As a general rule, if I contact you for the trade, I will work to get mine done first. If you contact me for the trade, then YOU must complete your 1/2 before I begin my 1/2. I do not work in order of trades. The order depends on a number of things. If I initiated the trade, and you finished your half FIRST, my 1/2 becomes priority in my list of to-do items. It also depends on my mood. I pick and choose who sounds the most interesting to draw first. Also note that I will not mail out my 1/2 if I have not received any confirmation that you have completed your 1/2 of the trade.
