Comment: 12/28/2020: Updating rating to a 3 as I received the ltr. electronically. The 3 is due to its lateness as well as being electronic (not meeting requirements). However, I am pleased to have received something. 2016: I hate, hate, HATE to do this, but I have put a lot of thought into this rating, and I'm going to follow through with it. It has been nearly a year with no contact from my partner (literally April 2016 – April 2017). I have tried to be as understanding and patient as possible as I know life and struggles had happened, and I wanted to be respectful of her difficult situation. However, considering the following: a) no contact received by my partner though messages (albeit unrelated to this swap) were read in June of 2016, b) In August of 2016, member outlined she is back and going to make good on her swaps, and c) last log on was September of 2016 . . . I do indeed believe it is time to rate and rate fairly. I am more than happy to re-rate if this swap ever does make it my way, but I think it’s fair to assume that member has no intentions of following through.

Comment: New Rating as I just got this Swap in a Message.. 12/28/2020 7:47 AM Thank you.. No PM as to why you haven't sent out this swap or if the Swap was going to be sent Late.. April 2016.

Comment: Thanks for sending :)

Comment: Thank you for the nice letter. Hope you'll write those books one day :)

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful colored pages and extras. Your coloring ability way exceeds mine. I'm happy you are feeling better.

Comment: Will be willing to re-rate. (June 3) Received August 19th, Thank You. I loved your answers! I am glad that you are doing better.

Comment: The first one I've had to rate. I haven't heard from you, you haven't been online in over 2 weeks and never pressed send. I get having depression, but you could have sent a quick message and I would have been more than happy to wait.

Comment: You haven't communicated with me and two weeks after the deadline still haven't sent, so I have to rate you a 1. I realize that life can get in the way, so I'll be very happy to re-rate if I hear from you and and you send after all.

Comment: Thank you Emily for a great envie full of awesomeness!! The bandaids will be so useful as well as stylish and the rest of the goodies will definitely come in handy :)

Comment: Thank you so much for this fun envelope! My daughter thoughts the items were "so cool!". She also says you have great handwriting, and I agree. I look forward to trying the tea. Hearts to you for the thoughtful mail.

Comment: WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Your package just made my day. I absolutely loved reading your letter- I think that it is amazing and wonderful that you did your Senior Thesis on unschooling. Would love to hear more about that. Your package was SO thoughtful and you picked out lovely things for me. I adore those sweet little tags and those luscious flower stickers. The jewelry is so pretty I put the purple glass beaded one on right away it looked really nice on me- did you make the beaded things? How did you know that I NEEDED those exact sunflower seeds?? The tea sounds so delicious and refreshing when the weather is turning warmer here. Fruity teas always seem good in summer. And finally, those super fun vintage style postcards are awesome! I truly loved everything you sent THANK YOU so much for really making me have a super mail happy day!

Comment: Thank you for the list of books and book mark. I had Hinds Feet as my number one book that I listed as well. Also Mountain of Spices is the sequel to that book. Excellent reads I agree.

Comment: This ended up in my junk folder, so I'm sorry for the delayed rating! How awkward and weird these can be!
