I'm going to be out of town February 10th and will be checking my postal mail again on February 13th. Please be patient as I won't be rating until the 14th and I actually have time to go through and open everything! :)

I'm actually looking for pen-pals! I'd prefer female and between 30 to 45 but of course I'll talk to anyone! I'm just trying to meet some new people. Just drop me a message or just send a letter. (I have arthritis, sometimes I'll have to type a letter rather than hand write. This is a problem for some so I'm just putting it out there)

Please scroll down for a list of things that I have to swap. Low end to high end! :)

My name is Rachel and I'm a military wife. I was born and raised on the East Coast so being out here in Phoenix is different but I love it. We plan on staying here when he gets out of the Air Force!

I have a husband whom I love with all of my heart, 2 cats and 2 dogs who are smaller than the cats. I'd have more pets but the husband said I could have 3 animals tops. (I snuck one home!)

I don't work. I'm severely disabled. I have lupus and a pretty bad case of fibromyalgia and a few other things.

I do have children (almost grown - 19 and 17) but not with my current husband. (We just have the fur-babies).

I love to meet new people. Since I don't get out much I know almost no one in Phoenix and we've lived here for 8 years. I meet 99.9% of all my friends on line and thanks to Facebook and sites like Swap-bot I've met tons of great people.

Last and certainly not least, I am a Christian. I promise I won't shove it in your face. Please, do NOT confuse this with "in your face, preaching, Deliverance style Christian. I'm VERY open-minded and VERY hard to offend but I won't send Christian anything unless you specifically ask for it. That being said, if you do run across it or someone sends it and you don't want it please think of me. I'll take it!!! :)

If you haven't received anything from me PLEASE contact me right away and I'll make it right. I've been lucky so far to not have anything lost in the mail and I'd like to keep it that way but I know it happens so rather than instantly rating me a 1 or a 3 just contact me, I WILL answer back and I WILL fix it! :)

If you haven't been rated it's 99.9% because I didn't receive it. I HATE rating 1 or 3. Sometimes, I won't rate because I feel the package didn't meet my expectations (swap rules) and rather than bad rate I just won't rate at all. Some people agree with this and some people don't. If you haven't been rated within a reasonable amount of time just contact me and ask me why.

I spend a lot of time making sure my items are packed properly. I probably over package but lately I've been getting things shoved in a paper envelope that just shouldn't have been (keychains) and they're arriving in ripped envelopes that the post office has put in a plastic bag for me. I'm not sure if I even got everything that was supposed to be in it. So PLEASE package your items properly. A properly wrapped package usually costs less than a $1 more to ship and to me it's worth it to spend an extra .75 to make sure my partner doesn't get damaged goods. :)

I try and angel all my swaps. Sometimes the swaps are high dollar and I just can't afford to do it so unless the swap specifically says "I can't angel" just assume that I will. On the swaps I won't angel I'm VERY picky about who I let in.

Swap-Bot to me is about meeting new people and having fun so I like to keep it that way!! :D

For the most part I'm no longer participating in public swaps. If you're interested in a personal swap or joining the groups I swap in please drop me a message. I'm just tired of getting flaked on. I'm also tired of putting in quite a bit of money for sending out NICE swaps and getting back people's leftovers and garbage. So, PLEASE feel free to contact me for a private swap.

Thanks! Rachel

If you are running a swap (or in one) that you think I'll love then send me a message! It seems like I always miss the good ones. I looooove random item swaps and $1 swaps too!

This is a short list in my opinion.

• while I love stickers I don't care for teachers stickers or holiday stickers (unless it's snowmen or signed up for a holiday swap). I am also NOT a fan of Disney/childish stickers unless it's Kawaii.

• I love tea but PLEASE no Green Teas, Earl Grays or Chai. I have TONS of it. No loose tea either, please. :)

• No Halloween or Christmas items. I don't decorate for Halloween, just Autumn (I can leave it up longer LOL) and I'm overwhelmed with Christmas items (UNLESS It's a snowman, i'll make room for a snowman!)

• I.HATE.CLOWNS!!! They terrify me, I can handle almost anything but please do NOT send me a clown. Thanks!

• I HATE the smell of Patchouli and also Rose. Well, fresh roses are nice but when they try and bottle it up it just stinks. Please don't send these! :)
