Pink Care Package

Question 1: Can we include handmade items?

Answer: I don't see why not! There is nothing more special and more personal than a handmade item (I love crafts that I didn't have to make). I hope this gives a chance to get really creative with the color pink. Just remember to check out your persons profile and links if they have one and keep there interest in mind. Enjoy and have fun!!

This sounds fun! I love pink

There seems to be a lot of concern for "no sends" and low ratings. I stated in all my other swaps that I don't care if you don't have a rating yet, but if you don't send then you will be banned from future swaps. That is only fair to those who spend the time and money sending things out. I will be checking closer to the deadline for "no sends" and ban those who have a history of it. I'm sorry if this seems rude, but I have been emailed several times and I need to be fair to the masses.

Aww this sounds like so much fun! =[ I would've joined but I have a problem with shipping international, it never gets there or I pay more for shipping then I usually do on the worth of the package. =[

Sorry, can you let me know when our swap partners will be assigned?

Partners are now posted. Have fun!!

My packacke is on its way and I had a lot of fun. Hope my partner will enjoy it too. :-)

Regarding our swap partners, are we receiving packages from the same person we're sending to? I'm having a lot of fun with this, should be ready to send soon!

Shannon, No, it is usually a different person that sends you something. That's not saying you can't have the same person, it's just not as likely.

Due date is soon upon us!! If anyone has a problem or can't send on time please contact me and let me know what's up!

Hi- this msg. is for Danielle Bean, who I think sent me my pink care pkg. It was wonderful and was filled with all types of things pink, along with a lovely note reconizing my upcoming nuptuals. That was extremely thoughtful of you. Loved all the goodies!!!!! I recv'd my pkg. on 11-3-06

Hi-this msg. is to Danielle Haines. I accidentally addressed you in the previous msg. of thanks to Danielle Bean. I apoligize for the error, and do reconize you here with your correct last name. Thanks again for my lovely box full of goodies that you sent to me.

@ Carly George did you recieve my package?

RiRi, I'm so glad you liked your package! And congratulations, again! And it's okay that you got my name wrong in the first one, I knew you were talking about me :)

I cant wait to see what I get, :) Can my partner just let me know if they are shipping internationally and how long it is suppse to take. thanks

Claire, thank you so, SO much for my pink care box! It is WONDERFUL! I love my items, thanks so much! -Danielle

I see you're the only Jen on the list of participants so it must be you I mailed my package to. According to Express Post you received your package November 6th.

You are so welcome, Danielle! I loved putting it together for you. This was a VERY fun swap!

If your package had 3 skeins of yarn in it I got IT!! Please check my blog I posted pics, let me know if thats your package!

It had much more than just 3 skeins of yarn in it, but yes I checked your blog and it's the pink package I sent you. Canada Post is still checking on why you claimed it hadn't made it to you when clearly it had.....3 days ago. They don't take claims like that lightly, nor do I.

I know that the postal service can get tough at times. I had a neighbor investigated by the feds just for opening my mailbox. Who knew that they would make such a stink, but I guess that it is a big 'ol crime to mess with the mail in any way.

However, I'm glad to see that everything did get to where it was going!!

Hi this message is for Maryn Gier. Would you please let me know when you get the package that I sent to you. Thanks.

Hi- This message is for Maryn Gier AKA Monkey's Ink. I would like for you to please get in touch with me. You sent me a rating earlier today regarding the pink care pkg. and it was shocking to me to see that you rated me a (1). I would like to know why you gave me such a low rating as I met the requirements of this swap and I also sent you more than what the requirements of the swap asked for as far as the monitary amount, so would you please explain why I got such a low rating from you. If you noticed before you gave me a low score, I had a perfect rating of (5's) and with you low rating me, without any explanation that lowered my score to less than perfect, so I would like to hear back from you as to why this occured.

Hi, this is only my 2nd swapt and i am upset because obviously the swap partner I was assigned, (Rhiann, (who has a rating of 1 (ONE), never sends to anyone, so she basically just "steals" from people like me. Why do you allow such people to participate? I spent over $50 on the person I was assigned, and since she lives in the UK, I also had to spend nearly $20 in postage. Don't get me wrong, I love to make people happy, and I sent wonderful things, why do you let thieves participate? The person I was assigned is "Rhiann" "Rhiann"... if you check her feedback she has never sent anything to anybody. This is also sad and unfair to the person who I am sure sent her wonderful things.

Just to clear something up, when Rhiann joined this swap she didn't have a rating yet. I am going to start my swaps from now on with only people who have ratings to avoid this in the future. I have noticed about 4 members that pull this scam and it's sad for the people who do join and want to start somewhere.

Fairykiss, ok thanks I appreciate that. I reported her to swap bot, but of course now I am out the $70 I spent on my partner, and have nothing in return. I don't think I can afford to risk trying a swap again. Could have been a fun thing. I hope everyone else has a good experience.

Received my pink swap from Tempted Taboo today. Loved everything and it even had candy! Candy is good. Thanks Taboo!

I thought I was emailing someone at Swap Bot, I didn't realize how that worked, and what I wrote thinking back now, was really directed toward the person "Rhiann" who was supposed to send to me and didn't. I also didn't realize that all of her feedback was new... not posted before this swap. I really am one of the kindest sweetest people around, I promise. I come from a Law Enforcement background, and felt silly to have been duped in such a way. I definitely am sorry for directing my anger at you, that was not my intent, but it is in fact, what I did. I apologize sincerely. I feel terribly enough, for making you feel so badly, and would only feel worse if you sent me something like you mentioned (an angel package). Please don't. It is so nice of you to coordinate swaps, and I really didn't realize the "coordinators" aren't part of swap bot. Please accept my deepest regret. Sincerely, Sheila (aka) She She

She She: I just emailed you.... no hard feelings!! I know how much it sucks to send and not receive. I'm sure anyone here can agree with me on that. However like I told you in the email, there are some great people here and send some amazing things. I have meet some fantastic people here and hope to continue to do so even if that means I have my run-ins with no senders.

Everyone else: if you don't get anything please let me know!! I keep a log of no senders and once is all you get with me. I hate doing that, but some of these people are just milking it way too much. Thanks!!

Hello She She, I would like to send you an Angel package. If you allow, let fairykiss give you my email and I mail you. I know how you feel and I have too a handfull members without ratings in the begining in my swap which have now bad ratings. I thought about that too, that in future I only let people with ratings, good ratings join my swaps. Otherwise I was once new too. sigh It's difficult.

Drachenfrau, Thank you! I am sending you and email right now. As for new swappers another good thing to do that I will be doing in the future is check profiles and see if they took the time to fill it out. I also email new swappers to see if they respond, if not then I can assume that they are not serious. I know that won't take care of any problems, but maybe cut down a little.

Joy...I'm so glad you loved my package! I purchased some of the same things for myself...he he he
