I tend to send very near or on the send date, it's just what I do - I work better under the pressure of a deadline. My work doesn't suffer as a result of it - it flourishes :)

I am a 32 year old massage therapist and wife. I live in a little town in a little house along with a little dog, a big cat, and a handsome man. It's a pretty happy little life in rural North Dakota.

Some projects on my 'to try' list are: Bunting banners for home and small banners for cakes, garlands (paper, fabric and pompom), Needle Felting, modern calligraphy, and baking from old cook books.

NO candy or snacks PLEASE! Unless stated in swap requirements - in which case I certainly wouldn't hold it against my partner ...however IF they could replace the sweet treat with something non edible it would be greatly appreciated.

I pledge not to send lame stuff, please do the same.
