May 2021:

I am on to check on ratings that are still out and rate people who have sent me items. I won't be swapping for a bit due to my illness/mental health being really unwell/flaring right now and starting a business is taking all the rest of my time.

If there are any issues, please message me or send me an email (I may check that sooner.) Otherwise, check out my business page if you want to keep up correspondence as I'll be very active on instagram with that project.

Thank you to everyone thats supported me thus far! Ive been amazed at the wonderful people who came from Swapbot to support my art

These are people who have gone the extra mile and angeled for something I was flaked on! 

@JennaZ who hosted the "Christmas for the Dogs" swap and angeled when my partner flaked on me twice in a row. My pup loved all the toys she sent (she sent quite a package of goodies for her!)

@Minxy1964 angeled me the Random Acts Of Happiness #3 swap :) thank you so much, dear

@Artistic was the swap host for the Writers Year and sent me a huge Angel package to make up for my partner flaking! She went above and beyond the swap requirements and sent a really lovely package! Thank you so much!

@queenelisheba for angeling the winter solstice swap

@Tiffaknee for angeling the "cup of tea for you and me" swap. A+ friend and swapper ❤️❤️

@CariahCreates sent Poppy a sweet Valentine's gift from her pup Toby, since Poppy was flaked out of a Christmas present for the "dogs of Christmas" swap. It warms my heart how kind some people are! I was angeled twice for this swap (from @JennaZ first.)

@SabbySteg angeled one of the Lush Boxing Day swaps I was flaked on. Such a very sweet package and sentiment, thank you dear!

@henjomaani for angeling AND resending the Tea for Tealovers swap and sending me a big envelope of tea

@sal410cat for angeling the BoS swap AND an Autumn swap I was flaked on last year. Thank you so much :)

@schaefchen87 for angeling the "not my country" food swap! So many delicious treats :) thank you!

The following swaps I have been flaked on and haven't been angeled for:

• Sweets and chocolate swap- 8$ of candy from your country (this has NOT been angeled so far, despite the comment on my profile. The comment is from someone who flaked on another swap with me, so I'm not holding my breath.)
• Private Lush Boxing Day Swap- was the host of this swap in my Lushaholics group. I was supposed to receive 10-15$ of holiday products (which included the bogo sale extras), I was flaked on by @mailboxqueen30 and it was not the first flake, but the most expensive since I sent her a nice box of lush surprises in exchange.

Please Note: I will never rate someone poorly if they send me something from my dislike list..but I definitely give hearts and raves for giving me teas from my loves!

I dislike:

• Rooibos (African honeybush)
• Boring Black Tea with nothing in it
• Lipton

Love:

• Earl Grey in its many varied forms
• Fruit teas especially ones with actual dried fruit in them

• Matcha
• Bedtime/Non-Caffeinated teas
• Clipper brand
• Unique teas like strawberry chocolate or praline
• Teas that are specific to your country

Brands I absolutely adore:

1. There was this Praline tea from Russia or Eastern Europe with the brand name of Curtis.
2. I LOVE Strawberry tea/ Erdbeeren Tee!
3. I love dessert teas that have fancy flavors like cake/cookie/pastries
4. I also adore a good evening tea thats caffeine-free for bedtime. especially if its something unique and out of the ordinary to the normal "sleepy time" herbal tea
5. Please PLEASE send Moomin tea! I love it :) and Nordqvist!
6. Teekann Winter teas from Germany such as Winterzeit!

Things I especially love for Food Swaps

• Crisps, especially spicy ones or paprika ones
• Teekanne winter flavors like Winterzeit and the Marzipan/orange flavor!
• Chocolate! Milka, German chocolate, Kinder, hazelnut chocolate, you name it!

• Eis Tee (Especially the watermelon flavor!!)
• Junk food from around the world
• Tea and hot chocolate
• Noodles!
• Cute foods that are shaped like animals (i'm a child at heart!)
• I have a big sweet-tooth, so pastries or other sweets are much appreciated :)
• ANYTHING from Iceland as long as it doesnt smell or isnt Licorice flavour. I miss Iceland so much! *
