Happy Birthday in 2015!!!

MARCH 20

January 5th!

September 8, count me in too please :)

I'd love to participate! Great idea! My b-day is June 17th.

November 30

I have been pretty selective in who is permitted to join the swap and have been reviewing profiles, comments, and other information. However, joining a swap that spans a whole year has different risks than a short swap. Should I need to, I can and will angel, but I am very hopeful that no one will drop out before years end. Regardless, I will ensure that this zwap is a positive experience for everyone.

MAY 16!!! Can't wait!

Doesn't look like July is taken, so I'm in - July 22nd!

I just signed up. My birthday is Feb. 25

As a reminder, please don't sign up for this swap unless your birthday month is available! Thanks!

To those who are watching this swap, there is a second one that was set up. If your birthday month is taken here, please check the other swap here: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/190345

Also, if we get to December 21st and I have not filled all the months, you can opt to take any months that are open, even if it's not your "official" birthday month. AGAIN...this is ONLY if I have an unclaimed open month on December 21st.

Please leave a comment below if you would like to adopt an orphaned month.

If no one joins for December it might be fun to send everyone a Christmas card that month, just an idea!

I like that idea for December!

I second the December idea and maybe we can do something similar for the other open months too.

October 19th here! :)

If you decide to let people join in an off month from their birthday, like are doing in the group #2, I will gladly take a month. I am Sept, but it is taken in both swaps. I did one of these a couple years ago, and it was so much fun. Thank you.

August 17. So glad I can join up again. Ty for changing the sign up date

Okay Ladies!

@momaw2masonandabby I added you as April.

Currently, December is OPEN with no required mailings for that month. You can, if you choose to do so, send Christmas cards to the swap members, but this is not a requirement and is optional.

Partners have been assigned!

Make sure you check your PERSONAL E-MAIL (not your messages here on swapbot) for monthly messages from me reminding you to send your gifts and who to send to. You can always check back here as well...

Remember: (1) This is profile based so make sure your wish lists and profile are up to date. (2) Mail with tracking and message the recipient with the tracking number. (3) All packages should be post marked no later the 15th of each month.

Please submit positive ratings promptly. You will not be able to rate a 1 until the end of the year/end of swap.

I will be monitoring/tracking everyone's ratings but will not be bothering you or babysitting your partners. If you have any issues/problems please message me otherwise I will assume all is going great with you.

Happy Swapping and Happy Birthday!!!

Just sent off my first birthday present!!! Enjoy Ms. Grace! I don't have the tracking number yet - but as soon as I get it...you will. Happy Birthday!!!

PLEASE NOTE: Don't mark this swap as "sent" until December 2015. Why? Two reasons: (1) You haven't "sent" everything until then and (2) Having it on your home dashboard will serve as a reminder for you. Thanks, Melissa

Please check your e-mail for a message from me! Thanks, Melissa

Grace, my gift to you went in today's mail. Since I'm in WI you should have it in a day or two.

Check your email ladies! The February email has been sent!

OMG! I am so sorry this totally slipped my mind....getting this out ASAP for Feb!

Ok just sent something for Cari (Feb) - sorry I didn't get it done before the 15th. :(

Check your e-mails ladies! The March e-mail has been sent!

I can't believe it's APRIL already! I sent the monthly e-mail today so check your inboxes for a message from me!

momaw2masonandabby - I hope you received the gift from me. Not sure they put my name on it.

Ladies! Please make sure that you include a birthday card in your package with your name and the name of the swap on it! Thanks!

I'm in need of the mailing address of bgailk. I haven't gotten any email letting me know. Can someone please PM me?

Never mind, I got her address. I forgot to look above. Lol. Blonde moment.

I haven't received from several of the group - has everyone sent out for July?

I haven't received for June from TheGraceMartin. She never sent an email with a tracking number then when I sent her a message I never received anything, she said she would 'resend,' but still no message with a tracking number. Still no message or anything from her. Sent convos to the host of the swap with no response. Thankfully, all others sent with the exception of TheGraceMartin. Hope you get your swaps, bagilk!

Hi ladies! Sorry about being MIA. I let July get away from me. Somehow life goes faster in the summer. I apologize to bgalik for neglecting to send the monthly email. I will send Augusts email today.

Hey bgailk - I've received your messages and even replied to a couple of them. You said you received the charm squares I sent, not sure why you sent me a message about flaking. I didn't. I have the message you sent saying you received it.

Ladies, please remember that PrincessBlueberry is no longer in the swap as of January and she will not be sending out packages.

Looking at @TheGraceMartin ratings, I don't see her rated for this series of swaps since March. Has anyone else not received from her?

PLEASE NOTE: October will be the last swap month. I have updated the swap requirements to reflect an end date of November 1st. Thanks!

I got nothing for August from her, @CariahCreates

I got nothing from her at all, She told me she had resent and that was in July, and nothing,

I haven't received tracking numbers or gifts from:

Cariahcreates

Mleerobb

TheGraceMartin

as of 9-26-2015

I'm confused that you're saying that @Cloudgdurl1986 I sent that early and messaged you the tracking number. You even messaged me back that you received it but were waiting until your birthday to open it.

This message was sent on August 28th and you responded that you received it.

Hello, I mailed this a little early so it would get there on time. Also, I have a friend with the same birthday as you so I was already mailing hers out.

Here is your tracking number. It should arrive by Monday.

9505 5109 5306 5240 0882 87

And here is what tracking says:

Your item was delivered at the front door or porch at 4:08 pm on August 31, 2015 in LOS ANGELES, CA 90043.

Someone just informed me that until 2 weeks after the swap ends, you're unable to rate a '1' or '3', only '5's so it looks like it will be a while before you can rate @TheGraceMartin

PLEASE NOTE: October will be the last swap month. I have updated the swap requirements to reflect an end date of November 1st. Thanks!

I love how TheGraceMartin hasn't been on Swap-Bot since Aug 14, 2015 but is on Pinterest pinning my pins right now when she couldn't even send me my Birthday Swap after she got mine to her!

mleerobb will you be angeling to those of us who got flaked on by TheGraceMartin?

Last one sent to PrincessB. Are we allowed to mark as all items sent now?

Hmmm....no answer from mleerobb on here or in PM. oh well.

I have said I have sent on this swap now that I have mailed off to the birthday girl of October. No other swaps to be sent unless we want to mail christmas cards. (but that is not part of the rating) I hope all have enjoyed their special birthdays.

Oy, doesn't pay to be last on the list I guess. I'm still short 3-4 presents and those members haven't been on swap-bot in a couple months. This is sad...

@ PrincessB, I am saddened how this swap toned down as time went on. I already sent you a present but will send you something because its only the right thing to do,,,,do make sure you got like everyone else.

@PrincessB , read above message

This was a fun swap even though several flaked on us. I think I've now rated everyone who I could rate...sure wish I could give a 1 to those who flaked!
