I have a few things up for trade on my flickr. If you're interested, send me a pm!!

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

Please send a pm before rating a negative, I send everything out and would really love to know my swap hasn't reached you yet! I take pride in putting together awesome packages or awesome crafts so my partner can enjoy them. I would really like to know if it hasn't reached you!

If you send me extras, PLEASE PLEASE do not send me any kind of patterned scrapbook paper, I have plenty that I need to use up myself. Save it for someone else! Thank you!

After being flaked on too many high dollar swaps, I will only be doing these in private swaps with people I know. So if you're interested in a private swap with me, please let me know. Even for groups, I'll only be doing lower value/craft swaps from now on.

I AM DEALTHY ALLERGIC TO COCONUT AND MUSHROOM This says it down below too where it originally was...

I ALWAYS Rate when I receive something!! If I haven't rated you yet, it means I haven't received it! Please do not send me a message asking to rate you, I will as soon as the swap is in my hands!! If you feel it's been a while and the swap should have arrived (more than 2 weeks for US and more than a month for international is normally the way it goes), then by all means, send me a pm!

About my user name: I come home from work one day and see these little bits of colorful paper and pieces in my carpet, so I follow the string of mess. And what to my surprise!! My cats are sitting there, chewing up a box of crayons!!

If you flake in my swaps or on me, you will be remembered and I will post your name on every group and bad swapping forum there ever is out there. You. Won't. Like. Me.

Please do not send me anything relating to politics or religions. While I am open-minded about religions I have my own beliefs. I don't care for people who try to push their religion onto you, turns me off of it and that person.

Cliques - Don't you hate them and half the people in them!?!? (which this could account for a few groups I've run into here)!

I am fairly easy to get along with and put a lot into my swaps. I don't flake and never have any intention of flaking.

Please Note: I do not give hearts for extras alone. I give hearts for the swap itself and if you put a lot of time into it and made it special. Hearts are up to the receiver to give. But if it shows you put your all into a swap and made it special for me, then I normally give a heart. :)

To all you dramallama's, you can kiss my ass.

For those that claim to be my friend, yet go behind my back and talk trash, I do not need you and please stop pretending. In the end, it makes you look bad, and it hurts me. So thanks for that. You do not know me, you do not know how I am, do not make assumptions. I've always been there for other people on here and I appreciate those who are truly and honestly sincere. So thank you to those who were honestly sincere to me. I appreciate that and your thoughts.

People who have flaked on me: (I would appreciate it so much if you angel for me OR I can set up a private swap for an angel of mine and I can angel one of yours you've been flaked on, so we both get something!!)
