About Me

Hello,

I enjoy travelling, penpalling, photography, rubber stamping and card making, walking with my dog, and spending time with my husband.

I love anything to do with gardening. It is therapy. I LOVE coneflowers, roses, and herbs (thyme, lavender, and sage).

My favorite time is Halloween. I think that birthdays are very important.

I swap for fun...

The type of swapper I am

If you do not get my items or it does not seem to fit the swap, please let me know and I will gladly resend

I dislike people that don't rate or won't reply to pm.

When I send something to you, I send quality stuff. I expect the same.

If I do not get your swap item, I will contact you first to give you the opportunity to fix things.

If you send me a pm to let me know you will mail after the deadline, I will rate the swap and not how quick it got here. My life is very busy. I understand that yours can be as well.

I get larger packages weighted at post office. Regular mail is dropped in a box near my home. The mail lady does not always pickup on Friday or Monday so I try to drop the mail at an outlet when time permits. Therefore, the stamp on the envelope does not always reflects when the mail left my hands. With the postal service, I have learned that it is better to be patient!

I often send my swaps on the deadline date. I am naturally slow.

I will give you a heart for work well done and for a complete swap. Little extras are welcome, but sometimes less is better.

What I like

I like rub-ons, notecards, rikrak, rhinestones, lace, pens, postcards, and cute writing paper (lined).

I love nicely stamped images on white/beige cardstock.

I collect Stamps and Postcards: showing nature scene, animals, waterfalls, lighthouses, trees, people, birds, cartoons. I love giraffes, owls, the sea, shells, turtles, whales, sea horses, fishing boats, butterflies, and Bernese Mountain Dogs.

I love the company ZAZZLE.

I am a fan of Ozzy Osborne, Star Trek: Voyager, and Pipi Longstocking (original stuff- not animated).

Flaked by and other troubles

(demismummy) -Flaked me on Address Labels She had a double profile: missamminorth.

(Treksek)-Flaked me on Christmas Decorated Envelope-international

(nachtsonne) - flaked me on my own swap -Book Club-Twisted

Notecard Swap #6 - no rating from @jeanjeanie and all messages to her have been ignored. She is partially suspended.

RESEND to @pimbot ->Happy happy mail teabags #10 -never rated me nor acknowledged she received my swap. I have sent a message to her and it remains unread. No activity on profile since Jan. 15/ 2013.

Prick and Stitch Handmade Card - Easter - no rating from @pandabee PM sent to her without responses - this card took me 5 hours to make.

The type of Host I am

I will angel if you are flaked in my swaps.

I reserve the right to ban a participant that does not meet my requirements. If you do not meet my requirements, I might send you a pm to give you the opportunity to drop from the swap.

I require recent activity on the profile. If you have not been on Swapbot for a long time, please contact me first before joining.

I request well filled profiles. No need to complain or send me nasty PM. If you are taking the fun out of MY swap, you will be banned and blocked.

If you do not like these rules, please create your own swaps!

CAMRYN'S COURAGE POSTCARDS

CAMRYN HUNTER is a tiny little girl who was diagnosed with Acute Myelod Leukemia in 2011. I know about her precious battle because her grandparents are my neighbours and friends.

The cancer is a rare form and the treatments have taken quite a toll on the life of this 5 years old child and her family. She received a bone marrow transplant in early 2012, but it went dormant! She had another transplant in December 2012.

UPDATE as much as we had all hoped Camryn’s battles were behind her, seems it is not so….The recent aspirate results are back and once again her cells have reappeared….she is being admitted to hospital again tonight and they will once again give her father's cells but this time without the immune suppressant drugs in the hopes they will attack these cells that have reappeared. In the meantime they will be looking for an alternate donor in the event that a full bone marrow transplant is needed. Her little brother Calvin will once again be coming to stay at Gramma and Poppy’s during the week.

The project I created for CAMRYN is simple. You can participate by sending a postcard to her. This has to be suitable for a small child. Girly or cute animals would do. You can upcycle a card if you wish (by using the front face only).

At the back of your card write a simple child prayer, a song, a rhyme, a riddle, a child's drawing or a little message to make her smile. No sickness related comments. Let's keep it to the HOPE/ COURAGE theme. When the card will be received, they will be placed in a special box for Camryn. She will be able to keep this with her. Her grandmother is reading the cards to her and her brother.

You can learn more about Camryn on this link. Is has not been updated recently: http://camrynscourage.com/

You can send Camryn a postcard anytime at her grandparents' address:

Camryn Hunter

31 Bedell Crescent, Whitby, Ontario, L1R 2N8 Canada

TO ALL THE CARING SWAPBOT MEMBERS WHOM HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE PROJECT, I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful pictures. I especially loved your tree/sunset one. I also love watching the squirrels. I have never seen a house that had moss growing on the roof. I definitly did not know that your speed signs are read from bottom to top. I've never been to Canada yet, so I'll have to keep that in mind.
