Christmas ATC

hello! i'm brand spankin' new to this so umm.... what's a "no send"? thank you!

dewdrop, it means when someone signs up for a swap and then doesn't send anything to their swap partner. It happens sometimes, so far its only happened to me once. Very disappointing to say the least.

I am concerned that my swap mailed on 10/19 may have been lost in the mail. I mailed another letter the same day/time as the swap envelope and that letter has not arrived at its destination. I sent my partner, scrapkween, a message to follow-up and have not heard back yet. I hope you will give me a chance to correct if the envelope doesn't show up in the next few days. I am a newbie and I certainly don't want a post office glitch to hurt my rating. Thanks.

Whew. She said it arrived!

rainbowdaze who has joined your group - flakes. She was in my charm swap and failed to send her partners anything. They have emailed her, I have left notes for her on her page and she completely ignores us. We know she comes online too cos it says when she last signed in. There is no excuse for this and I would suggest you boot her from your swap. Thanks.

I am not a flaker, I did not get any of your messages, I was completely honest about the fact that I had fallen behind, I left it for all to see at the TOP of my profile. I have NEVER fallen behind before, and I resent the fact that the only time I have ever had some personal issues and fallen behind that I am being called a flaker. I had my sister get online and get an address for me and all of a sudden I'm accused of ignoring messages. Today is when I got the messages, and I replied to all, AND sent messages to all the people I'm late sending to. I had to go and stay w/family to help them in a time of need, and did not have access to the computer, and I KNEW I wouldn't so I left a message at the TOP of my profile to let all my partners know that I was falling behind and that I would send as soon as I could get caught up. I tried to be completely honest about it, it's not like I felt good about it...I feel AWFUL about it. It won't stop weighing on my conscience until I am all caught up and have everything sent. I understand the point of view of all my partners who I am late sending to, but instead of immediately saying "SHE'S A FLAKER" why not look at my profile and see that I am trying to be honest about the fact that I have fallen behind, and that I do feel bad for it. I am working on getting caught up, and as soon as I was back to get on here and get my messages, I did so. Have some compassion and empathy and understand that things happen that we sometimes have no control over. I had to make a choice to get my swaps done RIGHT them or be with my family during a hard time...I chose to be with my family, but try to be honest withh my partners by posting this on my profile. I am able to get back into everything now, and get it all done, and am sending extra w/all swaps to try and make up for it in some little way. And I understand if I'm given threes for this, but I didn't have a lot of options, so I tried to do the best I could. I never ignored any messages, I'm not that type of person, and would never do that. I give respect to others, and just wish for the same in return.
