*** Swaps ***

 

I'm open for swaps, but only with people I have a good feeling with. I prefer learning to know my partners here on Flickr through comments & pics before swapping. I like making "swap friends" and make several swaps with them, to know them better ♥

BrittanyJJackson flaked on the Easter/Spring 2011 Amigurumi swap

 

www.flickr.com/groups/amigurumi/discuss/72157626347499472/

 

We haven't got any news from her for 2 months. The 2 others girls of this swap & myself send her private messages to ask her for news but she never answered.

 

She hasn't post any pics of what her swap-partner send to her, don't even told if she received it or thanked for it.

 

The girl she has to send to hasn't received anything from her at this time (8 weeks after the deadline for sending).

 

Nevertheless, she uploaded private pics on her Flickr gallery 1 month ago and added comments on them.

 

If someone have a problem in a swap, it's always possible to sort it out. But we can't solve anything by avoiding the issue with total silence. Telling about the problem would reduce the disappointment & people wouldn't wait for something that will never arrive. Telling about what is going on: it would only be polite
