Comment: Swap send date was 11/20. She sent me a pm saying it would be late. On 12/13 I pm'd her saying I still had not received it. No communication from her. Willing to change if I receive communication/swap. A

Comment: Hello Lauren, Received your 3 Photo Close-Up ATCs of items you Grip in the mail yesterday. First of all your photography skills are just fantastic. Your pictures are clear and clean and very easy to view. I also appreciate the three items you chose as I have no other items on my Grip photos like yours. So, they are unique. As well, the way you presented your photos was another positive thing I noticed from your ATCs you sent to me this time. In other words, quality work like you always send and please know that I appreciate it everytime as well. It has been a little while since we have met for a swap, but I know we will be crossing paths again in the near future. However, until we meet again--continued joyful and positive swapping experiences. See ya soon. Barb sleepingtraveler
