I took a lot of time off from this and I'm bored and want mail and new friends, so I'm going to slowly venture back into it.

I like to do crafts. Often times I get an idea in my head and it looks good up there, but doesn't come out the way I hoped, but I always try really hard.

Lately, I have become a HUGE fan of HANDMADE items. I find a lot of things that I purchase end up in the trash, so when reading my wishlist please keep that in mind.

I will ALWAYS accept anything that says " Faith, Hope, & Love "

Ratings and Such

-I WILL rate you once i receive your package. It may not be at the exact moment i come in the door after opening it, but i will rate.

-In return, I hope that you will let me know when you receive a package from me so i am not fretting over it not having arrived.

-I hope that you will never have reason to give me a 1 or a 3, but if you feel the need to, i would also hope that you would talk to me about it beforehand so that maybe we could find a solution before the nasty rating drop.

-IF you flake on a swap that I am hosting or on me as a partner, I will report you and have you added to the flakers- do not send list.

• I have been getting really not so great swaps from people lately so I have decided to not be nice anymore when it comes to the rating. IF you send me something that is clearly NOT what the swap description says it is, I will contact you. If you don't do anything to resolve the situation I will rate you accordingly.

• You are welcome to add extras to things you send me, however, I do NOT make the assumption that just because you sent extras, means I should rate you better. If your envie/package is worthy of a heart you will get one. If it is not, then don't expect to receive a heart from me.

• Lastly, on a lot of these swaps I put together I work hard and would appreciate a little respect. If you worked hard for something, would you want someone to look down on it? I think not.

-Also, I put a lot of thought into my swaps for my partners. I base things on what they would like. I read their profiles and make sure it will be something they like.

-If MORE people on here did that, we'd run into a lot nicer of a community where people didn't just go out to the dollar spot of their local craft store and pick up a bunch of crap. IF you join a nice swap, MAKE IT A NICE PACKAGE!!!
