About Me

15 Mar - traveling and will rate any swaps when I return

Jan2025

If you still have any, please use the Ruth Bader Ginsberg SHEro stamp on your envie to me! UPSIDE DOWN also - that way her face doesn't get marked. I really want to receive as many canx stamps of her!


Do you love purple💜, come purple out with us:

Purple Craze group

PHOTOs- I take photos of all my swaps & envie's before I send them out - so I will email a copy of the photos if something goes awry or gaga with the US post to verify that I'm not a flaker or flaking. Please let me know if there's a problem and I'll gladly send it again. Thank a Postie for all their hard work for us crafty swappers.


Owl Post

I will contact you if my swap doesn't get there within a reasonable time because I like to know if the time & effort I spent making a treasure made it to you. Unless overseas, then I generally wait 30days or more. But please, do me the CURTSEY of acknowledging my efforts timely.

Aloha! I give ❤️❤️ BECAUSE in a world full of people judging, criticizing, thumbs up/down, like/disliking everything, if someone took the time out of their day to buy a stamp, send a card/note/letter, walk to the mailbox, etc... just to brighten my day, then I am grateful because nobody is forced to do anything they don't want to do.

So thanks in advance for giving of YOUR TIME, spending YOUR money to mail me your special creations. You didn't have to share so that speaks volumes of your character - in my humble opinion...if your dislike list is long, this too says much of your character. I'm here to learn and experience other people, not just "stuff" & "things".

I put a lot of thought & 💕 into sending out your happy mail because I want to bring a smile to your door.

Comment: Hi Toni! Look what finally found its way to my mailbox! LOL! I cannot believe you don't like choc chip cookies - do you like other cookies? I am a cookie monster, so I love all of them! LOL! All the best and I wish your pc could talk, so we knew what adventures it had along the way! LOL! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
Response: Yea, the pc made it to you!! I love just about any cookie that doesn't have chocolate. In fact, just an hr ago I was at Crumbl (they started in Utah) so they are everywhere. One of my favorite cookies is Crumbl Iced Oatmeal. And I can't even image what the pc could tell us about it road to your house, lol!! I look forward to more postal shenanigans with you in the future!! xxMuggleMom
