My Heart Goes OuT

Unfortunately one of my swappers NEVER received her Valentines Day Initial Heart Swap package from her partner. I chased the package during March & April and finally after NOT receiving any more excuses / answers to my emails... I decided to forward an "Angel" gift to Donna.
Donna loves purple/mauve/lavender/lilac so I sent over a few small items in her fav colour to make it up to her.
Donna has now received her "PuRpLe" package.

I always know when I enter a swap that I'm taking a risk of not receiving anything. I commend you on sending an Angel gift. I only entered two swaps in 2012, (not yours) and I was stiffed on both of them. I'm sure you made Donna's day.

Noela said...

Sad when this happens but it was lovely you saved the day and sent Donna some lovely gifts. Hugs....

I'm sure Donna will really appreciate your efforts.

Claire said...

what a shame that someone would let another person down and wait for another to bail them out. Donna is lucky you are so generous Cheryll, you should name and shame the bad swapper.

Cheryl said...

That was lovely of you Cheryll - lovely gifts. It is disappointing when people sign up and have no intention of participating

Lynda said...

You are a tremendous angel. Purple is such a rich and happy color.

Googy Girl said...

It is just awful when someone doesn't't do there part of a swap. Your a lovely purple angel

Why join in a swap if you have no intention of sending to your partner, I just don't get it!
I'm sure Donna loved receiving her lovely heart and purple gifts even more as they were sent with love. Thanks for being such a great swap mumma/angel :) Barb.

donna said...

Cheryll you are the sweetest angel and swap momma ever. I love to enter your swaps. I am retiring from work to make a go of my shop so now maybe I can enter a few more. Thank you so very much for all that you do my dear.
Love ya
donna

A gorgeous angel pack and its very disappointing when others don't follow through. The key is to not over commit yourself and if you really cant afford the time or the money don't join up.
