Apologies and Frustrations

At the beginning of 2012, I had a lot of bad things going on, including illness and depression. Regrettably, because of this, I flaked on several swaps for almost 6 months. :(

In an attempt to make amends, I contacted everyone I flaked on and sent out ALL the swaps I missed. Bless them, most were very gracious and understanding and re-rated me for those swaps.

BUT, I still have two 1's. Two of my partners neither re-rated me, nor responded to my messages to see if they had received what I had sent. Thus my frustration. One of them hasn't been online since July 2012 and so hasn't even read the message I sent.

Please, anyone checking my rating, don't hold those two 1's against me

Favorite Books

When I have time to read, my favorite types of books are Arthurian legend, suspense, and Tom Clancy, of all things.

Favorite Movies

:D I love love love cheesy disaster movies! Especially geology themed ones like Volcano or Dante's Peak, or The Core. I have a degree in geology and am a geologist at heart, and those movies just make me laugh. I'm not limited to geology movies though. The Day After Tomorrow and 2012 were also highly entertaining :D

Favorite Crafts

Unfortunately, I haven't been feeling too crafty lately, unless you count cooking. I cook a lot.

And the occasional knitting.

Wants and likes, etc.

  • anything owl related
  • hydrangeas in any way shape or form
  • notecards
  • geology related post cards... like grand canyon, mt st helens, etc
  • yummy recipes - especially cookies :D
  • postage stamps from ANYWHERE
  • Zentangle

more to come as there's always new things to discover

Pet Hair Warning

I've seen this in other profiles, and I think it's an excellent bit of info to include. I just can't believe it never occurred to me.

If you are allergic to dog or cat hair, I am not a person to swap with.

I try very hard to keep pet hair away from anything I'm sending out, but between 7 cats and 2 dogs, it's near impossible.

Dislikes

There's not much that I dislike so dont' be afraid of sending me something. If it's not something that I want or can use, I'll find it a good home :)

  • For FOOD related swaps, I am ALLERGIC to PEANUTS. That's it.

Comment: I love your T -- it was definitely worth waiting for! I can tell you really put a lot of effort into making it. And don't worry about being late -- I am a pretty patient person, and I do understand quite well about being overwhelmed sometimes. My grandmother used to say "It's a great life if you don't weaken!" Alnd thanks for the tiles blanks and your lovely sample. I have never seen a zentangle tile before, but now I will have to try some. Thanks again, and happy swapping!

Was just wondering if you received my Zentangle L yet? I got a rating for the M already and obviously sent that a week later, both to the USA. Let me know :)
