A little about me, I enjoy life, happy go lucky and looking to make new friends from all around the world. I have MS so at times its hard for me to get out and about as I get tired easy. Writing to friends I make and exchanging items and also my computer is a great outlet for me. I have 4 lovely Chow Chow Dogs I love. My husband is Peter and he moved to Australia from Barnsley, Yorkshire UK, and misses his home country. He would love to move back to Yorkshire. I am a mother and a grandmother. I love spending time with my grandkids, Angus and Marcus. I love the color purple and burgendy. Autumn is my favorite season, not to hot or to cold, just lovely weather to be outside and enjoy it. It's really a pleasure to receive wonderful mails & postcards (I hate receiving bank statement & bills....urgh really sucks but that's how it should be). In a while all my stress & burden seems to be dissolved. In this case, for whatever reason it is I decided to give all my swap friends a heart when I receive from them. The reason is simple, I am happy :)...you've made my day - I never get bored with what I am doing & I never limit myself to like everything I discover, to me Discovering is learning, Learning is knowledge. I Love penpaling meeting new people. I really love to swap so I am really glad I found this page :-) I always put great care and love into packing the package for you, and I will always make sure as much as I can that I send you only things you will like. I want my package to sweeten your day. I am easily amused and also pretty easy to please. I have a soft spot for animals, especially Dogs and Bears. If you're my swap partner and you're stressed or running late, remember we all came here to have fun. No one joined swap-bot in order to encounter humourless strangers who find human foibles like delays a moral outrage! (Trust me, I've encountered them.) Generally speaking, disputes about craft tend to border on the ridiculous. So if you're running late, just PM me! Openness is key on swap-bot, and I'd much rather know if something was arriving late than wonder if it was happening at all. Life can trip you up on the way to the post office, and so be it. That happens to me, too, and whenever I've told people they've been great. If you haven't received something from me, even granted that it's coming from as far away as Australia, please PM me before rating me a '1', so I can set it to rights.
I definitely want to make sure you're happy with what you get from me! It's what I'm here for. It's what you're here for.
Before I go on, I would just like to say that if you feel that I deserve a rating of 1 or 3 in anything that I have sent you, please I beg you, to contact me first before you rate me, and I promise you, that I will do what it takes to correct what ever it was I have done wrong.
I promise, I will never flake as I won't sign up for anything I cannot commit to. And sometimes, things do get lost in the mail or take longer to get to destination than what the post office promised. So some things maybe out of my control, but please give me a chance to fix something before you rate irrationally.
Therefore in return, I will respect how I rate you, in fact the only thing that will stop me from giving you a 5 is if you totally flake and not send me anything at all, but I promise you will always be given a chance to redeem yourself. One last thing:
Australian Quarantine can be strict in an effort to ward off blights/mites from overseas that we don't already have on our wondrous island nation. One of the upsides: There's no rabies here! One of the downsides: I cannot lawfully accept presents of raccoons. :(
