Broken hearts swap

I am hoping I get a rating before march 10 because I would really like to join this swap. I have sent out 8 swaps so far, so I will keep my fingers crossed.

I really love this idea. I don't know about everybody else, but sometimes the people closest to me don't always know about my sadness. This is something I really needed right now.

Hi, I know I don't have a 4.5 but one of the no sends I got was from a member who deleted her account, I have proof that it was sent if needed!

would you be willing to extend the date on this to say joining by March 20th (or later - maybe the 31st?) and the deadline being about four weeks later? My thinking is that many of us will have ratings by then and there will also be a payday for those on social security (the 3rd) so we could really do this swap justice. This is the sort of thing that should be taken seriously and done with care and genuine concern. I don't think addressing someone's broken heart is something you can do in a rush. I would love to participate and I am going to have a lot of ratings in a couple of weeks - I am also a young widow and I know all about broken hearts and would love to reach out to someone else. I believe if you could extend the dates you would reach a lot of people and there would be a lot of interest. this is a very special idea.

Hi there, I appreciate the comments. I had a quick turn-around for this swap so that people wouldn't have to wait too long to receive their package. I thought it would be nice to get something as soon as possible. How about a quick one right now and then another one a few weeks later to give more people a chance to participate?

I would love a chance to do this, also, but have signed up within the past week, week and a half. I've signed up for 3 swaps that are all coming to swapping within the next week. I agree with some of the "newbies" being able to do this, also. I personally would love to do this, also. I hope more feel this way, to give more people a chance.

velveteen rabbit: I can understand what you mean about the need to not waiting and doing two does make sense. I wouldn't be able to join the first one - too many coming to a close at the same time. I would prefer to wait and do the first one so the people here can participate - there is obviously interest and already I feel there are some special people looking at this swap. You know... if you were willing to wait a bit to start the first one, then you could do four a year - quarterly basis type of thing and it would be something people could grow to count on and be a part of.
I just know I can't do it this quickly. are you considering reconsidering? (Is that redundant?)

I wish I had more time.. I would totally do this if the timeline was a bit longer... sometimes it takes a while of thinking for me to figure out the perfect thing just for "you". maybe I can catch the next one...

I just registered for Swapbot three days ago and don't have any ratings yet, although there will be the first coming in one week or so. I would be thrilled to participate, but I see your point of view (not waiting, high ratings required). But another one in a few weeks, that sounds great! Please offer that swap again, then I'm hopefully in!

I'd love to join when I've caught up on all my other swaps. PLEASE run another round, it's a fabulous idea!

Okay, I'll add a week to this one, but I really feel strongly about sticking with people who already have a high rating. The last thing I want is for someone who's down to be disappointed in a swap, too. I'm sorry if this offends anyone. But we can certainly do it again...

Thanks for the feedback and understanding.

My package when out today via Priority Mail to my partner. I hope you enjoy it!

LN9813 Just wanted to let you know that your package is leaving Michigan today for you. Sorry about the lateness. I am finally all caught up with my swaps since the passing of our Grandfather on the 9th. I so hope you enjoy it. This swap was so fun to do. Shopping for things that will put a smile on someones face and brighten thier day was great. Enjoy

Thank you Ann-Margret of Montreal! Your package arrived today a little the worse for wear, but all inside was well and brought a smile to my face!

Hi motes, Yikes! Sorry to hear about the package's condition. I thought it was a pretty sturdy box. I'm glad the contents made you smile, though. :D Thanks for letting me know!

serienova ~ Just wondering if you received your package yet?

I got my wonderful package today from LN9813. Thanks so much! I'm off to leave you a glowing rating. :)
