Ongoing Wish Swap Round 36 Discussion

[A2K]

I am sometimes a bad picture poster.  Not because I don't like the items, but because the system I have for photographing is cumbersome and unpleasant.  However, now that I realize how unsettling it can be for the senders, it's my plan to go back and check in rounds 34 and 35 if I forgot to post anything.

Craftily yours,

Therisa

That's cool, girlfriend! I think it's neat that you are going to check!

I haven't been very good at posting pics lately. I barely stay at my house anymore. I promise i will be better. (And post a pic of what Meganloraine sent me a couple of rounds back because it gets a lot of use and i love it)

As long as you love it I hope you're doing better as well.

Hey FarmgirlJane,

Sorry -- I want to claim you for some scrappy squares, but none of my three sent packages have been received yet 

Don't you all hate that? Sometimes I wish we got more claims, but I know that's dangerous (and expensive!)

I think it is really thoughtless to not post pics. When someone doesn't post a pic of my package, I assume that she doesn't like it. I know I'm probably too sensitive, tho.

I know how you feel. I think this way too. So it gets a little down for me when someone doesn't post a pic. Especially when it's something I think came out well or I really put a lot of work into getting just right. I figure they probably didn't like it. And then I wonder where I went wrong.

I think that the first reply was a good one, make sure you take pictures of what you send so you can be proud of what you sent and also you can share it with everyone else as well and then maybe get some feedback from other swappers. It is still a bummer to not have pictures posted of our work and jumping to conclusions is really really difficult not to do, we have some good examples of why pictures aren't taken sometimes... okay can you guys tell I totally feel like a hypocrite since I couldn't speedily post pictures on the last package I recieved?

The other thing that annoys me about pictures is, in a reg. swap, when they post one pic of what you sent them and like 15 of what they sent you.  I understand when people are proud of their work, I know I can be, but it makes it seem like they think the stuff they sent out it better than the stuff they received.  You what I am saying?
