This is how I make my living and support my children. I ship asap so you will receive it asap. I will leave feedback for the buyer as soon as feedback is received.
I try to keep all shipping costs actual and all packages come with insurance for your and my protection. There is a 5 day handling time in case I am on a fabric hunt and will be out of town for a few days.
