LET ME MAKE YOUR CRAFT SWAP II (Signup CLOSED; Final Mailout Feb 28)

[xmelinda]

Just wanted to do a little check-in.  I've had a few people PM me to say they'll be a little late, and I've had a few people PM me with DC numbers, but I haven't heard from everyone, and I really need to, one way or the other.

These folks have sent packages:
ChtzpahGrrl
silloh_77
Hawaiilove
alison
ImAKite

These folks have told me they'll be a little late:
xmelinda
QueenofSwords
IQJones
seapj
pellzin
Sparky1131
LiquidScissors
HANABI
jessicakes
706designs

These folks should PM me to let me know their status:
ReesaRe
DeniseM
lilmissdogooder
Freckles
Kayceeann
DithMer
mthompson828
knitkitty
Jackiem27
dixie_terror

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:  It's not so bad if you're a little late.  It's bad if you don't keep in touch with your swap organizer.

Still coming up with crafty goodness.  I will be a little late.

DithMer said she was going to be a little late on the gallery thread...

xmelinda,

knitkitty's package was sent and received.  I already PM'd her and posted in the gallery thread. 

Thanks!

Hi, everyone -- it's time for another update on where we are with this swap.  Even if you haven't mailed out yet, and you feel awful and embarrassed or whatever (LIKE ME), you should still PM me and let me know you're still out there.  Otherwise, I will have to consider you a flaker, and I really really don't want to do that, but it's only fair to the people who got flaked on.  The following folks will be getting this notice, and a PM, and an e-mail from me:

ReesaRe
Kayceeann
seapj
hanabi
jackiem27

Most of these folks, in fact, have been keeping in touch with me, and I just need an update if the last I heard from you was "will be mailing soon".

If anyone would like to volunteer to be a swap angel, in case we need some, please PM me. 

Thanks, everyone

How will it work with "angel" swappers for this one? So we just make anything? I have something already made I can send.

[xmelinda]

When I figure out who are actual flakers (soon, and only one person, I'm pretty sure) I will let you know. 

To be honest, there is no way to truly replicate this swap for anyone who gets screwed in it.  It's just an inherent risk of this kind of swap.  Angels can send stuff to someone who didn't get a package, but it's not made out of the supplies she sent, and there's no way to help someone who put her heart and soul into a package that got mailed to a flaker.  If any of you have any ideas for how to make it right for flake victims, aside from just sending random items to the person, please PM me.  Thanks!

Rawr.  I am just kinda pissed, because I keep checking JackieMs info and it says shes been logged on recently (march 26th) So it makes me mad knowing shes out there and just doesnt obviously care. 

I think it sucks when you worry over what your doing (like I did, which is why I had to mail it out late) because you want that person to like what you have done, and then they dont even say anything.  grrrr!!!

sorry I had to vent a bit once again.

Maybe a couple of us could mail out a few things, that way whoever got screwed over will get a couple random packages.  I dont know about you guys, but I love getting packages in the mail, and times that by however many people are willing to send a small package, that would be cool. 

Anyhow I would be in.  Maybe we could send some supplies to make up for what they lost??

I guess I should be pm-ing this part.  oops
