I believe ratings are important so I try to rate as soon as I receive. If you think it has taken too long I don't mind if you jog my memory with a gentle reminder . ◕‿◕
I give lots of hearts but not just because of the extras. I believe the effort should be in the swap item . I appreciate something extra you think I can use but it does not automatically earn you a heart. When I send extras myself, I do it in the hope of making my partner smile, regardless of possible hearts.

Also please message me if you don't receive expected mail from me. While most of what I send arrives in 10-14 days, International mail can have many holdups along the way and more time is sometimes needed if those snails are taking the scenic route.

When posting to me please don't mail put my user name on the outside. Thank you.

MY UNFAVOURITES

Please don't put my username and swapbot information on the outside of envelopes and packages.
I would prefer not to receive.....

→ Halloween items

→ Skin products & strong perfumes... I have skin allergies .

.. Snowmen

→ Clowns

Any thing romantic but not erotic that takes me away to foreign places .

A lot of my collected books are Historical & Geographical as well as craft.

Would rather spend time crafting than watching TV ! *

CRAFTS

I have dabbled in most things. Right now I enjoy scrapbooking , watercolour painting, handmade postcards, chunky and not so chunky pages , making altered books, experimenting with plastic shrinkies .

I knit and sew and enjoy using felt.

I have a large collection of craft books and I would like to work my way through all of the great ideas but alas there are just so few craft hours available in any day .
