Thank you so much for the awesome Gudetama socks for the Christmas 2023 Stocking Stuffers #1!!

I started crafting away ;) This is going to be the best swap! I can't wait. Have a good week.
Hey there, i'm in the Wes Anderson lovers group with you. I really like your idea for a mini painting swap where we send each other a painting of our a character in the royal tennenbaums. Or something you would see in there house. Would you like to do a private swap with me? I don't think anyone from the group wants to. let me know...Have a good day:)
Come and join our first Street/Lowbrow art Appreciation Society group swap! Its just a simple little postcard swap. click here
Hope we see you there!
hi dalia--i just sent the wes anderson swap your way today--let me know when you get it, ok? it's the largest swap i've sent so far and i've got to be honest--i'm a little nervous and protective (and untrusting of USPS.):D -steph
that's ok. thanks for letting me know.
i didn't see it was for newbies too, sry. awesome, i'll sign up then. thanks!
hello. i'm hosting the wes anderson swap. on the description it says that newbies are welcome. and it doesn't start until april. I'm sure you could get some ratings before the sign up deadline. your welcome to join.
