Response: I'm sorry - last I knew of, we were doing your idea, a private exchange, and I was waiting on a card from you to me, to "check" the route. I haven't received anything, but I'll just send a card Monday morning to try to rid myself of this 1. I hope that'll help... :(

Response: II put a lot of effort into this ATC, and sent it on time. My partner later private messaged me, "I was your partner in this swap and I still haven't got anything from you." I replied, "Hi Mia, I'm sorry it hasn't arrived yet - it is a black ATC with a Tori Amos quote that I tried to mold to your profile =/. I did send it on time; I sent it the same day as I did my other partner's (tiffako) Quote and More ATC, which arrived and was rated Sept. 23rd. In my experience, when I have mailed things to both Germany and Spain, they take an extremely long time. I know how frustrating it is when a swap does not arrive. I keep very close track of what I send and receive in a Word document. I looked at your profile and see that you have been having problems with your postal service, as have I (there are many postal strikes going on in America). I know that sounds like an excuse, but it's really just an explanation that I hope you'll understand. If it's okay with you, I am asking for a bit more patience for it to arrive, solely because of the higher shipping cost on overseas packages. If it doesn't arrive, you have my word that I will send a re-send. Again, I apologize - and please do let me know! Sincerely, Emily". I never received a response to this message which, I felt, was explanatory on my part. I would have been more than willing to continue communicating and also to do a re-send, because I was really looking forward to the reaction my work would have recieved. However, since MiaParanoia would rather rate with a '1' than communicate or give me the opportunity to do the re-send, I'll just keep my first '1'. Hopefully my other ratings (all 5's thus far) will speak for my swapping record.

Response: Sorry about the confusion! I actually did include a very small bug in the doodle, near the left middle of the page... (The instructions said, "The bug or animal could even be hidden or not easy to find. ") I hope you can look again and find it! Also, is there any way this comment can be changed? I am new, with few ratings and don't want to look like a slacker...I'm sure you understand! Thanks, and happy bug hunting.

Response: Back when I did this swap and got your kind rating, I was unaware that I could respond. I'm so glad that you enjoyed and could make use of the postcard. You were my first recipient on this website, and you made me feel so very welcome to a site that was at first very intimidating. Thank you for that. Take care!! :)
