First, please let me know by PM if you do not receive your swap in a reasonable time frame before down rating and I will make it right! I NEVER flake, and try my very best to send my swaps the same or next day partners are assigned. The mail system is not normal right now so please reach out to me!

I will really appreciate if you RATE ME as well when you receive your items. It only takes a minute of your time 🙂

Hello, my name is Beth and I am a swapaholic.

Happily in a relationship with my best friend and life partner. We reside with my 15 yo baby girl kitty cat. They are my world. I make soap and bath & body products as a little side business and hobby.

I love arts & crafts but I am not super artistically talented. When I'm really into a craft I will pour my heart and soul and tend to be OCD about it. Lately, I have been really into paper crafts such as ATCs, journal making, penpal/snail mail and happy mail art. I want to get more into collage/mixed media too. I am currently trying to find my true passion. Sometimes I am all over the place and my craft mood switches up a little. I struggle to find "the one" and what I am truly meant to be spending my time on. Therefore, I have tons of crafty supplies and my craft room is in need of organization.

Snail mail is A LOST art. It is so much more personal than a text or social media post. Literally no one I know personally sends anything in the mail. Not even a Christmas or Birthday card!

I am new with swap-bot, but used to love trading books and other items on Swaptree. I was HOOKED. I love receiving quick notes, letters, and snail mail and I have many interests. I am open minded and looking forward to seeing your items throughout all cultures and walks of life.

I have 2 nieces (5&6) and a nephew (2). No kids of my own, just my baby girl kitty cat Camielle.

Regarding Tea Swaps: I prefer teas from other countries that I cannot purchase here in the US, if possible of course. I recently tried a Korean corn tea and a tea from Germany that was Sahne Karamell by Teekanne and LOVED THEM. I do like Bigelow Coconut & Almond Bark (if you have it and want to destash).

I don't prefer fruity ones at this time due to the colder weather coming in my area :) I also do not prefer chai.

Please send something you’d like to receive as I always try to do the same. I put a good deal of time in putting together a thoughtful package for every swap.

Please do not send bent, scuffed, ripped, broken, junk, items with hair, etc.

I understand things can get damaged in the mail so please try to protect your items :)

I’m not offended by much, have more likes than dislikes, and totally understand and respect that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions.

That being said, the following are things I do not have a use for:

• Religious stuff

• Political stuff

• Stickers or Planner Stickers (unless if the swap calls for them or they cater to my "Likes" list above). I have a huge bag of stickers and I just do not have many uses for them at this time. I do like washi stickers or stickers that don't look like an actual sticker when applied- those are OK to send.

I will read your profile and try to cater to your likes and dislikes. Again, please send something you’d like to receive yourself.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read about me!
