I will be doing ICAD this year, again. Just decorate an idex card every day for 2 months: https://daisyyellowart.com/vividlife/whatisicad

I work full-time. I am mom to 2 dogs & 1 cat. I grew up in Alaska but have lived in Vegas for over 30 years.

I enjoy hiking, crocheting/knitting, reading, & bowling.

I like reading about what is happening in other peoples' lives. So, if you want, you can include a note or letter about you &/or your life, something you want to get off your chest, a deep realization, or whatever.

I prefer postcards to be sent in an envelope - no matter what the swap says, I will not rate down.

Regarding bookmarks. They don't have to be new. I do not mind if they are used, slightly bent, or written on.

Although not required, if you really want to include extra(s), a factory-sealed tea bag is enough for me.

I appreciate the time and effort anyone puts into what is sent to me. Thank you.

Please include both the swap name & your swap-bot alias, so that I may rate you. Many thanks.

If you're going to be late, please contact me. I am very approachable. I understand things in life happen.

I always rate. If you haven't gotten a rating from me, please message me here on Swap-Bot & I'll take care of it right away.

I never flake. But, I am Christian & believe that Jesus will come to take His people from this earth (called the Rapture) at any time now. So if you don't get a swap from me, either it is lost/delayed in the mail or I've been raptured. Or my cat has tripped me & I'm incapacitated.

I mark "sent" after I either put it in the outgoing mail slot for the community mailbox -or- after I get the correct postage at the Post Office.

When I can, I listen to Christian music & especially Christian sermons. Else I listen to Dwight Yoakam or Jewish music (such as Kol Israel Reshet Bet, with Radio Israel app for Android : https://cutt.ly/radio_israel)

Any teas or coffee in pre-packaged/store-bought wrappers. Even a bag of plain tea is fine for me.

I love art journaling but haven't done much of it.
