ABOUT MY 1's: I do have two 1's. One of them was just because something got lost in the mail (if you look you will see all my other partners for that swap gave me 5's) and one is because I've been having a lot of mental health issues this past year and got very behind on some things. I offered to send replacements for both of these (admittedly some time after the swap dates) but my partners didn't agree to it. I'm able to be keeping up with things much better now and you will see that the vast majority of my ratings are 5's. ABOUT RATINGS: You'll see some comments about me not leaving ratings as well--sometimes I just get scattered and out of it and get a little behind, but I do rate every swap I receive even if I'm a little late with it. I'm now caught up on all those ratings and I've worked out a system to make me more on top of it, and I definitely realize it's important to do. ABOUT ATCs: I have gotten some lower ratings on ATCs--I have just started making them and am still definitely figuring out what I'm doing, and I'm not exactly a great artist so it's harder for me sometimes, but I think as I'm getting more comfortable with it and learning more about it they're getting better (I hope!) and I think my ratings should be reflecting that.
Hello! I'm originally from Houston, Texas but I live in Seattle now with my boyfriend and our kitty. I write poetry and fiction and I have two zines. I do a lot of photography and am randomly crafty. I graduated from Smith College in May 2008 with a degree in English and a minor in Psychology. I have way too many books and I'm always trying to learn new things. I am Wiccan, vegetarian, and liberal but I try to have respect for everyone's beliefs so long as they do the same. I plan to eventually hopefully be a full-time writer and stay-at-home mom.

Hi there. I see from your profile that you are online and I was just hoping you could take a minute or two to rate me for both the Autumn swap and the Halloween goodie bad swap?? Thank you!!!!!!
I hate to have to continue to ask you to rate me for the ATC Basset Hound I sent you but it seems that you don't respond to either my PMs or comments I have made, which is really very rude of you. I note that you have been on-site so you really don't have an excuse but I do wonder how would feel if it happened to you. . .don't you think the person is rude for not taking 1 minute to rate your work after you have spent a good deal of time making the ATC?
Hi there. Just checking to see if you recieved your Autumn swap package from me??? Please let me know if you have not recieved it yet. Thanks.
Me again. . .I hate to be a pest about my rating but it is the only way swappers know that what they sent was received. I have sent a PM and commented previously and note that you have been on site so would appreciate it if you would take a minute and rate the Basset Hound ATC I sent you under the Dog ATC Series. Thanks ~~
hey did you ever recieve my handmade postcard? if so pls rate me... if not let me know so i can send another...thnks xoxo
I've PM'd you about the Basset Hound ATC I made for you and mailed on September 14 from my local post office. . . did you get it? If so, please rate me. . . if you didn't get it, please let me know so I can make another and send to you. Thanks. . . hope everything is OK with you.
Thanks so much for rating. Glad my zine made it to you. Hope everything is OK. take care
hey! check out my Pride swap at: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/37887
Cheers Queers!
Me again. Really hate to be a pest but I still haven't been rated for the zine swap. I sent 4/15 and they should have gotten there by now. I PM'd you earlier (4/26) but haven't heard back from you. Please let me know if they arrived and please rate me so I can close this swap out. thanks so much
