After I get out my last open swap Angel ATC I will be taking a break from swap bot for an un-determined amount of time. I just don't have time to keep up with swaps right now. For members of my group: Crocheters of the US please direct all questions to the group officers who will be taking over while I am away.

If you are unhappy with a swap I send, or never received from me... please contact me BEFORE leaving a low rating so I can fix the problem. Thanks!

I am a 24 y/o female originally from Florida, now in North Carolina. I am a newlywed. I met my wonderful husband, Paul on Myspace (gotta love internet communication). I am a paralegal and currently trying to balance work, being a wife, swapping, and preparing for holiday craft shows! I love to read, write, all kinds of music, watching movies, working out and spending time with my animals (chihuahua-Penny, mixed puppy-Dollar and cat-Nickel).

FYI: In the future, because of the rising costs of shipping... I will not be participating in or hosting any international swaps unless they are E-swaps or VERY LIGHT items that don't cost much to ship.

Scrapbooking, photography, sewing, ceramic painting, quilting, wreaths, decorating; crocheting ( I just fell in love with making Amigurumi! my new obsession!), cross-stitch, paper crafts etc.
