About Me

04/21/2023 Who can help me get back into good graces and become an active participant again? Last summer I was diagnosed with cancer, had surgery and several medical procedures. Since then I have retired and concentrated on getting healthy. Downside is I now have a lot of time on my hands, and a burgeoning craft room.

Basically, an old hippie/hedge witch. I believe everyone should be celebrated for their differences. Retired and looking forward to the best part of my life.

Ideal life would be to live in a little cottage (✔️), have a garden (✔️), time to create whenever I want ( have afternoon tea (or wine) with friends in the garden ( weather is almost permitting), wander flea markets for things to repurpose, spend Saturday mornings at farmer’s market and nursery’s.

I am one cat away from being crazy cat lady. I have 3 indoor cats and am caretaker to a feral colony and I practice TNR and make sure they stay healthy.

Mail time

I live in a smaller town and it just came to my attention that all out mail is now being sent to St. Louis for processing! I found that out when a card that I sent to someone in town, less than 2 miles away, took four days to reach them.

So with that being said, going forward if my mail seems to take a little longer arriving that is why. I guess it’s for cost cutting purposes.

If you ever have an issue with one of my swaps, please contact me first. I will correct it and then some!😁

Comment: Hi Sandie I received notification from the post office that I would be receiving your postcard 9/6/23 but I didn't actually receive it. Since they sent me a pic of the back I will go ahead and rate you. I may or may not get the actual card. You know how the post office is. It was dated 4/27/23.update 9/11/23 I received the actual postcard. Thank you for the kitty postcard. Your date shows 4/27/23, the postmark on the front showed 8/8/23 and the postcard on the back shows 9/6/23. Don't ya just love the post office!

Comment: Wow! Super cute pockets and I love all the goodies. The cat pocket is just too adorable. Your envelope managed to get here in one piece after the post office took a big bite out of the top. It was delivered in a plastic bag, and everything inside was ok. Thank you for such cute pockets and for joining the swap! ❤️

Comment: Hi Sandie!! It is a small world! I have not had anyone from Sparta as a partner in the past, but one of my dear friends that I meet through SB lives in Percy! Her daughter lives in Waterloo, so I do get to see her from time to time! I also have a ridiculous amount of stash, hopefully after I retire in December I will get better about using and not purchasing more, but... LOL! Bummer about the smashed finger! I think you are correct about the hub in St. Louis having issues - my hubby is a mail carrier in South County and he gets so annoyed about how sad the state of affairs is at the post office - it also doesn't help that so many people don't want to work hard, sigh! I have mailed stuff to Percy that has taken a day and other times over three weeks - crazy!! Hope we are partners again sometime soon! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
