Hi all. Several sad and bad things happened during and after my 2008 summer holidays (please see note below). I was really overwhelmed and broken by it, and that kept me away from Swap-bot. I left suddenly with a few swaps pending... I flaked! I am ashamed... and I am really sorry for that! I would now love to send the swaps I'm owing. I am trying to make amends with everyone I flaked...I do want to make things right!
I really want to prove that I am a good swaper...
I am really sorry for flaking... I hope I can go back to be a great swapper as I used to be.
Update Jan. 28th - ONE swap left to go!! Woo-hoo!

I love to give, and I always prepare a package that I would love to receive - with nice things and extras, related to the person's profile (I always read it and take notes).
Hi! My name is Sara. I am a 33 year-old woman and proud mom of 3 little kids (range 4 years to 4 months).
I have a degree in Microbiology and I am currently a stay-at-home mom and a bit of a (amateur) crafter.
I love the countryside and the beach and I am lucky enough to live in a city that is between the two!
I enjoy cooking, decorating my home, playing with my kids and plan activities for them, read (although I am findig it difficult to find the time to do all the reading I want), spend time with my husband and craft of course :). I also would love to write but I just don't have the time... :)

Heya Sara,

Olá!!! Adorei a tua ideia de fazer um grupo só para portugueses. =) Era óptimo organizarmos trocas nacionais ^^ Também não sei onde se encontram coisas kawaii em Portugal acho que ainda não temos grandes lojas nessas area. Bjinhos`****
Please stop by the Christian Swappers group and check out our new swap, "Lamb of God". I hope you'll consider joining!:) Obrigada!
Hi sweets! So glad you're in the critter swap! ~Artsyfartsy
I love the My Melody keychain for the kawaii PIF. Thank you!
I will be sending out your magazine swap package today. I hope you enjoy what I picked out :)
Hi Sara! I just wanted to let you know that there are two new Feltbots swaps, the first two in the Christmas Ornaments series that'll be running every month until Christmas. The first themes are birds and trees. Please take a look and join if you're interested.
Your Local Dotee is going in the mail tonight. I am so sorry it is late. My daughter has been in the hospital and I just haven't been able to concentrate on getting this put together. I hope you enjoy your package and get a sense of the beautiful place I live. Again, thanks for your understanding. Gyelle
Thank you so much for the great package. I love the prizes inside of the HK Kinder Eggs, and now have a new thing to start collecting. :)
E me diga se gostaria de fazer um troca particular comigo e quando, ok!;)
