FRIDAY CONFESSIONS

Re: FRIDAY CONFESSIONS

  • All I want to say is that I was stupid. I did not mean to make any of the people who took time to put together things to feel like I did not like or receive the things that were sent to me.Any reasons I have will just sound like excuses. I am sorry that I have ever caused any one pain and wish I could do something to fix this but I know I can't.

    @sassypants527 You were a great gifter and I hope that you can find it in your heart to do this again because I would hate for an other nestie that deserves you as their elf from not having that experience.

    caseyandlizzie It is too late to check on a card that never got there and I am so sorry. I had not known they were signed until today because I put the books up to keep safe and have not gotten to that part of my list yet.
     
    I am sorry everyone. I have taken myself out of the craft exchange and will stop posting here so no one has to be upset when they look at the wonderful posts by the rest of the ladies here.

    Thank you.  It was never my intention to cause you embarrassment.  I appreciate your comment here (and through elfster, which I just saw a little bit ago since the elfster emails go to junk and I skim through those once or twice a day to make sure that nothing relevant gets accidentally discarded).  I want you to know that I am not one to hold a grudge.  I'm glad it arrived safely.

  • Why does this happen every freaking exchange?

    Every. Freaking. One.

    Because people are jerks.

  • Yup! I sent her the heir chronicles signed and a month or two later after I had reached out to her many times, got a quick 'thanks for the package' message through elfster. This is why I don't participate in exchanges anymore. I've also blocked her so I don't have to see her posts because it pissed me off so much.

    This makes me sad Lizzie because you are an awesome elf. I use the bag you made me pretty often because it light and super useful.
    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”

    Yep.

    Happens every single time. Again, that's why I don't participate.

    I'm really bummed that my elf never let me know if she received her package or not and the tracking says it was delivered two weeks ago tomorrow.  I figure she must have hated it or something, which makes me incredibly sad because I put a lot of thought into it, and it's kind of ruined my exchange experience.  I don't need a gushing thank you post, but even a PM that said yeah, I got it, whatevs, would be enough.  I think I could handle it if she hated it, but the not knowing also makes me wonder if she didn't get it and thinks I'm a craptastic elf who flaked out on the exchange. 

    I'm being neurotic and need to just let it go at this point, but I can't.
    :(
    Nope, you have every right to be pissed. 

    Let's give her a couple of days and call her out. Has she posted since then or is she off the map completely? Either way, she's about to get a good old fashioned shunning. 
    Nope, definitely posted.  I also wonder if she's blocked me or something and can't see my posts, but I've sent messages through elfster and so has @SRodi811 to no avail. 
    I'd out her this minute, but you're probably a nicer person than me.

    If she's been on the board and not acknowledged your gift, she is dead to me. 
    Yes. This. 

    SHUNNED FOREVER. 

    Even if she lost her fingers in some sort of freak lawnmower accident or lion taming experiment she could have had someone else type a thank you for her.  There is absolutely NO excuse to not say a simple thank you.  NOT ACCEPTABLE.  This just ruins exchanges for everyone because this makes everyone weary to participate in future exchanges.  
    I know.  I'm trying to be compassionate since I know she's had a rough time lately, but the fact that she's been posting about other stuff irks me.

    She finally made contact with me yesterday saying she sent you a message.  I think she said on Elfster.
