******to the swapper who sent me the purple Angelina fibers ... If you see this let me know I can't find your name and address !! *******

I know now why some swappers say they always send their swaps out on time... I always do as well ... I just mailed 7 atc's and a small box and the very nice clerk got everything so confused !!! I had to tell him two of the swaps were for out of country then he stamped and voided the priority box three times then he took a while to decide whether the letters were too thick or not .. He then gave me a total without including the box and had to start all over again!! I can only hope they all got delivered... So please let me know if you don't receive one of my swaps!! I will re-send if necessary and go to another post office! Thanks ...

I would also like to say that if for some reason one of my swaps doesn't reach you please let me know and I'll immediately make it up to you... Also just let me know if something comes up and you can't get yours out i will totally understand just let me know...I normally make my swaps as soon as a partner is assigned and mail them out the next day...
