UNKNOWN RECEIVED SWAP: Hi swap partners/tag partners.

I have received a swap from "CM" in Grand Rapids Missouri. There was no card/note/letter or info to say which swap it was, or who the sender was. (apart from "CM" which was above the address. It was an envelope of marine themed items. Please message me if this was you. I will keep looking through my tags that i've joined but currently can not work it out.

Swap partners - I would really appreciate if you include a note with your swap to make it a bit more personal.

I have just re-joined swapbot after a 7 year hiatus. I am so excited to begin swapping again!

My name is Brigitte.

I am a 38 year old early childhood teacher and nanny from New Zealand. I live with my husband and our dog Ruby who is a spoodle.

We are currently knee deep in our IVF journey, working towards having a longed for baby of our own. We have two small nephews who are my world. I would love to hear from anyone experiencing infertility.

I love the outdoors and beautiful things. I enjoy going for walks in the mountains, on the beaches and beside the rivers near where I live.

I love sending and receiving snail mail and packages. I find a lot of joy in creating swap bot packages and work really hard to create something special and personalised for you! I will always try to send items to your taste!

I am very relaxed and would be over the moon with anything I receive! (especially anything hand made by YOU!).

I will always appreciate hand written letters or notes or even a list you've written with your swaps! I love to hear all about my swap partners or why you chose/sent the items you included etc. (who wouldn't love to receive a letter over a 'here's the swap' note!).

I ensure that I always send my swaps out on time, please contact me if there is any problem with a trade. Postage from New Zealand can take a little longer to arrive.

Please note that in New Zealand we are 17 hours ahead of swap bot time so sometimes when I post my items on the deadline date they are post marked a day later because we are a day ahead. Please realise this is still within the swap bot deadline! :-)

Please email me if there are any problems! I will gladly help/respond.

Have a beautiful day! :-)
