I am the swap coordinator and have been reviewing everyone's profiles/ratings. Unfortunately, as warned in the swap description above, I have had to ban some of you because of "1" ratings in your profiles. If you wish to discuss this further, please email me.

Everyone else: Don't forget to state your colour preferences if you have not already done so!

Thx!

TerryF 12/18/2006 #

I have decided not to ban the "1" people yet because if I do, it cannot be reversed, and I don't want to exclude someone who may have had a string of perfect "5"s and then only one "1" rating. I understand that sometimes there may be a good reason for this, e.g., people who are impatient will give a "1" rating too soon, illness, etc. If you have a "1" rating (you know who you are) please contact me so we can discuss. If I do not hear from you by Thursday, December 28, I will have no choice but to ban you. Thx!

user1937 12/18/2006 #

Blues, aquas, and pastels.

lamazon 12/19/2006 #

moonlady 12/26/2006 #

I am a first time swap bot swapper but have been involved in swaps in other groups so no fears, I believe in follow though and quality : ). I have made many pins in the past and love to do it. This will be fun!

My favorite colors are shades of green and purple but I also love neutals, black white, browns.

lgj302 12/30/2006 #

My favorite colors are blues and purples. Other colors I like are greens, browns, and copper.

TerryF 12/30/2006 #

Unfortunately, I have had to ban some people because they did not provide their colour preferences in this section (or in their profiles, which I have checked and feel is also acceptable - don't forget to check there if you don't see your partner's colours above), or they have a "1" rating and did not contact me by Dec. 28 to discuss. I do not ban people on a whim and am sorry to have to do so, but I just want to make the swap as easy and enjoyable as possible for those people who do their best to meet the swap requirements. We still have a good group for this and I hope everyone enjoys making a pin or brooch for their partner! Tassy

bordercollielover 12/30/2006 #

Love dark burgandy, forest green. However, I would be happy with anything someone made for me. Thank you in advance!

E11enT 12/31/2006 #

Hi Chel: I will be mailing your pin tomorrow - please be patient as I imagine it will take a while to make its way to you! (A parcel can take 6 weeks just to go from here to the U.S.) Tassy

Suzan ( bombshell-o-matic ) Your package arrived safe and well today ! Thank you very much for the lovely brooches , the couple of earrings ,and the goodies you added . I'm a quilter and the next time I'm going to a quilting bee or retreat the brooche ( without earrings ) is going to be my unique pincushion . Every time when we take a break I loose my sewing needle :o)Well it isn't going to happen anymore : I 'll put it on my brooche !!!! I love your postcard : I'm a big fan from the native americans ( since my childhood ). I love the way they think and live ,their respect for nature .Didn't know oklahoma = land of the red people Miet

I emailed her, but wanted to let you know I received from K Anne (Karmah) a pretty pin! Laura

lgj302 01/31/2007 #

I'm waiting to hear whether Kathy G (littledragon) received her pins from me - I sent them a long time ago (the end of December).

user5201 01/31/2007 #

My pin arrived from Canada. It was a lovely paper collage pin from Sophie. Thanks Sophie!

drewzel 02/ 2/2007 #

Artizlife, did you get your pin from me?

user1937 02/ 2/2007 #

yes drewzel i did---thank you so much!!!

TerryF 02/18/2007 #

Guess what ladies? The only person who hasn\'t marked her swap as sent is my partner, MsMartiP! And she won\'t respond to emails from me or anyone else apparently either. This is kind of funny, being stiffed on my own swap - guess I\'ll just have to make myself a pin! lol

Please do let me know if you haven\'t received your swaps by the end of February. I might as well make all of the pins at once! Lol again! Tassy

drewzel 02/25/2007 #

Hi Tassy, I'm happy to make you a pin, email me at steph@woddy.net and let me know where to send it!

TerryF 02/25/2007 #

Thanks so much drewzel! I have emailed it to you.

TerryF 03/21/2007 #

Drewzel, thanks very much for the too cute pin! Wish I could give you a heart rating for it! T. (Pic posted)
