About Me

hello all! :-)

2/3/2022 unresolved one (1): during that time and for some months afterwards i was unable to tend to my snail mail responsibilities. i reached out to the person recently and explained and they kindly agreed to let me send the swap to rectify it and change my rating. i have sent out the swap, however, this person hasn't logged on since (jan 12, 2022), so i can't do much about it at this point.

Comment: UPDATE: I received your package! Thank you so much. Sorry for the late rating. I took a long break from swap-bot. ///// Hi Kat. I hope everything is OK on your end. I never received anything and sent you a msg on June 25 about this swap (which ended May 21). If you got overwhelmed by swaps or life just happens, that's AOK. You can send me a message if you ever come back and we can sort this out. For now, I'll rate you a 1 but it can be changed. Anyway, I hope to hear from you. Cheers.
Response: Hi! I'm sorry, I had so much going on and am just getting back into swapping now. What is your address and I'll send you the 3 teas and 20 stickers? Be well, Kat
