A 'donate' button - you have to be kidding!!! I'd rather no swaps than ones that are done for the wrong reason.

Our weekend has been just lovely.<br /><br />As for the rant, I think we are all with you there. I love the term "Swap Mama", cause when you run a swap you are like a mother. Looking out for the kids and sacrificing a little so that they can have a good time. Selfless I guess. I admire all such swap mamas.<br /><br />Hope you have a great week!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02611233587655427186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-12087100890752192222009-11-22T22:03:48.897+11:002009-11-22T22:03:48.897+11:00LOL Donna!

No decent cow would do that or would they. I just wanted to say I come to your site not so much for the sewing but to keep up with what the interior of Aus. is looking like and going through. You give a true picture of something other than city life. Thankyou. I wish I could send you some of our sea breezes. I feel for you know how unremitting inland summers can be. I hate ads but even more I hate to come to a blog with a black background or one where you have to click another time to see each post. I don't bother with them anymore.

You know I did it, I thought it would be fun to get to know another lady from a different country. I was told to email her directly, I did and she emailed to me...some months ago, one time. I have written to her to since her first email to no avail. I am not writing threatening letters or being nasty at all. Actually, I am writing to her like she is answering my emails. It isn't the money, I don't even want the money back. I haven't written to the shop to ask because, what if the lady is sick, or really has a problem? I am just hurt about it. Will I do it again...I don't know. We were told, by the shop, to find out what the other person might be interested in. The lady told me she was a beginner quilter. Maybe she felt overwhelmed. You know, all she would have to do cut out a pic of a kangaroo, glue some glitter on it, hang a string and call it an ornie...I would love it! I know you were blogging about google ads, of which I hate and are very distracting on some blogs I used to read, but I had to tell someone.

I agree with you. I read Nancy's blog and I agree with her too. See when you 'talk' with the right people we sound anything but cranky. We sound right!
