Comment: I've written e-mail and message here with no reply. Swap was marked sent 1 month after deadline....it's now 2 months after deadline and no package from you (which would be 1 month after you state sent). I will gladly change rating if and when I receive a package.
Comment: Thank you so much, these are the best ever, I love them. It is really brilliant the way you've used vintage matchbooks and I love seeing all the far-away places they've come from. This was a fantastic swap.
Hope your computer problems are sorted.
Wishing you and your family a very Happy Christmas xxxxxx
Comment: I loved the pins, the foamies and the sour candy..and so did my nephews. I especially loved the bag! <3 So many hearts to add to this awesome swap!
Comment: First I have to tell you that one of my favorite things to do (just ask my family) is open presents. So I really enjoyed all of the little wrapped up treasures you sent! My favorites are the jewelry, the bookmark, & the tags. The tags remind me of some old family photos we have - and they are JUST as creepy. Have a save & Happy Halloween V'''''V
Comment: there were a few REALLY cute things in the package you sent... Thank you for those.
BUT, it was in a small bubble envelope, not a FILLED $4.95 priority mail box, which is bigger. I sent out my priority mail box to my partner OVERSTUFFED with goodies. we msg'd about this, and you said you'd resend, but I have yet to receive anything. :o(
Comment: I did receive something but it was not based on my profile (Twas a Fridge Magnet Chess Game - HUH?!?). PM'd partner and offered to send it back to her; stated she would resend something else; nothing else received as of today 9/19/09...ARCHIVING THIS ONE.
///
UPDATE 9/26/09: Received PM from partner just now regarding having PC probs. Unarchiving and will re-rate when package arrives.
/// Well its been long enough (2 months today is Oct 27th), This rating of 3 will stand and the item received which does not meet the requirement of checking the partners profile; will be given as a "White Elephant Gift" at work this year for Christmas. Thanks for nothing debisa.
Comment: Love the variety. The green one is so soft. Neat idea about the matches with paper. I have several match holders so I might "borrow" your idea. Hope that is ok. The little purse is super cute! Again thanks for ALL my goodies! :)
Comment: thank you for the lovely cobalt bead bracelet...it's just the right color for me as I wear alot of blue...I'll enjoy wearing this alot. thanks as well for the matchbook notepads, what a cute idea.
Comment: Thank you Debra for the lovely stamps you sent me - you are most generous!
I particularly love the foam mounted ones - beautiful!
And the Cameo on the swap card is very pretty and dainty - thank you again for a great swap package!!!
Comment: Hey sweetie, oh wow, your PC brought back memories for me......i grew up in Queens, NY and i use to love Manhattan.
PS. Somehow the postcard was sent to the wrong place they had a note on there for me (not your fault, chalk it up to being in Iraq). :)
Comment: You are too cool. Okay, you left me wondering though - when are you going to Texas? What will happen with Joel? How did you meet? What is your mom and dad like? Will your dad ever stop smoking? (My dad just got diagnosed with lung cancer - AWFUL). You cracked me up with your flow of thought, I LOVED it. I loved everything you sent me, especially the stuff you made. My ultimate favorite (other than the beautiful bracelet) was the shells. We have totally different shells here. I know, stupid thought -- but it is true. I so totally can picture you as my friend Denise in about thirty years. She is old enough to almost be my mom, but she has the coolest and most interesting personality. So, you have to keep me updated. I need to know the rest of the story...as Paul Harvey says. Your journal totally rocked! Did you know > I am a special ed teacher / I do live by the Gulf of Mexico, but would trade it for the shores of Lake Michigan (where I grew up). My children (whom are adopted) are Italian / Mexican heritage. You introduced a couple of new ideas to me > the book swap and the smile card. I loved this swap. I think it would have been fun to send it two people. I tended to write to my person about things I hope she connected with and would love to see if it would have been different with another person. ANYWAY - THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME SWAP. Good luck in Dallas. Pack lots of shorts, super hot.
Comment: Nice to see someone else from LI on here! Thank you for all the goodies, I think you came up with a good mixture of stuff I like. I'm sorry that it was a challenge. Perhaps I shall add more stuffs! :D
Comment: I do love this charm! I visited NY once in 2005, this little keepsake will be a wonderful reminder that I can actually put on my bracelet and have with me. Thank you! Also, tell your student - cool notecard! :OD
Comment: I loved the package! The map matchbook was really creative and all the beads inside were fantastic (the purple glass beads with the wire are my favorite). Thanks for including the pin and the little note about where things were from. Thanks so much!
Comment: Thank you for the great postcard. I went to New York on a work project. Visit Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Did all the tourist things. Went to as many shows we could get in when we weren't working. Lucky for you to live there. Happy swapping. Linda
