Comment: April: I hate to rate a 1, but I never received anything for this swap or heard from you. I'll be happy to change the rating when I hear from you or receive the items for this swap. By the way, you were also my partner and you never rated me. :( (And she were also the swap coordinator.)

Comment: Have not received, no reply to messages.

Comment: I will be glad to change the rating if I receive the swap!

Comment: Thanks very nice

Comment: :( rating "1's" is no fun, nor is not receiving a swap (especially the ones of "higher value"). I do appreciate and acknowledge that this swapper did contact me a couple of days after the swap ended to let me know she would be running late , but, the last I heard (Aug-15), she would be sending it the following week. Now, it's a month after the send by date, and it's still not even been sent. I will definitely be glad to change this rating once I've received the swap, but for now, in the interest of representing the swap experience fairly to the rest of the s-b community, the 1 stands. **UPDATE** though the swap was late, the items received were thoughtful and well-made, and I enjoy all of them. Thank you for honoring this swap.

Comment: so worth the wait! It took me a few to realize that the brooms were pencils and I just love my Ron shrine :-P. The Whomping Willow is on my wall and I'll be posting it's picture over the weekend on my flickr. Thank you!

Comment: Thanks for the card. I never imagined Texas could be so green =P Thanks again.

Comment: Thanks so much for the beautiful postcard!

Comment: Thanks so much April, I love everything and theres so much!!! Well worth the wait. : )

Comment: I recently got your postcard! I love the leaf, flower and tendril, cutest thing ever. (i have some fixer spray, so I will seal)

Comment: Thank you so much for my matchbox! The little alligator and burger was so cute. I have no idea why, swap-bot is being weird and not letting me leave hearts tonight. Sorry!

Comment: Hi there.. =) i got the shrine yesterday..and its very pretty, but unfortunately it was completely smashed.. =( and that made me sad, considering how pretty it is....

Comment: Nicely wrapped. Thanks for the book bag.

Comment: thank you

Comment: Love the robot! thank you

Comment: Thank you!!

Comment: hi April, i received today. thankyou for the lovely papers and the little bag of extras. no biggie about the postage mix up. the postal service seems to enjoy jerking people around no matter what country. eep! lol anna ^_^

Comment: Oh the cup and saucer are so pretty. And the tea is some of my favorite. You are correct, I don't mind things that don't match. Pretty is enough, matching isn't important. Thanks for everything. And now the bad news, the cup didn't make it in one piece :( But don't worry, I have been wanting to make some broken china jewelry and this will be the perfect thing to start on!!!I guess that would be making lemonade!

Comment: Just to let you know I found the sweet bird notecard :-) I didn't leave it in Boston after all. It was in my notecard stash and I just pulled it out while catching up on correspondence. Not sure who it will go to, but it is on its merry way to someone with a note about something. Thank you!

Comment: Thanks April, I'm so glad I got it, there are heaps that I would love to read and would have never known about them if you hadn't sent me your list.

Comment: Thank you for the lovely postcard =)
