About Me

12/21/24 - Hi all! I will be out of town starting Monday, December 23 through Friday, December 27. I will not have access to my mail or computer. I will rate all Happy Mail I receive after December 28, as Saturdays are usually late mail days for some reason. Wishing you all a Very Merry Holiday Season! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)


12/02/24 - Hi all! I have rated everything that I have received at this point! What a fun bunch of Happy Mail! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving - we loved spending time with family! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)


11/23/24 - Hi all! I will be out of town starting Sunday, 11/24 until Sunday, 12/01. I will not have access to my Happy Mail or computer - everything will be rated the week of 12/02, as that is when the mail is supposed to be delivered, so... I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, if you celebrate and if you don't, a fun week! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)


11/13/24 - Hi all! I have rated everything that I have received at this time - thank you for your patience while I was out of town! ;)


11/08/24 - Hi all! I am going to be out of town from Saturday, 11/09 thru Monday, 11/11 and will not have access to my mail or computer. All swaps will be rated when I return and have access to stuff. Thank you for your patience! ;)


10/17/24 - Hi all - we are back and I have rated everything that was received while I was on vacation! Thank you for your patience! ;)


10/12/24 - Hi all! I will be out of town from Sunday, Oct. 13 until Thursday, Oct. 17. I will not have access to my computer or Happy Mail - I will rate everything that is received once I return home. Thank you for your patience! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)


09/25/24 - Hi all! I have rated everything that I have received while out of town - if it is not rated, it has not made it to me yet! Thank you for your patience! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)


09/20/24 - Hi all! I will be out of town from Saturday, September 21 until Wednesday, September 25. I will not have access to my Happy Mail or computer. I will rate everything upon my return, as well as return any pms. Thank you! ;)


09/13/24 - Hi all! I have rated everything that has been received this week - if it is not rated, I have not received it yet. All the best and Happy Swapping! ;)


09/05/24 - Hi all! I will be out of town from Friday, September 6-Sunday, September 8 and will not have access to my Happy Mail or computer. If you have questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out to me after Sunday. Thank you! ;)


07/08/24 - Hi all! I have rated everything that was received while we were on vacation! Had a blast spending time with the Grandbabies! Our newest one was five weeks old and he is so sweet! Looks just like the men on our side, plus he has blue eyes, so exciting! Thank you for your patience while I was away! ;)


04/22/24 - Hi all! The hubby is having his second knee replacement surgery on Tuesday, April 23, so things may be a tad hectic for a few days. I will do my best to rate timely and ask for your patience with ratings and/or messages. All the best! ;)


03/21/24 - Hi all! I will be out of town on March 22-24 and will not have access to my Happy Mail. I will rate everyone the following week and/or respond to messages. Thank you for your understanding! ;)


01/11/24 - Hi all! I will be out of town January 12-14th and will not have access to my Happy Mail - also the 15th is a US holiday, so no mail that day.

My husband is having knee replacement surgery on January 16, 2024, so things are going to be hectic for several days - I will do my best on getting things rated and commented on ASAP. Please be patient with me, as my hubby is not the best patient, and I am an impatient nurse, so... Prayers for all, please and thank you!! ;)



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 😉


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: Thanks for the extra stickers! I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday! We didn’t decorate this year but I wrapped the boys presents. I don’t send Christmas cards but I do send out thank yous to any we receive. I too love happy mail. However, I’m not the best paper crafter and haven’t invested any $ in materials in quite a while. So I’ve been selective in which swaps I join so I’m sure I have supplies. Anyway, happy holidays and happy swapping!

Comment: Thank you for the Golden Gate Bridge PC. I have not been there that I can remember. I was in CA when I was a toddler with my Mom but then I ended up with my Dad and never went back. I would love to visit there some day as I do have relatives in CA. As for postcards I used to get them at the rest areas on the turnpike by Topeka and Lawrence but I don't know what they have now as Loves has taken over the operation of them. In town there are not very many places but one is called Rally House. They sell sport items like tshirts and souveniers but they have a couple of racks of PCs. Also the capital gift shop has capital cards, and Ward Meade park has a general store that is like a gift shop and they have pcs. The last few years they have got harder to find.

Comment: What?! There is another Who gives a scrap store?!? I go to the one in Colorado springs a couple times a month and it’s my happy place.
Response: Hi! I think my DIL could be mistaken, when I looked on-line I didn't find anything, but... If I get updated info, I will let you know - it is also my happy place and I could spend hours there, although I really never "NEED" anything! LOL! All the best! Hugs, Happy Swapping, and Happy Holidays to you & yours! ;)

Happy Holidays!

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!
