I'm celebrating 10 years with swap-bot! Woohoo!
I have a snail mail group on Facebook called Snail Mail Joy. We have Swaps/Wishes/Tags/Wacky Wednesday/RAKS/Fun Friday Giveaways and more! (link at the top of my profile)
Looking for good swappers who enjoy snail mail. If you want to join, please send me a message via swap-bot letting me know you have requested to join. I know most of you by your swap-bot name, so I may not recognize your first/last name on Facebook.
If you have low ratings or you're listed on a flaker list on swap-bot or a blacklist on Facebook don't ask to join. I research before I accept any new members!
I love snail mail! I'm known as @grammypammy here! I've been in swapping groups since 2008. I follow through with all my swaps and I don't send junk. I've never been listed on a bad swappers list.
I run a group of my own on Swap-bot and I like to be active in groups that I've joined.
I also run a snail mail Facebook group, find the link at the top of my Profile.
I send out a lot of snail mail each month!
I also recycle a lot of my swap stuff and if I can't use it in a craft or for personal use, I will send it to another partner. I don't want to offend anyone, but I know that most swappers do this and I don't mind when it happens to me.
I'm married and have 4 adult children and 3 grandchildren. My husband retired from the military in 2019 and I'm a retired teacher, but we are busy even in our retirement years.
My furbabies are a male Shih-Tzu mix named Jasper and 2 guinea pigs names Homer & Marge.
I'm a Christian and active in my church. I volunteer in our Kid's Church. My husband and I are both active in church ministries and my husband has a street ministry where he goes and feeds the homeless once a week and we also supply clothing and sleeping bags to those in need.
I'm also a consultant w/Scentsy! Please see my link above if you're interested.
My all time Favorite Cartoon is The Flintstones. The first episode was aired on the day I was born and I didn't find that out until I was older but I had always loved the show so I thought that was pretty cool to find out.
I also like: The Jetsons, Scooby-Doo, Smurfs, Belle, Hello Kitty, and most Disney characters.
I enjoy watching musicals, comedies, romantic comedies, drama. I watch OP Live, Cops, Law & Order SVU, CSI, NCIS, Unsolved Mysteries, Forensic Files and all 2 Chicago shows. I also enjoy watching Flea Market Flip, Baking/Cooking Competitions, Tiny House shows, Buying Houses/Homes in various states/countries.
I enjoy reading and read mostly Christian Fiction. I also like devotionals or inspirational stories. I have found that I also like listening to faith based podcasts.
I like to play games on my iPad. My current favorite one is Happy Color, it's so relaxing! I enjoy strategy or brain working games, and time management games.
I also love books that are easy crossword puzzles, Sudoku, word search and fill-it-in puzzles.
I love paper crafts like ATC's, handmade envelope making, mini pocket letters, making bookmarks, altered paper clips/binder clips, card making. I love to learn new types of crafts too, but I don't usually try to create them if there are too many steps because for some reason, they never turn out the same as the picture.

💖Thank you for the June Wonderful Wishes - oh-so cute doxies!! Love the clear with tulip sleeves and more!
Thank you for the WW June happy mail. I hope you are doing well.
Thank you for the April Rak #6 that I just received in the mail! It is odd but I received last week, mail from April postmark in swaps as well. I wonder if the local post office had a bin of mail from April sitting somewhere. Anyway, thanks so much! It was a great surprise!
