Last year, I joined a circle journal. It was all supposed to be over in 6 months. My journal has not made its way home.
The organiser, had my journal, but got ratty, because hers went missing in the post. I was the last person to have it, and sent it off to the person next on the list. This person never let me know it did not show up, and by the time she did, it was too late to trace. I had tracked the parcel, but the info is only held for 3 months. There is not any record of the parcel anywhere, and its never showed up.
I did another page and passed it on, and felt bad about it.....you might recalll the album....it was all about witchy spellls etc. very weird.
Just amazed that this lady has obviously decided to "pay me back" and keep mine.....To be honest I dont particularly care......but it would have been nice to at least see what others had done. I put a lot of time and effort into all the others journals, and just feel like I have been kicked in the teeth. she does not answer my emails, so I am pretty sure its gone.
Lesson learned....

I've never heard a positive story about a circle journal. I'm sorry yours didn't work out like it was suppose to.

I actually question to be honest the woman who I sent the journal to.....either way it makes me feel sick.
I have done one circle journal that was great. The group was really committed, and sent stuff on on time. Only one did a shoddy job, all the rest were awesome

This is why I've stop doing swaps because problems always occurs. She should have been upfront with you about what she was doing. Very childish, she didn't hold the person that you said you sent hers to responsible as well, only you. Chalk it up to a learning experience and move on. I would send her note telling her how sorry I am that her journal came up missing and that you did your very best to resolve things.

I wouldn't hesitate to let everyone in the group know what happened. If you have a receipt you have proof you mailed it. Once it's out of your hands you have lost any control over it.
Friends aren't people you particularly like for any special reason. You just like people because they're your friends.

^^Ditto.
I was going to say make sure that you let the entire group know that the responsibility was knot yours once you mailed it and that the organizer is playing payback.
I used to do circle journals. Matter of fact my first few were done here. I still have them - no issues in those. However, a circle tag swap here went awry.
