Cute Socks and a Card (International)

Hi! In Europe I have 38 as shoe/sockssize. You have different sizes in USA, right?

Hi there! I'm an Australian ladies size 11 - (European ladies size 42/43). (basically I will be the largest ladies size socks you can find! he he) just call me BigFoot :P

i wear a 7 or an 8 (us size) so normal women's size socks are fine for me. i love wearing novelty socks so feel get me socks with animals, holidays or whatever on it. i just ask no toe socks (the ones that look like gloves for your feet) or those little half socks where they come to the top of your shoes (to put it bluntly i have a scar there and when they come up to that point it always rubs against the area and hurts). but otherwise, i am game for any color, pattern, whatnot....

I wear a uk size 6 euro size 39..think imay be an 8and half usa, but I am usually ok with the one size socks, just not into socks that contain a large amount of black on them, thanks! do love spotty and stripey and most things really. :-)

I wear a size 9 in US sizes, I can wear a normal women's sized socks. I'm not very choosy but I really don't like toe socks at all.

another big foot here, european size 42.

for me as well, no toe socks please. i love socks that go until the knees but really, anything will make me happy :)

since i'm new, is a free card okay for the card thing or does it need to be a postcard/self made card?

Haha I guess us Europeans just have big feet. My size is 41 in European and I think that's a 10 for US. And yeah, I'm not big on toe socks either... or socks with "childish" motives :)

Note for Citrus.

A free card is okay when it is a nice one ;). It's just to write a little note for your partner on.

I have been in some swaps where the partner only sends the stuff. And i realy like little notes so i thought a card will do.

Greetings, Dieuwertje

I wear size 37 or 38 (European size). Large childrensocks also fit on my feets.

I love all kind of sock Also childrens socks. I wear miffy, Pucca, jip en janneke and that kind of kids stuff. ;)

I wear size 7 (US size). Yeah, Ive got small feet!! I prefer no pink or black socks -- and LOVE stripes and polka dots -- frogs, giraffe or turtles, would be extra special --and no toe socks. Also no little cutesy things that hang off the sock at the ankle -- and none that are really warm/thick (I live in Florida) I'm really NOT that picky.

I wear size 1 in US sizes. I mostly like socks that just have some kind of pattern or design on them, nothing with holidays, animals, cartoons, etc. I don't even mind socks with "duller" colors like brown, if they have stripes or something.

that should have been size 10 not 1 !!!

Hi, I wear size 9 US. I'm a fan of "fun socks." My students at school are always checking to see what are on my socks. Also, I like to buy socks as souveniers when I travel.

i loooove socks! i have kinda small feet (size 5) and like longer socks with funky designs :)

I wear a size 8 US. I to am a big fan of "fun socks".

I don't like one's with toes since my toes seem to match the rest of my body (chunky, lol)....

I love warm socks too~I'm always wearing them at our summer cabin and all the kids friends want to know "what's on your feet?"......

I'm so excited about this swap! I have normal-sized women's feet, about US size 8, and I prefer no holiday socks (I want to be able to wear them year round!). Other than that, have fun!

Hi..I wear a size 8 (US) 38 (European) and my only request is no toe socks. I love stripes, polka dots and soft, feel good socks. I wear socks with my Birkenstocks in the winter so cute socks are a must.

This will be fun...I love shopping for socks!

Hey USA girls, where do you find BIG socks? I have only ever seen the average 9-11 size socks. I would hate to sign up for this and then not be able to accomodate my SWAP pal.

I LOVE socks! I wear a US women's size 7 shoe. I prefer funky, fun socks-not particular about color, design, etc.

FunToScrap: I have started seeing women's socks marked 'large' that are beyond the usual size 9-11 but not a lot of them. The last time was at the local WalMart.

im a size 6 uk and my colours are blue , green , orange , lilac ny of them colours would be appreicated thanks

I wear a size 6 shoe and I like the colors blue and yellow. I also collect cows or ducks.
Hope all have a great day.

I'm a US size 8 or 9. I'd prefer ankle socks, instead of kneehigh socks. But anything's fine with me (:

My sock size is 7-9, shoe size is 7 and I am in the USA. I love fun socks! I do have an allergy to pure wool, though.

love socks...anything warm and cozy... wool, cotton... nice quality!!!! i wear a size 6 ...i love any color!!! i love funky or plain...it's up to you!!!

Oh, more "sock-o-holics" like me. I'm in.

My size is 37/38 european size, don't kow what the size is in us though.

Wow this sounds like a lot of fun. I wear a size 9 in shoes. I teach Pre-K so interesting socks are a MUST! Laff. I don't think I'd like the "toe" socks, but I've never tried them before either. They just don't look particulary comfy to me. Looking forward to this swap!

Hello,

I wear an Australian size 10 sock, so thats about a US 42/43. I love fluffy bed socks. Bright plain colours are great.

Good question FunToScrap...I'm not sure. I will keep checking back here tho' in case someone else knows.

Hi! My name is Grace. You can pretty much find the stuff I like on my profile.

My shoe size is 9 1/2 USA. I don't know what size that is else were. Sorry. But I love bright and fluffy stuff!!!

Oh, I'm a newbie too. Is that okay? I hope so because I really want to stay here!!! :D

Hi...

I wear a size 9-10 (american) 40 (europe)...

I love kneehigh socks or ankle socks. No color preference or design. Surprise me.

Just please please no toe socks. My toes are to short and don\'t fit them.

Here is a great link to an international shoe size chart. http://www.i18nguy.com/l10n/shoes.html#adult

Hello. I am new to this... It sounds like fun.. I wear a size 8 1/2 and I like pretty much everything...

Hey, that\'s what we say in the south when we meet some one. We also wave at everybody we pass on the road whether we know them or not. I wear a ladies 9-ll american. I have never done this before but I already know what socks I am going to buy. I am going to buy three more pairs. They are so cute.

Hi! My name is Brandi and I wear USA size 11 shoes. I\'m a teacher and fun socks are always cool to wear to school!

I wear size 8 US sock and European 38. Thanks! Sounds like fun!

I wear a US 9, so regular \"adult sized\" socks work for me. I will be happy with anything as long as it\'s cute, and not itchy. :)

Heck just reading through this page...we should qualify as an international sock survey!!! :-)

I wear a 6 1/2-7 size US shoe. I like striped socks-bright colors. I also like cat themes and sheep themes on my socks. No toe socks either, please. I\'m not really into holiday socks that much unless there are snowmen on them. Butterflies and owls are good too. Thanks!

i wear a size 37/38 european which is a US 7 and a UK 4 1/2. please no cats, animal prints or holiday socks.

I wear a size 8 and a half- 9 SHOE (US). I like warm socks- knee socks if possible as my part of the USA is cold in the winter. I wear back, navy blue, or brown socks to work, but love bright fun socks to wear on the weekends or with jeans. Any colors are ok- no cats or dogs. But wild animals are ok. Flowers are even better. Or stripes. Anything will be fine.

Hi, another big foot here. Aussie size 10 shoes / eur about 42. Please not toe socks or knee highs. Something bright would be nice..I like surprises..

A small foot here, 35 in Eur size or largest kids size or smallest womens size elsewhere. Prefer no toe sock.

My name is Denise & I wear shoe sz 10-11 (US). Prefer no toe socks but anything else is fine. Can\'t wait!

Hi! I am a UK size 7 shoe, I like stripey socks or graphic patterns in bright colours. I am not keen on animal socks since when I was in preschool a horrible girl kicked my shins all day as she wanted my knee high white socks with the badger on the side : ( Bad memories! I like socks, the longer and more comfy the better (guess I havnt grown out of loving long socks!). Cant wait to find out what my partner likes!!!

I have a size 10 USA size, so I have big feet. I like ALL socks, but Toe socks are the BEST :-)

Count me in! Thank you Kimmie for the web site with the shoe conversion table. It really helps to know the different sizes.
I wear a size 8 1/2 U. S. and love light weight socks (I live in south Texas and it stays hot here most of the year)and perfer not to have individual toes. Any color, style, design I love them all. Really enjoy cats, dogs, rabbits, and flowers.

Ooohhh... this one will be cool!

I wear a ladie\'s 11 in US sizes... so get the largest socks you can find! Also, none of the \"toe\" socks as they are much too uncomfortable.

Thanks!

i like bright colours and a size 5-6 uk

i love orange and brown and green. i'm a us size 10, european size 42.

I am a us size 9-1/2 - 10.

hiya. i\'m a uk size 5.European size 38 usualy the smallest size of socks will fit me :) I like anything pink, or with stars or love hearts, or other cute things like cupcakes, rainbows.etc etc

Hi- I\'m also US size 8 (Eu 38? 39?). Anything but a white background! I\'m just funny that way...

I love sock swaps (well my wife does)anyway she is a US 9/10 and the rest is up to the partners. We will do the same when picking my partners socks.

Gary

Hi,This sounds fun! I\'m size 8 1/2:)

I am a US shoe size 8 and the sock size is usually always 9-11 I think and that fits me. The regular size. I have averagely-sized feet. And I don't like monkeys, so if my socks could please not have monkeys on them, then I'll be happy!

I wear a U.S. sock size 9-11. Ilove any kind of cute socks but especially any with cats on them.

I have a European size 40/41(wow we really have big feet,what do we eat??LOL)and i love all kinds of CUTE socks.Like cupcakes,fruit prints,rainbows...i guess everything that is cute that will do :D

I wear US size 8 /Euro 39. I\'m not fond of anything with franchised cartoon characters, but other than that am just looking forward to being surprised with something fun!

I wear US size 6.5 (Euro 38.5). I enjoy anything with hearts on them or anything with the color theme red, black & white. Also: I prefer wearing knee high toe socks around the house instead of slippers, especially as the hardwood floors make winter feel colder.

Oh, and if you're looking for a size conversion chart: http://www.i18nguy.com/l10n/shoes.html

Hi, I wear European size 38 (US 7.5, UK 5). Please not knee highs, and not too warm socks!

Hello, I wear size 9-11 Canadian size....no toe socks or knee socks please, i prefer ankle socks...

I am from Brazil. I wear 37 here. I am not sure but I think it must be 6 or seven in US Measures.

Hi everyone - this is my first swap & this really sounds like fun !! I wear a (US)size 9 - anything is fine !! Have fun everyone !! =D

I wear a size 8 USA. I am not particular I like all kinds of funky socks - the challenge is always to find what to wear with them or as my dd has taught me socks do not have to match! LOL ~~~Karyn

Hi:D I wear size 9 USA. I love just about any kind of sock!Love toe socks; funky, and bright colors; different themes(doesn't really matter)! I'm not picky! Just find some you think you would never wear and send them my way!!!lol!!! Take care, Brittany:)

This sounds like so much fun. I wear a size 9/10 US or a 41/42 Euro. No particular preferences - I'm easy to please!

Hi I wear a size 7 1/2 shoe. I just joined swap-bot and can't wait to start swapping. I love any kind of socks love bright colors and animals. I am not a picky person so go to town and have fun with it I know I will. thanks Jen

This sounds like fun, I'm game for any kind of socks, although warm fuzzy ones are my favorite. I wear size 7 shoes (US), so the average size socks will fit.

Woo! I love socks. We are a 'no shoes in the house' household, so fun socks are a way of life. (wink) I also attend a non-denominational pagan oriented church that is 'no shoes indoors' and we love to compare funny socks there too. (grins) I have an average 'size 9-10' guys (US) sized foot, so pretty much any adult size works. My favourite socks currently are a pair with horses on them and a pair that look like someone scalped a muppet to make them. (muhahaha... they're brightly coloured and FUZZY!) I prefer fluffy/thick or some kind of theme or pattern, and please please, not TOO girly- cause I WILL wear 'em, and my friends will giggle. (wink)

I wear regular size women's socks. I love socks of any kind, except toe socks...while i have regular feet i have fat toes g. I like cute socks to crazy socks and anything lately with skulls on them have found there way to my house smiles. I have no preferance in color or style. Thank you in advance to my partners!!

I wear a ladies size 8 1/2 shoe so socks 9-11 1/2 are fine. I love purple and red, as I am a red hatter for fun. No toe socks please. Is there a sock hop on the horizon??

I have small feet. Size 6 US. I can wear large kids socks or small adult socks. I'd rather not have toe socks or holiday socks unless its halloween, but anything else is good. :)

Hi I am a size 7 hope this helps :) I love the colors teal & pink ;D

I wear a size 8 1/2 shoe. I like socks with animals on them. I don't like white ones. I like pastel colors or fibrant colors but with a design. Animals, Ladybugs, Dragonfly,cat, dogs etc.

I am a size 9 1/2 in Us Sizes. I love the color orange, and I like black. Thnak you!!!

I adore socks!! Of all the items we all wear, socks are my favorite. I am a size 8 - just basic and average. I love funky socks - my favorite colors are pink, light blue, and most pastels, but having said that, I love bold, bright colors for socks too. I love socks that have on them: Cats, penguins, cute sayings, stripes, plaid, coffee themes, flowers or floral themes, girlie themes, dragonflies - I really can't think of anything I wouldn't love in socks. Just nothing crude or that your grandma could look at. :) I am an argyle lover and I can NEVER have too many argyle socks! In any color!! This is so much fun! I am looking forward to seeing the potos of all the socks people get!

I love socks too! I wear size 8 or 8.5 in USA. Just normal, average size. I like colored socks or socks with cute patterns like stars, rainbows, penquins, frogs, sanrio characters such as hello kitty and keroppi, etc. I don't like hearts though or toe socks. I like my socks a little longer than just ankle length. I'm looking forward to shop for my partner :)

I hate to wear shoes and socks but-- I am diabetic and must wear them all the time. Please pick out something cutsie so its easier to comply with doctors orders. I like all kinds of things except the toe socks and kneehighs. Thanks

I have a daughter who wears size12 shoes US size. Yes Wal-mart has several larger sizes. Usually they are not the cutsy ones though. They have them in both singles and packs of several. Also the larger size womens clothing stores have them. Not much of a selection but they are available. Lane Bryant catalogues also have larger sizes. Just be sure they dont just say larger tops for larger legs. that makes them the same foot size just with looser tops. Hope this helps.

I am a size 10 US shoe. I love socks!

I wear size seven and a half in my shoe size.

Hello

I wear a UK 6 which I think is about a US 8.5 or 39 ladies. I really like super cute patters on socks especially bold bright colours.

But contact me if you would like to know anything else - thanks :)

I wear a us/canada size 6.5 and as long as it doesn't have something that hangs off the back of my heels, I'm pretty flexible.

I wear Medium sized socks, like most here I guess. 8.5 US shoe size, 39 EU.

I have found a sock-size table with America and european sizes.

U.S. Shoe Size European Shoe Size Infants/Toddlers 3 - 5 18/20 6 1/2 - 7 22/23 8 - 8 1/2 24/25 Children 9 - 10 26/27 10 1/2 - 11 1/2 28/29 12 - 12 1/2 30/31 Children/Adult Women 13 - 1 32/33 2 - 3 34/35 4 - 5 36/37 6 - 7 38/39 8 - 9 40/41 10 - 11 42/43 Adult Men 8 - 9 42/43 10 - 11 44/45 14

Oeps,

Thats not very handy. I thought the lines will also be in the tekst box.

Example: I have european size 37/38 So on my foots fit American size 5 and 6.

I hope you have some help with this table.

Greetings, Dieuwertje

Hi...

I wear a size 9/10 american size. I love all kinds of socks esp. knee socks. But please please no toe socks. My toes are to short for them.

Thanks...

Good Morning!!

My size is a 9/10 and I like all socks except toe socks. My toes are too long for them.

Thanks>>>>>>>>>>>>>

hello, i wear a european size 39 which is uk size 8, i think...and i don´t like too much brown, but am not fussy with anything else...i´m looking so much forward to this as it´s my first swap ever

Hi I wear a size 6 1/2 shoe but I think sock sizes [US] run like 9-11 for that size....I love the color burgundy and pink...but any color is fine with me...I am a reader, crochet, love the beach, Red Hats, and anything that you find is ok with me....:)

I wear the standard size woman's socks (9-11) because I wear about an 8 US shoe size. I don't like toe socks because I have short toes. Toe socks are socks that fit kind of like gloves on your feet because each toe goes in its own little sock, but I have short toes, so they don't fit me right. I love regular socks that have hippie or psychadelic patterns, cats, hello kitty, frogs, lady bugs, daisies, and many other things. I like colorful things, so anything you find for me should be great!

Diane Clancy in California....anything fun is good....I really love cats...I wear size 10 USA

Hi, I wear 6 1/2 womens (USA) but for some reason size 9-11 socks fit me just fine. I don't have any dislikes except those anklet things with bobbles coming off the heel. Standard cuff style socks, and anything longer than that, are most welcome.

cheers all,

Becca

Hi hi! I wear a US women's 8, and I like pretty much anything weird, with skulls, cats, whatever. I'm not too keen on toe socks though. Thanks!!!

Hi! I wear a 7 1/2 or 8 shoe in US sizes~not sure what that translates to overseas,sorry.You can send all the toe socks my way~although it should start to warm up here before too long,so any are fine. I'm not crazy about polka dots or stripes& fav colors include purple,green,blue~oh,really almost any!(don't wear much lime green or orange though) Can't wait to choose socks for somebody~

Hello potential swap partner. My shoe size has been increasing as of late. Never really heard much about your feet getting bigger when you're expecting. Anyway, I was a size 7 1/2, but currently I'm wearing a size 8 shoe. Any fuzzy, chenille footies/socks are welcomed. I like all kinds of patterns, but particularly strips, polka dots, animals such as cats and monkeys.

Half of the people in this swap haven't mailed socks yet~is that usual?This is my first swap&I'm a little surprised. Terri

Wonder2...the deadline to send isn't until the 19th. Some folks do wait until the last minute. I'm fairly new too (this is my sixth swap) and so far I've received all of my swaps. If you still haven't received your swap when it's time to rate your partner, send them an email note and ask them before giving them bad feedback. Sometimes the mail is just slow. Have fun!

Wow...received socks from both of my partners today! On our first warm summer-like day it was only appropriate that I received such cute spring themed socks. Love 'em! Thank you Amy and Eva!

Cathy Jewell & Aloha, I will be mailing your socks out on Monday. Please let me know when they arrive :)

BEntley!!! LOVED the sock package and the card was WONDERFUL. Super sugar pops, indeed!

THANK YOU to Tod & Byronicwoman for the cute socks!! :D

Marylen and Kelly did you get your socks from me ...you should have I mailed them on the 4th March! ;-)

Amy, I got the socks and I love them, they are so springy! 2 pairs WOW! Thanks so much!!

Hi Diane and Jessie- due to a major snowstorm in New England I did not get your sox mailed til this morning (3/19)- I hope they come quickly Barb

Barbara, I love the ice skating monkey socks, how funny! They are perfect, because I take the kids for ice skating lessons, and love to ice skate myself, can't wait to show all the kids at the rink! I love the Irish Blessing on the card, too, Thank you so much!

Windchimes, you made my day! I made a deal with my two daughters that they could have the two pairs of socks I would receieve from this swap, and you sent an extra pair, so now I even get a pair! Yippee!! Thank you so much for all the wonderful extra goodies in the envelope, you went above and beyond the call of swap-duty! I tried to upload pictures to the gallery, I hope it worked!

I got my socks from karyn today, so cute!! Thanks so much, I'll have to hide them from my daughter, lol. Denise (Niecy)

I got a lovely pair of socks today from mamau 10, and a special surprise. thankyou so much, great package.

I wanted to let my partner know I mailed her goodies out today. SOrry for the lateness hope you enjoy.

ALSO I receive the cutest pair of socks that totally match my pastel Crocs I have. THank you so much

ALoha

Its after the deadline and there are still a lot of not sends. please dont wait too long. Your partners will be disappointed and your ratings wont be good!

Sweetie and Susanna - your socks are on the way. I hope you like them!

Sara

I got my socks from my partner Michele today! Love 'em!!

thanks jane! argyle!!! :)

YAY!Socks from Grace were in my mailbox today!And I love them~butterflies&flowers everywhere..... Terri

kc-froglady, just wanted to say they havent come yet. snail mail is such a pain sometimes.

Cannot believe there are still at least ten no sends days after the closing date...lately in virtually every swop I have been in I have had to wait until i get my partners name and then contact them to ask them to send the swop...thinking that it is becoming a little too much of a hassle :-(

Hi Theresa- You wonderful little package arrived safely and I loved everything in it. I was thrilled with the "Totoro" paper- it is so awesome! Thank you so much and it is great that it is also one of your favorite movies too. Of course the sox and anklet are great too. But the Totoro item is very special. Thank you. Barb

Thanks to sweeti8286! I got my socks today. Thank you so much! I love the blue color-reminds me of spring.

Isn't it sad that we take time to pick just the right item to send to our partner, and they cannot even take a moment to drop a quick "thanks". Even if they are disappointed with the item they received, they could let us know it arrived !!

I agree mamaw i have left message for my partners i sent them out on the first day we got their names, but they haven't contacted me...neither have i received anything..this is not turning out to be such a good thing for me...the last few I have been in I have spent a lot of time on, but not done good in the receiving stakes...ah well. HAVE a good weekend y'all.

I agree with the last two posts. Every day I check my swaps if there are messages if the swaps have arrived, but only a couple have posted. None of my sock partners have posted.:C They should have arrived by now. Ive 32 years by international letter/gift exchange experience and letters/gifts usually travel fast. Two days to and from Chicago-Northern part of Norway is quite common for airmail. I exchange things frequently with a friend there. Of course it can be delayed, esp around Christmas time. Anyway, this is my experience and Ive done this for a looong time.

Hi Jan of Austrailia. I just got your package today. And I love the socks and the beautiful card ...Favorite colors of the wrapping. Thank you so much...:)

I received my socks and card from Grace (gldinde) the other day, they are so cute, I love them and the card is great too. Thank you!

res_a, I was almost tempted to buy another pair of the socks I sent you for myself, I liked them that much. :-)

Hi, to JaneAusten...and thankyou thankyou. The socks arrived a few minutes ago. Absolutely lovely.

Still waiting for my socks ):

I received a pair of socks from one of my partners and I'm sad to say that I've thrown the envelope with the recycling and now I can't tell which one of you sent it? If your my partner could you please tell me what you sent so that I can rate you! I want you to get credit for it. :.)

Still waiting for my second pair of socks.

I just found out Aloha Quigley-Perry is one of those notorious no sends and scammers. So I will not get anything from her:( So watch out for her!

Not received a bean..let alone a pair of socks, this is the worst swop I have been in for no send, I just don't get people...they need socks that bad to dupe folk, good luck to them! sorry needed to get that off my chest not feeling very kindly or forgiving toward no senders at the moment!

I received one of my 2 pairs from Neika (anatawaneikasa) :) Thank you so much!

I'm with you Alex!! It's so frustrating - I just had a look at who my partners were coz we are able to rate them now and not one, but BOTH of my partners still say NOT SENT :(

craftbrown1 - I'm glad you got your socks:) Dieuwertje - Yours should get there by Friday(30th) the latest! I sent them the 16th and it was for 4 to 10 business days. I did get insurance so I could track them so gonna swing over there and check in just a few:) Hope you will like them:)

Well I still haven't got either of mine, but I hope to get a least one pair... like I posted earlier I'm doubting on the other, but maybe I will be pleasantly surprised. Who knows we will just have to wait and see:) Hope everyone has a great day:D

this should be renamed as the learn patience and fogiveness swap...for some of us at least anyway..contacted one of my partners who has sent at last, and the other has a not sent and i contacted and hasnt even had the decency to respond, in fact I think she did that in the last swop she was in, easter choc swop and I believe you were the non receiving partner monstermansmum! so not much hope, will have to watch out for her in the future!

this is also the worst swap I have been in too Alex.. grrrr it makes me so mad when people dont even have the decency to respond to an email.

Alex- If you are talking about bonnie yes that was me that she flaked on! It's sad some people do this kind of stuff. They must be desperate(yea right)! Karma will get them.

I just checked my partners and one of this is no longer a member. Looks like I won't be getting socks from them. Bummer.

I received a great package from Sharlene, from Australia. Thank you for the cute socks and note.

TO RAVEN, I'M SO UPSET WITH YOU, YOU HAVE A 4.2 RATING AND HAVE NOT SENT OUT THE SOCKS OR EMAILED ME. This is the 6th swap that someone has not sent me something. If you sign up you need to send out or email to the person to let them know that something has came up. I'm very understanding and very upset.If you can't send for a personal reason them please tell the person. But don't just leave them hanging.

Thanks to all the great Ladies that do go by the rules, It's really nice to receive notes from you and get things and send things to other places. I'm sorry that I'm going on and on. But Raven really needs to understand!!!!!!! Cathy Jewell

Hi Girls,

I'm so sorry to see that the swap didnot the way i hope it was going. I'm verry upset with the NOT SENT's. I send them a email that i and there swappartners are verry upset and disapointed. I hope they will send me a email back.

I thought i made a good selection befor starting the swap. I'm verry sorry to see that it was not good.

Greetings, Dieuwertje

Monstermansmum05 i recieved your cute 2 pairs of socks today. I think that they are realy cute. Thank you so much.

Greetings, Dieuwertje

Hi Dieuwertje, I'm sorry, I didn't want to make such a big deal. I'm very understanding I just would like the Ladies to inform me of what is going on. I'm sorry if I said something to upset anyone. I just wish that the Ladies that sign up would follow up. Thanks for understanding. Cathy Jewell

Everyone feels the same Cathy, and Dieuwertje you are not responsible for people not sending...you know it's not like it's a hard swop to mail a pair of socks! What is the problem with folk..I still have not received anything, guess that's it with this one for me! Hvae a good weekend.

Hi Girls,

My English is not that good and i thought that upset whas the best word to use. I'm disapointed that so many people did not get socks yest (I'm also waiting for one). I thought it was a nice swapidea.

After sending my email yesterday i get back 2 answers. One person did contact her swappies because she give birth early. The other no sender says she already send the items. I'm going to contact her swappies to ask if they get something. I hope they did.

So i like to ask you all please put a message here when you get something form you partner(s) so we can see you get something and your partners also can see you get their socks.

Greetings, Dieuwertje

to my partners i am sorry your socks are late i have been ill but they are on there way sorry again

My first experience with swaps I signed up for 3 - total of 5 partners - I received 2 packages - not good odds... Those of you that have been members for a while, would you let me know if this is the "norm" or if it's unusual. Thanks - Happy Spring everyone !!

Well Mamaw I have done around 20 swops and I guess my experience is not that great, virtually every time I have had to contact my partner way after swop closes when you get their name and ask them if they are sending, which most of thme have then done. Although I guess around out of 20 swops I have maybe not received 5 lots of things, which also is not too great, even the poetry journal one I am in at the moment, which closed 3 days ago, half the people , including the organiser have not sent yet, and well I know things happen in life you could at least post a comment or email your partner to let them know. It is beginning to put me off, I worked really hard on my journal and sent it off straight away, and may not get anything back again. what is going on with everyone?? :-(

I still am waiting for mine....

Still no socks for me! I hope my partners like theirs!!!

Happy Spring! Brandi

Thanks Alex - I just enjoy putting these packages together to send to my partners, so I guess I'll just keep doing it for the enjoyment of giving and try to not waste energy on being disappointed when I get a deadbeat for a partner.

Good philosophy Mamaw, I do try to do that and I really do enjoy putting parcels together for people, guess I;m just having a bad run at the moment....I'm sure goodness will prevail! HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Brittany Warren, I mailed them on March 7th. I'm sorry I'm not sure why you haven't received them yet. I'm very good about sending things out and early. I will mail out some more. I know that Aloha received hers and I mailed them the same time. I'm sorry Don't know where they are. I will email you and ask if I have the correct address. thanks for understanding. Cathy Jewell

Brittany, I looked and I posted a note on the 8th that I mailed them out. I will send more I sent socks that had flowers and a note pad as something extra. Cathy J

Thanks, Cathy J. I apperciate you resending, since I never recieved any. My other sender was Aloha and I never recieved anything from her, but she never wrote me back and is a no sender so that really sucks. So this swap was disppointing, so I really hope I recieve this package you send off. Brittany W. aka monstermansmum05

well i give up with mine now april 15th and still nothing!

Still waiting for mine too, I've got one pair anyways. But I don't believe the next will show up.

I've given up on waiting! I have not recieved either of mine and are starting to believe I won't get any! Guess I want to give most people the benefit of the doubt but it's looking pretty grime right now!

Susanna,

I'm sorry that your socks haven't shown up yet - I sent them at the same time that I sent to my other partner and she HAS received hers. Either the mail to Sweden (from Arizona, USA) is super-slow, or they got lost somewhere in transit. I'll send you out a new pair tomorrow. I'm going to send you a message requesting verification of address so we can make sure it doesn't happen again.

Sara Chattom

Just got socks from Cathy Jewel. So atleast I got one pair:)

Sorry, for not coming over and saying I got both my socks:) both great!

For you who still wait and to Sara:

Guess what?! I did recieve my socks today!! The package had a sign that it was sorted wrong and had been sent out to Brazil and then turned back, and later shipped to Sweden. :)

So I'm happy and the socks are perfect, fits perfectly!!

Well, I have received one pair and the other partner's account was deleted, so I guess I'm not getting those socks. It was a good idea for a swap, too bad so many participants didn't follow through!

Why not have swap angels? That way everyone will have our packets and it`ll be a positive experience, not a bad one like now.

arcticgirl64 : That's a great idea, I can angel a few :)

I can angel one or two myself. Im missing one of my pairs, so I know how frustrating that is. Its sent me twice, but nothing has arrived here. :( Else/arcticgirl64

I'd be happy to angel someone as well! I see that my second swap partner has nothing but 1s in her ratings, so I'm pretty sure I'll never see anything from her. It's the first time that's happened to me. Boo!

Ive contacted swap-coordinator about angels for this swap, but still waiting for the answer. Im off for a two weeks holiday next Friday, so I would love to send my angel swap by then if possible, if not Ive to wait till Im back from Japan.
