Pinky Promise

Aaaaahhhhhhh...more than a little distressed at the moment, I have had quite a few of my cards / swaps returned to me. Aussie Post has a special rate for Christmas mail, which of course I took advantage of. In the mean time we have had rolling postal strikes in the week leading up to Christmas, and subsequently some of my swaps have been returned to me with incorrect postage. I am in the process of re-posting ALL of the swaps I was involved in before Christmas, and have included extra bits and pieces to make up for the late delivery, apologies, and hoping people will understand, I hate this, so sorry :(

I promise to always post my swaps on time. If you haven't received something I have posted, please let me know and I will happily resend :)

I won't mark things posted unless I have physically put them in the mailbox.

I promise to rate all the swaps I get, and I love giving hearts :)

About Me

I am 38, married and a Mum to three sons 18, 15 and 10. We have just had a greenchange and moved onto a few acres, so I'm flying blind, but learning lots about fruit trees, snakes and rats!

I am a youth worker and absolutely love my job. I get to work with some of the most fabulously wonderful young people in the world :)

Favorite Crafts

I love scrapping, but mainly mini albums and off the page stuff for friends and family. I also like making cards, but find it hard to give them away once they are done!

I have been beading for nearly 15 years and used to own a bead shop. I love making things for friends and family, and mainly work with gemstones, crystals and SSilver now.

I also teach beading to young people at risk and get such a buzz out of seeing them make cool stuff.

Favourite Swaps

I am addicted to swapping postcards, my youngest son Josh and I get such a buzz out of getting new postcards, especially from overseas. We try to find pretty Aussie postcards to send to our swapees.

We especially love postcards that are funny, have native animals or flora on them, or have that cool factor that 10 year olds love!

A few of my favourite things

  • Johnny Depp

  • Scrapbooking stickers or embellishments, especially clear stamps.

  • Quality handmade things, I always put a lot of thought into anything I make to send and appreciate the same :)

  • Quotes, especially inspiring or funny ones.

  • Poems, the quirkier, funnier or more inspiring the better.

  • Happy thoughts...put some lurve into your swaps :)

Comment: Have never received anything for this swap. You sent me an email about lateness on a different swap, but did not respond when I mentioned I had not received this one. You have also not been online for a long time. I will happily re-rate if anything is received.

Hello--I haven't yet received the Mini Zine of Craftiness #2. I've tried to message you both through your email address and here on Swap-bot with no luck. I'd appreciate it very much if you would contact me. Thanks!

renees on Oct 12, 2009:

hello! I haven't received a postcard for the 090909 swap, do you think it's still on it's way or has it gotten lost? I'm not sure how long post from Australia usually takes, Just wanted to let you know I haven't gotten it yet

Fairy20tails on May 13, 2009:

Hi there; I sent you a couple of messages about your secret postcard, but they haven't been read. Just thought I'd try one more time. It's about another project I'm working on that might interest you. M

Hi Josh!

Thank you for sending me the cool postcard! I really like it!

Your Friend, Tristan

Hello there. I want you to know that your frog postcard swap is on it's way to you. I had heaps of fun with this swap and I hope you will like the postcard that I sent you. Take care and best wishes. Ria

ps: I have a good friend that lives in NSW. Small world. Have you heard of or know where Matraville is ?

HA!!! A frog on your lettuce.... that would be quite a shocker! I can see it play out in my mind's eye :)

TryshaH81 on Nov 14, 2008:

Hi! I have you for a Postcard swap and I was trying to see what type you like. Can you list some likes and dislikes so I will know what to send? I wouldn't want to send something you wouldn't like! Thanks

Awww, c'mon! Tell us something about yourself! You need a nice full profile on this side of the internet :P
