About Me

04/12/25 - Hi everyone! I have rated everything that I received while I was out of town! What fun to come home to such great Happy Mail! Hope everyone had a great Happy Mail week! ;)


04/06/25 - Hi all! I will be out of town from Monday, 04/07/25, thru Friday, 04/11/25. I will not have access to my computer or Happy Mail. I will rate everything when I return. Thank you for your patience and understanding! ;)


03/28/25 - Hi all! Had a quick trip to NE to see our youngest son and the Sandhill Cranes - what an adventure! Then Thursday went with friends to a scrapbooking/crafting event - I am a tired but happy gal! LOL! Everything I have received has been rated - if you sent in Feb. and it is not rated yet, there is still hope as I got a couple of pieces today from early Feb., so... if only the mail could tell us its adventures!! Thank you again for your patience, it is appreciated! ;)


03/23/25 - Hi all! I am going to be out of town from Monday, 03/24 through Thursday, 03/27 and will not have access to my computer or Happy Mail! I will catch up on ratings as soon as possible after I am back. Thank you for your understanding and patience! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)


02/13/25 - Hi all! I will be out of town from Friday, 02/14/25 through Sunday, 02/16/25 and then Monday is a federal holiday, so no mail. Our mail will hopefully be delivered on 02/18/25. I will not have access to my computer while away and to the mail until it is delivered. I will catch up on ratings that week. Thank you for your patience! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)


01/21/25 - Hi all! I had a wonderful time at my crafting event - got lots of swaps completed and mailed, yipppeee! Thank you for your patience in me getting stuff rated. Everything I have received has been rated, if there isn't a rating at this time it is not here. All the best and hugs! ;)


01/16/25 - I will be at a crafting event all weekend and will not have access to my mail or computer, then Monday 01/20 is a federal holiday and no mail will be running. I will catch up on everything hopefully between January 21/22 - thank you for your patience and understanding! ;)



We adopted a puppy (Ms. Greta) on March 9, 2021, and I forgot how much work they are! LOL! She is a sweetheart but I am way older than when we have had puppies in the past and my Mom eyes in the back of my head seem to be gone, so I have to watch her like a hawk or she is into stuff! LOL! This too shall pass and I am enjoying her puppy silliness & all the love she has to share! Thanks for your understanding if I get behind on rating or commenting on your ratings! Hugs and Happy Swapping 😉


I am married and have two sons, an awesome DIL and two Grands (a girl and boy), who call me Yaya! I love the thought of scrap-booking and making cards, but have been lacking the energy as of late! Also love reading (murder, mystery, and mayhem!) and meeting new friends through fb or other group sites! Hope I can participate in some of the swaps on this site and make some new friends!

When my oldest son left for college in August 2009, I felt such a void in my life and joined SB in 2010.

I enjoy meeting new people, exchanging cards and pcs with them, as well as going to local scrap booking events and meeting new folks!

So far I have been lucky that any swaps I have signed up for, I have been able to fulfill my obligation. I would hope that would continue.

I am not into drama and will try to send stuff that I think my swap partner will enjoy - however if I miss the mark, well stuff happens! I am very easy going with what folks send me and just look forward to seeing how others respond to the different swaps!

Loves/Likes - My family, Being happy, Hearing kiddos laugh, Being with gal pals, Card making, Meeting new people, Love, love, love to read! The library is one of my favorite places!! The beach, Halloween, Christmas, Birthdays! Soccer, Taking pictures, Being able to help others, Being able to laugh at myself , A clean house (this is a dream of mine but I am a bit of a clutter bug, so...), Traveling, Vacations, Flowers, Learning new things,

Dislikes- Drama when it is not necessary, People that just need to get over themselves, Vacations that do not work out, Kids being disrespectful to their elders and each other, Car problems, Health issues, Feeling like someone has taken advantage of you or someone you care about, Housework! lol

Ratings - I am very good about trying to rate quickly, so if you sent me something and do not see a rating timely, please let me know! Either I did not get the item or it got mixed in with other stuff!! That does happen sometimes!

Swaps

I love all postcards - have a soft spot for vintage postcards but really have not met a postcard I didn't like! LOL!

I would love to receive some cute address labels and could exchange pcs for them! If you can help me out, please send me a pm!

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful postcards! The butterfly looks so spectacular! Thank you so very much! I agree with you about having a tad of a PC addiction! Sometimes I love a PC so much, I want to keep it forever! :)

Comment: Loved the postcard! Tennessee is so much fun, Botanic Gardens are so pretty. I've been to Memphis before and never heard about the Thomas Dambo Trolls, I looked them up online they look so cool! Let's hope they have postcards too! Have a great time!
Response: Hi! I am so glad you enjoyed the pc! I first saw the Thomas Dambo Trolls in CO and now look for them everywhere! The ones in TN are only there until May 21 or 22 - so I am excited we will get to see them as well! Thank you for the sweet comment, rating, and heart! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: Hi Vicky! So good to be swapping with you again 😀 I've never seen bluebells in person, only pictures. They really are quite something! Like you, I love all flowers... they really brighten our lives and landscapes. I tend to lean toward irises, and pansies... and I long to see some yellow forsythia... haven't seen any for 6 years...no forsythia bushes here in FL. Thanks for the great pc. Love the daisies! Hope you've been able to spot those bluebells 🪻
Response: Hi! I have not made it in person to see the bluebells - sigh! We are having lots of rain again and had appointments that keep us home when it wasn't raining - grrr! Flowers do brighten our lives! Our irises are starting to bloom and are so lovely! Thank you for the sweet comment, rating, and heart! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: Thanks for the cool pc - I can never do the 3D trick, ack! Same for me - I wear glasses and have had lenses put in after cataract surgery so it's hard to see anything up close any more!!
Response: Hi! I am glad you enjoyed the pc! I cannot see up close due to cataract surgery as well - sigh! My friend tried it and could get one to work, now I must keep trying! LOL! Thank you for the nice comment, rating, and heart! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: Thanks for sharing! I used to love all the crime procedural shows, but got burnt out on them, though I'll still occasionally watch reruns if I run across them.
Response: Hi! I understand about the crime shows and getting burnt out - sometimes it seems like the same old, same old, but we keep watching them! LOL! Thank you for the comment and rating! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

bowdiv

Reading through your profile, I couldn't help but sense what a wonderfully warm personality and joy for life you have! You seem like such a lovely person, and I'm genuinely amazed at your 5.0 rating over almost 6k swaps! It's clear you have such a passion for this hobby, and it's so sweet that you take the time to respond to your ratings.

I hope you have a wonderful National Compliment Day and that you get the chance to spread some positivity even outside of Swap-bot today! :-)

Thank you for the kind words! I'm starting to think I won't meet a postcard I won't like either - they all have something good about them! Happy swapping!

Happy Holidays!

UKrebel85 on Apr 14, 2024:

Hello, apologies for waiting until last day of the swap. Have been so busy with exams and revision. Here are my answers for LLU: Happy Library Week. Take care, Shel (UKrebel85)

1) The opening hours used to be very minimal but they have now got self check out machines so the library can be open even when it is not manned. It has made such a difference.

2) The staff are lovely, if the book you are looking for is not there they can order it from another library in our council area (our council covers 2,667 sq. miles – we are quite rural!) and it can be there within 2 weeks.

3) The kids section is lovely, comfy and safe so my daughter can sit there and look at books while I go and find something for myself.

4) Our view, our town is right next to the water and the library relocated to a new building that houses the gym and a hall where concerts etc, are held (I’m actually getting married in that hall which is right next to the library, maybe get some photos in there!) The library has windows everywhere, it is really light and airy as well.

5) There is always a jigsaw on the go near one of the big windows that you can do a wee bit of when you are in!
