About Me

12/21/24 - Hi all! I will be out of town starting Monday, December 23 through Friday, December 27. I will not have access to my mail or computer. I will rate all Happy Mail I receive after December 28, as Saturdays are usually late mail days for some reason. Wishing you all a Very Merry Holiday Season! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

07/08/24 - Hi all! I have rated everything that was received while we were on vacation! Had a blast spending time with the Grandbabies! Our newest one was five weeks old and he is so sweet! Looks just like the men on our side, plus he has blue eyes, so exciting! Thank you for your patience while I was away! ;)


04/22/24 - Hi all! The hubby is having his second knee replacement surgery on Tuesday, April 23, so things may be a tad hectic for a few days. I will do my best to rate timely and ask for your patience with ratings and/or messages. All the best! ;)

01/11/24 - Hi all! I will be out of town January 12-14th and will not have access to my Happy Mail - also the 15th is a US holiday, so no mail that day.

My husband is having knee replacement surgery on January 16, 2024, so things are going to be hectic for several days - I will do my best on getting things rated and commented on ASAP. Please be patient with me, as my hubby is not the best patient, and I am an impatient nurse, so... Prayers for all, please and thank you!! ;)



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 ๐Ÿ˜‰


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: Hello Vicky. I hope you're having fun at your crafting weekend. Thanks for the swap. Of the four cards you sent, one was new to me. The one with all the flowers from Barcelona. It's really pretty. I think it would be challenging watering all those plants at the various heights. Wishing you all the best in 2025.

Response: Hi! Thank you for the kind comment, rating, and heart! If I remember correctly the circus pc was vintage, so not sure if it is still in FL or not. All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: You described exactly how I spent last weekend - we got 5" of snow, which is the first significant amount we've had in a couple of years. I finished the chili for lunch today :)
Response: Hi! What a hoot that our weekend paired so well! LOL! I did enjoy that chili! LOL! Thank you for your fun comment, rating, and heart! Have you all dug out of the snow? We still have about two inches of ice hanging around but tomorrow it is supposed to be in the 50's, so that might help! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: Very cool you had an airplane postcard.( I went the bird route.) Iโ€™m not a fan of flying - not frightened - just hate how cramped it is. Happy New Year!
Response: Hi! I have just a "few" pcs, so have several airplane pcs! LOL! I would have gone the bird route if the airplane had not been handy! LOL! I am short (although too round) and flying is usually not an issue as far as it being cramped but my hubby & youngest are well over 6" tall, so their poor knees taking a beating! Thank you for the nice comment, rating, and heart! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: Thank you for the snowman card with your fun message, snowy PCs, and snowy critters stickers. I can easily picture your dog zooming around in the snow - so fun! I'm with you, it is lovely to look at but not so much into being out in it (shoveling/driving in it).
Response: Hi! I am so glad you enjoyed my Brrrr mail! MGM is really enjoying the snow, now that we have some on top of ice - sigh! It has been an interesting week but I did get out an enjoy life yesterday - yipppeee! LOL! Thank you for the sweet comment, rating, and heart! All the best! Hugs, please stay warm & safe, and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: Thank you for the PC and for sharing your top 3 countries bucket list. :) p.s. The PC was postmarked Aug 1 but boy did it take so very long to get here!
Response: Hi! If only that pc could talk and tell us about its adventures from August until now! Sadly this seems to happen from time to time, not sure if it is a postal machine issue or a person issue - sigh! Thank you for letting me know and for the rating! All the best! Hugs and 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 โ€“ 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 (Iโ€™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!
