JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS!!! I always send my swaps! Usually the day after partners are given out. So please message me if you are worried and BEFORE you give me a bad rating, if need be I will re-ship as quickly as possible! THANKS!

NEED AN ANGEL? I am also part of an Angels group, so if you or someone you know needs a swap Angeled, Let me know and I will find someone if I can't do it myself!

The Following is a list of people that I have Angeled for:

@bookwyrmm for her Rainbow Scavenger Hunt

@weeatcrayons for her Kawaii Penpals Swap

I am also the founder for I HEART SEXY MAIL, feel free to take a look and join! Its a lot of fun discussions and swaps!

About my rating: I rate people based on how much effort they put into their swaps, not how much I like what they sent. I give out hearts if I am blown away by the package, if I know you put in that extra effort or if by chance it hits a bulls eye on my profile target board! I also do not give out bad ratings without trying to contact you first. As I would expect any one else to do, because normally there is a reason for it being late or not sent. So please do have some understanding, not just with me, but others as well.

In Other News!

March 1st/2010 Update Okay, this small update is just going to be me ranting a little bit: OKAY, I know that over all, its the person receiving that decides whether you get a heart♥ or not. But seriously, is it THAT HARD to give one? When people give their best work, and put their hearts into the package, looking at their partner's Profile, making sure that they would like what they send. Trying to make it as "profile oriented" as possible, and STILL have their partner give a plain 5? Really? Can you not see that they have really tried to do good to you?? Its not about what was sent, its about effort, and trying to make your partner feel special. Going that little extra distance, to make your package stand out. Honestly, I think I do that with almost everything I send out. But yet, people just cannot bring themselves to click that "Give a Heart" button...

Feb.20/2010 Update Apparently I have been named the Winner for the A - Z Animal List Challenge! YAY! lol, I honestly thought I would not win. Tee hee, at least now I will get to see what an ATC looks like. Thankyou to @TheCrayonguru for making me my prize! I also got the Job I went for today, and I start that tomorrow, so I may not be online as much as I would like to be. BUT that does not mean in any way that I will be late or absent in my swaps! So not to worry folks! ♥

Lesse...Alittle about myself... My full name is Rachel Lydia Diane Fancy, and I am 22 years old. I have been swapping/pen-paling since I was about 10 years old. Career wise, I am a Sous Chef for one Local Business and I also have a new Job as a Line Cook. I have been through Culinary School and all that jazz and have been baking/cooking since I was 6 years old. Come on now, who HASN'T baked cookies with Mom or Grama? lol. I LOVE TO SWAP~and to make new friends around the world, its one of the things that keeps me from going nuts all the time. I have pals all through the USA as well as in Poland and Russia, and hopefully Japan soon too. I am an avid Deco maker, and play almost all of the games that get sent my way. I am also looking for some hardcore swappers, to send my gazillion FBs/X-slips/Slams/Decos to, lol.

I am allergic to Pineapple, Eggplant, Rasins, Walnuts, Grapes and most metals. But not so much that I would puff up and die suddenly. So sadly I cannot wear much of anything for jewelery. The only thing I wear is a jade pendant on a fabric cord. I cant even wear Gold earrings, it sucks...>.< I have been with my Boyfriend Scott for almost 3 years now, and have plans to get engaged in the near Future. I have also been part of the Weight Watchers program going on 9 months now, trying to loose a few pounds and change my lifestyle for the better. Anyways, that me in a nutshell.

As of this moment in time, there are quite afew different TV shows that I am into right now. I live in Canada, and so really all the shows that I love to watch are on CTV, lol. Criminal Minds and CSI NY are the top ones, and i follow them religiously. Charmed is also one of my top 5 favs in the world, I have been watching the series from beginning to end for the fourth time now. I own all 8 seasons on DVD. My interests really when it comes to TV are Crime Dramas, Medical Dramas and supernatural stuff, like witches and ghosts and such. I really like Ghost Whisperer, EastWick and House.

My taste in movies is similar to that of my TV tastes, Crime Dramas, Supernatural etc... But most of all ANYTHING that stars Robin Williams as an actor or a voice. He is my fav Actor in the whole Entire world! I even got to meet him last year, when he came to do a show in Vancouver! I am a huge Harry Potter fan, and really enjoy Twilight. And I also have a weakness for Nicholas Cage, lol. Any movie based on a Comic book, I probably own. And my Robin Williams Collection has gotten to almost 40 DVDs. Including the first Season of Mork and Mindy, tee hee!

Okay, other than the movies and TV shows that I mentioned earlier, I am really into: Scrapbooking, Penpals, Crafting, Some cross-stitch, Scooby-Doo, Baking, Cooking, Swapping, Card-Making, Post Cards, BINGO, Anime, Harry Potter, Animals, Chocolate!, Loose Leaf Teas!, (Just no ginger, licorice or lemon) DISNEY, charity/missions work, yahtzee, Kernels Popcorn!, wicca, Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, rainbows, fantasy creatures, fav colours are green, silver, blue, red and black, board games, card games. (I know those last two were rather general, but thats how wide my spectrum is for games, lol, some close friends own a game store...)

What I CANT STAND...?: Men who talk down to their wives or girlfriends, the colour PINK, People who think that they are better than others just because of who their friends are, People who try and push their beliefs on others, Spongebob squarepants, wrestling, most sports on TV (minus NFL football), spiders, and teeny tiny things that crawl...

Well, I hope that gives everyone a good general idea about me! Happy Swapping!

The Dollar Store, I have to say, is my biggest weakness....I go nuts in there when I shop, because I get so many new ideas running through my brain about things I can make for Swap-Bot!

The crafts I especially enjoy are Scrapbooking, making Decos/Slams and Handmade Greeting Cards. I have been thinking about making my Scrapbooking a small business, I have already had 3 different people ask to pay me for my work, after they had seen things that I have done previously. But that Idea still hasn't made it of the ground yet.

I have recently gotten into making APC's, so I will see how that goes for me. I have been interested in trying my hand at making an ATC, but I don't know anything about them really, and they sound more like business cards for artists rather than crafts.

Well, I have been recently informed that I should make a wish list, so here it is, lol :

-Rubber Stamps for making Birthday themed Cards

-Glitter Card Stock, really any colours

-Specialty Teas, Loose Leaf or Bagged!

-Cute stationary/Letter Sets

-Sticky Address Labels (with my addy on them)

-Asian Stationary packs, I have been recently told that these are called Kawaii letter sets and I sadly have not been able to find many more out my way. (Automatic Heart for Kawaii stuff!!!)

-Slams & Decos!

-Collectors Stamps

-Funky Textured Card Stock

-Fabric Ribbons

-Thin Lace

-Blank Note cards (Really any design, just NO PINK)

-Funny Blank Birthday cards

-Bingo Daubers

-Scrapbooking Supplies

-Ric-Rac

-GOOD Chocolate (no dark or fruit filled though, BFs allergic)

-Gel Pens

-Fridge Magnets with Funny sayings

-And to all those wonderful cooks out there, I have been trying to find a GOOD Thai Peanut sauce recipe

I am sure more will be added at later dates, but I hope this is enough to give people some good ideas ^^
