Hope everything is okay.
Hope your Mom is okay. And you.
Hi Nicki, Just wanted to pop in and see how you are doing. How's your mum these days? Have missed the Come Walk with Me Swaps, but I know your hands are full with your mum. Just know I'm sending positive thoughts your way. Hugs, CJ
Hi Hi!! I'm hosting a Foodie Pen Pal Swap which I thought might interest you :) Do swing by and check it out yea.. We would love to have you swap with us! :) Thanks!!
Just wanted to let you know that I am changing my internet service provider and will have a new email after Friday 24 May. If you can hold off sending the Come Walk With Me Swap for May until after Monday. That will give me time to make sure everything is all switched over. I did send mine to you already!! Hope you enjoy our walk!

Hi, did you get the postcard from the getting to know you swap? Cos you haven't rated me yet. :-( It has a vintage advert for Jacobs crackers on it. Along with my details and the swap name on the back.
Hi, I sent the Come Walk With Me.3 swap today, but Hotmail was not cooperating with me and I'm not sure everything actually went through. Could you check your email and see if you got all the photos and text? Thanks.
Welcome and thank you for joining UK swaps ðŸ˜Å
Nicky - thanks so much for the surprise postcard I found in my mailbox today! What a cute little church - I love it! I will definitely send you a card in return soon. :) Hope you're doing well!
