I think this is a great idea! Thanks Debs <3 UPDATE: Oct. 21st 2011 Partner: Pnay Kolada Swap: Newbie vs Vet Issue : I never recived from her, wouldn't resend. Solution: 1. I waited a realllly long time. I dont think its ever going to show up, So I asked her if she wanted to resend me something small, like a card and tea or a small plushie. She answered back but never confirmed she would resend. ABANDONED- I'm giving up on this one, I have to many other awesome partners to keep thinking back to this one Partner: Angel Eve Swap: Personal Issue: we were supposed to swap one large item, she requested a goth purse. Which I made, it took a lot of time and honestly a fair bit of money. You can see it in my projects. Anyway she was supposed...
