12/21/24 - Hi all! I will be out of town starting Monday, December 23 through Friday, December 27. I will not have access to my mail or computer.

07/08/24 - Hi all! I have rated everything that was received while we were on vacation! Had a blast spending time with the Grandbabies! Our newest one was five weeks old and he is so sweet! Looks just like the men on our side, plus he has blue eyes, so exciting! Thank you for your patience while I was away! ;)


04/22/24 - Hi all! The hubby is having his second knee replacement surgery on Tuesday, April 23, so things may be a tad hectic for a few days. I will do my best to rate timely and ask for your patience with ratings and/or messages. All the best! ;)

01/11/24 - Hi all! I will be out of town January 12-14th and will not have access to my Happy Mail - also the 15th is a US holiday, so no mail that day.

My husband is having knee replacement surgery on January 16, 2024, so things are going to be hectic for several days - I will do my best on getting things rated and commented on ASAP. Please be patient with me, as my hubby is not the best patient, and I am an impatient nurse, so... Prayers for all, please and thank you!! ;)



We adopted a puppy (Ms. Greta) on March 9, 2021, and I forgot how much work they are! LOL! She is a sweetheart but I am way older than when we have had puppies in the past and my Mom eyes in the back of my head seem to be gone, so I have to watch her like a hawk or she is into stuff! LOL! This too shall pass and I am enjoying her puppy silliness & all the love she has to share! Thanks for your understanding if I get behind on rating or commenting on your ratings! Hugs and Happy Swapping πŸ˜‰


I am married and have two sons, an awesome DIL and two Grands (a girl and boy), who call me Yaya! I love the thought of scrap-booking and making cards, but have been lacking the energy as of late! Also love reading (murder, mystery, and mayhem!) and meeting new friends through fb or other group sites! Hope I can participate in some of the swaps on this site and make some new friends!

When my oldest son left for college in August 2009, I felt such a void in my life and joined SB in 2010.

I enjoy meeting new people, exchanging cards and pcs with them, as well as going to local scrap booking events and meeting new folks!

So far I have been lucky that any swaps I have signed up for, I have been able to fulfill my obligation. I would hope that would continue.

I am not into drama and will try to send stuff that I think my swap partner will enjoy - however if I miss the mark, well stuff happens! I am very easy going with what folks send me and just look forward to seeing how others respond to the different swaps!

Loves/Likes - My family, Being happy, Hearing kiddos laugh, Being with gal pals, Card making, Meeting new people, Love, love, love to read! The library is one of my favorite places!! The beach, Halloween, Christmas, Birthdays! Soccer, Taking pictures, Being able to help others, Being able to laugh at myself , A clean house (this is a dream of mine but I am a bit of a clutter bug, so...), Traveling, Vacations, Flowers, Learning new things,

Dislikes- Drama when it is not necessary, People that just need to get over themselves, Vacations that do not work out, Kids being disrespectful to their elders and each other, Car problems, Health issues, Feeling like someone has taken advantage of you or someone you care about, Housework! lol

Ratings - I am very good about trying to rate quickly, so if you sent me something and do not see a rating timely, please let me know! Either I did not get the item or it got mixed in with other stuff!! That does happen sometimes!

Swaps

I love all postcards - have a soft spot for vintage postcards but really have not met a postcard I didn't like! LOL!

I would love to receive some cute address labels and could exchange pcs for them! If you can help me out, please send me a pm!

Comment: Thanks! I've always enjoyed going to the zoo. The NC Zoo is great but since I've moved, it's probably 3hrs away. :(
Response: Hi! I do love the zoo and can see how three hrs away would be off-putting unless you had other fun stuff planned! Thank you for the nice comment, rating, and heart! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: Oh la la, merci pour le moulin rouge, la nuit PC. It was in the mid 80s yesterday and I was NOT ready for it. From 60s to 80s back to 60s next day and rain on the way. Weather whiplash. May you enjoy much more bird TV in your yard.
Response: Hi! Thank you for the nice comment and rating! We are going to get hit with storms tomorrow - sigh! Yes, watching bird TV in our yard rocks! LOL! Yesterday there was a fox chilling out - fun to watch as well! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: Hi Vicky! I received a swap from u this time and what a beautiful postcard. Thank you so much! U mean the statue of liberty moves? I've only seen the eiffel tower in real life but I had never gone up before. The others I only get to see them on TV. How about you?
Response: Hi! Looked it up to be sure:The Statue of Liberty is one of the most iconic landmarks in the world. But does this torch-bearing lady actually move? The answer is yes – albeit very slowly. Liberty Island, where the Statue of Liberty stands, is made up of two natural islands and several man-made islands. I have seen the Eiffel Tower in person and we live across from St. Louis, MO, so the Arch is very near us! Thank you for the sweet comment, rating, and heart! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: Thanks for your list of books and notes about the. Acrually I don't read the kind of books you read and I don't get books from a library (although we have good ones). I haunt thrift stores and such because I find that here,where there are many retired people great mayny have interseting reading habits and eithe give their books to the thrift store or a surpvivor after a death does. I've gotten very picky and a lot of books I read are by people from other countries --often prize winners, occasioniall prize winnners either from US or other countires. Most are fiction but some are biographies.
Response: Hi June! Thank you for joining the swap, your very kind comment, rating, and heart! How fun that you find the types of books you enjoy in thrift stores-some of the thrift stores here have reasonable pricing but others not so much! All the best! Hugs, Happy Reading, and Swapping! ;)

bowdiv

Reading through your profile, I couldn't help but sense what a wonderfully warm personality and joy for life you have! You seem like such a lovely person, and I'm genuinely amazed at your 5.0 rating over almost 6k swaps! It's clear you have such a passion for this hobby, and it's so sweet that you take the time to respond to your ratings.

I hope you have a wonderful National Compliment Day and that you get the chance to spread some positivity even outside of Swap-bot today! :-)

Thank you for the kind words! I'm starting to think I won't meet a postcard I won't like either - they all have something good about them! Happy swapping!

Happy Holidays!

Hello, apologies for waiting until last day of the swap. Have been so busy with exams and revision. Here are my answers for LLU: Happy Library Week. Take care, Shel (UKrebel85)

1) The opening hours used to be very minimal but they have now got self check out machines so the library can be open even when it is not manned. It has made such a difference.

2) The staff are lovely, if the book you are looking for is not there they can order it from another library in our council area (our council covers 2,667 sq. miles – we are quite rural!) and it can be there within 2 weeks.

3) The kids section is lovely, comfy and safe so my daughter can sit there and look at books while I go and find something for myself.

4) Our view, our town is right next to the water and the library relocated to a new building that houses the gym and a hall where concerts etc, are held (I’m actually getting married in that hall which is right next to the library, maybe get some photos in there!) The library has windows everywhere, it is really light and airy as well.

5) There is always a jigsaw on the go near one of the big windows that you can do a wee bit of when you are in!
