About Me

JULY - AUG

I'm around to send swaps but rating for your swap(s) might be a few days off...


“know that the people who live the longest and the richest lives are looking ahead and not behind.”

― William Shatner, Up Till Now


Do you love purple💜, come purple out with us:

Purple Craze group

PHOTOs- I take photos of all my swaps & envie's before I send them out - so I will email a copy of the photos if something goes awry or gaga with the US post to verify that I'm not a flaker or flaking. Please let me know if there's a problem and I'll gladly send it again. Thank a Postie for all their hard work for us crafty swappers.


Owl Post

I will contact you if my swap doesn't get there within a reasonable time because I like to know if the time & effort I spent making a treasure made it to you. Unless overseas, then I generally wait 30days or more. But please, do me the CURTSEY of acknowledging my efforts timely.

Aloha! I give ❤️❤️ BECAUSE in a world full of people judging, criticizing, thumbs up/down, like/disliking everything, if someone took the time out of their day to buy a stamp, send a card/note/letter, walk to the mailbox, etc... just to brighten my day, then I am grateful because nobody is forced to do anything they don't want to do.

So thanks in advance for giving of YOUR TIME, spending YOUR money to mail me your special creations. You didn't have to share so that speaks volumes of your character - in my humble opinion...if your dislike list is long, this too says much of your character. I'm here to learn and experience other people, not just "stuff" & "things".

I put a lot of thought & 💕 into sending out your happy mail because I want to bring a smile to your door.

Comment: Thank you so much! Your handmade envelope is awesome; I really love the way the top folds in. Such an awesome use of recycled paper! And your book clubs are so cool! Bookopoly is a genius idea. I need to see if the Chicago Libraries have anything like that! Now onto your books, awesome reference because I actually haven't read or heard of any of them! So, thank you!! Happy June Reading :)
Response: Thank you for the kind words. I love making those envies - especially with recyclable paper. It was a video on what to do with ugly paper I saw once but now I can't find. I hope you find a bookopoly in your library system. My new cards are "Read a book recommended by a librarian" & "Watch a movie based on a book" Thank you for the💜xxMuggleMom

Comment: Hi Toni-Yes it seems our names are magnetized together lately in the computer!! This is definitely an odd theme!! Now I’m torn between the one I had picked out for this swap or passing this one on!! I like the way you did your page with the vellum!! I sure do remember those zoom calls!!! LOL!
Response: That COVID deco was fun and I had to think of something that wasn't already done. I bet you will figure out a great page to put down. I would love to see how that ends up - I hope they post pics somewhere.Thank you for the💜xxMuggleMom

Response: I love those quirky postage stamps and I'm glad that they will be treasured by the person who gets that deco. I know she will love them! Until the next deco swap - Thank you for the💜xxMuggleMom

Thanks for including these packages of kool-aid along with the non-touristy postcard train. They will make for a good refreshing drink this pm since we have some hot temps right now - with the humidity 86 fahrenheit.
