About Me

Jan 3, 2012 I just received a 3 rating from a swapper that I am extremely upset about. Both she and the moderator have been informed about her unfairness. She has even threatened me with a one! People like this can ruin the swapbot experience but fortunately my experience is usually fun. I refuse to let it spoil my enjoyment.

Dec 2011 -- I received a cute postcard from nmterrier. However, it doesn't say what swap. Please let me know so I can rate you!.

Dec 2011 -- I'm just coming out of my swapping slump! I like swapping.

July 2011 -- I'm going to cut back to minimal swapping for the summer. If you would like to send me a message, please be patient because I won't be checking in every day. I believe I've sent out all my swaps but if you haven't received one from me, please let me know!

2011 New Year's resolution Be more active and PROMPT on Swap-bot. UPDATE Feb 2011. I'm already faltering. Must focus more! I did great for awhile there. UPDATE: April 2011, I'm back on track! UPDATE: June 2011. I'm flagging late on too many swaps. I'm so sorry, partners! I'm sending them as fast as I can.

I'm not that artistic or crafty but I appreciate and admire the work of others. I love to dabble myself.

My children are grown and I'm reaching "mature" age. I have 6 grandchildren.

I live in Virginia, but I have traveled and I love postcards from other places. Love to read genre fiction. I'm also a writer.

NO food or beverage items please.

Wish list

I appreciate humorous references to the passing years, like the Maxine greeting cards.

Fairy tale pictures, books and knick knacks

I love scented soaps and lotions. Handmade soaps.

Craft supplies.

Favorite colors: different shades of red, earthy tones. Bright, bold colors.

Postcards (see below)

Unusual/beautiful bookmarks.

Decorative stickers.

Decorative papers.

Pretty notecards and paper.

Personal anecdotes and stories, either on a postcard, note card or just stuck in with another swap. I like learning about people.

Journaling

place mats - homey, elegant, plain or fancy.

I love ATCs even though I can't make very good ones.

Origami is cool. I just discovered an interest in it. I also like Zentangles.

Interesting jewelry. But I DON'T have pierced ears.

I just discovered I love the look of "Zetti" art! It's based on the art of Teesa Moore. I've seen bookmarks, postcards, atc's, dolls, etc made by people on Swap-bot. They're a lot of work, but I'm going to try to learn.

For an idea of some of the things I like: Etsy favorites

Postcards

I love all kinds of postcards. Beautiful , unusual, touristy, funny, homemade, vintage... The list goes on and on.

I'm looking for some cards with the State name in big letters. Cards from outside the USA are always welcome!

Favorite Reading

Contemporary romance.multicultural romance. SF. Fantasy. Managing and succeeding in home business. How to books on writing. Thrillers and suspense.

Favorite TV

House, American Idol,America's Best Dance Crew, So You Think You Can Dance Judge Mathis, People's Court, Frasier, Star Trek: Voyager, Bones, some other reality shows

I Love Swap-bot!

2/3/2011 currently I have 2 postcards I am uncertain of what swap they belong to. One is from Silela in Michigan. the Other is from Bevmac in Winnepeg. I'd love to rate you if I can find out what swap it is.


I always send and I always rate. If it's been awhile, please give me a poke. Sometimes things get busy around here; however I want it to remain fun for you and for me.

I've been a swap bot member since Dec 2008 and it has been a great experience for the most part.

I strive to fulfill the expectations of each swap I enter. If you don't feel that I have complied, please send me a PM and I'll try to work it out with you. I NEVER 'expect' a heart. It's pleasant to get one but I do this for the fun of swapping.

By the same token, I give out Hearts when I feel especially heartened (pun intended! grin) by the gift. Giving you a five means that I appreciated your gift and I was happy to receive it. PLEASE don't question my reasons for not giving you a heart! My reasons are my own and do not reflect on you or your offering. According to the rules of Swap-bot, no one can EXPECT a heart.

I love swap-bot and hope this won't keep me out of any swaps.

Comment: Thank you thank you thank you! I saw the tiny notepad first-so cute. But then I pulled out the big journal with a piece from Kinuko Y. Craft on the cover. I ADORE her work! I've even met her in person (she's super sweet). I've got greeting cards with her work on them, and now I have a journal! Oh, it's so very lovely and perfect. I can't wait to find just the right thing to use it for. Thank you!
Response: Great! I hope it brings you inspiration too.

Response: I'm sorry to disappoint you. It was not an ad card. Can I resend? Jan 28-no request for resend.

Hello. I must apologize in advance, this is a very long over due swap but I feel I should still do it now that I have the chance.

I love atc swaps, but I am not very creative. I also like to collect book marks, I have some really pretty ones that I bought from books a million, and they are all being used. I also collect stickers and magnets. I hope you have a really wonderful day.

I cherish the 2010 RWA Conference notebook you sent me several months ago. I keep it on my desk, lovingly flip the pages, but haven't written in it yet. Do you belong to the RWA? Are you published or do you self publish or anything?

Thinking of you and wishing you a glorious summer!

Hi, I received my tote from you today and I love it, but I'm not sure how to go about rating you.
