Explanation for the two 3s.

For the 3 (on 4/15/14), the person did not receive the first thing that I sent. I resent. She got it and then gave me a 3. She did receive it although it was late.

For the other 3 (on 8/19/14)... At that point in time, I was having some serious medical issue in my life and had no choice but to drop off the face of the planet. Then 1 week later, my uncle passed from colon cancer. Needless to say it was very difficult time. However, I have recently messaged her and did resend (on 4/08/18). She did received and re-rated from a 1 to a 3 (8/14/18).

2/20/19

The break seems to be longer than expected. We are closing on our first home at the end of the week, and I will be graduating in May. I'll update when possible but for the time being, things are a bit to busy for me to be on here.

9/14/18

I am taking a short break from swap-bot due to some personal issues that have arisen. I hope to be back by the end of the month.

8/8/18

A big thank you to everyone who was patient and helped during my technical support issue!

About Me

My name is Leslie. I have 3 children. 2 girls and 1 boy. My husband and I have been together for 10 years now and are still in love just as much, if not, more than ever! He is my soulmate!

We have 2 fur babies. Our dog is a pitbull/black lab mix named Luna Lovegood, but we call her Luna for short. Our cat is named Iris. She was a rescue from our local no-kill shelter.

I am currently a student at a local community college. My major is Hospitality Management. I will be graduating in May of 2019, then I will be going to a different school for Culinary arts.

This is a list of things to NOT send me and things I'm not to fond of.

☠ Bugs

I hate bugs especially flies, roaches, and fire ants! Butterflies, dragonflies, caterpillars, and ladybugs are okay.

☠ Dirty, Damaged, Used, Smelly, Sticky, Wrinkled, Bent, or Torn items.

I don't want your trash sorry :(

☠ Hello Kitty

☢ Unless you are giving this to me for my child or it is Zombie Hello Kitty or specific swaps like kitty themes, please do not send me this. There are too many knock offs and I don't want them to get mixed in with my good stuff ☢

☠ Any of the following Kawaii:

Diddl, Disney, My Little Pony, Peanuts/Snoopy, Morning Glory, Precious Moments, Nintendo, Chip and Dale, or Angry Birds

Sorry but I'm picky about my Kawaii.

☠ Homemade Postcards (Unless specified by swap)

I'm sure they look great! I'm just not a fan.

☠ Advertisement Postcards

☠ Expired goods

☠ Loose Glitter!!!

I have experienced my first loose glitter package and really didn't like it! Glitter is fine but it shouldn't be all over me when I open the package.

☠ Hateful, Vulgar, Pornographic Mail

I have kids that are around 90% of the time when I open my mail. They don't need to see stuff like that

That's pretty much it. I don't have any allergies, anything goes. If anyone has any suggestions to anything else to add, message me! I'm always open to help and suggestions!

I absolutely love kawaii! I was first introduced to kawaii when I was in high school. We had a foreign exchange student from Japan at our school. For my birthday, she got me some kawaii! I didn't have a clue it was kawaii at that point. I was already hooked though. It opened me to all sorts of Japanese culture like animes such as Sailor Moon, DBZ, and the original Pokemon. In 2013, I met a new friend who I have unfortunately lost contact with. She gave me the hook up with newer kawaii. I have had the pleasure of exploring the wonderful world of kawaii since then.

If you are interested, I have provided a link at the top of my profile. This is where I purchase my kawaii!

This a list of Kawaii that are in my top 20:

⍟ Sentimental Circus

⍟ Tarepanda

⍟ Little twin stars

⍟ Rilakkuma

⍟ Baby Boo

⍟ Sumikkogurashi

⍟ Chocopa

⍟ Little Fairy Tale

⍟ Zombbit

⍟ Piggy girl

⍟ Trumpzaurus

⍟ Kimiko no more

⍟ Kireizukin Seikatu

⍟ Alice silhouette

⍟ Chef Panda

⍟ Mochitto Penguin

⍟ Gudetama

⍟ Lazy Bunny

⍟ Capurimono

There isn't a theme that I dislike, except the real life kawaii stuff. I really like the gothic kawaii more than the others though. I don't really care for the suicidal kawaii that's been starting in Japan. Anything that says "I want to die" or anything like that, PLEASE do NOT send it to me.

I don't really have a color preference or item preference either. I have erasers, pencils, little toy set, ect.

Check out my Flickr to see some of the things I have made!

This is a list of some of my favorite crafts and some more information about each:

∘ ATC

I love ATC's! They are so much fun! I mainly use pencil and acrylic paint on my ATC's. I am planning on expanding on my art style.

∘ Inchies

I had the amazing pleasure of creating my first set of Inchies recently and I love it! So much fun to create something 1 inch by 1 inch. I love the challenge.

∘ Postcards

I love postcards! I collect blank/new postcards. From time to time, I might sign up for a swap that sends them naked, but I prefer them in an envelope.

∘ Kawaii Swaps

I love everything about these swaps! I would love to learn how to do the polymer clay kawaii that is normally going on. I just don't have the time or the funds to do something that time consuming or expensive. For now, I will stick to my flat mail.

∘ Electronic Swaps

I really enjoy personalized electronic swaps (if you haven't noticed my comment section). I am always up for them!

∘ 1 on 1 Swaps

Wanna trade me something I have for something you have? Hit me up on here and we can figure something out!

∘ Deco Envies

AKA Decorated Envelopes! I love to make these and receive them! They are so personalized sometimes!

∘ Bookmarks

Handmade or store bought!

I would like to explore more craft types.

I love food. I am a bit of a food connoisseur of sorts. I enjoy making homemade everything! I sometimes upload photos of recipes I have tried on my twitter but I haven't been to active lately. :(

I have recently dabbled in making homemade pasta and yeast breads! Both were very successful!

I will be attending culinary school starting Fall of 2019. I can't wait to learn new and exciting recipes!

This section I have especially laid out for my children! They love my swaps and are always trying to get involved! My oldest is already moved out so I'm going to omit her section except for a few details.
