Please Note Although I am always willing to do private swaps with people ~ I'm not going to be doing private swaps for "ami's" for awhile. I have a few to catch up on, and then have a project to complete that might be a bit lengthy.

Only thing I'm really not interested in is "Kawaii" & it is really hard for me to find!

I pledge...

I reuse packaging.

Please Note I definately re-use packaging, so don't be surprised if you get a package from me mailed in a Pop-Tart box, Cereal Box, or any other strange package!!

Tags I owe & am owed:

I LOVE & am addicted to the tag games. It filles my "insatiable" desire to Give!

List of tags I owe & have not yet mailed:

Thank you so much for the awesome package which I arrived today. The buttons are perfect for my jar project and the brads are perfect for an upcoming ATC I'm planning. And I cannot wait to try the hot chocolates, I've had neither of the flavours before!

Thank again!
