About Me

If you can, 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!

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.

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: Hello Toni. Thanks for the swap (including the extra card). I must say, I got a chuckle out of some of the cards. It's helpful that they were identified. I initially thought the dragon was a sleeping dog. As for the "lost map"... not much can be said about that! LOL! All the best to you in the new year.!
Response: I wish I had a pet dragon but my doggie is quite the fire breathing terrier, lol!! Happy New Year to you and yours. Thank you for the💜xxMuggleMom

Comment: Thank you for sharing! I have 'Here One Moment' on my library reserves but I'm afraid I'm not in the right headspace for it right now, is it really sad?
Response: I don't think Here One Moment was sad at all - its so quirky and fabulously crazy but maybe someone could find it sad. The ending was wild! I love your list - I saw quite a few books we have in common - in fact, I just finished, last night no less - All That Remains by Sue Black. Thanks for hosting this fun swap - I love the format and am sharing it with my book club baddies at the public library! Have a fabu 2025!! xxMuggleMom

Comment: Love the book pc you included, thank you. I really enjoyed the way you did this swap. It’s super engaging. I laughed about your review of The Women. I’ve heard how great it is right, lol. Why did you keep reading it? At this point in my life I have realized if it sucks in the first three chapters I’m down with it!! Thanks for the additional recommendations. Fun swap Toni. Happy New Year!!
Response: Hiya!! I only read up to chapter 1 then tried to burn the book.(my GR review of this turd has 30 likes so far, lol) But all my bookclubs are talking about reading it this year so I'm on an active campaign to dissuade them if I can. I won't reread it if it gets picked but I will show up to see what they thought of it and then lob my landmines, lol. I hope you have a wonderful and Happy New Year.Thank you for the💜xxMuggleMom

Comment: Thanks for the 4nice decos plus your gorgeous gothic Lolita page for the book I’m trying to complete! It looks great!
Response: I seriously like that Lolita page myself and I think I'm gonna make more of that style going forward. Sometimes its hard to think of new tricks but that one should be on the top. I'll write myself a note to remember and then lose the note, lol!! Here's to a Happy New Year to you!! xxMuggleMom

Thank you for the sticker grab bag you sent me from Rebecca Jane's Stickers on Etsy for my January WW. I love her stickers and her PDT labels! This was a nice surprise.
