Update as of 11//30/2024: I took a nasty fall recently and ended up herniated 3 discs in my lower back and cause major spinal stenosis…. Just waiting on a call for my surgery date…. I more than likely won’t be able to do swaps for a few weeks but who knows it might be good therapy and incentive to get up out of the bed!!! Happy swapping everyone!! And happy holidays!!! Update as of 10/11/2024: my father in law passed away Sunday!!! He was one week shy of turning 90 years old!! But he was suffering so I’m so glad he’s out of pain and in a much better place!! RIP JD…. I love you & miss you dad! Update:: well life goes on and I sure have missed Swap Bot and swapping crafts with everyone!!! So I am back!! I find it better to stay busy right now!!!

Update: 09/12/2024..well I’m taking a short break from swap bot. My best friend just passed away. I have to go thru my mourning and I dont want my crafts to not be up to par. —> I’d like to add that I’m taking care of my mom full time with dementia and also traveling to spend time with my father who has end stage pancreatic cancer. I received my first rating of a 3 because I was late sending a swap out ….all of my other ratings have been 5’s….. just wanted to explain my reason behind the “3”!!! I’m 58 and I married my highschool sweetheart we have 3 indoor cats. I live at the beach 🏖️ and love looking for seashells and sharks 🦈 teeth.. I love crafting and acrylic painting. Just bought a new Cricut Explorer Air 2 and haven’t even tried it out yet because I found this great group and spending all my time doing swaps. LoL …I had purchased the Cricut Joy a few months prior and decided I wanted a bigger machine. So I really do need to open it up and start using it!!!! Hahaha I started making ATC’s and I really enjoy making those! But pocket letters are my favorite still. 😊

Either in my own personal journal or creating journals for others—-> just recently started swapping out with a great friend. It’s so exciting watching it come together. That’s probably my favorite all time hobby right now!! Love making embellishments!! Didn’t realize I was even much into Gothic until I started a junk journal for myself. I just love the black with red or black and purple together!! I can’t seem to get enough ephemera and embellishments. I’m running out of room to store everything!! Hahaha.
