HEAH CHECK OUT MY NEW GROUP FOR BRAND SPANKIN' NEWBIES!!! Junior Swappers We'll swap EVERYTHING except email and postcards...Join on in if you have 0 - 25 swaps, no ratings of 1 or 3, OR if you haven't been rated yet. Make sure your profile is filled out first.


ABOUT
SwapBotters Unite:

This Non-Swap site, but a Social Network Is NOT a part of the Official Swap-bot Website. It is a public Network were anyone can view EVERYTHING without having to join. However, if you'd like to post, videos, photos, or discussions and blogs, you have to join (just as you would any other Social Network or Group). It is NOT A PHISHING Website. There is nothing for sale there, and noone will be members who are there to lore you into anything except sharing your Swap-Bot goodies.

It is a Social Network for fellow swappers who swap at Swap-Bot.com to gather, make friends, converse, brag, and share your Swap-Bot Goodies. ALL Swaps must be accomplished here at the Official Swap-Bot.com web site.

If you choose to do private swaps via the Network, you must understand that it is at your own risk with no way of rating your partner via the official rating system at Swap-Bot.com


Don't Be A Swap Taker/Lifter or Non-Rater of Swaps. You may just get listed:

pic

Send your Swaps out or you may end up BLACK LISTED by your partner. To be removed - you'll need to make good with your swap partner that put you there.


IMPORTANT NOTE: If You receive a swap package from me, and you believe that it does not meet the minimum swap requirements, PLEASE PM or EMAIL me right away so that I can fix it for you. Communications is Critical.

Okay, If you swap with me and your package doesn't meet the swap requirements, please don't get mad if I contact you about it. I'm doing you the favor by not rating you on impulse. I do believe in redemption.

        --- Also, know that I DO NOT condone ---

"drama" and will not feed your addiction if you are a "drama queen/king". I will always give you the chance to make things right so that I can rate fairly.


Speaking of rating - the Swap-Bot Rating system (which I don't totally agree with) is cut and dry. With that said, "I DO NOT rate on whether I like your art or package. However, I will give a heart based on that. I rate whether or not your package met the rating guidelines (with a few minor exceptions that I will notate in the comments of why I rated you what I did).

So please, let's make this fun. There are rules for each swap, so if you join a swap, go by the rules please. That way, everyone is happy.

IF YOU SEND TO ME:

FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE SWAP - the rating I give will be strictly based on that.

Please be ON TIME with your Sends. I WILL RATE a "3" automatically and with out notice for LATE SENDS (A "Late Send" = not postmarked on or by the Mail by date). So consider this as my LETTING YOU KNOW in advance.


badge

I pledge to other swap-bot members to:

  1. Rate for every swap i take part in.
  2. Rate as soon as i am able to get on line after swap is received.
  3. Rate Fairly, I will only give a 1 rating if a swap hasn't been received and that no contact has been made from the sender. I promise to pm member first to give them the chance to resolve the situation first.
  4. I will only give a 3 if i feel that the swap didn't meet the requirements and that the partner choose's not to correct the swap.
  5. I will try and leave a message on all ratings to state what i received and what i was happy with, even if its just a thankyou.
  6. I will not use slander or badmouth anyone when given a rating, facts is all that is needed when rating a 1.

This Is Me

MAILING


I have decided that from this day (10-3-09) I will be mailing packages out twice a week following the swaps sign up deadline. It seems I'm going to the post office daily. So that is the reason for this. I am off work usually every other Friday and it would be easier for me to cut down on my post office trips. Thanks. B


 A B O U T ME:

I live to bead. I'm just starting to do Altered Art, ATC's and Dotee Dolls. (NEED DOTEE FACES please) I'm horrible at drawing. I'm really into the rolled paper beads now. Here's a set I made the other day, I call these along with the matchbox carrier - "Sunflower Bee-d" pic

 I WILL GO GA-GA! OVER
  • Vintage and Military Ephemera

  • Bling Dots

  • Shiny Red Hearts

  • Vintage Images

  • Asian Ephemera

  • Anything shiny in my birthstone (peridot)


"Art is what's in the Heart-sch122708"


I have NO ALLERGIES, love Hershey's Chocolate; Lays BBQ Chips, Sea Food, PB&J, and mostly all things fattening, including Dentine and Eclipse Peppermint Gum.

 My DON'T LIKES

I HATE black licorice, drama; I'm not fond of the "anima?/anime, kawaii'" stuff, also have very strong dislikes for unreasonable people, people that can't take constructive criticism (esp when they ask for it), people that don't appreciate you contacting them to correct a swap,

 NOTE about Tardiness

Don't expect me to hunt you down for a swap. If you're going to be late, communication is KEY. I will not be "checking up on you" except to PM regarding a problem with a swap. So don't expect that I'll be looking for clues at your profile.

 SOME LIKES

I'm drawn to things with hearts (doesn't matter what it is).
I ABSOULUTELY ADORE Asian type/themed wrapping paper, fabrics or origami papers.

I love things miniature and small, such as the little "homies". They are too cute..

Love the Tampa Bay Bucs (I grew up in Florida - so that comes naturally).

I'm married, no children and two dogs Defiance and Joey.. I work full time in my spare time and when not waiting on my husband hand and foot, I bead & and now mostly craft for swaps, the other time. I sing (not for a living).

If my house caught fire and I had to get out quick, I'd grab my camera, as many beads as I could dump in a biggest bag possible, my iPhone and my dogs Joey and Defiance.

I love thumbing and re-thumbing through all of my old and current bead magazines looking for inspiration.

I love shopping at Michaels, Joanns, Walmart, CreateForLess.com and local bead stores for beading supplies.

Would love stuff for making ATC's
pic

and Dotee Dolls (my new found Art) from papers to fabric. Since, I'm still stuck in the 70's, I created this and call it - "In the Essence of Me"

pic

With that said, 70ish stuff and colors and Vintage style stuff is lovely and would warmly be accepted.

If I get stickers - Hearts, Butterflies, Vintage and Dots are my favorites

I literally have stock in FMG (I live at that site), and "CreateForLess.com".

 COLORS

My favorite colors are Reds, Greens, Blacks, Browns, Yellows, Peridot, Lime, Black, Forest Green, Mustard, Orange, and earthy tones.

I NEVER FLAKE and am NEVER LATE on a Swap. My imagination is so wild - I warn you, if I'm your partner - "Be Prepared".

F A V O R I T E S

MY FAV ETSY SHOPS


 T.V.

Seinfeld, CSI:Miami, Flintstones, Columbo (basically all of the 70s t.v. shows), The First 48 hrs, Paranormal State, Criminal Minds .

 MOVIES

ALL Johnny Depp, Meet the Parents, Team America, anything with Robert DeNiro, The Anchorman (It's so bad, it's good), Anything with Terrence Howard, The Mummy Series, anything Ben Stiller, Anything Josh Stewart

 BOOKS

All Stephen King Novels (including the Bachman Series), Anne Rice (all), History, Beading, Altered Art books, A New Earth. Someone gave me the first book in the "Twilight" Series but I have yet to start the read. Hopefully, someday, I will.

I send all of my swaps before the mail by date. Please at least acknowledge you've received my package by rating. My swaps always meet minimum requirements, so even if you do not like it, you must rate at least a 5. The following list is a list of the NONE RATERS. If it's been over 30 days since the date I've sent to my partner and they still haven't rated me, they will be listed here:

NONE YET

oh my gosh! i just got my package for the thrift store treasure hunters tag and it is amazing. thanks so much for the wonderful items. my husband says some of the buttons are from a WWII army uniform. his dad was in the war and helped liberate the concentration camps in germany. the buttons will hold a special place of honor since my father-in-law destroyed his uniform (out of anger) when his oldest son enlisted. once again...thanks so much
