Greetings Swappers!

I pledge to send and rate all swaps! If something does not arrive please let me know and give me the option to resend before rating me with a one! I reside in South Africa, so my packages travel a far distance.

a

Receiving a special something in the mail, from another part of the world instantly brightens my day!! I'm sure you know the feeling!?

a

About Me

About me...

I'm a 31-year-old female located in sunny South Africa. I'm a qualified school teacher but have traded my profession to study Psychology.

I'm trying to discover my spiritual path.

a

I'm currently exploring Wicca, but have also taken an interest in Buddhism.

a

I'm interested to learn as much as possible about alternative religions so that I may find a spiritual path to fully commit too. Someone once told me:

"Stand for something, or fall for anything"

and I would like to stand for something rather than to just drift around aimlessly.

I enjoy...

Crafts!

I enjoy all kinds of arts and crafts and have a keen interest in photography. At the moment I'm into paper quilling and crocheting.

This is my latest quilled card:

a

Baking!

I also enjoy cooking and baking and welcome tried and tested recipes from all around the world.

a

Collecting!

a

I've absolutely fallen in love with anything Monster High related. I'm also interested in trading Monster High Photocards (Panini).

a

I also love Lalaloopsy and would appreciate any Lalaloopsy themed crochet/sewing patterns.

a

I also collect new and used postage stamps!

Comment: Oh Tracy, I love the bookmark. Your Rochelle is so pretty. I was so happy to see it as I love Rochelle and her pink hair is so pretty. The extra's are divine and the photo cards are great. It felt so good to add them to my collection.

Comment: Oh Tracy, My mind is blown. I cannot get over everything you sent. I was literally in tears at work. This swap so much more than a swap. You are truly amazing and your work is exceptional. I am not sure what I like the most although I am in awe of my mug rug. I feel sheepish now about what I sent you. As for the birthday present, I am completely floored and my fingers are just itching to peel a little piece of paper off, lol.

Comment: I loved the card in Arfikaans but I'm sad because my envelope had been ripped open and the stamps were missing! I'm gutted! Someone has taken them so I am going to report it to the Post Office. I'm sure I would have loved them if they had made it to me. Sorry to tell you that. Thank you anyway xx
Response: I'm glad you liked the card, but I'm very sorry to hear that someone took the stamps :-( I'll be happy to send you some more stamps if you like?

Having a craft day at home too, if I ever peel myself away from the computer. I have to clean the house first and then reply to your message and then craft for the rest of the day. Yay us!
