Swapalicious
Finally, an update on the two swaps I joined in last month. The first swap I joined this year was a handwritten letter/handmade item swap that you can see here. I'm pissed off about the receipient of my creation as she never, ever acknowledged even receiving my swap. I sent her a direct e-mail to make sure she received it. Nothing. I sent her an e-mail via swap-bot. Nothing. I posted a comment on her blog. Nothing. I even discovered that she deleted my comment on her blog! Well, that just tells me she only joined the swap to get free stuff especially since she never sent in her swap. I feel bad for her partner in having received nothing! That just pisses me off. She got good ratings in her previous swaps so I don't know what the deal is. Sheesh. Anyway, I'm glad to report that my partner, Margy sent me a nice Cat Mermaid she made and a nice long letter all the way from Belgium! Perfect for the nursery!
The 2nd swap I joined was called a Photo Scavenger Hunt. Each person lists 15 things she wants a picture of and their partner picks 10 to take and print out. I was a couple of days late in sending mine out to my partner Jennifer because of my hard drive issues. So I decided to get extra creative and put the photos in a stand up album that I got from here. Which of course I wanted to try forever and got the clear envelopes ages ago. The sample only used 3 envelopes and mine was 10 envelopes so I had to use some extra reinforcements with packing tape. I think it came out really cute!!
And I am also happy to report that my partner, Lisa, sent me all 15 images from my list all the way from Australia! She also sent me a zine of hers that she made.

ooooh those scavenger hunts looked SO COOL. really really cool. but man i so hate swap-bot. nothing against rachel and travis for settign something cool up. But i've done several swaps on there and i've only received a few back. I did one with photos. I only received one back. I never heard from my idiot partner in italy. I spent frickin 6$ to send that handmade book of photos and not even an email to say hey i got it. The same thing happened to me..no email, no answer to my 500 comments on her blog. nothing. so i gave up on swap bot. i only do swaps oraganized on blogs or partner to partner now. someone should oragnize one of those scavenger photo thingies.
ok tell skippy hi. pat the belly and say hi tot he little peanut for me.
