Autumn5

I've been dealing with some heath issues so I'm only doing a limited number of swaps right now. Please contact me with any questions - I may be a bit slower to respond depending on how I'm feeling, but I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks!

I love having fun mail waiting for me when I get to the post office and sending things to others that I think they'll enjoy

I always send my swaps - If you haven't received something from me or there's a problem, please let me know before rating and I'll gladly make it right. If you're having trouble with something you're sending to me send me a note about that too - life happens and I totally get it. Let's make sure this is a good experience for everyone.

I love handmade items - they're always welcome and appreciated :)
