Somehow I forgot to join the pink owl swap, so I'm definitely going to remember to join this one. Owls ROCK! Anyone want to do a private pink owl swap with me?

OH. MY. GOD. I am so excited for this! It's like a sequel! My pink owl ATC came out really nice, and I can't wait for big brother to come along. Wanna see my pink owl? Looky here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/73947713@N00/3843099392/

P.S. Can we do a yellow androgynous owl next?

glittersnap 08/24/2009 #

You Rock Too :)

I had to learn what androgynous was and then come back to swap-bot to talk about it. hahah. JackieMello, I would be honored to do an androgynous yellow owl swap. So, Blue & Pink might have cousins? Yellow cousin. I hope I got the right definition of androgynous :)

MissEyelash 09/ 3/2009 #

haha, I love the idea of the androgynous yellow owl swap!

JackieMello 09/ 4/2009 #

Glittersnap - that's a cute idea! But I meant it like this: 1. being both male and female; hermaphroditic. 2. having both masculine and feminine characteristics. 3. having an ambiguous sexual identity. ( from Dictionary.com)

Here's my pink owl...my swap buddy really liked her. I'm certain there will be a family resemblance between she and her brother!

I am a newbie ! I have no idea what I am doing on here - people over at etsy recommended the site. Am I eligible with no feedback? I would love to do a blue owl swap!

Also, I would also be up for a pink (or yellow) owl swap if anyone is interested. Feel free to contact me :)

JackieMello 09/12/2009 #

Paula, I don't have a facebook account so I can't see it! Did you post it somewhere else?

I don't like the pressure of sending extras and coordinators who force to send them. I really like the idea and the pink owl ATC swap was fun, but I will drop from the swap because of that extra-forcing.

It was meant as encouragment. And a special package deserves a heart. I hope everyone is excitted about their blue boy owl. Thank you all for joining, I had a super fun time making my blue owl, he's all ready to go with all of his cute little extras.

I was thinking we should do the andro yellow owl is everyone ready for yellow owl ????

Paradasia 09/19/2009 #

I would love a yellow owl to add to the family : )

JackieMello 09/19/2009 #

I'm totally ready for andro-owl! Mine's gonna have a mohawk!!

glittersnap 09/20/2009 #

Very cool. what color.

moravanka93 09/21/2009 #

Well...I understand the coordinator's suggestion of receiving a star if you send some extra's with your ATC...Even though I'm not here to collect stars, it stunned me to realize that even if you do send them, your partner not only doesn't give you a heart but doesn't even write anything at all to your rating... Yup, I am disappointed:(

JackieMello 09/21/2009 #

I also took Glittersnap's statement of " Make your partner sooo happy by sending her some cute extras and get a heart for being kind" as a suggestion, not an order. I don't think she was trying to be overbearing or bossy in any way. I think we all interpret hearts in different ways. In the first few ATC swaps I entered into, I was giving hearts for those who gave extras. Then I sat down and thought about it and came to the conclusion that this wasn't fair because it basically meant that swappers could "buy" their hearts. Now I only give hearts for work that goes above and beyond and shows a lot of love and effort. Does this mean that I expect work that goes above and beyond? Absolutely not. Most of us are busy people - I work full time and attend graduate school at night and I can't send out a masterpiece every time I send an ATC. But I do my best! I think that's all we can do.

JackieMello, Thank you for taking the time to explain all that I could not. I run a business and have two kids and constantly feel guilty for participating in any freaking swaps. Your cool!

hollyfly1 09/24/2009 #

Thank you JackieMello for explaining the heart situation. I think some swappers are hurtful with the hearts. It is like their power tool. I love getting extras, and don't rate because I got extras, but it sure is nice of someone to send them. So I make sure to message that in my rating them. I love these owl swaps. Glittersnap is a wonderful artist and I am thrilled to be able to swap with her and in her swaps she coordinates. Yellow owl coming soon. And Glittersnap stop feeling guilty for taking some mom time and creating a lovely canvas. <3 can't wait to see the blue owl I get.

@JackieMello sent me an adorably cute Blue Bubba Owl. I even got an introductory letter! I'd love to be in the Yellow Androdgenous Owl swap too!
