TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND PARTNERS : I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET ONLINE AND WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR NOT KEEPING IN TOUCH. I AM 8 MONTHS PREGNANT WITH BABY NUMBER 2 ( it's another boy!) AND HAVE BEEN HAVING A VERY ROUGH TIME PHYSICALLY AND FINANCIALLY. WE HAVE BEEN MAKING MANY ADJUSTMENTS AND HUBBY HAS AN INTERVIEW BACK IN OUR HOMETOWN OF BUFFALO AT A GREAT COMPANY SET FOR THIS MONDAY SO HOPEFULLY HE WILL GET IT AND THINGS WILL TURN AROUND. I WILL TRY TO RESPOND TO AS MANY MESSAGES AS I CAN AT A TIME BUT FOR SOME REASON BEING ON THE COMPUTER MAKES ME VERY ILL WITH MIGRAINES AND NAUSEA SO I WILL DO MY BEST. MUCH LOVE TO EVERYONE!!!!

To all of you wonderful people that sent my Grandmother cards , handmade things, tea and other special goodies...THANK YOU!! You are all SO very amazing and have made my grandmother and I very very happy. I honestly and truely love you all for being so kind to Grandma!

I try to keep very good track of all of my swaps/tags and will ALWAYS send them and on time @ that so if you are ever missing a swap from me or a tag or even if I never rated you or said thank you for something that you have sent then PLEASE let me know! I will be more than happy to re-send , rate or whatever it is that needs to be done. Communication is VERY important to me when doing swaps! Please don't take advantage of my kindness though

My name is Amanda and I am a 23 y.o SAHM. I recently had my first child, a baby boy, Brendon! I have been swapping things for years through the mail but am new to Swap-bot. I have several penpals from all over the world and really enjoy it. I am addicted to mail/penpals/swapping. I am not a very artistic person but I am learning and this site has really made me want to learn about all of the neat things that everyone is making! My husband does not participate in holidays ( only anniversaries and special days that I have made up throughout the year) so please NO holiday related things unless I sign up for a specific swap that would involve them. Thanks for understanding. I am a very loving person and very giving..although push the wrong buttons and you will not like me very much.lol.
