Oct. 31/09

I just wanted to let any hosts looking at my profile that the 1 currently there is in the mail and I just have to wait till it arrives in New Zealand to arrive which may take a couple weeks.

For those of you concerned about my health and ability to get things sent out in time of the new swaps I have joined:

  1. The first one was sent within 2 days of partners assigned.
  2. The brown and pink inches which just had it's partner's assigned will be mailed either today or Monday, it is ready to go.
  3. The following have not had partners assigned yet but I have them made and ready to go all they need are addresses:
  • all time fave recipes

-follow my blog

-pick 6

-embellishment exchange

-pin up girl ATC

-Senders choice ATC

-Chinese Zodiac Pig

-Hello Kitty

-We want mail!!!!

ALL OF THEM ARE MADE AND SIMPLY WAITING ADDRESSES.

I think that I have things more than under control , and look forward to the exchange, some of the ATC's are on my flicker account if you want proof that they are done or I can send the hos a photo of the item if needed, you don't need to worry about me, I do have 130 5's and 96 hearts so I think that counts for something as every one of them were mail swaps, no ON LINE swaps.

Oct. 27/09

Someone asked me to date my updates and I think that is an excellent Idea (thanks!)

I am feeling much, much better now, all my swaps are sent out and I sent them airmail which I don't always do because of the cost but I wanted to get them to you folks who are waiting ASAP. I am starting to get ratings from the US, the UK and Aussie ones will be a bit longer. I am looking forward to doing some new swaps and these should be on time (barring Canada Post who are either super fast or they take forever there is no middle ground)

Thank you to all of you that were very supportive during my illness and for those that weren't I can forgive and forget and just move on.

That's all for now but I am back in action and I look forward to send things out at the right time :)

THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE MY COMPUTER WILL BE FIXED THIS WEEKEND. EVERYTHING IS SENT OUT AND i SPENT EXTRA AND SENT EVERYTHING AIRMAIL SO THAT SHOULD REALLY HELP THE OVERSEAS PACKAGES,SHOULDN'T BE TOO MUCH LONGER KNOW.

MY COMPUTER IS BROKEN RIGHT NOW AND WE ARE WAITING ON PARTS TO FIX IT> I HAVE BORROWED A FRIEND"S COMPUTER FOR A FEW MINUTES JUST TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT WHAT:S GOING ON AN THAT I AM NOT IGNORING ANYONE AND HOPE TO BE BACK ON LINE SO I CAN GET CAUGHT UP ASAP. SORRY ABOUT THIS I AM GOING NUTS WITHOUT A COMPUTER! I PROMISE EVERYTHING WILL GET SENT OUT AS SOON AS I AM BACK ON LINE.

Have been ill again, I had a lumbar puncture almost a Nonah ago now and it won't heal completely. The doctors have put me on bed rest and on of the symptoms of leaking spinal fluid are headaches which makes me feel too ill to work on crafts in bed. I still have to spend most of my tile lying down but my head is better so I plan on crafting my brains out this weekend and mail on Mon. I have a ton of stuff here all ready to go. I will try to contact all my outstanding trades and let them know the stays of their goodies, also expect lots of extras guys for all your patience.

Have been very ill again will try to get caught up with individuals in the next few days. I have a bunch of packages that are ready to go I just haven't been able to get out of bed to mail them. So sorry guys I just don't get any kind of warning when these attacks hit.

We are back in town now, unfortunately I fell very ill on the way back and I am just out of bed again now. An 18 hour car ride with vomiting and as well as "that other stomach problem", talk about a living nightmare! It has taken a long time to recover! I plan to spend the next few days logging the huge pile of mail that I have and answering all my messages. I will also let anyone necessary if I am behind on anything, I won't know till I go thorough everything. I'll try to get through it all as fast as possible.

I will be out of town from the July 8th to the Th and probably won't have any Internet access. I will answer any mail sent during that time as soon as I can when we get back. hopefully so,e of the packages I sent out recently will have started to arrive at their destinations although the overseas ones will be a while yet.

UPDATE: ALL THE SWAPS I WAS BE HIND ON ARE NOW IN THE MAIL, IT HAS BEEN A TOUGH FEW DAYS AS i STILL FEEL LIKE I'M ONLY HALF ALIVE BUT THEY ARE DONE AND MAILED.

THE PO ESTIMATES 6 TO 8 WEEKS FOR THE OVERSEAS ONES BUT I FIND IT IS USUALLY QUICKER THAN THAT OFTEN LESS THAN A MONTH BUT I HAVE TO GIVE YOU THEIR OFFICIAL QUOTE. THE US THAT WENT IN REGULAR ENVELOPES TAKE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND THE BIGGER ONES ABOUT A MONTH ALTHOUGH AGAIN THEY ARE USUALLY FASTER. THANKS FOR EVERYONE'S WELL WISHES AND FOR THEIR KINDNESS WITH GIVING ME ALL THE TIME I NEEDED BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE ANYONE HANGING ANY LONGER THAN NECESSARY,

l LUV YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE!

JennieGee IMPORTANT HEALTH INFORMATION - I HAVE BEEN SEVERELY ILL THE PAST 2 AND A HALF WEEKS TO THE POINT I SPENT SEVERAL DAYS IN HOSPITAL AND THE REST OF THE TIME COULD NOT EVEN GET OUT OF BED.

THE DAY I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL WAS THE SAME DAY i PLANNED TO GO TO THE POST OFFICE SO IF THERE ARE THINGS THAT SAY THEY ARE SENT BUT YOU HAVEN'T GOT THEM THEN THEY ARE STILL HERE ,THEY WILL GO OUT TOMORROW MORNING NOW THAT I CAN SIT UP (Janith/09) (I have mailed all the the stuff that said it had been sent today June/09, They should start swinging up in the next few weeks

I HAVE A BUNCH OF STUFF THAT IS READY TO GO, JUST NEEDS TO BE PACKAGED AND I WILL HAVE THAT IN THE MAIL MONDAY. (Dotee is gone) (Pasta is gone)

EVERYTHING ELSE THAT SHOULD BE GONE OR GOING THIS WEEK WILL BE MY PRIORITY AND AS i WAS IN A GOOD POSITION WITH EVERYTHING UP TO DATE WHEN I GOT SICK, IT SHOULDN'T TAKE TOO LONG TO GET CAUGHT UP AGAIN

IMPORTANT- IT SEEMS THAT EVERY WEEK I GET ENVELOPES WITH TEARS OR EVEN THINGS HANGING OUT OF THEM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE POST OFFICE DOES TO THE MAIL THAT IS SO DAMAGING BUT IF YOU COULD PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO PUT SOME PACKING TAPE ON THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE ENVELOPE YOU ARE SENDING ME IT WILL HAVE A MUCH BETTER CHANCE OF ARRIVING IN ONE PIECE SO I WILL GET ALL YOUR GOODIES. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR EXTRA EFFORT.

if you have not received your swap from me would pm me first, and I'll do the same for people taking a few weeks, I don't rate 1 without messaging first,I ask you to do the same as that being so far away the mail can take up to 3 to 4 weeks from Canada.

My Twitter name is Jenawin as JennieGee was taken and I use Jenawin and Jenawin for other things.

PLEASE DON'T SEND ME ANYTHING SMELLING OF SMOKE AS I AM HIGHLY ALLERGIC!

blue crayons is a very unsympathetic and unkind person my experience (I can't speak for your experience) and will not be trading with her any more. Anyone who expects you to leave a note that your ill and have been rushed to the ICU is not a very kind or thoughtful person. When exactly was I supposed to leave this note, when I was passed out on the couch getting ready to go to the hospital or from the ICU itself. I got a 3 from her cuz I almost dyed. What a lovely person. I never on all the groups I have been in I thought I would choose to ban someone but she just takes the cake.

Comment: I've had a long think about this and decided that its only fair to other swap coordinators that i rate you a 1 for now. You marked this as sent on 22nd October yet i got a message on the 30th to say you'd only just posted it and now you've signed up for lots of new swaps, before your other swaps have arrived safe and well. When the package arrives (swap deadline was 31st August) i will be happy to change the rating. I am aware that you have been ill and had computer issues etc, but i feel that those who set up swaps ought to be aware of the situation. UPDATE November 5th Received the items today
Response: well it will arrive soon, you will have your food as soon as possible I spent extra money on the postage so it would make it faster. It didn't get out the day I hade hope as my hudband was out of town unexpectly and he is the only one whe can drive. I am sorry, when you told me your plans for the food it thought you were pretty realaxed about the whole thing as long as it gets sent. That's why I sent you an update to keep you in the loop. By the way I did ask my husband to mail it and he daid he would but it was still in the trunk when he got home 2 days ago, I couldn't have mailed it I actually thought it was gone then but I wanted to check with him before up datinmg you, They will be there as soon as the post office delivers them.

Comment: Jennie, what a wonderful package! I like the samples, and the hand dyed paper and butterflies are fantastic. I would give you a dozen hearts if I could!
Response: I am thrilled that you liked it and if you ever want more paper let me know and we set up a private trade for them. Some of them are so lovely. They will usually work in a cricut machine as I have used it in mine.

Comment: thanks so much. Loved it all, and you make very lovely paper.
Response: I am so glad you like the paper, every time I make it is different which is cool. If you find you really like it and want more we can always set up a private swap or ask me for some if we get paired up again. It even works in my die cut machine.

Comment: Sorry, it's been almost 2 months and I have not rec'd anything. Update: Thank you for the swap rec'd. However, it was two months late after I had to contact you first and was promised it would be sent out after the first month. I understand that you are having health issues, but I was promised this swap quite a long time ago. This was one of my first swaps ever on Swapbot.
Response: i have sent you all the info in a PM. Your swap plus lots of other goodies will arrive in 2 to 3 weeks

Comment: Well it's been over a month since this swap was to be sent out. You mentioned continual health issues and now computer problems and my patience will only stretch so far. Life happens, and Swap Bot must play second fiddle which is to be expected.. Hope things turn around for you... Update.. Thank you.....The Geisha pkg was lovely. Following the guidelines of Swapping I am still giving a 3 rating.. Sometimes there are just too many issues in a person's life that need more attention than entertaining the guidelines of fulfilling a swap. Your profile is totally about health issues and computer problems so those should be your first concern. Be responsible for your own actions, and stop contacting me. The DRAMA of your life is not needed. Deadline to mail out was Aug 21st, package was sent Sept 22.. arrived 25th from Canada.. So delivery did not take several weeks as you had mentioned.. :D
Response: It arrived so quickly because I spent extra money than normal mail

Sorry you have been ill and have had computer problems.

Could I suggest that when you put a new paragraph on your profile, to update about what is happening, that you also put the date you are adding the new information? Otherwise it is not possible to tell what information is older and what is new.

moxsapphir on Sep 24, 2009:

Please rate me or at least write me & let me know how you liked my Luckiest Lucky Parcel! I hope your computer gets fixed real soon! :-)

HeatherBloom on Sep 19, 2009:

I read that your computer access is on the fritz, so I thought I'd message you here too. A bunch of us over at AtlasQuest are concerned about you and hoping for an update. I understand that your health has been a problem, but a few lines about where the swaps you're hosting stand would really be appreciated. I know that I'm waiting on three. I'll be happy to pass along any news you can give. Thoughts for your health, LunaSea
