While I've loved all the things I've received from exchanges, I thought I was pretty vague and probably made exchanging with me not all too simpe. So to fix that here are some examples of things that don't tickle me pink:

Glitter Stickles Bling Overly pink and ruffly anything Overly baby blue and ruffly anything Disney or Cartoony craft stuff Twilight
