INFO

PLEASE NOTE Please don’t send me rubbish or something you yourself wouldn’t like to receive. Lately I seem to have received a lot that should be destined for the bin/trash. I don’t want to sound ungrateful but scraps of papers and used items are definitely not for me. There is plenty on my profile to choose from and if you are struggling to find something I like you can always PM me Anyone sending swap to me without a note saying name and what swap sent .will not be rated.Surely out of politeness people would do this but nope so many just dont care shove the swap in envie bingo...Take pride in sedning swaps ......Manners doesnt take much to use them!

PLEASE TAKE NOTE...Update 28th January 2011:

The United States Department of Homeland Security is continuing to require increased security measures for items carried on passenger airlines. As a result, some mail entering the USfrom around the world, and including the UK, that would normally be sent via passenger aircraft must now travel by other means, including ships and cargo planes.

Most items, including personal letters and cards, magazines, CDs, DVDs and lightweight packets, will be delivered in the USwithin a few days of posting. However, there are delays of about two weeks for some heavier packets. These delays are currently affecting stamped items, franked items, and items posted under contract, with the exception of Destination Sort and/or M-Bag* items.

Royal Mail is very sorry for these unavoidable delays. We have implemented a number of contingency plans to ensure as much of our customers’ mail reaches the USas quickly as possible and are continuing to work to minimise disruption to our customers, whilst ensuring we comply fully with the USdirectives and regulations.

Please note i will take part in any swap that i sign up for! Therefore will not follow through.so please if you dont receive email me as it may be lost /delayed in post. Iam NOT a flaker... so please do not treat me like one.... !!!!!! IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU RATE. Chances are I can track it down for you. If not I will resend....If overseas then please ask me for the customs number so I can TRY to track it down BEFORE you rate me!

About Me

hiya , im jude im 43 and married with 2 beautiful daughters live in the UK in East anglia area,after moving from London. i have been avid crafter for nearly 20yrs ,i started basically decorating altering pots then some one who i gave the pot too said you should do cards to go with it!Bingo then it all began,cardmaking,scrapbooking,,paper bag album making ,altered art the list goes on. The it went from a hobby to a buisness doing the craft fairs across the uk ,craft website with excellent ratings and returning customers /clients.Then in 2006 my world fell apart after being diagnosed with ME,Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and this year due to illness have had to close my online buisness which is very sad and miss terribly but i just hadnt got the energy as not having too many good days just got too much we were so busy with orders just couldnt cope with that and my ME.So it wasnt easy deceision i can tell you but one that had to be made. So now im left with boxes of brand new crafty stock to try and get rid of and someone told me about this site so maybe during swaps i can get rid of all these new crafty items and get some items back for my own enjoyment and hobby.As now it has gone back to a hobby.although i have 3blogs 1 is a challenge blog http://creativeinspirationschallenge.blogspot.com/ the second my blog for doing challenges and ramblings. My 3rd is a blog about my life after being diagnosed with ME/chronic fatigue as soo little people are aware of the effects it has on your life and the guilt you go through through no fault of your own so please take alook and maybe you will find out more about this illness thats becoming very popular more and more being diagnosed with it. so i look forward to meeting you ,sharing swapping and taking part in various crafty swaps even may get to host some too. have nice day thanks for taking time to read this hugs judex

I just wanted to leave a message to let you know how much I enjoyed your profile. I absolutely love and agree with your opening paragraph. I had something similar on my profile and then received an extremely rude/mean letter with one of my swaps, basically calling me a horrible, ungrateful person. I took half my profile off, and now the swaps are getting worse since I have no likes or dislikes posted........sighhh. Lots of stuff landing in the recycle bin. Anyhow, just wanted to let you know. =) Happy Swapping.

tampatha on Nov 16, 2012:

Thank you so much for my angeled swap for Big Fat Christmas Envelope. I love everything inside and can't wait to use it. That was great of you!

sosiejude on May 22, 2012:

RATING OF A 3...i would just like to explain that i was in a group and have sent all my swaps promised and had no pm's saying they have not received there swap.But ..iGirlZoe. has been like a child says i havent sent the swaps .When ive had no messages from the receivers to say otherwise .SO today she's been like a child stamped her feet like a baby 2 months after the swap i did with her has come back and RATED ME A 3......Does it bother me know because i don't play games .I can't put this in her comments as she has blocked me as she has a B in her wee bonnet fine by me .All swaps have been sent for the tags ive committed to .I just think it's so sad thought we were all adults but know .I have done nothing wrong funny how non of the people in her group who supposedly i havent sent these swaps to (which i have)havent been in contact saying theyve not received .Months down the line...lolJust thought id put yopu right!!!judex

sosiejude on May 21, 2012:

This is in reply to below...All swaps have been sent out.! These have been sent ,and haven't had anyone pm me to say they haven't received .All swaps were sent ,Don't you dare give me the high and mighty on here when you've not been swapping long. Don't Flake in not that person as you see from my record bit better than yours miss high and mighty dont ya think so dont come on her dissing off to me when all my swaps have been sent ! So no need to angel as nobody has been in contact with me about not receiving!!! If they do fine i will deal with it.It's not your problem so dont get invovled.
