About Me

UPDATE JUNE 5, 2010 ~ Sorry for not logging in but we had a death in the family and the entire week since our return has been devoted to arrangements and the funeral itself. And as if the loss isn't enough, I have also just learned my own father has stage 3B lung cancer. Dealing with everything all at once has left me feeling down as expected and I just need some time to get back into the "norm" of things - if there is such a thing!

As my rating reflect, I have been a loyal and honest swapper to date. I have no intentions of flaking on anyone. I am just asking for a bit of time to feel happy again to work on swapping. Thank you so much for your understanding and I PROMISE PROMISE everything will go out as soon as my life stabilizes.

(Hugs) xoxo ♥

IMPORTANT: I HAVE TO GO OUT OF TOWN UNTIL MAY 31st....something has come up unexpectedly and as a result I will not be able to check in until then. Everything due between now and then will be sent shortly after I return and I will rate everyone upon my return - my apologies to those few swaps due in this time period. Thanks for your understanding xoxo ♥

As my ratings reflect, I take my swapping seriously! Nothing makes me happier than sending things to others in hopes of brightening up their day! I have sadly had two packages go missing thus far and (crossing fingers) out of over 250 letters and packages sent that's a pretty good ratio I think. I have been pretty lucky so far. In the event you don't receive something from me in a reasonable time, please message me and I will send another one out right away. Sometimes the mail sent out of Canada is ridiculously slow though so please be a bit patient!!

I'm a happily married career mom to two wonderful teenagers. I started swapping when I was 13 years old. I remember stalking the mailman everyday waiting for those fun envelopes and packages to arrive and being disappointed when a day went by without mail! I think once you become addicted to mail, you can never stop stalking the mailperson!! ( grin )

Favorite Music

I am a total 80s hair metal band girl! Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, Vain, Hanoi Rocks to name a few bands I love. Part of the fun of swapping back when I was a teen was the fun address labels we used for our friendship books and slams!! I also love♥ alternative rock like Nine Inch Nails, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots and Red Hot Chili Peppers. My son is actually named Trent after Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails! I do like dance and pop music when it has a good beat and catches my attention...right now I go gaga over Lady Gaga...and I have a secret music stash on my ipod for techno and rave music when running, it is a huge motivator!

Favorite Television

Self confessed reality tv show junkie here!! The Amazing Race, Survivor, Big Brother, America's Next Top Model...etc...etc...! I also love true crime shows and any CSI show. I used to love watching this tv show called "Creepy Canada" about haunted sites across Canada but I think they cancelled it - I can't find it anymore. Oh and I have been watching The Young and the Restless for about 22 years now it seems - man that makes me sound old hee hee

Hobbies

I love love love to travel. Luckily, I have the means to take a couple vacations a year. I love photography and am never without my camera - you never know when a kodak moment will arise!

I also love to run- sounds strange to say it but I do! Last year I ran my first half marathon in Las Vegas and cant wait to do it again next year!!

I also play pool (8 ball) and have won three trips with my team to play in the National Championships in Las Vegas. The last few years, I have also taken up golfing. I am slowly getting better but it's definitely a sport testing my patience to learn lol.

Comment: thank you so much for my goodies!, I love everything. Funny you should send the tape ( was fine). The night before I received it I was thinking about scrapbooking and I should try to do it, I will definately do it now - I have double sided tape but no photo safe and Acid free!! I received this 3 days ago, but have not had access to a computer till today. Thanks again! Linda

Comment: an envelope of corey goodness showed up today FINALLY! i can't believe the post office lost the stamp, lol. anyways, i have added your atc's to my collection and love them all. i also REALLY REALLY love the address labels and the "swap by" stickers too. thank you very much for everything. i hope we get to swap again soon too! :)
Response: that's the third time an envelope came back to me without postage on it when I know i paid for it at the post office!! i don't think they lost the stamp, i think that the people take all the items i send, weighed them, put them on the counter behind them and then forget to put the stamps on before filing them in the bins....sigh...people are going to think i am losing it and sending things without stamps lol...anyway glad it all worked out and in the end you got three corey cards instead of just one :D happy to make them for you!!! xoxox ♥

I am so sorry to have to ban you from the Monthly ATC Swappers group but your ratings have fallen to low as group rules states for you to be a member

If I can help you bring your ratings back up I will be glad to angel any atc swaps for you, if you will just let me know...

I know that your going through a tough time right now and that swapbot is the last thing on your mind but I just wanted to let you know that there are many of us on here that are praying for you and your family. Lung cancer is a horrible disease and I hope your father is winning the battle! One day when you do come back these people that have given you 1's will rerate you and all will be good in the swapping world (: Again I am keeping you all in my prayers!

P.S. Thanks for the mailing labels! I didn't have the mail in my hands when I was rating so I wasn't 100% on who sent them. But they are awesome and I didn't have any with my new address yet, so thanks!! :D

Happy Mother's day! Hope you have a fun day!
