I have unlimited everything and 900 phone mins, I dont even come near going over. I text way more than anything. My text count is crazy a long with my data useage.. Yea I dont plan on it either!!

I will admit I was a little intimidated by my first one. I can't sew anything at all. And when I found out I had Shinja I almost fainted! She can make such beautiful things. But I ended up giving it my best shot. Then I had Lisa and it was much easier the 2nd time around. But with that said, during my first GE, Sylvia (Beamersmom) guided me through it. If I had a question she answered it for me. The 2nd GE, Shinja helped me and so did Sherry with Lisa. So both times I have had others to turn to for help. Even if admin didn't assign a mentor I know that there are a few on here that would be more than willing to help!

I was worried my gifts didn't suffice and was new to the idea of teaser gifts, smilebox, YT vendors, and so forth. Luckily I am a quick learner and somewhat a perfectionist so I was able to pull it through but not without a few scrapes in the process.

At one point Tessa's buddy was worried that I didn't like the gifts but in reality I needed more time to prepare a proper thank you presentation to show my gratitude (this was within a matter of 1-2 days). I invested a lot of time into this GE and was bummed that some members did not give me the patience or benefit of the doubt that I needed. But of course I gave it my best both ways and later was not too concerned how I was going to be received.

Sadly life happens to people. I just hope nothing went wrong on the other end for Deb lest we are wrong in our assumptions. I'm sure it wasn't intentional. Lets be concern and reserve our judgement rather than speaking ill of something that hasn't yet come to light. Just my 2 cents.

It's clear, from your last paragraph, that you don't know the full story......
It is what it is.... It's in Admins hands.... I am moving on......
I have more important things to focus on.

Please, again, keep in mind that this is not to point fingers at any one issue. I don't think that is what this is about. It is about making suggestions for the GE. Not to target one person. There has been more than this incident in past GE's. So it is not to focus on the current one. But to simply provide member input on how to make the GE's better.

I ended up donating almost an entire box from one exchange. These were not new members. I always bought personalized items for my buddy and purchased everything once I had a buddy assigned so I knew I was getting things they could use- it was upsetting to get boxes of stuff I knew had been purchased in bulk with no thought into whether or not my dogs could even have it. That is what eventually turned me off to the GE's. I know that it is better to give then receive and I did enjoy picking things out for my buddies and personalizing things for them- but it was disappointing in the end to not have the same reciprocated. I dont know that there is any way to police these things better though.

I understand. Just MHO and sharing my personal experience in a well meaning way.

I will join the next GE because it truly is a great opportunity to get to know other members in the process. I am fully aware of past members not pulling their part but I don't want to let that deter me from future GEs. I'm just speaking for myself and trying to stay positive here. Please don't take my words out of context. Thanks.
