Comment: The package arrived really quickly, that was awesome! Thanks for the stuff! The bracelet made of handmade paper beads is really beautiful! They look awesome! Yes, thank you for the package.

Comment: I'm really very dissapointed with this swap Erika! Not only did you sent not your own swap, you didn't even sent the whole swap your partner sent to you (there's a shrine missing)! And on top of it, you didn't let your partner know, that you would send her swap to me. I see from your ratings that this is not the only time you did this. Please don't sign up for swaps, if you can't get them done. The only positive thing here is, you did add a note telling me, that this was not your work. But really! *sigh*

Comment: I am rating a three for this because you made one card but sent someone else's as a second card. I commend you that you did not try to pass it off as your own work, but this still was not in keeping not only with the letter of the swap but the spirit as well. From the swap "You will be making decorated mini book of shadows pages for this. Use sturdy card stock like paper and make the pages the size of a regular postcard (approx. 4x6 inches, but there can be slight flexibility)* I also sent you a message on sept. 11, 2010 "Before I rate you a 3 for not following swap guidelines I thought I would give you a chance to at the very least give your side of things, or to fix it if that is what you want to do. How we proceed is completely up to you" is part of the message. You read it and never replied in any way, so I can only assume you agree that a 3 is fair and you have no desire to fix the problem. Update 9-30-10 Since she is claiming I never sent here are the screen shots from my sent folder for her & the message itself. Screen Shots of sent folder & message I sent. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j165/dshaven/eewards1.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j165/dshaven/eewards2.jpg

Comment: Thanks - I love my fat 1/4! I have a few colours in this design, so this will match nicely. Thanks for a great swap. Will I let you know when I've got more stamps ready?

Comment: thank you

Comment: I'm rating this a 3 as agreed with Morgaine because you sent cards made by other people instead of making cards yourself.

Comment: Very nice selection of stamps! Thanks so much!!

Comment: LOVE IT! Thanks!

Comment: Thank you for the nice package. I'm so thrilled you made me the candle holder and incense holder both are very nice. The big shell is beautiful and the incense smell really good.

Comment: Thanks a lot Erika ! I'll send her homer to Helena today, she surely will be very happy ! :-)

Comment: Thanks for the stamp bags. I'm sure I'll pick up a couple of new stamps for the collection.

Comment: Thank you! xx Marjolein

Comment: Thanks for the mint US stamps.

Comment: I really liked my swap and the extra goodies. Thank you. The only bad thing was that it came to me all smashed up. I felt so bad because I could see you had taken time on it. You might want to bubble wrap or box next time.

 

Comment: Thanks for the bags, I will pass them on....

Comment: I was under the impression it was at least 60 lists, not only 60 pages, so I was thrown a bit by yours having only 56 lists. But you had a wonderful variety and the description doesn't clarify. Thanks!

 

Comment: Thank you for the pretty postcard!

Comment: Thanks for the great postcard. I had the opportunity to visit the Badlands two years ago. Your card brought back alot of great memories!

Comment: Very cool pc! One of the things my husband & I want to do one day is visit ND. One day. Thanks for a cool pc! :)

 

Comment: Thank you ! :-)

Comment: Lovely postcard I must say! And the quotes are so very true. Specially the one that says you shouldn't be too afraid of mistakes is like meant to me at the moment

Comment: Thanks for the stamp bags... I'll move them on soon. =0)

Comment: Great quotes! I especially like the one "Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart."

 

Comment: Your swap came today, so pretty, since I can only give you one heart, here's a bunch of stars!! ******************************************************** Thanks again and I hope you'll like your swap, too! I am sending it in two parts, and the second part will take longer, as it is media mail and just going out today

Comment: Thank you so much sweetie for being my partner for this swap and for joining. I loved all the fibers you sent to me, you and I have the same taste in ribbons and fibers... You've been a joy to partner with. Have a wonderful day.

Comment: I really love what you sent. I'm going to add it to my quote/prayer/poem journal. :) (Sorry for rating late.)

Comment: Lovely

Comment: I loved your list, Erika--we are on the same wavelength when it comes to being against materialism, commercialism, advertising, etc. Thank yoU!

Comment: Zev quoted to me exactly what to say to thank you and your son and I wasn't quite quick enough this morning to capture the whole of it. Basically, he was beaming, saying it was a great swap and totally cool additions to his collection. Thank you from both of us!

Comment: Hello Erika! I got my package yesterday and fell in love! The cookie recipes sound yummy, I will deffinantely be making those mint cream cheese ones this weekend! And I love the buttons! I already have some ideas swirling around on what I am going to make with them! Again thank you and thanks for joining my swap!!! I have another swap going on now that is sure to be fun, if you love sewing!! ~Molly P

 

Comment: Thank you!

Comment: Honestly, this site usually disappoints me. I was so happy to get your package, the card seemed produced with so much love & care. The beading on the doll is amazing. I'll hang her on my wall, I couldn't use that as a tag! I'd love to see more of your creations, if you photograph them. Also, if you have time I'd love to continue swapping & letter-writing with you. If not, thanks for the great swap <3

 

Comment: Thanks so much for the lovely letter :-) I couldnt wait and already written you a reply :-) I will ship it off to you tomorrow :-)

Comment: Thanks for all of the great stamps! They were welcome additions to my collection :)

Comment: I love the sand dollar pc and the suggetion on your card. I will definitely be checking into that.

Comment: I can really relate to your feelings here. I would love to go over seas and visit any of the countries my relatives came from. But the postcards are as close as I have come as well. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful postcard! Huge Heart!
