Updated 5/10/21

Please be aware that I am not hosting any swaps this month. I need to catch up on things. I hope everyone understands. I will return to hosting swaps in June. Be well and be safe.

Please be aware that I am no longer doing craft swaps other than the types listed below. Please do not send me any craft supplies; however you can still send me washi tape and stickers which I use to send cards. Thank you!

Happy Spring!

Happy Memorial Day!

Everyone please stay safe during this difficult time.

I will no longer be doing the number of swaps that I used to do. I used to do 20 swaps every month. I have made a decision to cut back on a permanent basis. I'm not getting any younger and cannot do as much as I used to do. I hope everyone understands.

IN REGARD TO SWAPS: If you have a problem with anything that I send you, please contact me before giving me a 3 or a 1. I will be happy to fix the problem and re-send, if necessary. After all, I would give you the same consideration.

I want this to be a happy experience for both of us and as drama free as possible.
