MY SWAPS...

  • For the most part, my swap items will be handmade by me., with the exception of non-craft related swap themes. *I will always do my best to create/send out items that are quality, well-made, and that fit the profiles of my swap partners. *Being that I am a single, divorced Mother, money is a bit of an issue for me. Most of the swaps that I take part in will be light items that do not require too much postage. *I will send out and rate my swaps in a timely manner; and I expect the same respect from those I swap with. *In the event that something prevents me from completing a swap or sending it on time, I will notify my partners, and inform them of the circumstances. *Please contact me if I am late with a swap, or a rating. If you have not heard from me, there is probably a good reason. The post may be lost or late, my computer down, or extreme circumstances, (illness, family emergency, etc.) I hope that we can speak and you will give me an opportunity to rectify the problem before you give me a bad rating. I will do the same for you. *

THINGS THAT I DO NOT CARE FOR

I am happy with any effort a person makes to please me, and send me something thoughtful. However, I would appreciate not receiving any of the following items...*Religious or Evangelical items. I have been a practicing Pagan for almost 15 years and I am quite devoted to my God and Goddess and my chosen path. I will take offense to anyone trying to convert me or save my soul.

I will never foist my beliefs onto you, so please show me the same respect!
