this is an international swap**

ok so how many of us always send out swaps and get nothing back?? sigh~~

for this swap (and for some extra karma points, lol) goto the forum and post all swaps you never recieved, (and a breif description)then

when partners are assigned, find your partner and read their post.... as a good swap fairy you will then send them as many swaps as you can.

you may send them 1 swap or you may send them 3+plus swaps its all good! (some swaps are big some are small, just do what ever you can afford:)

the point is to send them something they never got anyway.....you are your partners good swapping fairy:)

any questions?? please post or contact me:)

note*** if your partner has swaps you dont normally craft, then be creative and send something in that range, i.e a knitting swap but you dont knit, send some yarn a pattern or needles.

***IMNPORATANT SWAP EDIT....THE LAST DAY TO CONSIDER A SWAP NOT RECEIVED IS FEB 14TH. any swaps you havent gotten after that date can be listed in the next good swapping fairy

what a wonderful idea!

lilmouse 01/31/2007 #

I love this idea! My swaps I didn't recieve are pretty easy:

Food for Thought ATC's (3 food related ATC's)

and

Thinking of You Penpal Swap (a Thinking of You card and a letter).

:*)

vilandra 01/31/2007 #

:) this is a really nice idea, The swaps I didn't recieve are:

I LUV PENPALS R2 ( pen pal/letter swap)from one partner

and

Lonely Socks Swap - Send your swap partner 6 mismatched socks.. You know, how you have lots of socks but no spares, then send 6 different socks to your partner.

TerryF 01/31/2007 #

Thanks for doing this noel! Unfortunately, my list is way too long, so I will only give three:

Handmade Christmas Gift Swap: Keep the price around 5USD plus shipping. the gift can be anything handmade, check your partner’s profile if you like or suprise them with something you just love making.

Christmas-Swap: You send a Christmas present based on the likes of your partner in her/his profile. It can be handmade, or bought, 1 thing or more, there's no limit. Price should be between 15 and 20 Euro/Dollar (not including shipping).

Fabric Projects Kit Swap: Items to send: 2 FQs, 1 spool of thread to match, 1 yard of trim/ribbon to match, small baggie of buttons to match (minimum 8) and 2 printed instructions for projects.send. It can be as simple as finding the instructions online for a soft toy, or a pillow, apron, dishtowel. Copy the instructions out of a quilting book, mag, etc...

TerryF 01/31/2007 #

noel: It will be interesting to see if any of my "no send" partners also sign up for this! If they do, would you like to know?

Cassandra 01/31/2007 #

i never received the swap for "lots of chocolate". I love milk chocolate. Dark chocolate is acceptable. NO unusual flavors or liquor filled please. (the 3 other swaps i never received were halloween related so that is of no importance right now)

Zmrzlina 01/31/2007 #

Cute idea :-) I'm not signing up because I could get someone who wants a fairy to make up for a knitting or cd swap and I don't knit and don't make cd mixes. But I love the idea. Here's wishing the fairies follow-through! And thank you noel for coming up with a clever way to make-up for past disappointments.

user2955 01/31/2007 #

I would love to sign up as I was sad to not receive fabric in the fabric, trim and candies swap or the fabric scrap bag swaps. I just want to make sure that no one new is going to be allowed to join. I hope that does not sound mean but how could you have never received stuff if you are new? Thanks.

TerryF 01/31/2007 #

Aly: It is possible to be new and not have received your very first swap if it is really recent and you have not yet been rated (some shall we say inconsiderate swappers don't acknowledge they have received anything or rate their partners). But I agree with you that that would be an unusual case. I would prefer that no newbies be allowed and hope noel will ban any that sign up. I intend to check this swap on February 19 just to make sure. That way I will be able to drop out if I see any newbies on the list. But I'm really hoping it won't come to that!

threesweetpeas 01/31/2007 #

hi, ok so i will try to answer some very good questions.....

i will ban new users(meaning , new user = someone with no rating, this is the fairest way i can tell to think of, any suggestions?)

and i wanted to say, ....your fairy will send only as much as time and cash and skills will permit. meaning , just for an example.......you didnt get anything for a christmas swap, a knitting swap and a sock swap.... your fairy can make you a christmas gift, doesnt know how to knit....but wants to send you some yarn in lieu of a knitted project and the min. for the sock swap was 3 pairs...your fairy can send only 1 pair........

thats all good, even if they can send only one thing on the list.......this is basically a good faith swap:)

i really hope this helps clarify things a bit, :)

Chinita 01/31/2007 #

I'm not signing up because I'm still too new to not have experienced this yet---though I'm anxiously awaiting for items. So, I hope I don't experience not receiving anything too often. It just makes me sad to see people sign up because they want to receive, but don't send. :( I have been on other swapping sites before and have been on the no receiving end and well it sucks. And sure, life gets in the way, but at least have the courtesy to say hey=I can't commit at this time.

I know, tis better to give than to receive, but I know, for me personally I try to put in a lot of time into preparing a package for someone, not to mention the $$-but that's not so much the issue. It's doing something nice for others.

Well-good luck everyone!

lob 01/31/2007 #

The saddest no-send for me was for my son, Kitt, who is 6. He never got the Santa's helper- Kids swap. That was supposed to be 7 small presents for him. I think it's worse when we disappoint the little ones.

As for me, I've only had 1 no-send to me in tons of swaps. Which I figure is a very good percent! So there are lots of good swappers out there! The only I didn't get was The Love Swap.

raesha 01/31/2007 #

What a great idea!! I've luckily only had a few swaps that I did not receive out of the at least 30 that I have participated in. They are: 1. Purple ATC - make three purple atcs - any theme 2. Green swap - up to $15 of anything as long as they are the color green 3. Hello Kitty swap - I think this was $10 of anything Hello Kitty 4. Hostess Apron swap - make a hostess apron for your partner (I would need size large in an apron). There were two partners for this and I only received package from one partner.

Noel - just so you know - I do have one rating of "1" in my profile - the original package I sent my partner never showed up so I have sent a second package which is still in transit:) You can email me privately if you need more details:):)

threesweetpeas 01/31/2007 #

no worries raesha, i understand sometimes things get lost, i mean to say swappers with an OVERALL rating of less than 4 will be banned.

thanks for letting me know,

as always if anyone feels they were rated unfairly and still want to join , by all means please contact me and we can discuss staying in, i do my best to contact all swappers with "questionable" ratings, i just hate to ban anyone,:)))))))))))

user5113 01/31/2007 #

I have only had one no send and it was for a cheap makeup swap. You send 5 $1 items of makeup. I like browns and greys for shadow, browns for lipstick, no blush, black eyeliner and mascara. Thanks to whoever sends this. Oh and if you send nail polish any darker shades will do. Please no bright reds.

mapps 01/31/2007 #

Great idea.

my three failed swaps:

  1. Peace and Harmony swap: For this swap, create, buy, or otherwise acquire (through positive means ;)) items on the themes of peace, balance, and harmony -- okay, you can include love and prosperity, too, if you want. ;) Just remember that the main theme is "peace and harmony." The idea is to bring a Zenlike moment of balance to someone's heart, and a smile to their face; this is a swap about the gift of lovingkindness. :D

You can send items with "peace" kanji or the word "peace" in English or other languages, or you can send items which are geared to help restore peace, balance, and harmony -- or both! Send store-bought items, hand-made items, art, practical items created by someone else in a peaceful manner, etc. Prayer shawls, tote bags, wall art, ATCs, knitted items, "peace" silk, even art or craft or household supplies from "peace-friendly" vendors -- anything goes, as long as it fits the theme.

  1. Monogram swap: three items with A

  2. handmade notecard swap: five different handmade cards

simplysarah 02/ 1/2007 #

the other day I saw one like this on another page that was the swap angels and this worked really well... I emailed swap bots "contact us" bout it...

Im super glad that you guys are doing this... although I havent been screwed yet...

Mimiwonton 02/ 1/2007 #

This may sound stupid but I am a relatively new swapper. Have had pretty good luck so far. Only one no-receive but she contacted me and said she was going to send it. My question is how do you get to the forum? I can't find anything on the site to take me there. Thanks for your help!

threesweetpeas 02/ 1/2007 #

mimi, i would call this the forum of perhaps you are talking about the blog, which you can access from swap-bot home page, just near the log in link:)

VelveteenRabbit 02/ 1/2007 #

What an awesome idea!!!! :) The cool thing about this swap (besides the fact that it is a wonderful exercise in kindness!) is that you really cannot anticipate what you may get. Hee! :D

I've had a few no sends:

  • Greeting card swap (one of my partners). We were supposed to send 5 spare greeting cards - not written in and not holiday cards (just birthday, thank you, etc.)

  • Colour Swap - one of my first swaps. Rather disappointing. I had asked for red and/or green items.

  • One of my tea swaps - for an assortment of six tea bags.

  • Sticker Sheet swap - 3 sheets of stickers.

Thankfully that's pretty much the extent of my negative experiences. There may have been another small swap or two but nothing worth worrying over (not that the tea or stickers were a huge let-down either).

Thanks in advance! I'm also looking forward to possible having to be creative with the partner I will get to send to since I don't knit or make ATCs. :)

keroleen73 02/ 1/2007 #

This is a great idea - there were only two or three swaps so far where I never got anything:

1) Specialty threads - that's embroidery floss

2) Dry food swap - one hot drink, one dessert, one soup, one sauce. I was supposed to get something from Australia but it never showed up :-(

3) One of my three partners never sent me anything in the Free Samples swap. The swap organiser, Sandra from Berlin, sent me some stuff instead, so it kind of made up for the no send.

It is probably a good idea to mail your partner after the sign-up date so they can send you the swap ID# of the swaps where you never received anything.

I don't do mix CDs (only tapes) and I'm a lousy knitter. I've never made an ATC before but I'd love to try.

brnwebgrrl 02/ 1/2007 #

What a fabulous idea! I had no idea that so many people have also been shafted in swaps.

I have had many swap disappointments, but only one on this board, and that was the fingerless glove swap--oddly enough, the first swap I joined on this site.

I don't do mix tapes--or CD's but I do love to knit and do other crafts.

This looks like it'll be lots of fun, and I think that anyone who signs up for this swap and then flakes out should be flogged in the city square. ;-)

Release the Faieries and Angels!

Jensenaddict 02/ 1/2007 #

This is such a sweet idea. There are so far only 3 swaps in which I never got anything.

1) craft book and magazine swap - new craft book and a new magazine (I sent knitting related ones)

2) recycled stuffy swap - recycled soft toy

3)knit kit swap - pattern, yarn, needles (min $20).

I was disappointed about not receiving anything for the knit kit swap because I love knitting and had sent a kit to Spain by registered surface mail (200g yarn + 2 circular needles + patterns). I hope it's arrived.

I knit, I can try to do other crafts, I think my husband can help with CDs, I have no idea with an ATC is but if someone tells me I will give it my best shot. Must warn you, please don't ask me to write a poem or a haiku, I have not tried to since grade school.

threesweetpeas 02/ 1/2007 #

ooh girls , this is great, everyone seems ready to be swap-bot fairys and help out fellow swappers in need. i also agree that its a challenge not knowing what your partner has missed and if you can make-craft it or not. i guess i should get to posting my missing swaps...

and ghost knitter, remember if its a poetry thing you find on your partners list its ok if you look up a poem written by someone else as long as you credit the poet.

THIS SWAP IS ABOUT KINDNESS NOT PERFECTION, so everything counts, big and small.......

also, make sure since there are no rigid requirements to please rate your partner 5 ( a heart would be nice too:) if you recieve something, no matter the quanity.

thanks for making this a great swapping experience:)

user4432 02/ 2/2007 #

I love to join:

I never ever received one of my handmade cat toy swaps. I joined two of them and my three lovely cats are still waiting of there new toys...... ;-)

For now, thanx by Dali, Chello and Cleo

daffyd1963 02/ 4/2007 #

ok this sounds like fun I am in I am fairly new but have been in several swaps and there are two swaps that I never received

1 one rate box swap this was a flat rate pority box costs 8.50 to mail full of leftover craft supplies or craft kits i mainly do paper crafts and altered art but I can use yarn and fabric as well

the other one was a baby bottle swap you got a package of 3 40z baby bottles and filled them with little items for crafting . buttons,beads, tiny images, old jewerly whatever would fit in the bottles I had a blast filling my bottles just wish i would have gotten some back

those are the only two swaps that I havn't gotten

JaneR 02/ 5/2007 #

This is a fun idea! I have been pretty lucky but I never received the following 2 swaps.

Recycled Softie Swap: Make one stuffed animal/toy out of recycled materials. For instance I made a mouse out of a felted wool sweater for my partner.

Swap with Your Partner for a Month Swap: In this swap we were supposed to get to know our partner and send them some little things they would like every week. My partner never sent anything. I wouldn't expect my fairy to send 4 different packages though.

threesweetpeas 02/ 5/2007 #

hi girls i wanted to add 1 more thing, the cutoff date for swaps you never received will be feb 14th. that way we give sufficent time for all our swaps to arrive and i will do another one of these every few months..... no sad swappers, LOL

TerryF 02/ 5/2007 #

Wonderful idea noel!

VelveteenRabbit 02/ 6/2007 #

I'm concerned that someone with a rating lower than 2 has joined. Why would a non-sender need a swap fairy?

Courtney 02/ 7/2007 #

I never received a magnet swap: For this swap you will be swapping at least 5 different magnets with a partner; more if you like but keep in mind that you might only get 5 in return. Magnets can be store bought, handmade or a combination or both. BUT do not send advertising freebies (dominos pizza, doctors, car shops, etc).

threesweetpeas 02/ 8/2007 #

velveteen, i just checked and didnt see anyone with a rating of less than 4, maybe they dropped out:) thanks for loking out:)

VelveteenRabbit 02/ 9/2007 #

Okay, cool :)

JP 02/12/2007 #

This swap sounds awesome! I don't really know how to make a mix CD, but I can figure it out if my partner is missing one. :) I do fiber and paper crafts mostly...but I'll branch out if needed to make up for a bad swapping experience. :)

I have a couple swaps I haven't received in, but I'm going to wait until the 14th to list them, as a couple more are late and maybe they will show up in the next 2 days....Crossing fingers :)

Juli

KarlaKC 02/13/2007 #

This is a great idea! (Thanks, Juli, for pointing me to it!)

If you can believe this, I've actually kept up with my swaps with No Sends to me and have it on a post-it note here on my desk. It allows me to quickly have a glance if I ever see one of these swappers names on a swap I'm on or if I'm partnered with them...

The swaps I never received for are relatively simple ones:

POSTCARDS WORLDWIDE - Send 1 postcard to 5 partners...didn't receive from 2 partners

POSTCARD ADDICTS - Send 2 postcards to 5 partners...didn't receive from 1 partner

HANDMADE ENVELOPES - Make and Send 15 handmade envelopes in various sizes, mediums, colors to 1 partner (I was most disappointed not to receive this one as I had fun making mine and looked forward to seeing someone else's creativity)

PUZZLE BOOKS - Send a puzzle book to 2 partners - I didn't receive from 1 and the other sent a TINY TINY puzzle book(my faves are Sudoku, Logic Puzzles, other Pencil puzzles...)

TURKEY DAY BOOKMARKS - Send 1 bookmark to 3 partners - I didn't receive from 2. Theme was "Thanksgiving" but could be anything about November or the US holiday of Thanksgiving...turkeys, pilgrims, family, traditions, favorite words that describe the holiday to you...

DISHCLOTH EXCHANGE - Knit or crochet 1 dishcloth to send to 1 partner along with a postcard from where they live

LOVE POSTCARD - Send 1 Love-themed postcard to 3 partners, handmade or bought, hearts, pink, cupid, red, etc. - didn't receive from 2 partners

I look forward to receiving and playing in this 'swap'! What a great idea, Noel! :)

user5302 02/14/2007 #

Thanks for this great idea. I told my girlfriend about swap-bot and she is very disappointed as she has sent out many things and received a big goose egg (zero) things back. I am going to have her sign up for this one!

Now as to swaps I did not receive (and if it was multi-partner and I only got one including that) Story of My Life CD mix - put the story of your life to music on a mix cd Flea market/yard sale/thrift store - spend $5 at one of the three and send Fridge magnet - just what it says fridge magnets (I love city/state and local things) This makes me wanna CD mix - this makes me wanna dance, sleep, dream, head bop...etc

that's it! Peace, Raven

Wendelynn 02/14/2007 #

Mine is really simple: I participated in a Valentine swap for kids. My 10 year old boy worked really hard creating Valentines for his 2 partners (we sent candy and homemade stuff!) and one of his partners was a no send! The swap called for 1 homemade Valentine and 1 tiny kid trading Valentine: but honestly, anything in the mail would make him happy. He was really bummed after working so hard. Thanks!!

JennaZ 02/14/2007 #

What a fantastic swap!! Love this idea!

Here are my sad missing swaps: 1-I didn't get stickers from one partner in a sticker swap with a twist swap where you send someone several of your left-over stickers.

2-I did not receive a handmade Christmas ornament from one of my partners in the handmade christmas ornament swap.

3-In a swap I organized, the Thaumatrope swap, one of my partners flaked. http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/619

4-I only got one out of three packages in the family recipes swap.

5-In another swap I organized, the all for your dolly swap, I only received dolls clothes/accessories from one person. http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/878

Farruska 02/17/2007 #

This idea is great, after all everybody here has swaps gone bad , unfortunately.

my bad luck with swaps: (I'm giving the description just to have an idea)

  • the Girly Box Swap - my partner sent her box but never got here :( a replacement or fairy was not sent ... "You have to send a box filled with typical girly stuff to one person. Make it really pretty and luxurious ,if you can. Some of the things you can put in are bubble bath, girly mags (let's stick to english since everyone here understands that), make up, perfume samples, massage oils, candles, sexy underwear, girly book, masque packs..you get the idea- something which makes the receiver feels good!"

  • cold weather care package - my partner never sent anything.... "today was the first day of snow here in ohio and it made me think of all the mittens & warm clothing i have tucked away. you will send one package to one partner. this package can contain anything pertaining to cold weather and things you can do while being stuck indoors."

  • Christmas Stocking Swap - my partner never sent anything and she even insulted me... yes, someone really thinks it is polite to flunk at xmas.. "Remember the fun of opening your stocking at Christmas when you were a child??? Well you can do this again this Christmas :0) Send your partner a cute or decorated Christmas stocking, filled with wrapped packages"

I do hope I meet my partners expectations :)

threesweetpeas 02/17/2007 #

Someone Loves you swap: you send a stuffed animal, a BAG of candy and a card. It is supposed to be a Valentines swap. It ended the 6th. My partner is from the SAME state and I have not recieved! My fave candy is milk chocolate or the new Hershey\'s truffles with dark and milk chocolate! the card can be anything as simple as \" Im thinking of you\" type. As for the stuffed animal- anythin cute as that i had planned on giving it to my 2yo daughter!

I hope i get a swap where it involves kids! So i can make a kid happy!

Farruska 02/20/2007 #

Farruska 02/20/2007 #

Pink care package which was for a box of pink goodies fabric ribbon buttons pens candies paper anything pink.

Fabric trims and candies which was 3-5 different candies 3-5 different trims 1 yard of each and 5 different fat quarters.

RobinT 02/21/2007 #

The only things I didn\'t get was a homemade tea blend which was to mix up a batch of homemade tea and send it.

The other item I didn\'t get was for a swap called \"Spoil my little Pooch\". It was a swap that was to send a couple of little toys or other items for a dog. I sent toys and a handmade blanket to my partner, but never got anything back for my puppy. If someone chooses to do this one, my puppy is tiny and loves chewy things like the \'orca\' chews from Walmart. She also likes cat toys with bells, like plastic balls.

drewzel 02/22/2007 #

I've received 2 pieces of mail from Steph (Drewzel) on Friday and it sounds like there's more coming! Wow! Thank you, Steph!

I loved the postcard of the tram there in Melbourne. I love postcards!

And in separate mail, but also arriving the same day, I received a Sudoku puzzle book with a cute little pencil taped to it and a cute note that suggested I might like to play this "while the swap fairy organizes (my) package"! Wow! Yes, I would like to! :)

Thank you, Steph! I love getting things in "dribs and drabs" as you put it. :)

TerryF 03/ 7/2007 #

My mysterious Good Swap Fairy has now made good on all three of my unreceived swaps! Thank you SO much! Today I received a Christmas gift package with a lovely black satin picture frame, a cute Crayola pencil magnet (for my collection), a handmade beaded ornament hanger (for my ornament collection), a pile of stickers including some gorgeous butterflies and mosaics, and an utterly perfect crocheted (I believe) brooch in my favourite colours. I am so pleased. Thank you, thank you, thank you - you're an angel! T.

RobinT 03/ 8/2007 #

Noel, I sent 1 swap to you on March 9 and have another 2 ready to go out in the mail on Monday (March 12). It can take a while for mail to go from Canada to anywhere, so please be patient! Thx. T.

Jackie,

I have managed to make up 4 of your swaps, and to make up for not being able to do all 7 of your swaps, I am adding extras to the first one. The ATCs are my first attempt, so you have to excuse it if I am not so good, they just about killed me.

TerryF 03/13/2007 #

ghostknitter, that's how I felt, too, the first time I tried ATCs!

123Poggy123 03/13/2007 #

Ghostknitter - thank you for letting me know. You went way above by doing 4 of my swaps & then adding extra's to boot. You earned a heart with this one! Thank you! Jackie

Steph, I received the "Love" postcard and LOVED it! How neat that you got the image from Flickr. Very sweet. Thank you so much for being such a great fairy. I have loved getting each of your surprises in the mail. :)

TerryF 03/16/2007 #

farruska, don't forget that the swaps don't have to be mailed out until March 18, this Sunday...I wouldn't worry just yet that yours hasn't come, I am sure it will!

Courtney 03/17/2007 #

Tassy, I'm glad you liked your swaps.

Whoever was our good swap fairy... What a lovely package! My son Kitt was so thrilled! You really made him smile. And the whoopi cushion was a great idea. He enjoyed playing with it! We had 2 boys over here visiting when your package arrived, and they were amazed. They kept asking who this "good fairy" is, as if they'd like to get put on her list. ; ) I think you made a big impression with them, too, kind of like Santa. Thanks!

Sorry the 18th was Sunday so your package is in this morning's post. I hope you enjoy it. I had so much fun putting it together.

Cassandra 03/19/2007 #

ravenov: your package went out today. It was delayed by a day as the 18th was a Sunday and no po open. Enjoy!

KarlaKC 03/19/2007 #

My swap package went out today - Monday, March 19th! I wonder who it's going to?

JP 03/19/2007 #

Raesha -- your package is in the mail to you as of this afternoon. Couldn't mail it on the 18th as it was a Sunday. :) I hope you like what I sent! I mailed it priority, so you should have it very soon!

Thank you so much, Steph (Drewzel), for the lovely postcard which I received today. It looks perfect for the "Love Postcard" swap, but you'd already sent me a Love Postcard before! This is so sweet with the red fabric heart sewn onto the card and the "Love You" sticker with the dragonfly in the corner of the sticker -- love dragonflies!

You're the bestest Good Fairy! Thank you so much for making up for my missed swaps...you've done an excellent job! I can't wait for Ratings to appear. If I could give you 10 Hearts, I would! :)

TerryF 03/19/2007 #

Courtney, you have finally revealed yourself! Thanks so much again for the great swaps! T.

Farruska 03/20/2007 #

Keroleen73: Received an awesome package from you, thanks so much! You did a fantastic job on the ATCs and am very proud to add them to my growing collection. Thanks also for the Tea Bags and the emphemera and the awesome postcard and beautiful lace. Love it all!!!! Thank you! Thank you!

I am sad that it is now 2 days after the mail date & we still have no sends. Did you just forget to mark it sent?

drewzel 03/22/2007 #

This was such a fun swap! Think we should do it again soon! shame we need to though :( Karla, there's still a couple more things on their way xx

KarlaKC 03/23/2007 #

Steph, I received the "Handmade Envelopes" today (Friday)! How cute are all those dogs! Great job and thank you so much for being a great "Fairy". I'd much rather call you an "Angel". You really outdid yourself! I think you sent me something for EVERY swap I missed out on. You indicated just yesterday that there are a "couple" more things on their way, so I think it's possible since I got the "handmade envelopes" today, that you might have done a dishcloth, too, making ALL my lost swaps fulfilled! (If you didn't do a dishcloth, that is more than ok...it's just that you've fulfilled every swap except that one that I can't imagine what else you could have sent if there were a "couple more" yesterday still to arrive!)

You're the greatest!

KarlaKC 03/23/2007 #

Poggy123, it would be SAD if those No Sends really don't send! But of course, to give them the benefit of the doubt, something might have happened in their world. However, whatever the case may be, if an Angel for this Angel swap (or Fairy Swap), let me know and I'll do this again. It was really a great idea, and I had such a fantastic Angel sending me swaps that I missed out on, that I wouldn't mind spreading the joy some more!

JP 03/24/2007 #

I received a GREAT package from KarlaKC!! Thank you for the bookmark, all the letters, the stickers and everything you sent!! I loved it! :)

123Poggy123 03/24/2007 #

I received 4 of my swaps from Singapore. Thank you so much.

KarlaKC 03/25/2007 #

You're welcome, Juli! I'm all written out after all those letters! :)

TerryF 03/27/2007 #

noel, it was my pleasure, but I am not finished yet - it may take a little time, but more will be coming! T.

TerryF 03/27/2007 #

If anyone needs a swap fairy, please let me know - I can do one more person. T.

RobinT 03/28/2007 #

Jane... stuff on the way to you.... I hope you'll like it!

Hugs, Robin

user2955 03/31/2007 #

I have not received a package and am becoming sadder by the day. Also my person emailed me and said she did not have any fabric. I put a lot of thought into meeting my partner's lacks. Now I am also missing the Bedtime theme zzz swap. Tassy - I might need a rescue fairy. Sad in NY. Aly

TerryF 04/22/2007 #

Aly: I have a parcel ready to go to you sometime this week. Will PM you when it has actually been mailed. Take care, Tassy
