I would like everyone to know that I am going to take a short break from swap-bot for awhile. My granddaughter is getting ready to have double eye surgury and right now I have been overly worried about this surgury and have not been able to concentrate on anything else. More so since they have postponed the dates for this surgury twice due to unforseen medical reasons. I have two swaps that I need to finish, which I have extended the dates on, and to my partners please bear with me and I will get them done. Thank you.

I would like to add a little note here. I would like to comment about ratings. When I receive a swap from my partners I always rate them right away, for two reasons: 1). I would like to let my partners know that the time and effort and hard work that they put into their art is very much appreciated. and 2). And this is very important, that the way the post office has a habit of losing mail, or addresses are entered wrong on the envelope, rating your partner lets them know that the package has been received. This is courtesy as far as I am concerned. I have had partners that I have pm'd asking them if they received the package I sent only to receive no reply. Some stuff I can track but other stuff the post office won't let me track it. So for my future receive swap partners, all I ask is that you take a few moments and either pm me to let me know that my package has been received, or rate me. I put a lot of time into my work, all I am asking from you is a few seconds. Thank you.

My name is Angela and I am a very down to Earth type of person with many interests. I am married with five grown sons and 15 grand children, and with the birth of my last grandson, the boys are again ahead of the girls, seven girls and eight boys. They can be a handful when they all decide to spend a weekend with grandma and grandpa. :) I also have two dogs and five cats, who are also pretty much like children, and demand constant attention. My favorite mammals of all time are whales, Orcas especially.

I am a Wiccan and a die hard environmentalist, so anything that deals with the Earth catches my interest. I have been a Wiccan all of my life. Even as a young child, I felt out of place going to church. I became a practicing Wiccan at the age of 15, and I am very happy with my chosen path. I am an Eclectic, and follow the beliefs of many Traditions. I honor and respect my Mother, the Earth, and love everything about Her.

My Goddess is Hecate

I love collecting stones and have collected quite a few of them. We have a crystal mine close by, about a half hour away, and have collected quite a few good samples from there. I like to make jewelry, and anything that deals with the Wiccan religion, such as pendulums, from them.

I also like to garden, kayak (when I visit my sister), fishing, anything to do with the outdoors.

My best friend is my sister Rose who is also a new swap-bot member. She is Magickspirit51 and we have agreed that we do not wish to be paired with each other if possible. We think it would be more fun to swap with someone who we are not familiar with as this way we can meet new friends.
