Did I say I LOVE anything ZENTANGLED?

In my line of work I travel a lot out of town and out of the country and I am talking about 3 times a month therefore I will try to make all my swaps in advance and let them to a familily/relative to mail them for me while I am away. But I cannot always count on someone to do it on time (they usually ask me why I do not use the email)...I just smile. They would not understand anyway.

But I can guarantee you I WILL NEVER FLAKE a swap and if I know I will not be able to post my swaps on a deadline I will PM the host AND my assigned partner to let them know or I will not join the swap at all.

If you do not receive your swap after a fairly amount of time, pleeeeaaaaaaassse just PM me and I will resend ASAP.

• You can send all PCs writen and naked, unless the swap requires otherwise.

I particularly like vintage, black and withe, night views and landscapes. But in general any postcard will do even the cartoon ones.

• I recycle my envelopes.

I don't drink coffee but I love tea. I am not into sweet candies too much but I have two sins: Jelly's sweet as in the HARIBO kinds like jelly/gummy candies and TRADER JOE'S dried fruit.

If you have interest in One on One swap , please PM me. I would like swap:
