FIRST OF ALL....I WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING.....

I have joined quite a few swaps and most of the ones I join are profile based. Out of over 30 swaps I have participated in, I have only received 2 packages that even had anything to do with my profile. I am pretty sure the reason for filling out a profile is so people can send things that you like and will use. I love Swap-Bot, but I have to admit that I get very disappointed when I receive a package that are full of items that I have no use for. So please read thru my profile and choose items that I WILL LIKE. Thank you.

I have a LINK to my Pinterest Boards above. That will give you some ideas of what I like and what I am doing, want to do, or dream of lol. So feel free to take a look if you're stumped while reading my profile.

Note to ALL my Partners. I like to spend some time on my items I send out. If I am doing a recipe swap, I don't like to just print someone off and stick it in an envelope. I will at least make it cute, fun, and exciting for you to look at. Anyone can click print on a computer and stick in it the mail. I send things out the way I would like to receive them. It would be great if you could do that same. Thank you!

I AM NOT A FLAKER!! I send my items out, usually in a timely manner. If you have not received a package from me, please contact me before rating me a 1. I HAVE NEVER and WILL NEVER not send out a package. I have been flaked on TWICE and it is NOT a good feeling at all and I would NEVER do that to someone else. I have had an item I sent out be lost in the mail and never made it to the person. I am very thankful for the communication between my partner and I and I sent out another package. So please, COMMUNICATE!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~

That's about all I can think of. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I'm a pretty open person and love to try anything at least once.

Thank you!!
