About Me
05/27/2020 I will NOT be swapping until COVID 19 is under control, Chicago will start to open this week. I will bring back the 12 Days of Christmas swaps late July early August, and hopefully go back into writing letters again. I been home schooling my 7 yr old ASD daughter, been very busy
I am sorry I have NOT kept up with my swap-bot friends i just been very busy, Layla and I was ill at the same time,and home schooling it was a nightmare.
03/24/2020 Due to the Covid-19 virus I cancelled a lot of swaps. Mail is slow on my end, please be patient with my ratings and mailings. I been so busy with my 7 yr old and getting lessons ready, and preparing for this horrid virus.
I hope my Swap-Bot family is healthy and doing well My city post office Harwood Heights IL, is a week behind outgoing and incoming, this has been happening since December. I have always mailed on time, never late, but my mail is NOT being post marked sometimes for a week later. At time, I will NOT receive mail for a week. I will keep in contact with all my partners, I always click send when I mail. Please be patient, I am hoping this mess gets straightened out, I even contacted along with other ppl in my area, the attorney general, we're waiting to hear back from her office.
My father lost his battle with cancer on 12/28/2019, I am still processing this, and still in shock. BUT i know he's out of pain and suffering.
I love to write letters and journals
I been getting into postage stamps, any cool postage stamp on your envelope to me, and mail art will gain you a heart.
2020wish list
Anything Dr Seuss, any size ziploc bags, and herbal magazines, print outs book recommendations. Washi-Tape Stickers
Please NO glitter, in any swaps that you send me, even if it's a guideline, I will NOT rate you down. I have a visually impaired daughter and a lil one, we cannot take any chances with glitter getting into their eyes
(I rarely join glitter swaps anyways)
I am not a picky person, I will not rate or down rate you on the extras you send. I love any letters, or any poems written from the heart.
#I am always on the lookout for a great pen
If you have NOT received a swap from me, please by all means let me know, if I see i am not getting rated I will contact you about the swap. If you have not received a rating from me, please message me. I just went through all my messages, tried to get caught up on type 1 swaps (ratings) If I owe you postage, I have no problem reimbursing you, I usually take my swaps to the post office to get weighed, but you just never know. They can be wrong too

Hi Vanessa,
I am sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I know how hard that can be! I found out when I saw it on Yvonne's homepage. You know her husband just passed. Praying for you both dear friends. Grief is a long and drawn out process. They are gone and missed but never forgotten. I just told my daughter it has been well over a year and i still talk about my Mom every single day! Memories will never fade and I know we will see each other in Heaven. I hope you have that assurance too. Prayers & Blessings, cc
Hi Vanessa! You are most welcome! Hang in there and stay safe, my dear friend!
Love and blessings,
Your friend, Yvonne

Hi Vanessa!
Wishing you a happy and safe Easter Sunday!
Today is the most important day in everyoneâs life. It tells about Godâs love and desire to be in relationship with every person, not by dictate, but by choice. To choose to trust, allow Love to flow, to not require intellectual justification and be willing to be vulnerable. Be open to receive all that Jesus opens for you today.
Enjoy a bit of Dr. Seuss so appropriate this unique time.
"How the Virus Stole Easter"
By Kristi Bothur
With a nod to Dr. Seuss đ
Twas late in â19 when the virus began Bringing chaos and fear to all people, each land.
People were sick, hospitals full, Doctors overwhelmed, no one in school.
As winter gave way to the promise of spring, The virus raged on, touching peasant and king.
People hid in their homes from the enemy unseen.
They YouTubed and Zoomed, social-distanced, and cleaned.
April approached and churches were closed. âThere wonât be an Easter,â the world supposed.
âThere wonât be church services, and egg hunts are out.
No reason for new dresses when we canât go about.â
Holy Week started, as bleak as the rest. The world was focused on masks and on tests.
âEaster canât happen this year,â it proclaimed. âOnline and at home, it just wonât be the same.â
Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, the days came and went.
The virus pressed on; it just would not relent.
The world woke Sunday and nothing had changed.
The virus still menaced, the people, estranged. âPooh pooh to the saints,â the world was grumbling.
âTheyâre finding out now that no Easter is coming. âTheyâre just waking up! We know just what theyâll do!
Their mouths will hang open a minute or two, And then all the saints will all cry boo-hoo.
âThat noise,â said the world, âwill be something to hear.â
So it paused and the world put a hand to its ear. And it did hear a sound coming through all the skies.
It started down low, then it started to rise. But the sound wasnât depressed. Why, this sound was triumphant! It couldnât be so!
But it grew with abundance! The world stared around, popping its eyes. Then it shook! What it saw was a shocking surprise!
Every saint in every nation, the tall and the small, Was celebrating Jesus in spite of it all! It hadnât stopped Easter from coming! It came! Somehow or other, it came just the same!
And the world with its life quite stuck in quarantine Stood puzzling and puzzling. âJust how can it be?â
âIt came without bonnets, it came without bunnies, It came without egg hunts, cantatas, or money.â Then the world thought of something it hadnât before.
âMaybe Easter,â it thought, âdoesnât come from a store.
Maybe Easter, perhaps, means a little bit more.â And what happened then?
Well....the storyâs not done.
What will YOU do?
Will you share with that one
Or two or more people needing hope in this night?
Will you share the source of your life in this fight?
The churches are empty - but so is the tomb, And Jesus is victor over death, doom, and gloom.
So this year at Easter, let this be our prayer, As the virus still rages all around, everywhere.
May the world see hope when it looks at Godâs people.
May the world see the church is not a building or steeple.
May the world find Faith in Jesusâ death and resurrection,
May the world find Joy in a time of dejection.
May 2020 be known as the year of survival,
But not only that -
Let it start a revival.
Love and blessings,
Your friend, Yvonne
