About Me

I joined swapbot in February 2007 *

On Flickr I am nani_ani

betatester

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.

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 .

Comment: great package!..love all the birds, especially the pelicans!...one of my favorite little poems is.... "A regal bird is the pelican. His bill holds more than his belly can. He can hold in his beak Enough food for a week, But I don't see how the hell he can." Thanks for the stamps and such a fun swap!

What can I say?.. What a special person you are. Thank you so much for the absolutely gorgeous card, scrapping bits and extra gorgeous fantabulous charmed keyring. And mostly you good wishes for our future. I actually shed a tear when I opened this, even the envelope was a bridal one. Oh it was just wonderful, you made my day and Nev said "wow, have you met any of these people?" i say no, they are my swap-bot family. And I love them all Thank you so very very much Anne from Carol and Neville xxxx

astarael on Nov 5, 2008:

Hi Anne, thank you for the gorgeous fabric postcard you sent as a birthday RAK. I've never made a fabric postcard before so yours will be some inspiration for me once I get started. Fabric postcards are one my list of crafts to try haha :-P

Awesome! I got your cute Australia mapcard for the Group 3Ps Postcard Tag. Thanks so much! I loved the card! Hugs, Nurul

MrsRankin on Sep 1, 2008:

I am absolutely speechless! Blown away! Stunned and amazed! Reduced to tears even, at your generosity! I love everything you sent me, even though you didn’t need to send me anything at all! I especially loved the nativity scene, which is amazing! This year will be my first Christmas with Michael, and I was hoping to do some special sewing! And the heart shaped letter set is amazing! Perfect for writing to my beloved! You are such an amazing person! I hope we meet again around Swap Bot!

Thank you so much for the adorable sticky notes you sent for YGM. They're so cute, I'm not sure I can use them!
