1- If you set up a barter/trade with me- fulfill your end of the damn barter/trade. Don't keep giving me excuse after excuse. It should not take SEVEN MONTHS and me asking several times about your end of this, to get any sort of info. And it STILL has not been completed.

To that regard- I can't even go and get my own copy of what was supposed to be sent in exchange, as it's now out of print. Yeah. Royally pissed off about that one.

To that end- unless you are family, or someone I've bartered with before and KNOW you will fulfill your end of the deal, or a friend I've known for YEARS or can completely trust- forget it. No. More. Barters/trades. I'm done. I'm fed up with getting burned.

2- If you receive a package from me- kindly let me fucking know that YES, you got the damned thing. I should not have to ask, repeatedly, if it arrived and have to have Fed Ex look it up for me just to find out that, YES, it was delivered. On Oct 28th, no less. If you have the spare moments to get online and post fucking photos, or update your fucking journal/facebook/whatever, then take a spare 30 secs and send me a message saying you got the damned thing.

3- If you don't like something I create, then TELL ME. I won't bite your head off, for gods' sakes. Don't ignore me when I ask. It pisses me off.

4- Don't offer to sell a few of my scarves then bitch about the price I set on them. If you don't think you can sell the damn things, at a REDUCED PRICE NO LESS, then say so and don't make me waste not only my time getting them packaged up and ready to go, but the money to ship them to you.

You aren't doing me any favors. YOU are getting a cut of any that sell, so stop bitching about the price. I don't need your help selling them, I can do that on my own. I thought it would be nice to give you the chance to earn a little bit more cash when you do sell one.

It's ridiculous and it disparages my work. If I feel it'll sell at that price, then you have no business saying it won't. You don't want to sell them, say so.


I. Am. Done.

No more Barters. No more Trades. No more 'gifts'. No more sending my stuff to someone who says they can sell them. It's not worth it. I'm finishing what i have promised people, then that's it. Done.
