Comment: LAME. Your the host and I never received this swap from you! Crappy. No response to PM's and no item received. My other partner in this swap flaked too and I contacted you about that as well. Should you decide to resend, I will properly re-rate you, until then, do yourself a favor and don't host anymore swaps.

Comment: I hate to rate like this, but I have not received this swap and it is almost 2 months since the send by date. This was my first shrine swap and I was very excited especially when I saw you were my partner. I am extremely disappointed. I will gladly rerate when I receive the shrine.
Response: Wow... This is horrid.... i am so sorry. I have been off of Swap bot for over a year and did not realize i must have something pending. This is not acceptable by my standards.... I love loteria and will be more than happy to send you a shrine . Please PM me your address or post box and it will be on the way!!! Once again i am sorry and looking forward to a better start on swap bot.

Sorry, I'm a harsh person. There really is no need to resend after this long.

Alphenquilts on Sep 26, 2009:

Due to the fact that your rating is below the group rules, I will remove you from the Viva la Frida group. You are always welcome again if you have a rating of 4.9. Thanks.
