Heirloom

Greetings...I'm on hiatus for now.

So I've "met" some wonderful people here and consider them friends. When swapping, I give hearts for TPG: thoughtfulness (yours), presentation (yours), and giddiness (mine). I don't need extras with swaps since I'm in a constant state of downsizing. Bottom line: I prefer quality over quantity. But if I send you extras, it's because I have something I think you can use (i.e., you're helping me downsize). When hosting, I vet participants and make sure everyone gets rated afterwards.

I love decorated envies, especially when they feature your artwork. (•ᴗ•❁)

Note: Smoke and dust are not my friends, so don't send them my way. Please and thank you!
