I love and appreciate homemade/handmade goodies mainly because of the time and care that go into them.

Not really into:

Super sweet smells, like florals and other strong scents.

Prefer to not receive religious, pastels or cartoon-y fabrics.

Not a fan of Dollar store "bargain" things, sorry!

Please no convert to my religion or join my whatever type of lifestyle, ie militant vegan or something. I heart everybody, so I'm covered!

I store my crafty and swappy things in my bedroom and normally only my chihuahua is allowed however as the cats live in the house I can't guarantee one of their little hairs won't make their way onto something. I do take great pains to make sure no feline type people come into the room but......The Chi has the run of the room, have yet to see her open any drawers, but you never know.

This is a non-smoking household and mopped and vacuumed daily. OCD...a blessing or a curse?

I try to ship ASAP and if there is a delay, even if I end up looking like the wanker , can girls be wankers?,(Ok, InceyWincey informed me girls are bint, thank you IW, hope I learn to use the term properly) will always let my partners know. It's just basic courtesy.

I am fairly easy going and uber patient.

SENDER.....please know that I rate when I receive a package. If I've not rated then I have not received. Again it's just common courtesy to let someone KNOW their package has arrived.

RECEIVER.....if you've not gotten a package from me, please PM me. I do get delivery conformation for all USA packages. Please pm before you rate.

Open to one on ones.
