About Me

If you can, please use the Ruth Bader Ginsberg SHEro stamp on your envie to me! UPSIDE DOWN also - that way her face doesn't get marked. I really want to receive as many canx stamps of her!

PHOTOs- I take photos of all my swaps & envie's before I send them out - so I will email a copy of the photos if something goes awry or gaga with the US post to verify that I'm not a flaker or flaking. Please let me know if there's a problem and I'll gladly send it again. Thank a Postie for all their hard work for us crafty swappers.

I will contact you if my swap doesn't get there within a reasonable time because I like to know if the time & effort I spent making a treasure made it to you. Unless overseas, then I generally wait 30days or more. But please, do me the CURTSEY of acknowledging my efforts timely.

Aloha! I give ❤️❤️ BECAUSE in a world full of people judging, criticizing, thumbs up/down, like/disliking everything, if someone took the time out of their day to buy a stamp, send a card/note/letter, walk to the mailbox, etc... just to brighten my day, then I am grateful because nobody is forced to do anything they don't want to do.

So thanks in advance for giving of YOUR TIME, spending YOUR money to mail me your special creations. You didn't have to share so that speaks volumes of your character - in my humble opinion...if your dislike list is long, this too says much of your character. I'm here to learn and experience other people, not just "stuff" & "things".

I put a lot of thought & 💕 into sending out your happy mail because I want to bring a smile to your door.

Comment: Thank you for the postcard. Was the mountain out when you were here? I think there used to be more fish throwing. Not many people can afford fresh whole salmon. Pike place is a fun place to go. I have never been to the state park you sent. I only went to Vegas once. That’s all. Stay well and thank you
Response: Hiya! The mountain was not out - partly cloudly most of the time but I hope my next visit will give me spectacular views. I hope to go skiing as we came through on I90, there was some snow at Snoqualmie, if I remember correctly. I hope you get to Vegas again soon, cha-ching! Thank you for the💜xxMuggleMom

Comment: Wow! That is a most unusual postcard. Very unexpected & of course I did smile haha. Thanks so much for the shaped get well teddy PC!
Response: Yay, I'm glad the card wasn't too out there. I think the postcard is from the 90s - I got a box of them from an estate sale for pennies. They are fun to send out because I can't remember the last time I could find a postcard in the store. I've been traveling alot lately and buying postcards are almost nonexistent...you probably know this already but its amazing to see how little there is nowadays in the way of postcards.Thank you for the💜xxMuggleMom
