As of today, 10/20/2017, I have put a halt on my swap-bot swapping, except for electronic swaps because there has been a decrease on income in the household. I'm still following through on my recent thrift store swap. I'm working on finding that perfect find.

If you're on Twitter I just joined in Nov 2015.

     I'M OPEN TO ONE ON ONE SWAPS

I don't like....PLEASE do not send Thank you!

FLAVORS-Yuck to

• peppermint
• coconut
• cherry

SCENTS I can't stand

• vanilla
• pine
• lavendar
• roses (Unless they are natural essential oils.)

FOOD I think taste gross

• tea ( I like iced tea but not hot tea too much) Please, no tea bags
• instant coffee. Please, no coffee unless it is a bag or can for my coffee maker or K-cups for my Keurig. Lol. Just kidding. That would make my month though😉I don't drink instant coffee even if it is the only coffee available. I'd rather drink water.

BOOKS I don't like to read. I find them boring.

)

MISC I don't care for

• religious items
• fairies
• gothic
• skulls
• I do not knit, crochet or sew
• atc's
• Kawaii

• liars
• drama
• flakers
• spiders
• ocean & sharks and ships- swimming in an ocean terrifies me because I'm afraid I'll be attacked by a shark. Going on a ship does not interest me at all because then I think of the Titanic or the stories I have heard of someone disappearing from their ship cruise. It is a mystery how that happens. No thank you. I think I'll pass on going on a cruise ship EVER.
• late sends-if you're going to be late sending, please message me and let me know, otherwise, I will rate a 3 because you did not communicate with me and let me know. Even if it is just going to be sent a few days late I'd like to know, please. If I get your envelope and I realize it was sent late, and I got no message from you saying so, then you most likely will get a rate of 3 because you did not communicate. However, I might feel like giving you a 5 but no heart and get a comment about it being late. It really depends on the day and if I'm in a good or bad mood on the day I received it. Most likely it will be a 3 though. Communication is very important to me. I hope you understand?. So, please just take a few minutes and send me a message stating that it will be send late and a reason. Thank you.

I love all kinds of postcards except please,

Please....No to.....

• religious

• gothic

• people that are naked or barely wearing clothes

• bugs of any kind except ladybugs: I love ladybugs

• spiders

I'll list my favorites, but I'm open to lots of varieties for my collection and if it turns out that I do not like it then I can use it in a swap if I know they will enjoy it.

I like to join postcards swaps where they are stamped and written on or blank and stuck in an envelope.

STORE BOUGHT-I like naked and stamped or unused and put in an envelope. I have bought mine from stores, ebay, garage sales/thrift stores, however I can find them.

HANDMADE-photo or cloth are the only kind I have seen, so those are my favorite, but I'm open to receiving any type of handmade.

My favorites are....

• funny

• horses

• pegasus

• cartoon

• tigers

• mountains

• waterfalls

• hot air balloons

• celebrities

• animals (include sea creature, four or two legged or wings, etc)

• postcards from zoo, museum, Disney World, etc....place you visited

• nature

• postcards with a city or state written on it

• landmarks: examples are statue of Liberty, Niagra Falls, Eiffel Tower, etc...touristry. Can be any landmark at all

• patriotic

• Christmas

• Halloween

• other countries-Any countries

• Swap-bot

• colorful

• free ads

• rainbows

• peacocks

You do not have to send me a favorite because I do like many different themes so the favorite list is just if you need help and not sure what to send me. All that I ask is do not send me something from my No list. Thank you!

Here is how I added my photos if you don't know how and you want to decorate your profile.

instructions on adding photos (for members if the need help)

• ! [image] (http://www.brothersandsisters.co.uk/blog/wp-content/hi-5.png)

• copy and paste this into your comment section, just leave out the spaces so after ! and before [image] do a backspace and same for the other space.

• you have to start the markdown with a ! exclamation point and put the word image in brackets [image] and the image URL between these things ( )

• to find a photo, go to google type in what you want and browse images.

• right click an image and it says copy image URL or image GIF you can do gif if its a moving pic. so copy that, bring it to your profile for a trial run (make sure it looks good and fits the space for comment section. you can delete it after. If you wanna share that image w/ many after you get it typed/pasted in just click copy and that way you dont have to enter all the stuff over

International cost too much plus it takes longer to receive items so I only do flat envelope swaps. I do U.S.A. swaps of any kind. Thanks for understanding

===================================

I thought it would be helpful to post the swap-bot rating rules on my profile.

What are the rating criteria?

There are only three different rating criteria:

1. I got my stuff and it met posted swap requirements (5 points)

2. I got my stuff, but it didn't meet the posted swap requirements (3 points)

3. I never got anything (1 point).

Keep in mind that you are NOT rating your partners on whether or not you liked what you received, only on if it met the requirements of the swap. The fun thing about swaps is that you never know what you are going to get, and that means that sometimes you may not be thrilled with what you receive. Also, remember that everyone (including the person you are rating) can see who you are and what ratings and comments you gave. It is important to rate participants honestly, but it is also good to be kind even if you have to give someone the lowest rating.
