!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE READ, SWAP PARTNERS:

• If you haven't received a swap from me around 4 weeks after end date, & you plan to rate me a 1 or 3 please contact me BEFORE YOU RATE ME, so we can work something out. Feel free to contact me :D! packages come all the way from Spain and it can take some time sometimes. Thank you!

• I understand that sometimes life gets in the way and you can't send items on time. All I ask is that you drop me a note to let me know you are running late and that you not mark the items sent until you actually send :).

• I recycle the envelopes, so if they're not broke I use them again. You can do this too when you send to me, don't worry, i'll be happy ;D Recycling is good for our planet, but if you want a new envelope, please, let me know.

• I try to always rate my partners. Please do the same if you can :D & Please do not write 'swap' or 'swapbot' or the name of the swap or anything at all web-related, on the outside of your package. I understand some people want to make it pretty and that's nice but I would much rather have it arrive safely to my door and prevent having the sender send twice so please don't do anything to draw attention to the package. Feel free to decorate inside such as pretty wrapping, please :D:D:D

Thank you sooo much for understanding :D
