Comment: No contact, no package, as of 6/24. If something changes I will rate a 3. Feb 6, 2012 rec'd this swap. Thanks for the interesting items.

Comment: Thank you for the lovely dotee. Had it not been 8 months late, I'd definitely have rated a 5.

Comment: Hi., Ok although i really liked the stuff you sent me. I am giving a three, reason being is it was late. Now being late is not such an issue to me, but you did not even contact me to say you were going to be late. Instead the coordinator contacted me and had to find an angel. The angel was sent out the next day and i got it a week later. Carolyn, if you had contacted me, that you were going to be late, i would have rated you a 5, and maybe even given you a heart.. .

Comment: Lovely package and I wish I could rate you a 5 but it was mailed several days after the swap deadline with no message from you that you would be posting late

Comment: Thx for the beautiful card! (Had it not been sent late, or had you let me know by the deadline that it was going to be sent late, I would have given it a 5 and a heart.)

Comment: I guess you didn't read that it was a Goddess necklace with no plastic beads.:( I hate giving 3's but you must not have read the swap or my profile or you would have never used plastic beads. Better no beads than plastic ones.

Comment: I am incredibly disappointed. I took over this swap because the original host is having a real life emergency. Not only did I send to my partner, but to her partner as well. Now I've been flaked on by you when considering your ratings and things that have happened in the past, I still gave you the benefit of the doubt. Update March 24, 2009: Your response indicates that you will be sending, but I still haven't received anything. Update April 24, 2009: Still nothing, no communication, no swap...nothing. Update December 29, 2010: I replied to your message with my address, I'll change the rating when I receive something from you. Update January 6,2011: Nearly two years after the send by date I received a used lime green blanket, some old postcards, ribbon scraps and a bag of atc stuff. I'll donate the blanket, recycle the postcards, and give the ribbons and 2/3 of the atc stuff to a kindergarten craft project. So, thanks for 1/3 of a bag of atc stuff that I might actually use!

Comment: Thank you

Comment: Thankyou for sending but unfortunately I'm rating a 3 as sent late. Take care,

Comment: Sorry but it's definately not a $10.00 value in my opinion.

Comment: I was very disapointed. It is very clear that you did not follow the swap guidelines, or read all the rules of the swap. The photos were suppose to be printed on high quality paper, and they weren't...Several of the pictures had lines through them, and the paper itself was 4x6 but the pictures were not. They had uneven borders on them, and then you also put post-its on top of the picture instead of the back, and when I went to take them off, it made the top layer of the picture tear. It was evident that this swap was very thrown together and thoughtless. To top it off .17 postage was due that I paid for, when quite frankly I would have much rather have returned it, and been flaked by you. Sorry but I must rate a three.

Comment: It's too bad I can't give a couple of hearts for this package of goodies. It's late but worth the wait. DD went overboard!!! Thanks for honoring the swap.

Comment: Lovely jigsaw piece, but very very late.

Comment: Swap was sent late but also items were very disappointing. This is the third thoughtless & seemingly thrown together swap I have received from you, sorry but I had to rate a 3.

Comment: Thanks for the interesting CD - very cool music - a lot of them are new to me and I love hearing new music. I'm only rating it a '3' since I notice on the mailing package it was sent out on the 15th, almost 2 weeks after mailing deadline.

Comment: sorry

Comment: I should have given this rating sooner. You did tell me the Halloween yarn ball was going to be late but receiving a Halloween swap in middle November was just too long. Unfortunatley the contents did not meet the swap requirements either.

Comment: I've thought long and hard on this, it's the first rating like this I've given anyone. I even contacted the swap host for input. First off - it was late - but you kept me informed and told me ahead of time it was ready, but that postage was a problem. Fine. It arrived after Halloween, no biggie, until I opened it. Most things included showed Halloween closeout prices, meaning it wasn't ready when you emailed. Nothing was tailored to my profile, as stated it should be in the swap. It all seems like closeout stuff you walked down the aisle and picked up at random, or maybe it was just what was left in the stores at that point. Highly disappointing.

Comment: Thanks for the music. The playlist was a bit inaccurate; I don't suppose you have a better one with artists on it?

Comment: item finally rec'd. mailing deadline was 10/1 - mailed 10/26. claims was sent before (but mailed late). but i never rec'd that pkg. regardless, if mailing late, it wouldn't have taken much to shoot me an email to let me know. honest communication is key. and for the record, this is not the first swap she has sent late - a swap i was hosting that the mailing deadline was 10/10 she didn't mail until the 26th. last week there was more than a dozen late swaps on her queue and there are still late swaps on there now.

Comment: This swap was mailed days late without notice but I might not have left a 3 until I saw what was inside. The worst of the items were a dirty journal with brown stains on it that I had to throw in the trash..two crumpled notecards and envelopes and an opened post-it pad. I hate to leave low ratings but I also hate to receive items that have to be thrown in the trash because they are dirty. Please don't send these types of items to others in the future. UPDATE 10/31: I did receive two small bottles of lotion and some gum from you..thank you. I cannot change the 3 rating though because this swap was mailed days late without notice. You only let me know it was being mailed late after I contacted you.

Comment: Sorry, it wasn't the right size and you could have been choosier about what you sent...

Comment: Package was very late & envy was 9x6, not 8x10. I have a hard time believing you would want to receive what you sent.

Comment: Stickers arrived late but it was good to receive it since I had missed out the first time. :)

Comment: Did not receive all items posted in the swap requirements. No cigar box, no bag full of jewelry, games pieces, etc. No bag of images and no emphemera. Also it was shipped in much smaller box than what was supposed to be used as stated in the swap details. And this was the host of this swap!

Comment: I appreciated the thought, but the swap said NEW items. And you sent me stuff from the bottom of your stash. All the products are very, very old. Some things didn't even have original packaging and can't be purchased unless on eBay. I will donate the items to my church so they do not go to waste. Again, I appreciate the thought and will use the ribbon and microbeads.
