This is the time of year when returning flakers show up - often with new profiles. We always see an increase in their return in September, October, and November. Many of them have learned to get an early start on establishing a "legitimate" profile before the big holiday package swaps get started. They join a bunch of Type 1 and 2 swaps in the fall, get some good ratings, and then go flakey on the Christmas swaps.
Hosts would be wise to carefully check new profiles, and consider limiting package swaps or high dollar gift swaps to swappers with 20 or more Type 3 ratings.
Swappers should be careful about joining Christmas swaps with no rating requirement and of course always check your host's ratings, too.
The mail in my area has been unusually slow for some reason. If you don't get something from me by the due date please let me know asap.
@satinification has taken over the pass it on sticker notecard swap. Please see her profile to join.
Hi, my name is Flo, I live in the U.S., in Virginia, very close to Washington, DC. I am retired and live alone with 4 cats. Yes, I guess I am the typical crazy cat lady lol.

Music: I like old-school pop music and country from the 1970's and '80s.
Books: Love anything from the horror genre, Stephen King, Edgar Allen Poe, HP Lovecraft, and Shirley Jackson.
I like to watch historical documentaries. Anything involving ancient Rome, Egypt, China, etc. I find fascinating. I also watch a lot of real life crime shows particularly those on Investigation Discovery. I am also an X-Files and MST3K fan.

Thank you for the super cute deer you drew me for the "Draw Me a . . . Tag" in the PF! IDK how you drew it on tissue paper! That must have been very difficult. I love it! (and the little pandas on it's back!)
Hi Flo! Thank you for angeling the Getting To Know You Letter Newbie Friendly INTL 2 Swap. I enjoyed reading your responses to the questions, and also thank you for the Virginia postcard as well. My boyfriend and I is trying to plan a vacation before the year ends, and Washington D.C. is one we have in mind so we can visit the museums there but we are scared about the weather and how cold it'll be in November, lol. >.>
Thanks so much for the very dapper otter that you made for the draw me a...tag game. He's adorable, and you are talented :-)

Wow. I just got your RAK yesterday and I just wanted to say tysm. I feel SO blessed to have received the box of goodies. My foster cat Clarice went nuts! She was a street rescue and I haven't had the chance to give her catnip. I think it was her first time. She went nuts. I took a thank you video for you of her using it for the 1st time. Message me so I could send you it. Thank you SO much again. ๐
