~*~ Please Note... I always send my swaps out by the deadline, most times well before. If you haven't received anything from me and it is 2 weeks past the deadline, PLEASE pm me and let me know.

~*~ Also, I always rate as soon as I receive a package. It is just common courtesy to at least rate someone who has taken the time to send you something whether it be via email, snailmail, or carrier pigeon. So, if you haven't been rated or received a Thank You from me, then I haven't received your package. However, I will extend you the courtesy of sending a pm before I rate.

I live here in Texas with my wonderful husband/best friend and 2 beautiful daughters. I just happen to come across swap-bot and am sooo excited that I did. I belong to a few internet groups and have been participating in swaps/exchanges with them for several years now. I look forward to getting to know & creating for & shopping for as many of you as possible.

See ya in the swaps.
