About Me

  • CHECK THIS OUT * * * * * -- OK, so I've had a problem happen in life since I joined Swap-bot. I joined to give myself a reason to keep creating art. I jumped in to postcard swaps, ATC swaps, and a few electronic swaps. I was loving it -- the act of creating, of feeling satisfaction of picking the right thing for your partner, and receiving the fun things in the mail.

Around June 22nd, I logged on to my account and was shocked to find that I had received a couple of 1 ratings. No one had contacted me to let me know something was missing. I was blindsided by this! My goal was to never have anything but 5s and the majority of those 5s with a heart.

Both of the people who left the 1 rating were in "Stuff the Mailbox #24" where I had 20 partners. I notified everyone in the swap that my packages were missing and told them I would get another package out in the mail asap.

Shortly after that, I started receiving other messages from other swaps stating that my mailing had not been received. The best I can figure is that I'm missing outgoing mail from about May 10 - June 22.

I filed a report with the post office and the police. They are conducting an investigation, but I don't know any new results. Anything that was a package, fat envelope, a bright/colorful/decorated envelope, and even fancy postcards have been taken.

I am working as quickly as I can to get substitute items sent out to my swap partners. I am not skimping on artwork, ATCs, postcards, or anything. Your replacement mailing will be equivalent or better that the original item sent to you.

I plan to have every swap item(s) mailed out by July 13. I hope I can count on everyone's patience, understanding, and forgiveness.

Thank you, jill = jillybeanie


Hello! My name is Jill Campbell, and I live near where the corners of Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri meet.

I am a retired teacher, with 10 years teaching in public high schools and 20 years teaching at Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, Kansas. I have my Bachelor of Science in Education w/ an Emphasis on English and Technical Writing. I also have 2 masters degrees and hours toward my doctorate, but I am probably finished unless i see a class or classes that just interest me.

I am a grandmother of 4 little girls who I refer to as "my little princesses". I used to think that people who talked about their grandkids like this were just SO annoying, but now I understand. There is nothing that compares to grandchildren!

I grew up on a farm, where my life lessons were influenced by the value of a life, strong work ethic, sense of humor, responsibility, and accountability.

I currently spend time playing the piano, reading, painting, crafting, doing special things w/ my granddaughters, cooking/baking, taking pictures, scrapbooking, book-making, and more. I love creating things in all levels of difficulty.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! It's nice to meet everyone here and I can't wait to get started swapping!!!

Comment: I have been started to be rated 1 even though I've sent all of my stuff so far. So, I think it's the rule on this platform. I will be glad to rerate when I receive the item from you.

Angeled for Sender’s Choice PC July which was never marked as sent and Sender’s Choice PC June which was never received (and likely not sent).

Sending angel-swaps for NOT my country touristy postcard 🌎 June 2020 and for 🌹 Getting started postcard swap #37 🌹 today. If you ever decide to come back and make good all the swaps you decided to flake on, it would be nice to get a message from you.

xninolax on Aug 5, 2020:

Send a message to you about the Fairy themed postcard #2 which I have never received from you. Please answer me or resend. If you can get it re-sent within a month from today, I'll rate a 5.

This has been a very disheartening experience for me as a host. I've had to angel for one swap this week. There are 2 more swaps that I'm hosting that need ratings for items received and confirmation that the items were sent out.

Ohnomissy on Jul 14, 2020:

I read your mail issue on your profile, I sent you a message. I also haven't received anything from the handmade envelope swap. My rating will change if it arrives.

Maud1916 on Jul 9, 2020:

Sorry about your mail troubles. I haven't received the Profile Random Swap, but if you can get it re-sent within a month from today, I'll rate a 5.

Also, please rate me for the Crazy Postcard Swap #1. Thanks!

Justjada on Jul 5, 2020:

So sorry to read about your mail troubles.... I was just checking in to see if you had received the post card I had sent out to you as I have had mail troubles myself and am now cautious. I try to reach out after not getting a rating just to be sure :)

myancey on Jul 4, 2020:

Hey there. I read ur profile and I am still missing a cpl ratings from ya. Hope all is ok. I have sent messages as well. Mindy

swolverton on May 11, 2020:

Oh my gosh, what a great swap. You spoiled me. I really love all the things in my package. :) I didnt see the swap name to give you a rating.. But I wanted to send some love for the package and the note.
