Update on 1s: I have been sending my swaps after hours via the do it yourself kiosk. I have a few 1s due to things not arriving. I have had to go into the post office to get the resends metered and sent off. I am hopeful that this means the resends will be arriving ASAP. A bit confused why they disabled my kiosk so we have to stand in longer holiday lines. I will not be signing up for new swaps until after the holidays for this reason. I live in AZ, every one seems convinced they can go everywhere mask less and cough on every one. I use the self kiosk in the evenings to avoid people. I also live in a rural area with volunteer mail people. I have suspected a mail slow down and disturbance after a Fathers Day card I mailed never arrived at my father's house.

I will always resend a swap. Please message me when you don't get a swap from me and I will make it right.

I am married and have a young son. I enjoy silk ribbon embroidery and creating handmade cards and scrapbooks. I was a demonstrator in a stamping company for a few years. I accumulated a lot of supplies. I now send about ten handmade, stamped cards to family and friends a week. I like note cards, cards and scrapbooking! These are my creative outlet.

I am a LARP’er - an earth healer /archer type.

Tea: I love rose mint, soothing combination tea I have a major sweet tooth and love chocolates, but I can't eat nuts.

I am obsessed with supernatural TV show. I had health problems that make sleeping difficult, and would watch supernatural into the early morning hours. I love how they address a lot of issues.

I am a new swapper, so I don't have much in the way of tuck ins and stationary. Most of my swap items were an act of kindness from a friend. When I send for a swap, it's likely going to be quality craft supplies, handmade for you or bought just for you.

I cherish handmade items. Cards, envelopes, anything that you created, I will appreciate. I will give hearts for handmade. I love to create items by hand with the swap partner in mind.

Items I like: I am new to scrap book hobby so anything scrapbook: scrapbook paper designed to look like ledgers, musical sheets, and small writing. Any stickers related to family, Hawaii, the beach or baby as I am scrapbook- ing my son's first year and first vacation to the beach I create handmade cards and love getting rubber stamped images or ribbon, buttons and brads. I would love notecards! I am learning to create ATCs and layered tags, and would appreciate vintage looking papers, interesting ephemera and ATC materials. I love chocolate and mint tea. I love the little chuao chocolates at gift shop with chips, salt or combo. I can't eat nuts or coffee/ mocha flavor. I love to receive stamped images and die cuts. I create cards and scrapbook pages. I love getting cute little punched images as well. My son often adopts these and gives them rides on his train.

I am an avid reader and love mystery novels. I dislike romance novels. I have 'favorite' authors that I follow like Patricia Cornwell and Sue Grafton.

My favorite movie is the Princess Bride, Aliens, Scream, Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones. I re watch these films often. I am a thriller, sci - fi and horror fan. I often stay up after putting my little to bed for a horror film before bed!

Favorite crafts: I was taught silk ribbon embroidery by my mother as a child. She is teaching me machine sewing now. I prefer to wear handmade clothing, even though it is expensive and time consuming. My mother sews clothing for myself and my son, which I adore. I love to stamp and papercraft. I create handmade cards. I average sending out 10 cards a week to family and friends

My son was given the gift of a child's stamp set. He now knows to stamp alongside me. I find it so cute when he declares " for cousin Shae", for example.
