01/02/2018 Update LIFE... That is all.

Me, My name is Corina :::Hi Corina:::, :::Hi Swap-Botters:::..31 year old female, a mother, a wife, lesbian, feminist, die-hard democrat, crafter, people person/people lover. I over analyze everything and I agonize over every single swap I send. I always want to send the perfect item/s. My heart truly does belong to snail mail, I love getting mail with the exception of bills lol! Of course if you ever have any questions regarding things I would enjoy receiving just shoot me a message! I am going to apologize for my profile being so long, I'm a VERY long winded, chatty person. If you ever have the pleasure of communicating with me via email or receiving one of my swaps you will see. =) I'm a happy go lucky, smiling all the time kind of person.

POSTCARD SWAPS

I LOVE NON-TOURISTY POSTCARDS

NON-Touristy postcards please.

Blank and in an envelope, even if the swap states otherwise I would prefer it blank in an envelope only IF its non-touristy. If its a touristy card I perfect it sent written on and naked.

Guaranteed heart for non-touristy, blank, in an envie =) I adore oversized postcards too =)

Brands I like: Happy Bunny, Oceans Sweaty Face, Some Ecards, Uptight All Night, Postcards printed by Chronicle books, PaPaYa Art cards, Cavallini Papers &Co., Cover Art Cards, The Museum of Modern Art, Tushita, DC or Marvel Comics, Pixar, Bruce McCall Serious Nonsense, Where's Waldo, Tales From Terror, Attaboy, Maybe Your Leg Will Grow Back, Ikea, etc. You can find all of these on Amazon to get an idea of my style/likes.

If you recieve a swap from me please don't forget to rate so I know you have received it. If you're considering giving me a negative rating for any reason please message me prior to rating to give me an opportunity to make it right. I will always provide the same courtesy to you! If you haven't received my swap package please email me, I always send early so something may have happened. And if I suspect my package may, for any reason, not arrive on time I will PM to make you aware of the situation.

****I always rate fairly and honestly. If I have given you a negative rating for any reason then we have already spoke via pm. I always pm prior to rating down. Once I have rated you a 3 I will not change it, no amount of intimidation or messaging will change my mind. As for a 1 rating, I will always accept a resend and I will always re-rate once I receive. Thank you for understanding.****

I love swapping and if your my partner and would like some specific sent to you, just shoot me a message. I love making my partners happy....that makes me happy!!

Please don't agonize over what to send me, if my wish list or likes aren't helpful please just message me. I'm happy with most everything. Scrapbooking, Smashbooking, Letter writing, and Journaling are my loves!!! So anything to go with that would make me tickled pink! I'm really very easy going, easy to please.

A Few Dislikes Religious anything I would like blatant propagand, religious or otherwise, especially vintage propaganda. I prefer coffee to tea, but if you have a tea you think may change my mind, send it my way, I will happily try it =) Garbage, please please please don't send me your trash or the trash that someone else sent you. If you choose to send me trash, you will get a message from me and it likely won't be so friendly. No one wants to receive trash (unless that's what the swap is for lol), so please don't send it to me!

Thank you to all of my beautiful swappers, you all have been very kind and welcoming to me and i appreciate that! Happy Swapping Swappers! =)
