11/17/12 I sent all my swaps and three of them didn't get :( that makes me very sad. I will send again. Sorry about that. I am totally disappointed with the US Postal services, because they charge us but nothing guarantee they will delivery our packages. :( I didn't get some swaps and my mother-in-law sent x-mas gifts to us from Hawaii and we never got the packages. So definitely the US Postal service needs to become a private company maybe we can trust more on the services and don't loose our money. :(

12/29 - I'm not in any swap until I am recovered. Got bladder infection :( after surgery. I will be fine. I am around, send me a PM you had any problem w/the swap I sent and I will contact you.

Hello friends, I had a surgery this Saturday 12/17/11, total hysterectomy and I am having hard time to move around. I sent all my swaps before my surgery and if you have some concern please contact me. Hope get better from this situation soon. Oh boy I can't be quiet and make me upset when I can't do anything :(

PLEASE IF YOU DIDN'T RECEIVE MY SWAP, PLEASE CONTACT ME!!!

GOT FLAKED FROM:

Anita Brechler-SewMagic

Brandi Beers-brandi2

I ALWAYS SEND MY SWAPS.

IMPORTANT! Packages do get lost sometimes, but I am always willing to resend! If you didn't get a swap from me, just send me a message and I will send new one as soon as possible

Flakers

I NEVER EVER flake, if you did not receive a swap from me, maybe I am dead! please contact me, my son can verify my messages and answer if happened something with myself. If it's International address I will contact the USPS, I have all the receipt with delivery confirmation with me, only International we don't have this option, so I need to find out with the post office what happened with the package.

I hate flakers! If you flake here imagine what you do in your personal life? so, turn around there is always opportunity to change your attitude.

Rating:

It only takes a minute!

I think it's very important to rate our partners as sooner it is possible. It's the way I can find out if you ARE or NOT happy with what you received. I always send extras, not because I want heart, but I know how we feel good when someone cares about us. That's what I mean with my extras.

Swap coordinators:

I think it's very important the swap coordinator to make sure that people signs up for swap has follow the rules. It's easy to create a swap, harder to make sure people are following the rules. When the swap ends for sign up and we know our partners the coordinators rarely will come back to the topic to read what the participants wrote about something wrong happened on the swap.

The true is: swap coordinators are pick with profiles and rating. I am pick with the result of swaps :)
