New Swap on HOLD -- More Angels Needed

Hi Apron Lovers!!

I know I promised you a new swap in June but I just can't .... I am feeling a bit discouraged and down right now because I still have swappers from my last several swaps that don't have packages, partners that said they mailed them or not answering emails/phone calls. SEVERAL of you have angeled already and I'm sorry to report there are more missing apron packages.

So, my super fun summer swap is on indefinite hold.


ANGELS --- IF you want to help me get out of this funk and tickle some fellow swappers, I could use several more angels for the past few flirty apron swaps. Just leave a comment and/or email me at shawneeh @ yahoo.com if you have a desire to sew and pull together a sweet package.

AND, if you really are feeling generous, some of my Mothers Day mommy/daughters swappers flaked ... ON CHILDREN!! That has me the most upset because the little ones just don't understand and go to the mailbox daily wondering where their aprons are ... I just don't have the time or money to make up for everyone so will not be hosting any more children's swaps for a long time. If anyone wants to help out and angel here (possibly may be asked to make more than one child's apron), just leave a comment.

If you are a swapper who didn't receive a package in the past, I am so very sorry. I thought all were taken care of because swappers told me packages were sent but have obviously never arrived and they're now not answering me. Please don't be put off from swapping again ... 90% of the swappers are WONDERFUL! It's the 10% that ruin it for everyone else.

Thanks for understanding gals. I know there are lots of other swaps on the 'net that you can find while waiting for me to straighten up.

    I am soooooooooo sorry this is going on. It must be the season for flakes because Aunt Pitty Pats posted all of her flakes out in the open so others will beware. Sad!

  9. HI! I am a newer member getting ready for my wedding in July. If you let me know what would be involved in getting together a package I can let you know if it would be doable for me or not. I would definitely like to be a part of the next swap for sure, so this might be good karma for me :)

  10. hi, Shawnee,
    I would be able to angel if you tell me specifically what's needed; adult or child--I am FINALLY able to sit at my machine (post surgery) and will have the Lucy/Shawnee finished this coming week.

    It's a real shame that sometimes people suck.
