catnipitis

FYI:. I will be out of town from 12/23 until 12/30. I'll be able to sign in but I won't be able to rate for any swaps I received during this time. I'll do so after I return home. Please bear with me!

I love food and love to experiment. There are a few things I'm not willing to eat or try though! No seafood, offal (brains, kidneys, hearts, livers etc.),nothing Andrew Zimmern would eat or escargot, but other than that I think I'm pretty open minded! I love my iced coffees. I'm also big into hot cocoa. I usually have a bottle of water handy and I love to use the single crystal light (or others) packets.

I also am into RPGs (role playing games) such as D&D, CyberPunk, Star Trek and Star Wars.

I love animals...I'm mostly a cat person, but I like dogs too.

I love all colors--but jewel tones are my favorites!

I love my planners. Yes, planners, plural. I have one I use for my date/address book--for appointments and addresses, One I keep for random notes (from meetings and inspirational stuff). They are both 3 ring, using roughly 5x8.5 pages etc. I love decorating my pages!

I'm into scrapbooking, junk/smash journals, rubberstamping and card making! So I love to get things like stickers, card stock, rubber stamps, ribbons and stuff like that!

Contemplating expanding my horizons and maybe start getting into ATCs and Art Journals.

I like almost all kinds of music. The only things I'm not really into is Big Band and Opera.

I'm really big on 80's music right now

Some of my favorite authors include: Dan Brown, Daniel Silva, Vince Flynn just to name a few!

I love anything on the Food Network and Cooking Channel. I also watch all NCIS shows, Hawaii 50,Blue Bloods, Elementary and a few others

I have a ton of movies in my DVD collection...Action, Adventure, Comedies, Anime, a silent one or three. Like my taste in music, I like just about any movies!

I will rate accordingly and the same day I receive. If you haven't received a rating, it probably means I haven't received the swap yet. Please see ALL comments in this section.

I only mark my swaps as sent when: For snail mail: 1. It is picked up by the mail carrier, 2. It is dropped in the mail box or 3. It is taken by a postal worker at the post office.

For e-mail: 1. Only marked as sent after I press send.

If for some reason you don't receive something from me (heaven forbid it actually gets lost!) please message me before rating.

On email swaps, check your spam folder, it may have been delivered there.

If I am going to be late in sending out any swaps, I'll let you know. I try to send early, but sometimes life happens. I'm pretty good about getting swaps out in a reasonable time period.

On anything international: if it was sent to me, I'll allow extra time to receive it; if it was sent from me, please extend the same courtesy.

I also understand that weather happens. Snow storms, floods, hurricanes etc. happen! Sometimes the mail is delayed because of weather. Again, allow a little extra time!

I will communicate with my partner(s). If I haven't received anything, I'll message with a query before rating. Communication is key--both ways. Again, I'll rate accordingly.

PLEASE BE FAIR AND RATE!!! I take the time and effort to put together a nice swap for my partner(s). I should at least receive a rating...Is that too much to ask for? It also lets me know that you actually got what I sent.

I Didn't want to do this part (but better here on my profile and not in a flakers/non-raters group.

2018. Awaiting a rating from Tam2016 for April 2018 journal swap.5/7
