About Me

Updated September 2025

Please note that I mark sent when my swaps are out of my hands, so it might be postmarked a different date than when I marked it sent.

I will always make good on my swaps. Please let me know if you have any problems with my swaps before rating and I will do the same for you. :)

My user name comes from one of my favorite songs:

Comment: Yowza Batgirl! What a fabulous envelope!! Can’t imagine the goodies inside this chunky monkey won’t be as spectacular as the effort you put into the outside. And the mix of vintage postage stamps is truly the icing on my cake!! Stashing it away til December with anticipation.

OMG, I lost it at the purse. That was so cool, thank you! And all of the extras were awesome and so thoughtful as well. I'm into Teddy Roosevelt as a theme but def need to brainstorm on that one. I want to make you something worthy of the title!

kiwivandal on Apr 14, 2025:

So glad to see you in my new swap! I'll be posting a few more soon :)

Hey there, i'm in the Wes Anderson lovers group with you. I really like your idea for a mini painting swap where we send each other a painting of our a character in the royal tennenbaums. Or something you would see in there house. Would you like to do a private swap with me? I don't think anyone from the group wants to. let me know...Have a good day:)
