About Me

hello everyone Hope all of you are having a great day. It doesn't seem possible that I have been on Swap-Bot for 10 yrs.

A little bit about myself. I'm working on becoming retired but it doesn't look promising anytime soon SS is just not enough to live on so I'll be working until the day I die. They will have to hold off on my funeral until I finish my shift. I work two part time jobs. I work 20 hrs at Walmart in the apparel department most of the time. I also work 5 days a week at FedEx scanning packages and some times loading trucks for delivery. I'm getting to old for that job because it is pysical.
I have been swapping and pen paling for around 50 yrs so I'm definitely not a newbie in the pen paling, swapping world.

I have three children and two grandchildren. Sarah is 36, married and has the two grands, aged 7 and 9. She is a stay at home mom at the moment. Mary, unmarried, is 34 and works at a hospital . David just turned 30 and just got out of the Navy. He has some disabilities due to service and is going to school right now. I also own 6 cats. Yep six of the furry little creatures. All of them are were strays except for my son's and he came from the pound. Sparta ended up being mine when David went to the Navy. Some day I would like to foster cats.

My main hobby at this time is making ATCs and doing ATC jams. I am no where near being an artist but ATCs are a stress reducer for me. I have collected of 500 ATCs since I have started making them and ran out of space for the binders so now I just store them in a bin. I do look through them periodically, they give me peace. Weird I know. I have been involved in several hobbies over the years and collected several things but during the last few years I have purged a lot of them. Today I collect paper dolls and I have for many yrs. I still have some I had as a kid. Did you know there actually is a paper doll convention? I also collect Tammy dolls and family and metal doll houses from the 40s - 70s.

I join several random swaps and some of my partners have requested that I give them a better idea on what to send. I really like the surprise when you open the envelope so I will appreciate anything and if I can't use it I will pass it on.
So here are some items that I use mostly:

Any type of mostly flat embellishments that can be used on ATCs, scrapbook paper any holiday papers or embellishments, used stamps or unused. bookmarks anything vintage die cuts in 3s to use on ATC jams stamped images in 3s to use on ATC jams Anything cat related or animal Anything Fall or Thanksgiving I am not picky by any means as stated before if I get something I can not use I will send it on to someone else. Hope that helps you out a bit but remember no stress, I will appreciate anything.

Extras are not necessary in swaps but appreciated.

Please let me know if you don't receive a swap from me before rating. If I am going to be late for a swap I will PM you. If you are going to be late for a swap please PM me. I am very understanding and I do not automatically rate a 3 or 1 for late swaps if you keep in contact with me, so take a breath and relax.

Comment: Another set of Christmas wonder! I LOVE the layering and dimension of the Xmas tree coin...it's so pretty, and tricky to get just right, which you have done just right! As you did, I send my best wishes for a beautiful Christmas full of love, good food, and happy people. With all that, how can we go wrong?

Comment: Vicky, your coins are absolutely delightful. I love seeing your name on the envelope...I know it's going to be wonderful inside! Quite honestly, the best part of this year-long swap hasn't been the coins, and I've received some great Christmas coins! It's getting to know you and Sandra better, and the feeling that we are more than swap partners...we're friends. I thank you sincerely for that!

I just read your profile and I want to say you are one of the most amazing partners I've ever had. I love your attitude and good nature and I look forward to sending you your swap. I hope it is pleasing to you. God Bless and thank you for the great attitude you have. I hope you don't mind but the way you worded some of your profile (mostly about your attitude) I'd like to borrow some of the wording so I can sound as amazing as you. Have a safe and happy holiday.........ginny
