If you haven't received a swap from me in a reasonable amount of time, please contact me. I know USPS can and have made a lot of mistakes. I will gladly resend.😁

About ❤️s

I love to receive and give out hearts. I'm not really picky and will give most people a heart. However, if you send a postcard to me with a sticky note attached, and it has been mentioned in the swap or group to never ever put sticky notes on the cards, you will not receive a heart. It leaves a horrible sticky mess on the card that doesn't come off, makes it difficult to write on, and you ruined someone's postcard for them.

Pass Along Items

I've got quite the collection of Friendship Books/Friendship Sheets. I don't mind them, but I know a lot of others don't care for them; therefore, I am going to limit the amount I will be accepting.

Friendship Books: I will only be accepting one friendship book/friendship sheet per pass along swap. (Of course if the swap states differently or it's a FB/FS swap, follow the rules of the swap.) I don't mind if it's a last signer and I don't mind if it's an International book, but please only one per swap. I am overwhelmed with them right now.

Bags: I am happy to receive any amount of bags in a swap. I am perfectly fine with receiving up to 3 homers or last signer bags.

Decos, Lyrix, Slams & Junk Journals: Please only send one per swap. I have a little collection of these and I need to work on them before receiving any more. Homers/Last signers are still set at one per swap. This is NOT in addition to the one already mentioned.

Sticker Slams/Books: I'm seeing that sticker books are different than sticker bags. I'm happy with receiving any amount. Only 2 homers at a time, please.

TPC: I'm happy with receiving any amount of these as well as any amount of homers. I already have a nice little horde going on, so if you would like extra, that would be greatly appreciated.

With all pass along items, please make sure to include the send to's email address and current mailing address, or if you can return, please note that. I have a few decos and bags that are just sitting because I don't have a current mailing address and no one has responded to my email requests. Another thing, please note that you passed on any pass along items you send on to someone else; otherwise, you run a risk of receiving it again and again and again and no one likes their pass along items just rotating and not being completed.

Sanrio Character Ranking

Please do not copy anything from my profile verbatim to put on your profile!

I have worked hard on my profile to make it the way it is. It has taken me a year to learn how to use Markdown and the ropes of Swap-Bot. I understand you may have the same topics or even link the same image. I don't care about that, but don't copy a paragraph word-for-word and tack it on your profile. Isn't that plagiarism?

I love getting mail. All of it except for bills and loan offers. Those aren't fun or exciting at all. I love paper crafting and all things paper. Stationery, stickers, junk journals, ephemera, bookmarks, tags, etc. I'm currently in the process of making my first junk journal. (I have been for a while now. lol) I seem to be in a slump and need to find something to inspire me. I also like video games, reading, watching movies and TV, various types of music, shopping, sleeping, thrifting, baking and especially eating what I bake.

How do you tell someone is a crafter? By the amount of glue and glitter she has on her and the various colors of her fingertips. 😁

💞 I've seen a lot of people don't like Kawaii, gothic, butterflies, childish items, ice cream, Harry Potter, cartoon items, bookmarks, or puffy stickers. I love it all! Scratch and sniff stickers and puffy stickers remind me of my childhood, and as I'm getting older, I don't mind reminiscing. 😉 I prefer lace, girlie, floral,🌹 fairies, shabby chic, botanical, butterflies,🦋 dragonflies, pink,💗 red,❤️ blues,💙 and neutral color items. I'm not really crazy about the color purple,💜 but I will accept items that are purple, just not a purple theme please. On the topic of dragonflies, I don't much care for dragons, 🐉 though unicorns 🦄 and Pegasus are okay. Now gnomes... Gnomes need an entire paragraph all to themselves. 😁

I absolutely love gnomes!!! A fat little guy or gal with fuzzy hair poking out from his/her hat. What could be more cute? If I could have given birth to a baby gnome, I probably would have had kids. hahahaha! Anything with a gnome on it, I'm all for it. Send me a gnome or something with a gnome on it and you will have all the hearts in the world from me.

My latest obsession is Sanrio, especially Cinnamoroll. I find that little puppy to be the cutest looking thing next to gnomes. haha.

I prefer strange and loud rock music. The louder the better. I take my music with a bit of a sharp edge, but I can listen to most anything at least once. Some of my favorite artists are HIM, Shinedown, Rob Zombie, Bad Omens, Disturbed, Metallica, Black Veil Brides, Five Finger Death Punch, Falling In Reverse and 30 Seconds To Mars (yes, even their new stuff.)

Junk journaling, card making, any paper craft, macramé, jewelry making.

American Horror Story, True Blood, Breaking Bad, Orphan Black, Bates Motel, Big Sky, Good Girls, Young Sheldon, Ghosts, FBI, Animaniacs, Big City Greens, Mom, and Laverne and Shirley.

As far as horror and gothic things go, I'm not afraid of bloody and gory. I'm okay with scary 🎃HALLOWEEN🎃 things. Just no actual dead people. That's a bit creepy.

🎄CHRISTMAS🎄 I realize what the holiday is all about. I also realize it's extremely commercialized in the United States. I do not mind religious items for Christmas as long as they are Christian related. That doesn't mean I want a glittery candle with the Virgin Mary on it, but a religious Christmas card or stamp or something with shepherds or the Magi or a nativity is not going to upset me.

🧙‍♀️🔮 WITCHY 🧙‍♀️🔮 I am not Pagan or Wiccan, but I have no issues with those who are or witchy items. I have practiced spells and divination. I think of it in more of a psychological sense than religious. That being said, I love tarot cards. I think the imagery is amazing. I've started getting into Lenormand and oracle cards, but have yet to purchase a deck. Soon though. I have always loved crystals and wands. My favorite crystals are malachite, sodalite, moonstone, sandstone, and lapis lazuli. I'll always take a rose quartz as well. I need more love in my life. 😁 I have studied crystals and herbology. Unfortunately, I do not have a green thumb and killed my herbs. I'll buy them dried from now on. I like sage and sage bundles. I like essential oil too, but please don't send any. I can't have lemongrass in the house and I find that some have a very pungent smell. This also goes for incense. I have only found a few scents I like and I bought those from a little Asian lady, who sadly, is no longer in business. Pentagrams, lunar symbols, altar clothes, athames, wands, etc. are welcome. I realize athames and knives can't be mailed to some states, so I don't really expect you to send me a sword. haha

I'm not really fond of it, but I don't hate it. If you send me a scripture or quote from someone, I'm not going to be upset. If I sign up for a biblical related swap -- which probably will never happen -- I definitely don't mind.

🗑️JUNK OR TRASH💩 I can't believe I have to note this, but please no magazine clippings, paper scraps or junk mail, etc. I don't mind memo notes, origami, or scrapbook papers. I don't want your used magazine pages or junk mail unless you upcycle it.

🚫NO FOOD!🚫 I'm not up for food item trades. I think they are just a bit odd. Candy, tea, coffee, crackers, and chocolate will just be thrown away. Please save your items and postage for someone who wants it. No tea, please.🍵 I like tea and coffee items, I just don't care to swap food. Tea, coffee, candy and chocolate themes are welcome.

I'm also not big on cosplay, anime or superheroes. Marvel and DC are okay, but I am just not too interested.

🛁BATH & BODY🛁, I've decided to make a change to this. I like bath & body 🛁, perfume, and makeup 💄, but I do not like dollar store items. A nail file (as long as it's not metal or an extreme grit - think black emery board) is fine.

I actually like dollar store lip balm. Balm, not gloss!!! The kind in the hard plastic tube with the little dial on the bottom or the EOS containers. NO CARMAX though! It reminds me of my high school days and someone I would rather not remember.

🚫I do not like dollar store makeup, lotions, hair products or soap.🚫Ulta brand (Sweet & Shimmer), Bath and Body Works, Sephora, etc. are fine. I know they have sales where you can get items 5 for $5 or a few dollars.

Hair items from the dollar store are okay, usually. Meaning scrunchies, hair ties, clips, brushes, combs.

I do not have a bath tub 🛁, but I can use bath bombs in a shower, though they aren't as fun to watch dissolve. Please make sure they are highly scented, otherwise I'm just dissolving Epsom salt and that's no fun, especially in the shower. Epsom salt packets are okay too. I can sprinkle it on the floor, but once again, scented only and NO LAVENDER or lilac scent. Ick! Rose, orange, citrus and the invigorating scents are perfectly fine.

Absolutely NO FACE MASKS! Those horrible paper things give me claustrophobia. I'm like the cat with cheese on his face. hahahaha! 😁

Thanks for understanding. 😊

"No common verb follows the precise pattern of snuck: the past tense of leak is not luck, of streak is not struck, of creak is not cruck, of peek is not puck.
