Ice Dance

I have not talked about this much in the two years I have been on Swap Bot, but ice skating (specifically Ice Dance) has been a huge part of my life since I was little. I used to be a competitive singles skater. After some time away, I have decided to dedicate 2021 to fully focusing on training, to get ready to compete again in 2022, but this time in Ice Dance. It’s a lofty goal, and I am excited to pursue it. Encouragement is always welcome!

I would 💕 encouraging letters, swaps and gifts based on ice skates, ice dance and figure skating. Things like:

⛸ Ice Skating ephemera, stickers or washi

⛸ Ice skating postcards or notecards with a letter or new for me to write on

⛸ Anything vintage figure skating or Sonja Henie

⛸ Any cartoon characters or animals on skates

⛸ Anything from or inspired by my figure skating etsy wishlist

⛸ Old skating pictures from books and magazines

⛸ Ice skate ornaments (I have them out all year)

⛸ Starbucks gift cards (5am is SO EARLY!!)

⛸ ANYTHING with Ice Skates on it

Collections

Wishlists Linked Above

Linked above are these wishlists, you can tell a lot about person by the wishes they make:

AMAZON WISHLIST is things I have been pining for, but haven’t brought myself to buy for a number of reasons. It’s also the list I share with family for holidays and my birthday. So there is a huge variety of things.

ETSY WISHLISTS: I have 4 wishlists.

• FAVORITE ITEMS: This is things that have caught attention - everything I OOoo and AHhhh over.
• FIVE BELOW: This is what it sounds like. Everything on this list is $5 or less.
• FIGURE SKATING: figure skating items I would like to have ... someday.
• MY TN - STANDARD SIZE: Is a wishlist of things I would love for my travelers notebook. If there are color options BLUE or RAINBOW are faves. My TN looks like a River Song TARDIS journal.

🚫 I live a pretty minimalist lifestyle and lately I have been getting envies full of things that I have no use for. So, if you are putting toss-ins please be sure they are something from my lists above. If not, please do not send them, they are wasted on me. Not that I don’t appreciate the effort, I just don’t keep things in my house that aren’t useful, and I usually end up sending them out on in RAKs and such. Lately though it has been costing me a lot of money to do that. I would really rather not get them. If you aren’t sure, please ask. I would rather have a ruined surprise than get stuff that is not useful for me. (NOTE: This does not apply to swaps where random things are part of the swap)

🚫PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME PACKAGES WHERE EVERY SEAM IS TAPED SHUT. THESE ARE VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO OPEN AND CAUSE ME PANIC, AS I HAVE BROKE, CUT AND TORE ITEMS INSIDE TRYING TO GET INTO ENVELOPES. I UNDERSTAND IT IS REINFORCEMENT BUT THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY. (Like - leaving one corner available is super helpful)

🚫ALLERGIES: Walnuts (other nuts are okay)

🚫Anything musty, strong perfume/incense or smoky smelling - it kills my senses and overwhelms me and goes in the garbage.

🚫AUTISM SPEAKS anything - puzzle pieces, blue pieces especially. This organization is not supportive of actually autistic people. I don’t agree with their philosophy, nor do they speak for me. (Advocating moment)

🚫 Propaganda of any kind

Please Note: I am only on Swapbot a max of 1 hour a day. I literally have my ipad set to disallow me to be on longer than that. So, if I don’t get back to you straightaway it’s probably because I used up my allotted time. Don’t worry I will be back tomorrow!

Here is the steps I take for swaps...

1. I sign up or create a swap.
2. If it is not a profile based swap, I prepare the swap and have it packaged and ready for when partners are assigned. If it is a profile based swap, I wait until partners are assigned - naturally.
3. When partners are assigned I address and send off the swap, usually the same day. Unless it is a profile based swap, I tend to have to shop for those, as I do not have a stock pile of stuff to send. If it is not a blue box(mine blue box only allows envelopes) swap I hand it off to a friend (who comes once a week to help with errands) or my husband to take to the post office, as I am blind and getting to post office is a bit tricky. (Also, I recently moved, and I am learning, tweaking, and creating a new system that works for my new location)
4. Once the package is handed off to someone or in the blue box across the street - I am no longer in control of the item. I mark it sent.
5. Once I recieve a swap, I leave feedback. Usually within minutes of receiving it, if I haven’t gone over my 1 hour limit.
6. After I leave feedback I move the swap to “Archive”. Because of this - I do not know if you received your swap until you leave feedback. Meaning I don’t hound or hunt down feedback. I figure everyone swapbots differently, but I know I did my part best I could.

That being said, if you have not recieved a swap I marked sent, please message me before leaving negative feedback, so I can try and figure out how to make it right. Clearly, the postal system does it’s best, but sometimes things fall thru the cracks. I would NEVER flake on a swap. I love swapbot too much!
