i often wonder if it is just a need to belong and be part of something (in thread posts only) without the "hard" obligation of upholding that commitment. again this is just a question and not an indictment of anyone in this thread or any other.




It is for the reason you stated (one of them) that I will NOT
sign up for more than 2 EASY swaps at a time, but I try to
keep it at only one swap so that I can make sure that I do
fail to meet the commitment that I made to the swap.



I have a swap that I would like to see done, but since I have
never "hosted" a swap before I fear that I may screw it up.

I hope you meant to say so that you do NOT fail to meet the commitment!! lol (I couldn't resist) Hosting is not hard if you are serious, I would help you get started and tell you how I do it. When I took over I got no instruction and I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone else. So if I can be of any help send me a pm. Lori

HAHA THANKS!!

For catching my error, my brain was thinking faster than
my fingers wanted to keep up. IF that is the ONLY error you
found than I feel PROUD (LOL) because normally there could
be about 3-6 typo errors.

YES I would love your help in starting a swap.

Do we get a little hint as to what kind of swap you have up your sleeve? Just a little hint, please?
