Response: First, I am sorry you didn't like your ornament. I had fun being creative and making something that I believed would bring sparkle to everyone's tree. Second, I thought it was the purpose of ratings to not rate creativity per se, but to rate whether or not what you received met swap requirements. ("Keep in mind that you are NOT rating your partners on whether or not you liked what you received, only on if it met the requirements of the swap. ") Creativity cannot be measured or rated ... I took time to create your ornament, I had fun doing so, and it was my wish that it bring you joy. I'm sorry it did not, and I'd like to ask that you change your rating based on swap-bot's rating rules. Added note, 12/22/09: While I did take time with this swap and had fun being creative making the ornaments (and thought they were very creative & cute!), it should also be noted that the swap description does not mention either creativity or originality. Again, I'd like to ask you to please change this rating based on both the swap description and swap-bot's rating guidelines. The ornament I sent *was* handmade. it was, by my definition, a hand-made ornament. I took raw ingredients and *combined* them into a hand-made ornament. I did NOT purchase this ornament. I created it. 12/22 -- Sorry you feel you are being harassed. I have simply responded here (and once in a private message) to ask you to comply with my understanding of the swap rules. I understand your point of view; we differ. You will not hear from me again.
