Sorry for the rant but this has upset me a little.

There are no rules to this. I dont mean to be rude but some of you are starting to sound like a bunch of whiny spoiled brats. Complaining that you didn't get anything for Valentines day is a little ridiculous if you ask me. You're sounding really selfish and the point of this swap isn't about what you RECEIVE...but about what you GIVE... It's just a perk that you happen to receive things! It's all about showing someone else that they are thought about and that you are thinking of them. Some people have financial troubles. Others have family issues they are dealing with. You never know what your angel is dealing with so cut her some slack. It's only February! Again..nothing is mandatory! It was just a suggestion that those would be the times you send things. Thats just my two cents... My angel has been great and I hope that I am doing a good job also as an angel. Just wanted to clarify some things for you Sugarpumpkin. :cry: But on the other hand I don't want to insult my Angelee by sending her something on a holiday that she doesn't celebrate. I am just going to do what i have been doing and hope for the best. I do feel bad for the people who haven't received anything from there Angel. Maybe all that haven't received can be rematched. Just a thought. |
Just a thought, maybe the ones who haven't received
anything have angels that are not in the USA. Mail from another country could take quite a while to get here. |

I thought that this was a photo thread..
let's keep it that way |
I truly believe in Angels. THAT is why I joined this swap. My Angel (My Grandmother) sits on my shoulder daily. She whispers encourgements when I need them. She is just there. I will be that angel for my granddaughters when I am gone.
I feel that my angel does that for me on this forum. She sends me things when I least expect them. I sing her songs in my head all day long. She is with me all day every day. When I am not thinking about her I wonder what my Angelee is doing with her boys. Long enough prattling on. I just love this group. |
Most of us have fabric and sewing stuff, we are not just looking for gifts.
What we are mostly trying to say is we want to be thought of and remembered. A card is not that much. International $1 give or take 50 cents. In the US a lot less Those hearing from their Angel every few weeks congrats.. This is the story of have, and have nots. They will never quite understand each other. :oops: or call it hearing and not hearing |
Ok Ladies settle down. Let's clear things up a bit.
1. NOTHING IS MANDATORY!!!! EVER!!!! 2. I asked for dates and such to give your Angel ideas. 3. Right now I am very busy with a job hunt that is on the horizon. (the big one too) 4. I have your requests and I will get them dealt with this weekend after my interview. 5. I will be reviewing who has gotten, who has not gotten and why. I suspect I will be pulling people out if they have no reason for not sending or do not answer my requests for explanation in a timely manner. 6. This is a "free form" exchange and will never be fair. It is sorta like playing the lottery. Everyone has different circumstances and will do what they can I am sure. If not They will be removed. I hope this solves some things. Please calm down and try to take the exchange in the spirit in which it was intended. For FUN!!! Thanks Karen White |
