June 4th: Hello everyone, I have been terribly busy with healing on my foot that I had surgery on as well as working on sumner plans. As a result, I haven't been able to log on here as often as usual. I logged on for a bit today to check messages and reply to a few. Tomorrow, I will start on the ratings I owe people. This should be finished by this Saturday. Next week, I will begin replying to all my own ratings. Thank you for understanding.

I will NEVER just not rate.

. It is much easier for me this way.

I will send out a PM before I rate a 1 or 3 to try to give the other person a chance to correct the situation.

I do appreciate a little note with my swaps that lets me know what swap it is so I can properly rate you. But, if you forget to include a note & seal the package, then just write the swap on the box/package. Thank you so much!

I try to always reply to ratings I receive to let you know I saw it and I always leave a little note with the ratings I leave. It's just an extra nice gesture and makes it seem more personal.

If you feel you have to rate me anything but a 5, I would like a PM sent first, please. That way I can try to fix the problem. I am very much willing to make things right and work with you if there is a problem. If I have to re-send, I will be more then happy to do so for you.

I send everything out within a week of receiving swap partners.

I will do my best to try to send stuff out that meets the swap requirements and I enjoy sending extras!

I will try to include a little note with every swap, but I do forget and end up sealing the package before I have included a note for the type of swap it is. I have begun writing the swap title on the outside of the box (why didn't I think of this sooner?) when this occurs.

I don't care what you send me really. I'm not picky. When I get stuff I don't want, I usually re-swap it in a later swap.

I do re-use packaging materials, envelopes, boxes, and other things.

I also am not a hoarder and do not believe in keeping things that I will not use. Things that will not fit my decor or fashion or crafting in some way will be re-sent. I will do my best not to send something out to someone who has sent it to me.

Miss Minchin: Don't tell me you still fancy yourself a princess? Child, look around you! Or better yet, look in the mirror.

Sara Crewe: I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young. They're still princesses. All of us. Didn't your father ever tell you that? Didn't he?
