@@@@@@@@ August 11

I have gone through all of the Swap-Bot stuff I had worked on before all-you-know-what broke loose, and believe it or not, I had a lot of things already made and, in some cases, packed up and ready to mail! So, I'm getting those out now. Gonna start with emailing each person. I'm starting the emailing tonight! ++++++++++++

July 29

HELLO!!! I'm Back!!!! Wow, so happy to be back - but I don't recognize Swap-Bot. It looks so different! Anyway, I've got a lot to dig through and catch up on. I will just take it one at a time...... I will be in touch with each and every one of you. So, happy to be here, and you'll hear from me soon!!!!!

June 28 update - Hello Swap-Bot Buddies. I'm still here! I have not been able to log in for quite some time, but I am still here, and still part of Swap-Bot. I am good for ALL swaps. Please don't angel any of my swaps. If any have already been angelled, then I will angel the angel. Life has just knocked the tee-total-crap out of things for me lately, but I'm hangin' in and hangin' on. (I think that's a Tanya Tucker song, isn't it?) Anyway, I am only on here for a couple of minutes this morning. But I will be back within the week to finish all swaps. I will email you individually when I get to your swap, and let you know what, when, where. Say a little prayer for me that things will ease up a bit, so I can do "fun" things again!!!! Later......

%%% Saturday, May 31 - quick update (on my way to work AGAIN!!) arrrggghhh - I am off Monday, and will finish all of my Swap-Bot on that day. Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the delay, but work has been an absolute nightmare lately. It starts to get better this week, with a NEW job, and phasing out the old one. YEAH! Be happy for me!!

%%%%% Thursday, May 22 - Been a week since I was even able to log in. My job has gone from 12 hour days to 14 hour days, and I just can't keep going like this, soooooo I got a new job today! Yeah!! Within the next week I will be settled down into a better routine and all packages will be delivered. I love you guys. You've been so great, and so understanding. I just can't thank you enough. Love Swapping with you guys!!!

Update: I'm headed to work right now, but wanted to log in long enough to say I'M STILL HERE!! Gonna get another batch of packages mailed off tomorrow (Friday). Thank you all for being such wonderful Swap-Bot friends, and it looks like I'm going to be completely caught up SOOOOON. Have a great day!!

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Jumping up and down with relief!! I got a big box of packages mailed off today! YEAH!! I am sooo relieved about that. I have a handful of packages still left to send, so I will finish working on those tonight and hope to get them in the mail tomorrow morning before I head off to work again. Please know that EVERYBODY will get their package, and I will angel all of my hosted swaps for anybody that didn't get a package. AND I still have a lot of people to rate - and I will, I promise. I just feel so relieved to have gotten such a big box of packges mailed off today. I'm celebrating, ba-bee!!

Hello, it is Wednesday afternoon, and I am headed to the post office!

• I am so profoundly sorry to all of my wonderful Swap-Bot friends, but life has just kicked the crap out of me lately, and I have been unable to catch up with all that needs to be done. I had friends helping me get the packages out, but that didn't work too well. Everything has been bought, made, wrapped, notes written, etc. Everything except the actual mailing. I thought some had gone out, but I found out they didn't. So here I sit, very upset, very very upset. I am so sorry my packages have taken so long to get to you. Please be kind and let me get these packages to you. They are great packages, with neat little goodies, beautiul dotee dolls, and lots of extra goodies. I have just been unable to get to the post office during the hours they are open. I thought my horrible work schedule was over, but they called me in again. I think I'm going to stop answering the phone!

Anyway, I need everyone to know - I am NOT a flaker - I send great packages - I have just had a major glitch in my life. YOU WILL GET YOUR PACKAGES!

I love garden things - plant pokes and garden stones, things like that. I collect teeny-tiny little-bitty itsy-bitsy shoes. They are very hard to find. I'm talking about one inch and smaller, sometimes a little larger, but SMALL. I love to go to yard sales and thrift shops. There is such a variety of different things. It's like Forrest's mother told him "You never know what you're gonna get." I always look for old knitting needles and books.
