1-8-20 My baby girl is getting close to giving birth to her first baby (#7 grandchild for me!) If I go missing for a few days..I will be back on as soon as possible!

I am always willing to do private swaps for:

• ATCs
• Memorydex cards
• Journal cards
• Altered Index cards
• Altered Business cards

Ratings:

• I don't rate swaps on extras, I rate them on the actual swap item. It is appreciated, but not necessary to send extras in order to receive a good rating from me! If I send extras in your package, it is because I like to do it and have it at the time to share.

• In 11 years on swap-bot I have never sent a swap late! If something were to ever come up..I would communicate with my partner & co-ordinator!

• Please let me know if I do something wrong BEFORE rating me, and I will do my best to fix it! Thanks!*

Groups

I am in a lot of groups. Sadly I find it safer swapping that way. Although groups don't totally prevent flakers, it does seem to help a little!

Mailing Swaps:

MOST of the time I take my mail inside our little PO and have it weighed. However, if its something I know is fine with 1 stamp (postcards, occasionally ATC, etc) I will put it in the blue outside box. I do mark sent after putting it in the blue box. Just an FYI in case the marked sent date and cancellation date don't match up!

I am a free spirit with an old soul. I love nature, reading, quiet nights at home, and mysteries. I love baking, sewing, crocheting, paper crafting, jewelry crafting, sculpting (not many crafts I do not like).

I love to draw, sketch and paint. Not the greatest but I enjoy doing it.

Some of my sketches I scan into computer then manipulate it digitally. Sometimes I prefer this look over my original drawing...depends on my mood!!

• I am working on a project featuring ATC or Twinchie size Alice in Wonderland & one featuring Nursery Rhymes, in the same sizes. If in doubt what to send, either of these would be perfect!

• I'm also working on acquiring an APC deck in Alice in Wonderland theme. Thanks!

Tea and coffee

LOVE BOTH!

My tea likes are more minty, spicy, etc. LOVE chai! Not a huge fan of fruity flavors but will try anything once!

I do angel my own swaps that I host, but sometimes it does take me a little while, so please be patient with me!

ALSO *if you are RUDE and DEMANDING I will NOT be angeling anything for you!
