Ratings Booster

I'm in Australia...please no seeds or incense...anything else is great...thanks.

Same here, I'm also in Australia. :)

Thanks jan and drewzel...

If you are overseas could you please list what you know can't be sent to your country...I don't want someone to put together a great package and have customs take it...

This would also be a great swap for anyone looking to get more hearts (which clearly isn't something you need to do -wow!) It would be really easy to pick MORE than 3! Great list Kimmie. Thanks for hosting this one.

Great idea Kimmie!

Wow! Since everyone is loving this swap so much, after the closing date I think we will do a second round:)

I love easy fun swaps!!

Please no incense or tea..thanks!

No tea or incense for me please. Thank you, it should be a fun swap!

Great idea for a swap! I'm hoping my profile is information enough for my partners...I like to be surprised!

Kimmie you made a great list of stuff to pick from, that's why I wanted to join...so many good options! Thanks!

No labels or seeds for me please. I make my own labels and live in an apartment, so I can't grow much!

Yay last time I did this it was fun, and pretty easy. I too are from Australia so the obvious no sends on incense/seeds etc not sure about tea in the post to Aus, got somet he other day but it was in a foil packet.

Umm just a question out of curiosity, what is rick rack (reff raff from rocky horror popped into my mind), and wax tarts? God damn us naieve Aussies

LOL!!! rick rack is that ribbon that is wavy. Wax tarts look like candles but have no wicks. They are melted down in a burner.

Riff Raff Rules!!!! I love Rocky Horror!!!!

WOW!!! 35 people in the first day!!! I didn't realize this would be such a popular swap...Hmm...Maybe I need to think of more swaps when I am being kept up all night by my two year old!!!

This is a great swap. Everything is fine with me!

This is my first swap. Two of my daughters have been doing it for awhile. They both enjoy it so much I thought that I would try it. I figured this would be a good one for me to start with, since I am new.

I'll take anything but labels and nothing that seems sharp or pointy - not even a pen. A friend got a gel pen in the mail and customs opened the whole package to look through it. She was very lucky to get it at all!

(I'm from the UK)

Hi, I'm a newbie and excited to get started. I have allergies to strong scents but that's it. Everything else looks great. I can't wait to put together my things to send!!Ü

This swap is right up my alley! I love giving random items!

Couldn't resist the shops on the weekend. I now have enough for 6 swaps.

I would like to get everything but tea and wax tarts.... thanks :)

Great idea. Please, no tea, incense, or wax tarts. Have a good one everyone.

I just came across this great site and decided to start with something simple.. This will be alot of fun.. I do have a few questions if someone can answer them for me.. When I sign-up how will I know who to send to??

Only 2 things I probably won't be able to use are inscense or labels..

Thanks, Sara

We made the top ten!!!!

What fun! Everything is ok by me--send at will!

No seeds or wax tarts for me, please. :-)

I'm in Australia too - so no seeds or incense for me, but anything else would be just fab - I love surprises (",)

sounds fun , please no Labels or wax tarts for me thanks carolyn h

Hey,

This looks a fun swap :o)

No incense or wax tarts for me please.

x

I'm glad I found this too. But I will say this right now...there are too many items from the list for me to pick just 3 items. So my partners will probably get a wee bit more!!! No restrictions on what is sent to me. But please, nothing religious...unless it is related to Paganinsm or Wicca. Thanks!

Babygirl, you will get your partner's name after the signup deadline - Kimmie has to check the names, and then will "do the deed" so that swap-bot can randomly assign them... hope that helps

Hi Kimmie, what a FUN swap - I love that there are SO MANY things to choose from -

please don't send me any seeds - I'm not a gardener, and live in an apartment anyway - lol -

(I just joined cuz YOU is da hostess!! hahaha) MaryB

This is my first swap...I am so looking forward to it. I am open to anything you would like to send. Thank you Kimmie.

Hugs to all my new friends, Linda

I finally join a swap of yours kimmie. Hows everything? I need to post out a letter to you sometime. This swap is fun. I have alot of this type of stuff here already. Yeah no shopping to find stuff. Hee hee. I love my huge footlocker full of my swap items to post out. Addicted to shopping.

DiBrittain - if I get your name again, tell ya what - I'll just send the stuff directly to your daughter, since she nabbed the last swap I sent you! good to see you - and you are right, this is a fab swap!

this is my first swap, and I was wondering,

I don't have a lot of sticker sheets, but I do have plenty of sticker flakes.

how many flakes would you say add up to a sheet?

Hmm..I am not sure how many sticker flakes equal a sheet...I just counted a sheet of heart stickers I have. I think there is about 25 on it. So 25 I guess would equal the flakes.

Di and Mary I am so happy that you decided to join...

Mary I got your name again in the notecard swap. I will be sending them soon...

Hello, This looks like fun. Please no scented items(allergies) and no music cd, Other than that I am flexible!

Hi, this sounds like fun. What exactly is a 'swap card'? and how big is a sticker sheet? I've got lots of stickers that are cut from other larger sheets that I've gotten in swaps on other sites. I'm happy to share, but wouldn't want to short anyone!

Swap cards are usually about the size of business cards. They have info on them like your name, your swap-bot name, the name of the swap, swap sent date, and a fun graphic. In this swap you would make them with your partners info...

Since everyone keeps asking about how many cut stickers would equal a sheet, I edited the swap.

What a wonderful oh-so-easy-to-do list of swap materials! Great job, Kimmie.

No incense for me, please, otherwise, I love to be surprised. :)

I'm looking forward to it...but no seeds, please. I love stickers though! :-)

This is my first swap, I'm very excited!

can we break 100??!!!
we are already in second place!

great swap, Kimmie -

almost makes getting up at night with a toddler FUN!

MaryB

I'm a newbie and this sounds like fun. Please no incense (I'm allergic) or tea for me. Thanks everyone! :)

Hey what a great swap, I love your list. No incense or wax tarts (cuz of asthma) for me, please. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

Chy

I'm brand new to swap-bot.. some friends keep raving about this place!.. I'd love to try! :)

We broke 100 and made the top 2:)

I too am new to Swap-Bot and welcome the opportunity to boost my ratings. Thanks for giving me this chance, Kimmie, and for the wonderful list of items to swap! Terry

Thanks Kimmie for this great swap! I don't have a green thumb so seeds would not benefit, and I do not scrapbook either. What are the tarts used for? Panj

Please, please, can I join????? This sounds like just way tooooo much fun. However, Kimmie, you may get a personal email from me. You folks are speaking a different languqge and I don't have a clue what you're talking about --- I'll just put all my ?s in an email rather than take up space here (is that okay?). Thanks for such a fun swap.

I'm so glad this swap mentions karma. :D

Wax tarts look like the above. They have no wick and are melted down into a tart burner.

Sounds fun/easy! There's nothing that I absolutely don't want... but I'm not a scrapbooker so anything "scrapbook" related will get re-swapped. FYI :)

Check out my blog to get to know me... if you are so inclined.

HEY! Ratings Booster Swap has made it to #1!!!

:-)

One newbie, no rating and from Australia, too! Plenty of enthusiasm, though, and really looking forward to participating.

I can't wait to start! But maybe I'll join a different one so that I can start sending items soon.

I can't wait to start! :) However, would prefer not to get the wax tarts, embroidery floss, seeds, and incense, as I don't know what to do with them! But I guess if you send them, it's okay, because I can always reswap them :)

I have pretty bad allergies so most incense is a no-go for me. Everything else is welcome.

Please, no seeds or CDs for me. Thanks!!

Please no lip gloss for me anything else is great I want to be surprised!

132 Peeps in this swap. WOW - Kimmie I'm looking forward to the next one. Thanks, Joan

Please no tea. :)

I think starting early is a great idea.

Im in Aus too, so nothing that wont get through customs.

This is a great one Kimmie. I have just been introduced to this site, and it looks great!

Thanks, Sam

I also think starting early is a great idea!

I am another newbie and am excited about being surprised and surprising my partner ;)

ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!

The end date for sign ups has been bumped up to May 15 due to popular demand of wanting to start early! I didn't start it this weekend because 15 people joined since I sent out the e-mail...I hope that this date works for everyone..

Ratings Booster #2 will be posted on May 16!!! Look for changes in items...anyone has any suggestions for new things to add just e-mail or message me and let me know..Or post it here!!!

it's really too bad it can't be moved ahead just a couple days more - since postage rates go up the 14th of May - if we had our partners by then, some might want to send them before the increase - -

just my 2 cents worth - MaryB

I know, I really wanted to start it early but I don't think it is fair to the people who just signed up.

this swap is great!!!!

please don't send me incense or wax tarts.... I love them but the scents bother my aunt (she's 86)she lives with me. thanks!

No seeds, please, as I don't garden. :-) Terry O.

I'm a newbie to swap bot (but not to swapping!) I can't wait to get started! :) I'd love anything from the list!

This sounds so easy and painless! I'm trying to wean myself off swaps for a while, because I have to move out of my studio while we tear up and repair the floor, so this will probably be the last one for a while, nice and easy!

Please nothing scented, edible, or cosmetic for me, anything paper is great!

Cyn

Yeah, 150!!!! Thanks to everyone who has been joining!!!

And growing.. Congrats Kimmie!

This is going to be a lot of fun. Please no: embroidery floss, wax tarts, seeds,incese, or candles. Thanks!

ATTENTION EVERYONE:

IT CLEARLY STATES IN THE SWAP THAT YOU ARE NOT TO LIST MORE THAN TWO ITEMS YOU DO NOT WANT...LATELY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LISTING MORE...DO NOT LIST MORE THAN TWO!!!!!!!

Good idea! The only thing I don't need or care for is seed packets. Tea is good, but must be caffeine free. :)

Jolly good swap, Kimmie! So excited about this one.. my two "thank you" items would be 1) sewing stuff (buttons, rick rack, etc.) and 2) scrapbooking items. Love everything else on this list - especially gel pens! As Melissa said, check out my profile for more info. Happy Swapping! Cheers, Sassy_Mummy

No incense or wax tarts for me - anything else will be great!

No gel pen or seed plaese, but everything on the list is very welcoming

I'm from the United Kingdom or UK

wow - it was only a week ago, I was wondering if we could break ONE hundred!! - we might hit TWO hundred -

congrats, kimmie! - what a fabulous swap!

justme

one thing, everyone, newbie or not - even if you do receive something that you don't particularly LIKE, you can always "re-swap" it again - just my 2-bits worth, MaryB

This is a great starter swap! I am very excited and will be happy with anything on the list. AnnaO, Indiana

Mary-

You are so right about re-swap what you can't use or don't like.

-Kimmie

can i request a certian partner? if so can i please send to tsampa?

sorry but partners can not be requested. Partners are given randomly by the swap-bot computer system.

Please no seeds. I have no garden space and, therefore, not much use for them. Thank you.

Yay! I'm the 200th person to sign up for this swap!

No "Tarts" or Tea for me please. I heart swaps!

Please no inscents for me. I have no use for them. I am so excited I can't beleive there are 200 in this swap now.

I am cool with any of the items on the list! I can't wait to get started. I love to receive mail that isn't a bill!

No tea or incenses for me please (I sneeze easily)

I'm a newbie so I hope I get this right :) I can't wait to send the goodies!!!

Oh yeah, please no incense (allergies too) everything else is great.

Newbie here too. :X

Please no embroidery floss, wax tarts & incense! Thanks in advance! (:

And just another newbie. Can't await to send cute swap packages... For me please no incense or wax tarts. Thank you ^^

I'm a newbie from Australia... please no seeds, incense, wax tarts, tea bags, CDs or embroidery floss.

I'm just another newbie (and also Ayii's friend offline, so if I get her as a partner, that would just be weird). I'm from the UK, and I don't really mind what I get.

for me please no tea and if you do send seeds only ones that will do well in the shade my lilacs don't do well not enough sun drat!

Nice swap idea!! No wax tarts please, thanks!

no stickers or incense, thank you!

^_^

No lipgloss or incence (im allergic to most)

What fun! I'd been holding off doing swaps because I just got a new job and time is tight, but this should be both fun and easy.

Other than incense or wax tarts (heavily scented things make me sneeze a lot!), I'd love anything on the list!

Please no Embroidery Floss or Seeds. I just don't have a use for either!

hi everyone -- newbie here... everything sounds great, but i wouldn't know what to do with a skien of embroidery floss and could do without rick rack. thanks! this is a super cute idea!

My first swap!!!!!!!!

No incense please, but anything else is cool.

xxx

Hi, I'm a newbie here, but very excited to join this swap! I have allergies as well, so lipgloss/incense are potentially problematic.

Thanks! :-) Mary

I was going to join this swap but ButterflyDreamer AKA Chrissy Trutsch is in here. If you get her as a partner you will NEVER get anything!!

Hey, looks like a great swap, I wanna play!! I would love addy labels, I am still learning computer tricks and printed them wrong almost every time.

this'll be fun! i'd love anything on this list but wax tarts. :)

Another Aussie, no seeds or incense please :)

The Ratings Booster swap sounds very good i would to participate!!!!!

This is my first swap ever - I'm open to anything! Thanks.

Hi im from australia as well No seeds or incense. Not sure about what the customs rules are regarding tea either.

Thanks I cant wait :)

Please remind everyone to actually rate their partner, and to rate FAIRLY. Some of our members get so busy in multiple swaps that they forget to rate their partner ! Important to be FAIR when you do the rating - don't expect the moon when you sign up for these swaps - they are for fun and entertainment.

Singaporean here. great swap!!! everythings fine with me :>

Oops sorry I only just understood what the "I don't want sent to me" items limit meant! Please no incense or seeds (I'm Australian) anything else is fine! Thanks!

Please no tea or tarts (I wouldn't know how to burn it). Other than that, this is exciting!

Congrats Kimmie, this is going to be OVER 250 participants :-)

i'd love anything from the list except wax tarts and incense. so glad to be a part of this!

Please no wax tarts or seeds for me! Thanks! Just to confirm, unused stamps are postage stamps or rubber stamps???

I'm a newbie so I'm really looking forward to this. I'm in Australia too so I can't receive seeds or insense either. Can't wait to start shopping :)

Hi :) This will be my very first swap and I am tickled pink to have found this site. I live in Canada so there may be a problem sending seeds and tea. Really looking forward to making up my swaps and getting started. Kris :)

The unused stamps are postage stamps. Sorry I will clarify that in the list. Thanks for asking...

255 people!!! WOW!!!

I can't believe how many sign-ups there are for this! How cool!! I'd rather not get incense, but anything else would be find. By the way, embroidery floss is great to tie up small packages -- it is very FLAT and can easily go in an envelope, wrapped around a few notecards, for instance.

The picture of the wax tarts was good but what do you use them for if they have no wick?

I am also from Australia so no seeds please.

I am so in love with this website. I have a question, though, do I myself pick two partners or do I wait for an email with two names? Thanks!

Hi. I'm not smart sometimes and I don't read directions, then I ask dumb questions. Nevermind earlier post. Except the love part. I still heart swat bot. okay bye.

This swap has twice as many participants as the #2 swap! Way to go Kimmie!! Wouldn't it be cool if it made it to 300 participants by the time it closes.

Does anyone know what the highest number of participants in any swap is? Have we set a record?

Please no post it notes ot lib balm for me...hubby gets tons of free post its and I am pretty particular about my lip stuffs, lol! Thanks and I can't wait for my surprise!!

I'm in!

PLEASE no incenses or postcards for me! I'm really into scrapbooking and card making so i'd love to get anything related, that would make me really happy!

btw- i know it's written in the swap details but just to let everyone know, i think you shouldn't send seedes or incenses abroad...

Happy swappin' everyone!

plz. no incence - i'm USA-based, but i really don't want any. no seeds either, unless Lavender seeds, which i luvv.

please no lip gloss or anything scented for me. thanks!

plse no lips gloss, or anything scented for me the reason is that i get bad migraines. Seeds not sure as i am from Canada customs might take it.. otherwise i am flexible.. cheers gigi

Yeah, 276 people!!!! We need 24 more by 15 for 300!!! So recruit your friends. Mamaw 10 made a good point about rating. I am going to post it in the swap description...

Please no seeds or stamps (I'm in Canada), otherwise, whatever you like!

I have the same request as many others... nothing scented since i get migranes from many scents (tho, fruity smells are usually okay for me).

I live in Arizona, so anything that would melt in 105 degree heat won't make it to my mailbox....so wax tarts are out for me! I'm not big on incense either, thanks.

no tea bags or incense please.

Wow! I can do some swaps now!

This is my first swap----I just can't wait! I would love anything anyone chooses to send to me---what fun to get little goodies in the mail!

No seeds or tea please.

Please no inscents for me. I just will not use them.

I am so excited for this swap I can't wait.

Please no incense for me, my boyfriend won't let me burn it so it'd only sit in a drawer forever :)

I'm in Australia too so no incense, seeds or tea please. (:

This is my first swap I can not wait, my mom has been doing it for awhile so I can't wait to try it!!! No incense or tea please. Thanks

Wow! 290!!! Can we get ten more people in two days???

No incense or tea for me please and thank you.

6 more people and we will be at 300!!!!

Hi everyone,

It is almost time to assign partners. For the list watchers, I am starting to go through the list of people and banning people.

-Kimmie

I've been watching this one for a while and I really want you to get to 300...no wax tarts for me please!

no tea, wax or incense. can't have tea and have ashma.also no seeds. sorr to be so picky

We just might make 300! We are soooo close.

We are so close!!! We may make it. The assign partners link doesn't usually show until the day after the swap:) We still have tomorrow!

A newbie here....love any vintage type things, bad allergies though, no incense or wax tarts please.

Hi, did I make it 300? I have my envelopes ready to fill...sounds like a lot of fun and a lot of fun people.

I'm just so excited to find this site, to receive anything at all, so that I get to participate, will be a thrill! Thanks, Annette

PLease no lip balm for me - my lips are sensitive, I can only use special kinds.

I'm really excited - this will be my first swap on here. Hahaha whoever gets me and wants to send me tarts wink wink will get a virtual hug or something haha.

I'm really glad the date got moved up, actually; I've been looking forward to this one! No wax tarts or address labels for me (I get a ridic amount in the mail for donating to places already), but I'll be happy to be surprised by anything else. Thanks!

Hi everyoe...

I have to request no wax tarts, though, thanks anyway!

Brewmomma and HelloKitty_13 sending your package right now. I am also in California so you should have it by this weekend. Hugs, Linda aka madtatter7

I have a bad feeling I am going to get flaked as you guys put it... I am suppose to get one package from "diana" and this person has a rating of a 1 and it's a no send. hurts a little. I sent two packages, and only get one... anyone heard from her? I do understand this person has more time, but the other rating speaks for itself. hmm...

Angelica Buder (hello_kitty13): thank you so much for the items. I loved the kitty cat notecard! cheers, Kimberly

I have already received one package from Sparky, thank you so much! I hope that Mary B. and Lucky have received or will receive my packages soon.

I've got a feeling I am not going to receive anything from either of my partners. I spent alot on postage for this swap as I am in UK and my partners were both US. Both my partners haven't sent their packages yet. Not very happy at the moment....

Beth S and Ariana B your packages are on the way. They left the land of enchantment today, via priority mail.

Suefitz and Janice, your packages are on the way from Germany. They are sent via airmail, but still it may take some time.

Chelle523 and AmIcr8tive: your packages are on the way! I'm sorry for waiting until the last minute. I made the stupid mistake of getting a job and now I have to actually schedule personal creative time! gasp

Enjoy!

I must say I am surprised at how many people have not sent yet, and today is the last send day.

I have spent quite a while reading all the posts. One of my packages was received around May 15 - the other one wasn't acknowledged, that I could find. BUT - how, with over 300 participants, did I get two no-senders?!?!?! I'm hoping they just waited until the last minute to send.

I'm in another "ratings booster" swap, and I got two no-senders there as well. It is now two weeks past the send-by date on that one. Today, I cancelled several swaps that I had signed up for, because I'm tired of getting the short end of the stick.

I'm sorry! I'm not having much luck with this thing either.

I'd hesitate to say you got two no-senders when the deadline to send wasn't until yesterday! I was checking back about ratings and such and noted that myself. I have been in a couple of bad swaps lately...in one I received only one out of three...but I'm not writing this one off yet!

Same here, this is my second swap where I have all no sends after the send-by date, but I did end up getting one out of three on the first and another person messaged me that they were going through a lot of trouble and seemed very sincere. If you still don't get anything in a few weeks we could all have a private make-up swap. My partners both loved my packages and I'm sure I could assemble something nice! :D

Hi, they were both sent last night unfortunately, and personal messages sent to both of you (Erin and Lynda). Hope you still like them, Annette

Patience is a virtue, one of mine is now marked sent :D.

I am a bird-brain - I completely forgot about this swap. I shall send them off first thing on Monday. Thanks in advance to my partners for being patient with me.

Panj and Louie Louie, watch the mail!

: )

PS: Wow, I read some of the comments. Since the deadline to send was the 15th, I think a lot of you are going to get things in the mail! I did send mine before the deadline, this is just the first time I hopped on here to alert my receivers.

And I haven't received anything yet either, but I figure I have a week or so, right?

I completely forgot about this swap as I sent my stuff out pretty early. How fun, I got a package Saturday from VintageChica. Thanks for the great package! Hurray! Hang in there, peeps, although it's a bummer to not receive packages, it's always very, very great when you do!

Nicamo and MamaTurtle...your goodies were mailed out last Friday, June 15th. Enjoy!

Looks like I got one no-send. :/ Ah, well. I hope my packages were both well-received!

Still 51 'Not Sent' hanging around. 2 of them are my partners! OHH JOY!!!!!

With that many no-sends still hanging around, a make-up swap might be in order. I know I'd be willing to send a few angel packages out! I keep finding myself picking up cute things on the off-chance they'll come up in a swap, anyway.

I still haven't received anything from either of my partners...I wouldn't mind if it was just a card or ATC, but this postage cost me alot as I am in UK....I'll give it another week - but I am not holding out much hope....:)

heartnyou & DarkMtinousShannon,your packages are on thier way, thank you for your kind words and understanding.

Kissofdawn - Thanks for the package that arrived this morning. The colour combinations are awesome, the ribbon is amazing and the bluebird ornament you made is superb - thanks again.

Still waiting for athenamat to send her package...

I was lucky enough to get two brilliant swappers, but I'm curious - where's Kimmie? Her profile says it's been deleted, so those of us that haven't received our swaps yet will have to find some other way of contacting our partners, if they won't reply to our emails and PMs...

I scored really well!!! Slicktown has marked hers as sent, but however, her account has been deleted, so I dont imagine she actually sent her package, and Betherann still hasn't sent hers.

Thanks girls. Much appreciated!!!

I have only received one package and the other swapper hasn't had a rating for a month. I know she has read my messages to her because it tells you when they are read next to them on the site - but so far she has not acknowledged me. Anyone else waiting for one from Luckyblue03 - because I wasn't so lucky!!!!

I haven't received anything at all and one of my partners has a deleted profile. In addition I'm pretty sure I sent a package to a scammer. oh well what can u do.....

Wow.........

I sent my swaps off back on May 30th, and still haven't been rated by one of my partners. I don't think I ever will. And.......I know that for those of you who didn't receive anything you probably don't care to hear about my lack of a rating. LOL..... But I went to a bit of trouble getting her package together, and not even a thank you. :-(

Not that it will change things or to draw sympathy, but this is a pic of what I sent her. http://www.flickr.com/photos/68149353@N00/522320276/ Anyway....... I went to check her out and leave a comment because she has not read my messages. Her profile has oodles of 1s. You would have thought she should have been tossed from the swap. I'm now a bit curious about the other no-senders.

Well,........with that said and done, if Kimmie will send me a list of those who didn't get anything, I will try to put something together form them. Hmmmm...........maybe I should contact kimmie directly???

Well..........hope you all have a most beautiful day. Robin

Oh geeezz..........

This is just too weird. I went to Kimmie's profile to ask about getting me a list of people only to find she is dropped from swap-bot. Even the host is a no show. Wow!!!

Hmm I sent out both my swaps early, but got rated for neither and one of my partners seems to be a total flake. =(

I have been flaked a gain I think I have a gal who has no sends. Yuh I have been flaked on so many of my swaps. this is so irrating.cat

Sympathies to all who didn't receive. This is my second swap in a month where neither of my partners sent to me! I love this kind of swap, with it's variety of stuff, and I had a great time looking for things to send to my partners. However, I am again disappointed that I received nothing.

I just have to ask myself...is this my version of the lottery?? Some swaps are bigger gambles than others, and given the size of this one, it maybe wasn't a good bet!

Patty J and Maki K, ur packages are sent! i'm really sorry it didnt get out earlier, im going through an insane period in my life right now, with my dog's health issues n an internship that ends late at night and leaves me a soulless zombie.. but its no excuse, i tried to make ur packages extra special to make up for my extreme tardiness!

sorry!

I never recieved anything either from the gal and I have emailed her and no response. Her profile has only my 1 rating for not sending.

Both the person I never received from and the coordinator have disappeared. :(

I received a nice package the other day, with no identification in it. If the person who sent to me reads this, please let me know so I can rate you.

Thanks!

Never mind, I figured it out.

I'm your partner at Rating Booster swap. The deadline was a month ago and have no news about your sending. Sadly must rate you with the lowest rate. If you decide to send out what you promised joining the swap... I'll think about changing my rate. Thanks! Janine

The message above is for "sugar melts in rain" ((sorry))
