @offthepost18

Can I pick 'em or what???

hollycm6 12/ 2/2010 #

'Aw, and your HJobs Journal was SOOO awesome!!! That stinks! @traceyk you'd do a good job with that one, I know! You can be as creative or boring as you want!' (ducks as a tumbleweed is thrown her way)...'just teasing'!!!... but really you just write about jobs you've had.

Traceyk 12/ 2/2010 #

UPDATE: This tag was just angeled yesterday, so it's no longer on my list.

Something tag - something paper (flaked by Zion)

Traceyk 12/ 2/2010 #

OMG - I love the Jobs Journal description! How fun!!! :)

LadyStephanie 12/ 2/2010 #

@hollycm6 you're too kind! But, yeah, it was all writing...lots and lots of chicken scratch. And a doodle or two. I have a hard time leaving well enough alone. :o)

LadyStephanie 12/ 3/2010 #

P.S. I've had an angel offer on the 10 Pieces of Word Art. Woohoo! ' So that one is off the table for this swap.
(No double dipping for me.)

hollycm6 12/27/2010 #

Ceopatra??! She was going to send me a World Cup tee shirt or some little fun souvenir in trade for some stuff here. I'm glad I never finalized that swap!!
