I am a 32 year old single mom of 2 boys, ages 7 and 13. I work a graveyard shift in a very large empty building, and have lots of time on my hands to make crafts.

REGARDING SWAPS: Sometimes I forget to mark swaps as sent even though I've sent them already. And sometimes I don't touch the PC for 2-3 days. Also, I always try to get swaps out on time but sometimes life happens. If that is ever the case, I will PM you to give a heads up and explain why.

• If I have not rated you please PM to ask why. I try to rate as soon as I receive but that's not always possible, so I have a very hard time keeping track of what I've rated. Also, along the same lines, if I were unhappy with your swap (which really isn't very likely unless you out and out flaked), I would absolutely PM you before leaving a rating rather than just not rating.
