• I always have a smile to share

• I have an eclectic style
• I love bright colors and pastels
• I'm not a huge fan of black and gray
• I absolutely LOVE flowers
• I love to play board and dice games
• I do tend to get frustrated in my crafting and sewing as I'm a perfectionist
• I tend to procrastinate at times but I always get it done
• Sometimes I can be an overachiever

We love to cruise and have been to: Bahamas, Mexico, Azore Islands outside of Portugal and The Netherlands. I have also visited 40 US states and various cities. I loved to go on local food tours of new cities that I visited (when they were affordable). They are very informational and filled with great food: I have done, Chicago, San Diego, Kansas City and Atlanta so far.

SWAP INFORMATION: Please rate when you receive

• I try to rate all swaps within a day of receiving them but I occasionally get behind. Please ask me if you have any concerns.
• Please be kind and extend me the same courtesy and rate at your earliest convenience.
• I'm not the kind to beg for acknowledgement but it would certainly be nice to know that you received your card or item.
• I will never flake * I know it isn't required but please ask questions prior to a low rating. * I will do anything I can to rectify any issues there may be. Even one (3) rating can limit us from many other swaps.
• I always mark as sent on the day it is put in the mail. If I do this after work it may show the next day and I apologize for that but I do mail on time.
• Swappers Beware: 11/9/24 I have been having a horrible time with the postal system this year. My most recent incident was that I mailed a swap on time, and two days later it came back to me. The post office said it was because I put my return address on the back instead of the front - so they recognized my address as the delivery address - even though it was the back of the envelope. Please let this be a lesson to no longer put your return address on the back of your envelopes! Ridiculous! Hopefully none of you other swappers run into this issue.

Travel cards and things from your local area are always good too.
