UPDATE 08/29/2011 I will be leaving the swap-bot world, and the regular world in general for 2 months. I will be completely out of contact for that time and will NOT be able to currently fufill my swap requirements. I will return around the end of October and at that time will resume swapping and clean up the mess i made. i am sorry if this makes me a flaker, but it is 100% out of my control and I have to leave for the 2 months. I'm sorry.

For those of you who don't know my story, let me explain. I was a member of swap-bot for almost a year when some things happened in my marriage, with my husband, and I had to leave. We divorced but not before some very traumatic things took place that left me without a job, or a home. Now that things have settled down in my life I have came back to the amazing world of swap-bot. When I returned September 1st 2010 I was faced with 16 one ratings for swaps I had flaked on. i will admit it, I was a flaker! I really wanted to be apart of swap-bot again tho, so I worked hard and made up EVERY swap that I had flaked on. You'll notice that I currently have 3 ones still. These swaps HAVE been sent out and most likely received, but for whatever reason these people do not want to change my ratings, even with the help of @VivaLaDiane Obviously because some swaps were sent out almost a year after the due date people rated me a three, which is perfectly fine. I do not intend to ever flake again, and have learned to not get in over my head and to handle things different in the future. If you have concerns about me joining a swap you are hosting, please send me a message and we can talk, but assure you that I will not be flaking on anything in the future. I want to thank everyone for understanding and for giving me a chance to come back and make up for past mistakes and take part in the amazing world that is swap-bot once again! :)

My name is Jessica, I am 25 years old and I live in a small town in northern California, United States. I work full time as an office manager of a nationally known fire and water restoration company and I love my job. I have taught myself everything I know in the office department and managed to avoid college and still be successful.I recently got divorced from a US Marine after being married for a little over 2 years... It was a really hard time in my life, and I miss my old life every single day... I just moved into a new house and for the first time in along time i am really truly on my own. I love spending time with my family, I love writing, reading, letters and postcards. I love being outdoors, camping, riding quads, boating, tanning, volleyball, anything at all really! And I have recently became addicted to Tea, all tea, hot tea, iced tea, just tea. I am finding out there is so much more to it than I thought! I love tea!!!

I really enjoy it, and am enjoying the new craft hobbies that I am learning via swap-bot. Who knew there was all of this craftyness out there to learn.

~I am currently addicted to anything and EVERYTHING Zebra print. Litterly, everything I own is becoming or can be zebra print. ~Also in love with the color PINK! If you are looking for something to send me, pink is always a safe bet! ~ STARS!! I love anything and everything with stars on it!!! ~I love scrapbook paper, all kinds, all shapes, all sizes, everything about it. ~ I have no fancy writing paper or stationary at all and am having a heck of a time finding it around here. I would love to collect more, as I am gaining many new penpals. ~ I love all thing black and white. Not just zebra print, but all things black and white in general. ~ I love sayings, all kinds of sayings, funny ones, thoughtful ones, encouraging, all kinds of things that have little sayings. I have lots of them framed and hung around my house. ~ I love all things tropical. Palms trees, flowers, flip flops, anything that has a tropical vibe to it. ~ I love stickers, have quiet a collection already but you can never have too many. ~ I love all things military. ~ I love penguins, I think they are the cutest little creatures on earth and would own one if it were legal. ~ Love good books and good movies. I am a sucker for a heart tugging romance. ~ I love things that smell good. Whether it be candles, or air fresheners or oil diffusers, anything really that smells good. ~All Tea!

Or anything else that you want to send me! :)

I may not send the second partners are assigned on every swap, but I will send before the deadline unless I PM you and explain why. If you haven't gotten my swap, and haven't heard from me, please let me know, something could have gone haywire. I also want to state that if you are out of the country, my post office has a really really hard time getting things to you in a timely manner, so please allow me a little more time, or PM me. Also, I am far from the most experienced Swapper around, but I am not a newbie either, I have learned alot of lessons. I would like to extend my help to newbies out there. I would love to help by doing private swaps to get ratings up. Please PM me if you are a newbie and want my help! :)
