About Me

10/3/24 (updated)

Please be aware that I need to replace my living room chair so I will be cutting on expenses. I will only be sending birthday and anniversary cards to my very close friends and family thru January 2025. Also I will not be sending out out large swaps that cannot be sent out with postage stamps; however I will make a few exceptions to that. I hope everyone understands. Please know that I love everyone here on swap-bot and I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't have to.

(7/11/23), updated 8/29/24 Thought it was time to update my profile and tell you a little about me:

I am disabled. I used to be a word processor/secretary. I loved my job.

I have a 29 year old son named Billy who lives with me.

My husband Harvey, who had been living in a nursing home passed away on June 10, 2023. I am now officially a widow. A title no one wants to have.

On Friday, May 24, 2024 our sweet cat Missy passed away. We've had her since she was a kitten, a little sweet baby. She was dying and in pain so Billy took her to the vet to be put to sleep. It was a hard decision but the right one. She is an older cat (would have been 14 in July). Sadly it was her time.

I have 2 cats:

Dagwood (a Tabby, age 15, 2/8/24)

Miracle (an American-Shorthair, age 11, 7/2/24)

I have 1 dog:

Snowball (medium size white Chihuahua, age 15, 1/2/24)

I have made alot of close friends here on swap-bot and I love them dearly. When you are hurting and need someone to reach out swap-bot is the place to be. People here are so kind and compassionate.

I no longer do crafting (except what is listed below on my profile); so please do not send me craft supplies except for stickers and washi which I can use to send cards. You can also send me supplies for anything still listed on my profile. Thank you!

I no longer do swaps on a monthly basis on all of the following groups. I hope everyone understands.

You bring the story of David and Goliath more to life and the extra detail you provide is very informative and interesting. And you brought up ideas that I didn't think of which made this swap so much more fun. Thank you. ,,,,,,,🫶 Thank you for the Scripture cards. I love having these for my swaps and for my junk journals 🌹
