About Me

Updated 12/14/2023

I have been away from swap-bot for some time now. My life changed direction, and I found I just don't have time to swap like I use to. I have enjoyed my time on swap-bot but right now my focus needs to be elsewhere. If you need to reach me please message me from my website.

Thank you.

Wife, Mother, Artist, Designer, Computer Tech, Crazy Cat Lady. I have three kids and many cats that keep me on my toes and one wonderful husband who makes sure my toes don't take too much damage. I run my own business, Bohemian Dragon, which encompasses a range of talents and passions.

My artistic inspiration comes from what I see and hear in the world around me as well as my love color and texture. I am very lucky to have had my designs shown in several shows all over the world.

Warning: I have cats. While I try to keep fur out of my swaps from time to time one or two hairs might get in. I apologize in advance.

Formerly lhansendesign, username changed by admin as requested due to my legal name changing.

Please DON'T send me religious/spiritual/personal belief stuff unless it is a swap of that nature. Likewise with food/snacks/tea, if the swap calls for those things then it is ok, otherwise please don't send it. Thank you!

Flakers/Non-Raters

@Cutesygirlynai - Non-rater. I sent her a package back at the beginning of October 2014. I have proof of mailing and proof that she received the package. She claims she never received and now will not answer pms.

@TurtleTats - Flaker. Flaked on me for faux food swap that was angeled by the hostess @sabbysteg Has contacted me several times claiming she will resend but nothing has ever shown up.

@daichki - Tag Flaker. Tagged her months and months ago for some Japanese brochures. She blocked me and never sent them. Angeled by @susieq11

Hosting

I do my best to vet all of my swaps before assigning partners so that everyone who joins one of my swaps is safe from flakers. If for some reason you get flaked on while in one of my swaps I will always angel the swap after your partner has been rated accordingly.

My Swapping Habits

If I Send To You:

I try to reuse packaging if I can but I also make sure all of my packages are secure and wrapped as if the swap was going through a hazard zone. For postcards I always send two because every now and then the USPS sorting machines get hungry and my postcards seem to be their favorite thing. When I mail my swaps they go in one of the several blue USPS mailing boxes that are littered around my town. However none of our mail gets sorted and sent from my town but instead travels to Portland, Oregon and sent from there. So please if you don't get your swap contact me asap!

If I Receive From You -

I try to rate the day I receive the swap but sometimes the kids and work have other ideas. If for some reason you don't get rated please poke me in some way, I promise I won't get offended.

If I Tag You -

Take the time you need all I ask is if its going to be more than a month please communicate.

If You Tag Me -

For quick tags I usually have them out within a week. For more time consuming tags sometimes they take a bit longer because I really try to match what I am making/sending to the person's profile. If for some reason it takes me longer than I thought it would to send I will always contact you. If for some reason a tag I send ever goes missing I will resend, but only once.

If You Are Going To Be Late Sending -

Just please contact me! I understand that sometimes unforeseen events happen. All I ask is keep in contact with me.

If I Am Late Sending -

Either hell has frozen over or something unforeseen happened. I will always communicate but that doesn't mean that I don't expect you to rate according to the swap-bot guidelines. If for some bizarre reason I am ever late, knock on wood that never happens, I will completely understand the rating I receive.

Comment: Reading your answers, I'm reminded how much I too am irked by those who interchange Witch/Wiccan. I am certianly not Wiccan and it bothers me when people assume such when they learn I go by Witch.

Laurie!!

I'm so ...touched!

!](http://www.yourstrulystationery.com/images/cards/multiple-dark-pink-tulips-glass-jar-small-thank-you-FL47.jpg))

It takes so much generosity, courage & ...trust to give away one's first book of anything!

I'm really curious about this, & so excited to start reading "Celtic Magic".

I cannot thank you enough! I do not know whether I'll finally embrace it as a way of life, but I'm most certain that this is what I want to do - find out about these things - at THIS point of my life.

Thank you for re-sending (Pagan/Wiccan Pay it back tag). I still hope the original package turns up at some later point.

sherba31 on Jul 22, 2018:

Thanks for the surprise RAK postcard of the print you have as your avatar. Love the Confucius quote as well. I cannot place the RAK in the PF or in a group, but definitely wanted to acknowledge your kindness!

sabbysteg on Jul 21, 2018:

Hi Laurie! I got a nice postcard from you that I liked a lot, but I am not sure what it was for...can you help me out so I can rate? Also, thanks for the postcard, it is a neato design!

Hell0Z0mbie on Jun 1, 2018:

Hey Laurie! I just set up round 2 of FOPS Swaps Decos. If you're interested, it's here. Love to swap with you! :)
