Just a note: I'd like to point out my my '1' ratings, but I would also like to point out that they are very dated (over a year and a half old). I stopped using the site after I received 1's or no ratings at all for items I took great care in sending. I really miss swapping, especially ATC's and postcards, and would love to give it another try. Your trust and extra consideration in letting me join swaps to 'mend' my status is so greatly appreciated!

I'm Emily. :) I'm 26. I come from a town where the largest buildings around are the churches, and I love that. I am a preschool teacher, so my days are never boring. I recently became engaged to my prince, and we plan to be married in October 2012. I love Glee, Selena, and The Beatles. I love spending time with my fiance, family, friends, and my pets! I am a huge animal lover; I have 3 pets: Willy, an orange tiger cat, and Pokey, a black and white tuxedo cat, and Diego the Dog, a black lab mix. All three are handsome and loving.

I love to sing, and watch movies. I collect keepsake ornaments, kitchen gadgets, dvds, and so on. I spend a lot of time dreaming about my future. I love interior decorating!

I joined swap-bot after becoming familiar with Postcrossing. I have done quite a few ATC's, but am here mainly for postcards of all varieties.

Whenever I am sending a swap, I do my best to look at my partner's profile and see how I can best match their likes and incorporate it into what I send. So, I thought for the benefit of my senders and myself, I'd add a list that's easy to scan!

• I LOVE all things BRIGHT and COLORFUL. My favorites are color is PURPLE!!!
• Like many, I adore vintage cards. They're the best! Especially if they are authentically "old".

Like most, I had really hoped I wouldn't have to add a section like this to my profile. Le sigh. I was really slow to do this, thinking that eventually mail or a rating would appear. I will never add someone to this list prematurely - anyone listed here has neglected their duty for a long time, and ignored my attempts to contact them. I get that life happens, and am always patient. So here lies my list of users that have screwed me over. Of course, if any of them attempts to mend the situation I will be happy to take a name off this list!!
