NOTE :

Regarding swaps... very important request to all partners who send to me: I have to ask that my partners write somewhere inside of the swap the specific swap name for which they're sending me. Just a piece of paper that says, "swap name: x, sent by: x" would suffice. I have received several swaps with absolutely no information, which makes it very difficult for me to rate, especially when I may be participating in several similar swaps concurrently (i.e. postcards, scrap papers, random surprises, etc). Please do this to insure you get the rating due to you. It may seem to you that it would be obvious, but that may not be the case on my end, Thank you!:)

If for some reason you do not receive a swap from me please contact me before rating. I will be happy to replace any swaps if they don't turn up .. but I promise you that I will fulfill all my swaps owed .

If you're going to be late, please just let me know and I will do the same. Also if I haven't rated you for a swap that you have sent.. again let me know so I will know to rate you.

My name is Ria Cabral, but everyone either calls me RC or Ree. I'm twenty-five years old, female and a student with Devry university working towards a Technical Management Degree in Criminal Justice. I'm interested in a career after graduation as a crime scene investigator or any type of work with Travel and Law Enforcement.

I am married to my husband and best friend Michael who is in the United States airforce. We move around with his job. We have 3 children.

The book will be a delightful showcase of exciting and contemporary mailart envelopes and postcards , with examples that feature a wide array of techniques And materials used , including: sewing, stencils and stamping, drawing, painting and most of all Garbage art from recycled materials.
