Please do NOT tape the envelopes like it contains a mission from Inspector Gadget. I need room to open with a letter opener or my finger as sometimes i rate while we are out and bout. When we have to told it to the sun or some type light to open there may not be a heart involved no matter the goodies. Thats a lot of work to open. Especially when the whole envelope is taped with packing tape. Ok rant over.

We go about once a week to the PO Box. Due to work its just easier on us this way.

I DO RATE when the mail comes in. Yes it may take me a few days but here is why: You spend time on making and sending the swap so I like to spend time enjoying my happy mail and giving everyone a personal rating.

***Please note the mail here is still messed up. sometimes its not picked up at my house like it should be and sometimes it takes 2 weeks to go from one side of town to the other. Allow EXTRA TIME before getting worked up that i did not rate you.

I hit send when i have my family place swaps in box at my home address. It may be placed in the box after the mail has been picked up. As we never know when it run here at the home address.

PLEASE GIVE ME TIME TO GET MY PAGE BACK. .

For some reason in the middle of updating my laptop froze and deleted everything even though i saved as i went. So a years worth of stuff gone in a blink of an eye. I want to cry

Having a hard time for some reason saving items and lists. Any more help would be great!!

I do not try to rate down just because I do not like my mail. I rate based on the swap description. And I prefer to contact the host before i rate down.

***Please dont worry right now if its profile based. Im getting there >>>........>>>> again.. ugh!!!!!

*Handmade items are fine if the swap says handmade items may be sent. Or as extras.

*Christmas glitter, religious, non-religious, anything Christmas. you can send year round!! INCLUDE A TRADITIONAL GREETING IN THE CHRISTMAS CARDS PLEASE

** I do try to scrapbook swaps the best i can. postcards go in photo albums, letters in clear pages in binders, other stuff glued in my scrapbooks, journals, ect. stuff i cant use is passed along. But even that i take a photo and document it in the scrapbooks.

*Have me for 2 or more swaps at the same time or close to it???? Save the stamp and a Tree! send in one envelope. Please clearly mark which item is for which swap. Or just send me a pm letting me know.
