About Me

I'm a visual artist and writer. I love cats. I like to read horror books. The Legend of Zelda owns a good portion of my heart. I like soft colors and pastels. Things involving animal friends are always welcome! I love deer and owls and Siamese cats. Anything to do with Ancient Egypt.

Music: Prince. Depeche Mode. Bright Eyes. A Fire Inside. Placebo. Michael Jackosn. A Perfect Circle. I have a weakness for 90's rock and 80's 'goth.'

Swaps

I always send my swaps and always put effort into reading profiles and making each swap fun for my partner and sharing any profile goodies, if I have them. If I suspect there will be a delay in my sending a swap, I will always notify my partner in advance. If you do not receive a swap from me, please message me first before rating so we can figure out if it got lost in the mail or what have you. If you don’t receive a rating from me within good time please let me know. I try to not give out any 1 ratings without contacting the person first. I live with multiple people and we get lots of mail so it may have gotten lost around the house, please let me know so that I can be sure I received your swap.

HAPPY SWAPPING

Comment: I rec'd 3 handmade envies-w/ no prepaste to seal for use-& 1 3"x3" soiled stitched heart "left over from a Valentine's Day project" That's it!?!? Doesn't impress me much . . .
Response: First of all, pre-pasting the envelopes was not a part of the swap requirement. All of my envelopes were very well made, eco-friendly, and sent with your color preferences in mind. As for you issues with the profile surprise aspect, I guess I must have misunderstood what " * embroidered anything *" meant under your THINGS I LOVE section. Most people would interpret that to mean anything that was embroidered. My bad. And I’m not exactly impressed with your attitude, so I guess we’re even.

Comment: I really like the reuse to make your own envelope. Very creative. I just made the tea and look forward to sipping it on such a cold and rainy day in Chicago. Thank you very much for the wonderful swap. Happy swapping, Socorro
