I am having a bit of trouble with my pms, both sending and receiving of not getting to where they're supposed to go. If I haven't answered you in a couple of days please pm me again! I don't want anyone to think I'm ignoring you.

• THANK YOU, big thank you to everyone who has wished me well and prayed for me during this time. It means a whole lot to me!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• If you have not received my package yet, PLEASE SEND ME A PM BEFORE YOU RATE ME SO I CAN DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS!!! It's just common courtesy to send a pm before rating. How would you like it if someone didn't pm you first?? I send everything out within a few days of getting swap partners so please do let me know asap if you do not receive so I can fix it! I'm NOT a flaker and would really love the chance to fix the problem!

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 and fighting over certain colors!!

I am the top auto saleswoman in my office (yes I'm bragging!), a wonderful training manager and I have recently relocated here to Texas to train the new employees with our new training program. I am originally from South Dakota and it's much much warmer here in TX!! I travel from Abilene to Dallas to Austin. Any tips on anything to see or do that is a MUST, please please let me know! I know nothing of these towns except for what I've looked up on google but I like to get a people perspective too!

I'm getting really tired andupset of these flakers, I send off hard worked items that I spent a lot of time on and get nothing in return. In just TWO MONTHS I've rated 13 one's out to different people :( And yet I rarely ask for angels. I think I'm just not going to swap many public swaps anymore. I'll host my own but I'm going to be WAY strict on who I let it. Most will end up being private

A note to those who accuse: - I have NEVER and will NEVER pass off anyone's work as my own. Everyone's lovely ATCs I get, either get tacked onto my corkboard frame or turned into magnets to display on my fridge and desk at work. Anything that is posted in my flickr, store, or here is always handmade or sewn or handsewn by myself. I get ideas at stores I visit, etc and always seem to dress up the item a bit more, never do I buy something to try and pass it off on my own. Thanks for the lovely accusations you've made while assuming I do this without first asking me. It turns me off of you and makes me not want to have anything to do with you in the future. If you're always curious about something, ASK and most likely I'll give you a detailed description on how I made it. I don't mind sharing my patterns if you'd like to do it too!
