3-29-20 Please note that although I normally rate the day I receive a swap, it will be a few days after I receive my mail before I open and rate. I am being extra diligent due to having an auto immunity disorder. I am taking extra extra caution on any mail I receive. I know it may sound extreme but this could prove deadly for me so I'd rather someone be mad at me for rating late as opposed to the alternative!

3-18-20 This past week I had 2 pieces of mail that reached their destination with postage due! This was despite the fact that they were weighed and checked by our postal clerk. If this happens, please let me know and I will rectify this!

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! NOT that I feel I'm better than anyone else..because I know sometimes life does happen! 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!*

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!

My family just thought it was me being "weird"!. Due to this - please don't send any patterns similar to honeycomb. Thank you! HOWEVER-I would never rate someone down for this!!

Postcard interests:

• Map cards
• Greetings from:
• Vintage

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 am in a lot of groups for several reasons.

They are generally a bit safer than public swaps.

I also have a little bit of crafting ADD! There are so many crafts I love doing and I never know when the mood will hit me to do something different!

One last thought...

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