About Me

05/25/25 - Hi all! I have commented and rated on everything I have received at this time - if I didn't rate/comment, it hasn't made it yet! I am still getting mail from January - April, so... Trust me that I would not rate without reaching out to you first!! All the Best and Happy Swapping! ;)


05/12/25 - Hi all! I will be traveling from May 13 - 16 and again from May 19 - 22. I will be sending out swaps during that time but will not have access to my computer or Happy Mail. I will get everything rated as soon as I can! Thank you for your understanding! ;)

***everything has been rated that I received while gone on my first trip, sadly I received a pc that was postmarked in January and another postmarked in March - not sure what the heck is going on with the post office and wish our Happy Mail could tell us about the adventures it had before reaching us! LOL!

****also received a 1 rating while away with no comment or communication, so no clue as to why my partner rated me a 1. I left a message on the swap and also private messaged her, and the host. Not much the host or I can do, as the swapper has not been back on SB since May 13, 2025. This is a crock of BS for me but what can ya do? Life is not fair and apparently some swappers aren't either!


04/12/25 - Hi everyone! I have rated everything that I received while I was out of town! What fun to come home to such great Happy Mail! Hope everyone had a great Happy Mail week! ;)


04/06/25 - Hi all! I will be out of town from Monday, 04/07/25, thru Friday, 04/11/25. I will not have access to my computer or Happy Mail. I will rate everything when I return. Thank you for your patience and understanding! ;)


03/28/25 - Hi all! Had a quick trip to NE to see our youngest son and the Sandhill Cranes - what an adventure! Then Thursday went with friends to a scrapbooking/crafting event - I am a tired but happy gal! LOL! Everything I have received has been rated - if you sent in Feb. and it is not rated yet, there is still hope as I got a couple of pieces today from early Feb., so... if only the mail could tell us its adventures!! Thank you again for your patience, it is appreciated! ;)


03/23/25 - Hi all! I am going to be out of town from Monday, 03/24 through Thursday, 03/27 and will not have access to my computer or Happy Mail! I will catch up on ratings as soon as possible after I am back. Thank you for your understanding and patience! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)


02/13/25 - Hi all! I will be out of town from Friday, 02/14/25 through Sunday, 02/16/25 and then Monday is a federal holiday, so no mail. Our mail will hopefully be delivered on 02/18/25. I will not have access to my computer while away and to the mail until it is delivered. I will catch up on ratings that week. Thank you for your patience! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)


01/21/25 - Hi all! I had a wonderful time at my crafting event - got lots of swaps completed and mailed, yipppeee! Thank you for your patience in me getting stuff rated. Everything I have received has been rated, if there isn't a rating at this time it is not here. All the best and hugs! ;)


01/16/25 - I will be at a crafting event all weekend and will not have access to my mail or computer, then Monday 01/20 is a federal holiday and no mail will be running. I will catch up on everything hopefully between January 21/22 - thank you for your patience and understanding! ;)



We adopted a puppy (Ms. Greta) on March 9, 2021, and I forgot how much work they are! LOL! She is a sweetheart but I am way older than when we have had puppies in the past and my Mom eyes in the back of my head seem to be gone, so I have to watch her like a hawk or she is into stuff! LOL! This too shall pass and I am enjoying her puppy silliness & all the love she has to share! Thanks for your understanding if I get behind on rating or commenting on your ratings! Hugs and Happy Swapping πŸ˜‰


I am married and have two sons, an awesome DIL and two Grands (a girl and boy), who call me Yaya! I love the thought of scrap-booking and making cards, but have been lacking the energy as of late! Also love reading (murder, mystery, and mayhem!) and meeting new friends through fb or other group sites! Hope I can participate in some of the swaps on this site and make some new friends!

When my oldest son left for college in August 2009, I felt such a void in my life and joined SB in 2010.

I enjoy meeting new people, exchanging cards and pcs with them, as well as going to local scrap booking events and meeting new folks!

So far I have been lucky that any swaps I have signed up for, I have been able to fulfill my obligation. I would hope that would continue.

I am not into drama and will try to send stuff that I think my swap partner will enjoy - however if I miss the mark, well stuff happens! I am very easy going with what folks send me and just look forward to seeing how others respond to the different swaps!

Loves/Likes - My family, Being happy, Hearing kiddos laugh, Being with gal pals, Card making, Meeting new people, Love, love, love to read! The library is one of my favorite places!! The beach, Halloween, Christmas, Birthdays! Soccer, Taking pictures, Being able to help others, Being able to laugh at myself , A clean house (this is a dream of mine but I am a bit of a clutter bug, so...), Traveling, Vacations, Flowers, Learning new things,

Dislikes- Drama when it is not necessary, People that just need to get over themselves, Vacations that do not work out, Kids being disrespectful to their elders and each other, Car problems, Health issues, Feeling like someone has taken advantage of you or someone you care about, Housework! lol

Ratings - I am very good about trying to rate quickly, so if you sent me something and do not see a rating timely, please let me know! Either I did not get the item or it got mixed in with other stuff!! That does happen sometimes!

Swaps

I love all postcards - have a soft spot for vintage postcards but really have not met a postcard I didn't like! LOL!

I would love to receive some cute address labels and could exchange pcs for them! If you can help me out, please send me a pm!

Comment: I love the postcard you sent (resent), the VIetnam Memorial is one of my favorites in DC. Years ago, the traveling replica stopped in Albuquerque and it was impressive even if it was smaller. Recently I visited the National Infantry Museum in Columbus, GA and it is the permanent home of the traveling Vietnam Memorial. The museum is worth the visit if you're in the area.

Comment: Always great to hear from you, and sounds like a good weekend! Happy Belated Birthday to the sweet Grandson! Laughs about kinda not wanting to go out with Hub to the sales... I know exactly what you mean! But then it's good together time as well: you get to hold hands as you walk places. :) But I hope you enjoy your Girl Time with your little furry love, while Hub is away. Thank you for sharing your weekend with me!!
Response: Hi Rift! Always wonderful to swap with you! Thank you for the sweet comment, rating, heart, and for continuing to host these swaps! The photo of our Grandson after having his B-day cake was too cute! He looked like he was stuffed and needed to stretch out! LOL! The hub and I did enjoy the sales and yes, I love my Girl Time with MGM! LOL! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

I am so sorry for your undeserved 1 rating! I have reached out to your partner in this but not sure if I will hear back, so unfair and I am so sorry.

inoracam on Apr 15, 2025:

Thank you for working on my Art Collab postcard in round 146. It made its way home :)

budsHAPPY NATIONAL COMPLIMENT DAY!!

bowdiv

Reading through your profile, I couldn't help but sense what a wonderfully warm personality and joy for life you have! You seem like such a lovely person, and I'm genuinely amazed at your 5.0 rating over almost 6k swaps! It's clear you have such a passion for this hobby, and it's so sweet that you take the time to respond to your ratings.

I hope you have a wonderful National Compliment Day and that you get the chance to spread some positivity even outside of Swap-bot today! :-)

Thank you for the kind words! I'm starting to think I won't meet a postcard I won't like either - they all have something good about them! Happy swapping!

Happy Holidays!

UKrebel85 on Apr 14, 2024:

Hello, apologies for waiting until last day of the swap. Have been so busy with exams and revision. Here are my answers for LLU: Happy Library Week. Take care, Shel (UKrebel85)

1) The opening hours used to be very minimal but they have now got self check out machines so the library can be open even when it is not manned. It has made such a difference.

2) The staff are lovely, if the book you are looking for is not there they can order it from another library in our council area (our council covers 2,667 sq. miles – we are quite rural!) and it can be there within 2 weeks.

3) The kids section is lovely, comfy and safe so my daughter can sit there and look at books while I go and find something for myself.

4) Our view, our town is right next to the water and the library relocated to a new building that houses the gym and a hall where concerts etc, are held (I’m actually getting married in that hall which is right next to the library, maybe get some photos in there!) The library has windows everywhere, it is really light and airy as well.

5) There is always a jigsaw on the go near one of the big windows that you can do a wee bit of when you are in!
