About Me

11/20/2008 I've had some stuff happen over the last few months that is making me absolutely miserable. I have some stuff ready to go to the post office and I have still not gotten there. Sometimes, it's hard enough to deal with what's happening. I will send it though. I'm still working on 2 things that I need to finish up. I wish my muse would come back.

10/24/2008--Still working on it guys. Thanks for your patience.

10/10/2008---I still have a few things that I want to do in my gluebook. Also, I am down to the outlining in my painting for Angie. I apologize for all the trouble guys.

10/5/2008--I still have a few packages that need to go to the post office. I'm catching up.

I'm leaving Swap-bot. I just have to chose my priorities. I enjoy making people happy and all I seem to do lately is let people down. I would never, ever flake...because I believe it's bad karma...but, I feel terrible about running late...and I don't see being on a regular enough schedule to prevent that again. I apologize to everyone. I will fulfill all of my swap obligations! Don't worry about that. If I owe you a swap, you will get it. If you owe a swap to me, I'm not that worried about it. Any Questions, PM me.

Comment: Thank you so much for the lovely matchboxes & for the fabulous & totally unexpected Burt's Bees goodies... I'm digging the Banana Hand Cream, which I've never tried before. Looking forward to swapping again!
Response: yay! So glad you liked everything! :D Looking forward to our next swap also! A couple of my swaps are heading out the door tomorrow and then I think I'll be all caught up...I don't want to get in over my head! So, I'll PM you when I have things settled. :D yay!

Comment: thank you so much! it's great, and i really appreciate that you re-sent it =)
Response: No problem...this is the first swap that I've had something go missing, and hopefully the last. I had 4 people in the US and 2 internationally...and both the original international ones didn't make it, at least not yet. Hopsefully the originals will show up either at their destinations or back here. Anyway, I'm rambling. So glad you liked it.

Comment: I love the card so much! The letters you used are awesome.
Response: Thank you! I'm glad that you liked it, I know it's not exactly thin and flat like a regular postcard! Those letters came from a game called stack'em or something like that, it's like scrabble but the letters can build on one another.

Comment: Your card totally rocks! I love the image, and the sewn construction, and the mystery box the image was sewn onto... I would definitely like to try out being handmade postcard pen pals. Will get that started as soon as I've made my dinner. Wheeee!
Response: yay! I'm so glad you liked it and that it made it there in one piece. I was a little worried about the postal service ripping it to shreds!

Fall

I received your postcard today. Thanks so much. I know you are having a bit of a struggle, so I appreciate getting it. I really like it. You have a style that is just so appealing to me. Love the pumpkin's crooked, curved nose, striped socks and BIG toothy grin. ...and the scritchy outlining around the pumpkin guy and the black cat.

Yeah, I'm sorry for the problems, too. Can we just start fresh? I tend to let my depression get the best of me sometimes.

Cori!!!!!! WOW! what a trooper, although the YGM got all types of messed up, I thank u for sending me cute lil gnome... I hung it up already! THANKS, and keep an eye out for your kitschy package!
myrrhmaid on Sep 24, 2008:

Wanda on Sep 7, 2008:

Wow, you do have a lot going on! I just stopped by to see if you might be behind, since I haven't gotten your postcard yet.

SMBee on Aug 13, 2008:

Thought you might be interested in my new swap, Kitschy

Check it out. (Hope I posted that right :)
Wanda on Aug 2, 2008:

Ohmygosh - I love your profile and your Flickr photos! Amazing stuff! Would you want to swap a handpainted postcard with me? Artist's choice?

I am so glad that your son is enjoying the things I sent. Honestly, I bought one of the grow toys for myself too. I get a huge kick out of silly useless things that amuse me. :) Also tell your son I like bugs too, that's why I picked it out. Alecia
lilysmom1023 on May 30, 2008:

I sent out your winner takes all package this morning. So sorry it took a little while. Alecia :)
