5/1/24 - The incredible fatigue wasn't just a day or so, like usual. There's something going around that isn't positive for COVID, but there's no fever either? Neck hurts, headache won't stop, and walking across a living room is exhausting to the point of laying on the floor. It's only been some days. I feel lucky- one person I know has been laid up for almost a month, another for a few weeks. Hard to tell with EDS for me, since I'm like this all the time. And today is ALREADY the 1st of May! ... oh no...
I extended deadlines for some swaps, inc. some that haven't been assigned yet. I'll get them out ASAP. Sorry, everyone!
4/28/24 - I got a Mystery Envelope today! 1.58oz, inc. envelope, so it must be a 1-stamp swap with 'extras.' Very nice papers and lots of die cuts! No return address or note. Tulsa OK postmark. Any ideas?
4/15/24 - New blog with swaps current and proposed. I can only create so many at a time. Please expect an update for May closer to April 30th.
Blogspot is no longer accepted as a safe site by my ISP so I've gone back to Livejournal. I've been using it off and on for maybe 25 years and it's still one of my favourite blogging sites.

Message me for my e-mail address, especially for messages longer than trading links, or anything I need to respond back to.
SB was never intended to be an email server. SB Messenger does not allow for photo attachments, messaging multiple people, or most importantly, message chains. I cannot see what you messaged me at the same time that I'm writing back. That alone will significantly delay response times.
I have to go back and open a separate window to look for every single exchange we've had on a topic and any other relevant history before assembling it into a timeline. That is incredibly taxing. I can accomplish other things that are also important, OR I can drop everything for this one stupid message response. Both need to be done, and only enough energy for one 'set' of things.
Also, I can only respond when I'm on an actual computer. I can't do it from my phone. I try to avoid typing on that tiny keyboard for anything at all if it's longer than a phone number. Even my text apps need to be accessible via PC. Relatives who use SMS only often do not get responses because... I can't... type... on... my... PHONE. Which I've repeatedly told people. And yet!
STUFF I LOVE GETTING:
Everything else, I have So Much of right now and I feel like I need to use more of it before I let myself buy more Things.
Feel free to message me if you want to send any of this stuff instead of the swap items asked for. It isn't a problem!
Dislikes:
It isn't personal, I just won't use these items in my own work. So things I will pass on automatically: - Used stamps - Kiddie stuff, kids' stickers - Most items from Dollar Tree - Most planner stickers unless it's just numbers - Felt stickers - Recipes (too many dietary restrictions. :P It's just a puzzle...)
Please no dog hair, cigarette smells, or strong perfumes. I tend to get migraines and don't have a washing machine, so it could take 2 weeks to hot wash something properly.
Sewing basic items. I try to use natural fabrics only, including scraps larger than 2x2" for sewing. Right now my joints are getting worse and will for the forseeable future, so lifting the sewing machine and such in a small space isn't doable easily. But hand-sewing with fine needles for more than a few minutes also isn't... I fear I'm losing one of the very few things I can still do. Any advice?
Papercrafts like art journalling, scrapbooking, and some bullet journal/art journal hybrid work for daily use.
I started a blog just to post FAQs about my swaps, USPS, tracking, etc.
Please check the link before asking about lost things, swap requirements, why I don't just go off ratings before banning someone, etc.

Thank you much for the bonus envelope full of paper goodies.
Did youuuu send me a second envelope of things, you kind person? π I absolutely love it! The skull is my favorite, of course, but all of these bits and bobs are super fun π
Thank you!!! πππ
(I also opened this while cooking with the family, so it gave me a chance to brag about how amazing you are~)
Thank you for the LSRUS birthday wishes. I enjoyed your note and I love the goodies you sent. The skull is so cool!! π I hope you had a good birthday and sending positive thoughts for your move.
