Oct. 29, 2017- due to some personal issues, I flaked on some swaps a few years ago. I now have my life back on track and am sending out my past swaps. I am very sorry to anyone that I let down, it sucks to be flaked on. If I owe you anything and havent already contacted you as of today, please let me know. Again, Im really, really sorry. I loved swapping with you guys, and I HATE that I let you down.

I always rate, and usually within a day or two. If you are expecting a rating from me and its not there, feel free to message me, I may have overlooked it.

I do recycle and repurpose lots of things and especially packaging. We only have a limited amount of our world! You may get a recycled envie from me, but I always make sure they are secure.

******************WARNING******************

I post some of my swap items on my Flickr account, so if you are expecting something from me and want to be surprised, don't look! I usually don't post the pictures until the swap is mailed, but sometimes I do, and I don't want to spoil anyone's surprise!
