ABOUT ME

NOTE TO PARTNERS - 11/5/09 I will be running late on some of my swaps, but I want to let all of my partners know that I will get them all sent out ASAP!!! I am not a flaker!!! I always send my swaps, but we have some family problems going on that is affecting my ability to complete some of my swaps. As of 11/5/09 I have gained physical custody of my 4 month old granddaughter. I will have all my swaps completed ASAP, but will be running late on a few, especially the hand-crafted swaps. PLEASE contact me before rating if you have not received a swap from me within the appropriate amount of time. Thankyou to all for understanding:)

I am not a flaker!!! I ALWAYS send my swaps ontime unless circumstances arise that are beyond my control. PLEASE pm me before rating if I owe you a swap/tag package but you have not received from me. Also, if I send you a package, but it is for some reason lost by our not-so-trusty USPS, let me know and I will resend.

I always try to rate for every package I receive as I open them. If you have sent me a package but have not been rated for it in a timely manner, please pm me and bring it to my attention. It's always possible that I got sidetracked for some reason and forgot to go back and rate you.

3 RATINGS: I feel like I need to post an explanation as to why I have two 3 ratings on my profile. I became very ill in the summer of 2008 and was hospitatalized for several months. I returned to swap-bot in January, 2009 at which tiime I had 8 1 ratings due to swaps that I was unable to complete during my illness. Even though most of these swaps had been angeled, I completed these swaps and outstanding tag games that I owed and sent them out to everyone and also at the same time send "Thankyou" packages to everyone who had angeled my swaps during my illness. All of my partners were very kind and understanding of my situation. All except 2 partners changed my rating to 5 and even gave hearts, but these 2 partners felt like I deserved a 3 due to being so extremely late sending. I am just happy that I am much better now and was able to get these swaps completed and return to swapping with my many crafty friends here on swap-bot:))) My love for crafting and my crafty cyber friends is what keeps me sane through life's stuggles:)

Hello all!!!

My name is Betty and I am a christian wife, mom & grandma. I live in TN with my wonderful hubby of 31 years, 9 dogs, 2 horses and several barn cats....this list is likely to change from day to day, lol. We have 3 grown children (2 sons, 1 daughter) and 7 precious grandkiddies (4 boys & 3 girls). Gonna be a grandma for the 8th time in July, 2009:))

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2002 and bi-polar disorder in 2006. Both of these conditions cause severe chronic pain and depression. But when I feel myself getting down in the dumps or when I'm hurting so bad I can't hardly stand it, the first thing I do is pray to God for help, and then I go out to the barn and spend time with my horses and other critters which usually put a smile on my face:)) Animals are the best therapy in the world!!! I am very interested in getting into training and working with therapy animals. I am hoping that in the near future I will have some trained therapy dogs & mininutre horses to begin visiting nursing homes and centers for disabled children & adults. It has been my dream for many years to open a therapeautic riding center for handicapped children, but haven't had the funds available to pursue this dream.

I am probably the biggest animal nut you will ever find anywhere:))) I have had everything from horses....to miniature zebu cattle....to llamas.....to goats....to sheep....to potbellied pigs...,to exotic deer....to fancy rats....to dogs....to cats....and the list goes on:)) I have been involved in the past with our local SPCA and also have done alot of animal rescue here on our 32 acre farm. Unfortunately our SPCA has closed down recently due to lack of funding after only 1 1/2 yrs in operation. The law-enforcement and citizens of my county are notorious when it comes to caring about the welfare of animals:((

I enjoy rescueing abandoned/abused horses and dogs, rerhabilitating them and finding new, loving, forever homes. I haven't been able to be involved in rescue for the past several months because of my illness and also from lack of personal funds, but hopefully in the near future I can get back to helping God's furry creatures again:))
