Notes & Updates
- 08/16/20 - cleaned up my profile, hadn't swapped in a while
I had two profiles, which I know sounds sketchy. I just want to be honest about it:
- I joined Swap-Bot in 2012 under a pseudonym (Chrysothème A.) but didn't join any swaps. This profile had no ratings yet.
- I came back in April 2017 & accidentally created another profile @berlingotiere with my real name & an alternate address. I had forgotten about the first profile I made. I still didn't join any swaps, so therefore had no ratings, but realized my mistake on 04/23/17 as I tried to correct the alternate address to the original one. I contacted admin to see what to do about this.
- 05/06/17 - I still haven't heard from admin about merging my profiles yet. I had already joined some groups with the second profile but am hesitant to join swaps until I clear up this confusion. I intend to keep @chrysotheme and delete @berlingotiere
- 05/07/17 - I deleted the @berlingotiere profile.

Thank you so much for the tea in the 3 tea tags forum game. I tried the Black Forest Cupcake tea today and it was so good.
Just received your glitter washi roll, thank you so much!! I really like it :)
Thank you for the very generous pencil case RAK! It was very sweet of you and I love everything!
Oh my goodness...ββTHANK YOUββ...for the sweet pencil box of goodies! It was so fun to open and see everything you packed in there. I shared a few things with my daughter (19yo kawaii/Pusheen lover and pen/pin aficionado) and we tried the candy together---which we've seen at our local Asian market but have never gotten around to trying before (it's good!). You made our week! Thanks again for spreading some joy. π
Hi! I am one of your swap partners for the zine swap! A fellow swapper just informed me that I forgot to put my name on the envelope! Ah! Your "Chicago" zine is from me :)
The pick 2 tag arrived this week! Loved the t3 tea bags, 5 notebooks and 3 bookmarks! Thank you! Loved it
Thanks for the 3 Hot Drinks with a Twist Tag. Loved the hot chocolate and teas, looking forward to give them a try! I'm also loving the Alice in Wonderland sticker stamps, thanks!!
