TOOMANYUFO'S

I can understand how things can hurt. I try to do my best to communicate and send things on time. I was doing the monthly block swap and the first month I signed up(July) my mother had surgery and died a wk later. I pm'd my partner and informed her that I could not make the block at that time, but it would be late. She was very understanding, even told me never mind.I also let the moderator know and in Aug made her a very nice block, I took extra time and made it special and thanked her for understanding several times. She however never let me know she received the block or even said she liked it. In Aug I made another partner a block and sent it on time, she promised to send mine late, but never did and she too never let me know when she received the block, not even a thank you. I was still upset over the loss of my mother and decided to not do any more of those swaps.

Krystyna the majority of us love you. Just stay and have fun with us! There are no excuses for people not communicating, most everyone is very understanding. People that do not send there pkg have to live with that on their conscience. I guess we must forgive those who do wrong and go on. I Plan on you being in the Nov. swap. Oh, I will take a turkey pincushion that has a beautiful big bright tail. I don't want one that looks like Thanksgiving dinner. Just kidding! We won't make you do all those turkeys.

ToomanyUFO's,
You did everything right. There will always be people who do not do everything they promised. It is a fact of life. I like to follow through like you. Everyone appreciates an aknowledgement and a thank you. I know you are still grieving for your mother now. I am sorry for your loss. Faye

I was raised to acknowledge a gift and to write thank you cards. If my mama ever found out I didn't thank someone for a gift or their time I would be in for it...lol

What makes things bad is seeing the person post on other threads and not letting you know it was recieved.A simple thanks would be enough to let the person know you recieved it.And if you didn't like it to bad.Keep that to yourself and say thank you anyway.It's just the polite thing to do.Like Robyn said my mama would get me too,and she passed over 30 yrs ago.Play this swap the way you want to be treated back.Bye for now Mary

There is no excuse for not sending and not thanking upon receiving... I'm another one who would get a whooping if I did not show my appreciation even if I did not need/like what I received. Someone mentioned that they would have to live with their consciences - if they post on another board and disregard their responsibilities here, then I doubt they have consciences, unfortunately. Still, what goes around, comes around and someday they will get the same treatment in return.

Krystyna, you are a lovely person and a giving person. Focus on your secret pal from OH who does this because she/he WANTS to and not just because they signed up to send a package to someone. Your SP apparently doesn't know you..
And your Avatar is a lovely tribute to your mom and sister - I enjoyed the story of how you finished it. It's really intricate and I wish I could paint. Your talents are awesome. Show us some veils, OK?

That said, I want to know where you find all those funny photos you post. I absolutely loved the one of the old lady with the dazed look (you know the one - when you offered turkey pincushions to all of the swap members).
