About Me

If you can, please use the Ruth Bader Ginsberg SHEro stamp on your envie to me! UPSIDE DOWN also - that way her face doesn't get marked. I really want to receive as many canx stamps of her!

PHOTOs- I take photos of all my swaps & envie's before I send them out - so I will email a copy of the photos if something goes awry or gaga with the US post to verify that I'm not a flaker or flaking. Please let me know if there's a problem and I'll gladly send it again. Thank a Postie for all their hard work for us crafty swappers.

I will contact you if my swap doesn't get there within a reasonable time because I like to know if the time & effort I spent making a treasure made it to you. Unless overseas, then I generally wait 30days or more. But please, do me the CURTSEY of acknowledging my efforts timely.

Aloha! I give ❤️❤️ BECAUSE in a world full of people judging, criticizing, thumbs up/down, like/disliking everything, if someone took the time out of their day to buy a stamp, send a card/note/letter, walk to the mailbox, etc... just to brighten my day, then I am grateful because nobody is forced to do anything they don't want to do.

So thanks in advance for giving of YOUR TIME, spending YOUR money to mail me your special creations. You didn't have to share so that speaks volumes of your character - in my humble opinion...if your dislike list is long, this too says much of your character. I'm here to learn and experience other people, not just "stuff" & "things".

I put a lot of thought & 💕 into sending out your happy mail because I want to bring a smile to your door.

Comment: Love the book pc you included, thank you. I really enjoyed the way you did this swap. It’s super engaging. I laughed about your review of The Women. I’ve heard how great it is right, lol. Why did you keep reading it? At this point in my life I have realized if it sucks in the first three chapters I’m down with it!! Thanks for the additional recommendations. Fun swap Toni. Happy New Year!!
Response: Hiya!! I only read up to chapter 1 then tried to burn the book.(my GR review of this turd has 30 likes so far, lol) But all my bookclubs are talking about reading it this year so I'm on an active campaign to dissuade them if I can. I won't reread it if it gets picked but I will show up to see what they thought of it and then lob my landmines, lol. I hope you have a wonderful and Happy New Year.Thank you for the💜xxMuggleMom

Comment: Thanks so much for sending Joey's breakfast deco to me, Toni...AND my Vintage Halloween homer! Yeah....1+ years for 5 pages in a vintage theme is unbelievable😔. Maybe it's my request for "No Bulky Embellishments, Please!!!) lol

Like, I'm sick to death of xmas and don't want to even look at one right now, There must be 10 on my desk and who knows how many coming my way in the next few weeks, lol!! So happy it made it home to you for sure!! Here's to 2025 seeing more of our art creations come wandering home to us!!xxMuggleMom

Comment: Hi Toni. I received your book today. I love the theme, and the inside cover you decorated. It made me laugh. I'm sorry you really don't care to make new ones...you did a great job.
Response: Lol, I don't know why I dislike making new ones..probably because I know each new deco means the hundreds I already sent out will now take another year to come home, LOL. I hope that deco makes it to Sonya before 2030! I've never received an ICM back and they barely have pages, sigh, smh! Thank you for the💜xxMuggleMom
