About Me

Hi! My name is Lauren and I am 29 years old. I live in the south of England, where I have lived my whole life.

I've been a member of Swapbot for years now and yet I still don’t really know what to write in this section.

I suffer from a condition called Selective Mutism, which is a severe anxiety disorder that affects communication. It mostly affects verbal communication, however, it does also mean I can struggle with written communication. I’d love to hear from anyone else who suffers from it, as it doesn’t seem as commonly known in adults. I also suffer from other physical and mental health issues, and crafting/swapping is a great help/distraction

Important & Updates

Updated Sept 2024..

  • I rate as soon as I receive a swap, so if I haven’t rated yet, it’s hopefully just because mail can be a bit slow. The latter also applies to swaps I’ve sent.. if you haven’t received a swap from me, please message before rating

  • I understand life can get in the way, so if you’re going to send a swap late, just pop me a message and I won’t rate down because of it. However, if you send late (anything that’s 2/3+ days after the deadline) and don’t bother letting me know, I’ll have to rate down

  • Where possible, I would prefer to receive envelopes that aren’t completely covered in sellotape/clear tape (with the exception of envelopes that have washi on, because I can peel the sellotape off of it), as I like to use parts of the envelopes in other crafts, and recycle the rest

  • Please DO NOT send loose glitter or items with flaky glitter. They will end up being discarded. It’s on my dislikes, but I seem to be receiving more as more of it lately

Dislikes

  • Loose or flaky glitter!
  • Kawaii
  • Anything Religious.. I’m not religious, and don’t know of anyone that is, so wouldn’t be able to make use of it
  • Zines/Mini Zines
  • Postcards of Places
  • Tea/Coffee
  • Peanut Butter
  • Dark Chocolate

Wish List / ISO

  • Anything Papercraft related
  • Anything suitable for fussy cutting (cute, pretty, animals, etc etc)
  • Daphnes Diary Magazines (New, old, single pages, etc.. anything is fine as they are great for fussy cutting)
  • ‘The Washi Tape Shop’ Samples or Rolls
  • Papers with machine (or good quality hand) stitching.. I don’t have a sewing machine, and I’m not great at hand stitching, but love these
  • Anything Harry Potter

  • Kinder Chocolate.. Our selection here is very small, so would love anything Kinder from where you are!

  • Anything Paw Patrol related (My best friends little boy is obsessed!)

Comment: Wow it said to wait to Christmas before opening but I just couldn’t. I’m so happy loving the wrapping paper before I opened it. That will definitely go in a journal. The paper and ribbon are beautiful loving the shiny ones and I love puffy stuckers. Super excited about the gingerbread man crystal art. I love gingerbread men and I’ve been wanting to try crystal art for ages. Thank you so do much you’ve made my weekend start with a big smile 🎅🎄❤️❤️

Comment: Frankly I’m not happy with what I received…it’s very disappointing! I have clearly stated in my wish list that I DO NOT want tiny stickers but you still sent me 3 tiny stickers sheets ( anything equal or smaller than a fingernail is tiny and I think it would be tiny by anyone’s definition) also fall address labels are obviously meant to be personalised address labels…I’ve never had a person send to me blank address labels…when I’ve specifically mentioned address labels in my wish list…this was supposed to be a profile based/wish list swap. Which means that you need to carefully read the wish list but I guess you are in so many swaps that maybe you did not pay attention. Only because I’m the swap host I have not rated you down! If we could post pictures here I would’ve posted of the stickers you sent to me and then everyone could decide whether they are tiny or not!
Response: I’ll reiterate what I replied to you via message.. I’m sorry you’re disappointed, but I sent you exactly what you asked for, and sent well over the recommended spend amount. The Tim Holtz items alone were more than the recommended amount. From what I remember sending, the stickers I chose were profile based and not tiny, they were average sized stickers. Maybe we have different ideas on what tiny means (tiny to me is under 1cm) As for the address labels, you only stated that you wanted Autumn address labels. You didn’t say you wanted personalised or return labels. Here, address labels are the blank ones you use to write others addresses on. I’m honestly very upset with how you’ve reacted to this, especially as you’re the swap host!! I spent a lot of time finding items to match your wishes and likes. I feel you are putting the fault on me, when I reality, it’s down to yourself not being clear on what you had written.

Comment: Thank you for the nice envelope, love especially the HP-stamps :)! I just don’t understand why they cancel the stamps with a pen, that’s annoying but not your fault, of course… Thanks also for the great stickers and the awesome bookmark!

Hi Lauren, thank you for the lovely and joyful LSRU August wishes you sent. I will enjoy using them in my journals and making hand crafted bookmarks. Each wish was very thoughtful and my favorite was the cat photo. Every little creature has a secret message!
