*** Another FYI ****

I found very large batch of ATC's for about Mid-Dec to Mid-January on the floor of my boyfriend's truck, I decided I'd better make sure they were still ok....Luckily (relatively speaking) I opened a couple and saw that all the ink, glitter, paint, whatever had turned into a big mess (I just looooooove the frozen MN winters)....

Anyway, I usually make doubles of all my ATC's so, luckily (literally speaking) they are mostly ready to go....I try to do everything "in bulk" so I haven't mailed out the "replacements" yet. I will very soon - and include some fun extras...

I'm very sorry. I hope you like the ATC's - they are coming from MN and will be sent soon - probably tomorrow. I'm finishing the final steps and gathering goodies to include to make up for the delay. I really like them - I hope you do too.

Again, lots of apologies...

My mailbox was frozen shut till a couple days ago - I KNOW I have several swaps to rate. and I will ASAP!!!! I just got a new lock/keys and I have a VERY large bundle of mail to sort through, so ratings are coming soon!!!!! Thank you all for understanding!!!!

Hello everybody,

I lost track of my swaps....I feel very terrible about it and hate to make excuses....but the truth is, in the past year I've:

• Lost my cat
• Lost my job
• My town house flooded (on x-mas!)
• Lived in a cold, damp, cement house till the end of March
• My father died of cancer
• AND I'm still unemployed...

So yeah....life's been rough, hence my low rating :/ . I really miss Swap Bot, though! You'll see that I have a lot of 5's and ♥'s in my history and I look forward to getting more!!!

I've contacted everybody who gave me a 1 - I am doing my best to get caught up!

Please contact me if I owe you anything - and make sure you include your address! All the swaps are closed so I can no longer access that information!!!

♥ - Amy

I've been trying nearly everything lately! Painting, collage/assemblage, needle felting, embroidery, ATC's, soldering, photography, scrapbooking, polymer clay, etc etc etc! I can't seem to settle on any one craft to "master."

I'm 28 - 29 on December 9th.

I live in a Minneapolis suburb with my dog Bailey. Bailey is a Toy Australian Rat Poo (aka scruffy little mutt).

I'm currently unemployed and getting pretty sick of it. It WAS a blessing in disguise since my dad ended up getting very sick and ultimately dying....I couldn't imagine working AND dealing with that....

I have a BA in English from the U of MN and am currently on an indefinite leave of absence from law school...

I've been described as "weird and quirky," "cheeky," and "cute like a manga-style woodland creature." I'm whimsically random and the best hula hooper I know.
