Hello! I'm Jessica, 43 years old, & living in California, USA. I'm a witchy goth crazy cat lady who is beyond introverted. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Favorite Colors: black, dark grey, teal (the darker the better), & purple (the darker the better)

Yes, I am pagan. No, that doesn't mean I want to change that fact.

Please don't send me religious items.

Don't be a post mark gatekeeper.

If I am not online for a few days, a few weeks it is more then likely due to my Lupus and/or Rheumatoid Arthritis. Both are 'uncontrolled'. One minute I can be fine, the next I feel like I am going to die or my hands/arms refuse to work.

SUMMER OF DECOS USA SERIES IN CPG
This series will only be running from May 2024 to September 2024!
Each swap will be posted the same day partners go out for the previous swap.
* The first swap of the month will be listed on the1st of the month with sign ups lasting until the 14th of the month, partners out on the 15th of the month, & swap to be sent by the last day of the month.
* The second swap of the month will be listed on the 15th of the month with sign ups lasting until the last day of the month, partners out the 1st of the next month, and swap to be sent out by the 15th of the next month.

You will run the risk of being removed from the group that I host a deco swap in if you do not send your swap. Please send your swap. If you can't contact me AND your partner & we will figure something out. Please COMMUNICATE!

I am a pretty easy going host. I know life gets in the way. That being said - RATE YOUR SWAPS PLEASE! I am not going to chase you down to see if you sent & if you're partner has received. You are an adult & I shouldn't have to treat you like you where a child. If you have issues with your partner read further please.

• CONTACT ME for any reason. I don't care what it is - if you need to contact me then do so.
• Please wait 2 weeks until after the mailing deadline to worry about your swap being received by you or your partner. Mail has been weird in the US since 2016 - even before then.
• If you have tried to get your partner to send to you & they have ignored you, they said they sent but you haven't gotten it, etc contact me about it please! I will help you get your swap somehow.

I could add so many instances where you SHOULD contact me about a swap, but these are the most important ones. I take my job as a hostess seriously; help me to help you if you need/want it.

I know I could have worded this differently. However the word part of my brain isn't working well as usual.
