***PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO THE UNEXPECTED DEATH OF MY MOTHER ON JULY 16th, I AM TEMPORARILY BEHIND IN A FEW SWAPS. (July 20/07)

***update: I do sincerely apologize to people who are waiting to receive swaps from me. My life has been seriously turned upside down, and I've been having a very hard time emotionally - real life stuff (including swaps) has suffered. I want to let people know that I am currently making stuff and packaging up swaps to be sent out as soon as I can - you have my word that no one will be 'flaked' upon - I'll do my best to make sure that the awesomeness of the swap package helps to balance out the lateness. I also apologize for not having the time to answer emails/messages from everyone, but rest assured, there will be no flake-age. Thank you. (August 31)
