What is a "Swap Angel" you say?
Well, occasionally when a swap is going on, a swap participant just drops out of contact or doesn't send their swap partner anything. This is not good for the farmgirl heart.
A Swap Angel is someone who steps up to volunteer to make something for the person who got shafted. So this string is a place where if you are the organizer of a swap, and you have a situation on your hands, you can post a call for a Swap Angel here.

Trish,
This is a wonderful idea! Please sign me up as a volunteer. I know what it's like to be left out and wondering what happened after trying to put a lot of thought and effort into sending a swap out. Thanks for putting this together and for coming up with such a great idea.
hugs

Trish, Count me in also. I hate seeing anyone get left out from someone who doesn't follow through.

Trish,
Great idea! There are "angel" mail artists in the Mail Art swap who have been doing that for the past couple of years. These are the mail artists that are willing to make an extra piece to send to someone who got left out.
It's been wonderful to see how many are willing to do the extra piece.
Thanks!
CJ

Once upon a time, there were four very different little girls... who grew up to be`three very different women. But they have three things in common: They're brilliant, they're beautiful and they work for me. My name is Charlie.
These are my Angels.
I'm sorry, blame it on the caffeine.
Seriously though, thank you all so much!

You should post what you need on this thread, and let more than one angel help you. I read somewhere that when your feelings get hurt, it takes seven nice feelings to get you back to normal. If the person that gets the short end, ends up with lots of farmgirl love, it might be good for her.
That's just my 2 cents, you are the Swap Mistress.

Hi farmgirls, I am in need of help making a sewn swap thing. My partner sent mine to me. I have been sick with migraines and blood pressure emergencies. I feel so bad about being late.
Could someone contact me?

Thank You to my wonderful swap Angel! I was in the mug rug swap and my partner has been ill, so she contacted the A-Team and Holly sent me a beautiful mug rug and note. Thank You so much Holly, I love it and thank you Linda for making sure you swap was fulfilled! What a great bunch of girls I belong to.
Hugs
Julie

I would like to be on the list of swap angels, with a couple of stipulations. I cannot afford to send out of the US, and I don't sew. I'm pretty good at most other crafts, though.

This really works, I had something like this happen to me and received so many answers from loving people that it makes you want to do it too!

I sewed a button on my shirt and the first time I wore the shirt, the button fell of again.
