About Me

NOTE - I was just in my post office and was informed that one of our regular postal workers is in India for 3 months and that another left to work somewhere else. This is resulting in some of my mail being delayed. Packages shouldn't be a problem as I have to go in the post office to mail those, but anything that I sent out in my actual mail box might not be sorted for a few days. This is going to affect some postmarks so I wanted to make everyone aware of this. From now on I'll be dropping my mail off at the post office to avoid this, but please keep this in mind when you receive my mail.

Thank you!

Hello! My name is Grace and I am so excited to be a part of the Swap-Bot community.

I am 25 years old and I live just outside of Chicago. I work full-time during the week as a nanny for a family with four little girls, and I also have a part time job on the weekends at a rock 'n' roll general store.

Favorite Crafts

I love writing letters and have quite a few pen pals. I always try to make my letters as beautiful as possible. I'm always looking for new penpals too so just ask if you're interested!

I recently ventured into the world of making ATC's and I'm obsessed! Mine are still rather basic but I am learning and experimenting.

I was also given an envelope press and I have been having a blast making envelopes!

COLOR ALL THE THINGS!

I absolutely love to color and am always on the hunt for fun coloring books!

I am OBSESSED with geometric coloring books and/or mandala coloring books.

I'll be happy with anything though, just take a look at my likes and it shouldn't be hard to find something!

Dislikes/Allergies/Ratings

I'm pretty open to anything you want to send me, but I am allergic to pineapple so please save any tea/candy/food/etc. with pineapple in it for someone who will be able to use it. :)

I also don't like SpongeBob Squarepants or any cartoon aimed at adults (Family Guy, The Simpson's, etc...)

I always send my swaps out on time and will message my partner if there's any delay. I won't rate down for a late swap if there is communication before the deadline.

Comment: Grace has always been an excellent partner in the past to me so I am sad to make this rating but she has sent nothing and not been online since August. If she does ever send something I will change to a 3. I know she lost her job and that may have something to do with it.

Comment: Never received anything in June for my birthday, so on June 28th, I contacted TheGraceMartin and she said she would "re-send." However, I never got an email with a tracking code as stated in the rules of the swap from her at all. I've emailed a couple of times and received no response. It's now Nov. 17th and still no swap. FLAKED! *Contact me if you want to change this rating one day to a 3.

Comment: I'm so sorry to rate you a 1, but I haven't received anything. I've messaged you, but it's unread. If I receive the swap I will change my rating!
Response: I will resend right away. I am so sorry about this. I'm at a loss as to what happened to it but I will try and make it up to you.

Comment: I really don't get how this card has anything to do with the Black Widow at all. I thought about giving you a three because of that. However you have been a good swapper with me in the past so I will just let this go. But I am very disappointed with it. I sent you a message and I thought you would maybe explain the card to me but you didn't write back.
Response: Hello! Did you ever get my resend on this ATC?

Comment: The melted witch unmelted! Interesting/creepiest thing ever - the wicked witch atc shows up in my mail TODAY! The envie and your notecard looks like they floated down a river but the atc looks like it has no water damage what so ever! No clue where it has been, literally floating for almost 4 months, maybe it did float here with all the rain. Anyway, I love the green background and gems/brads - really cool! Thanks for sharing your nailpolish technique, too! Thanks for the atc! One last thought - maybe a house landed on her when she passed over Kansas!
Response: That's crazy! I've had so much of my mail go missing recently I can't explain it. I'm glad it made it to you safely though! Thanks for the heart!

Hello

Just letting you know I still haven't received a tracking number or gift from you for the Birthday swap 2015. September is almost over in a few days and I haven't heard anything from you. Hope all is well with you and hope to hear from you soon.

bgailk on Aug 19, 2015:

I'm still waiting for your swap to me for Happy Birthday - 2015 for July. Sure hate to see you become a Flaker.

sweetsugartree on Jul 28, 2015:

Just wanted to leave you a note that if you have re-sent, I still haven't received. Not sure if it's still an issue with the postal service...
