Description:

What was the first swap to come to your mind when you read this swap title? The one that smelled like death eating a cracker? The one that oozed? The one that made you sticky and furry with unidentifable hair? The one that included every item on your "please do not send" list? or The one that never came at all?

Let's face it, we all have at least one horror story - or we wouldn't be in this group trying to protect ourselves and others from the same fate!

A burden shared is halved...
For this swap, you will think of the worst swap you ever got (or were flaked on). Once you have that picture (or odor or sticky hairy feeling) firmly in mind, jot a short note to your partner describing it and why it was the worst swap ever. Naming and shaming is completely up to the sender.

A joy shared is doubled...
For the second part of this swap you must create a package that will erased that horrid image, odor, or sticky hairy feeling that you have so generously shared from your partner's mind forever. Create a package that will be forever remembered for it's thoughtfulness, kindness, and cleanilness!

Pay close attention to your partner's profile and wishes so you can send the perfect thing(s) to them. Pay even closer attention to their "please do not send" list so as not to offend, sicken, irritate, anger, or disgust them (they already got that swap)! Send them supplies for their favorite craft, bags of their favorite candy, a package done in their favorite color or theme, an item that has been on their wish list forever, or something they have longed to try. Knock their socks off, make them cry tears of joy, dance the happy dance, and hug their mail carrier!

This swap is obviously for Dandies only - the Dunces have had their chance:(

So...
1. One dandy partner.
2. One short story (1 page) about the worst swap you ever got (or were flaked on).
3. One package valued at $15-$20 to erase all or your partner's bad swap memories.
4. If you flake on this swap, naming and shaming will be the very LEAST of your worries!

Happy swapping and thanks to RyeRye for choosing me to host:)

I haven't really received a completely terrible swap yet. I have had some very horrible tags, though. Would that count?

I have to admit this scares me. Seems I am always getting screwed, and not pleasantly, on the more expensive swaps. Is this just this groups' swap? No outsiders?
watching for now

Tags, swaps, etc. would most definitely count @grimmlynn Use whatever makes you cringe the most:)

@Starsnow this is a GROUP ONLY swap as I wouldn't join a public valued at this much either! I will angel anyone who is flaked on although I don't think it will be an issue with our Dandys:) Come and play with us - it will be worth it!

I'm taking the chance on this one, and making up one of the first swaps I ever did that I was flaked on!
