About Me

I live in central Oregon with my husband, daughter and 6 pets (2 dogs, 1 cat, 2 house rabbits, and an iguana that we're babysitting for a few months). My daughter was born in March 2007 so I'm learning to parent a toddler right now. I love crafting! My favorites are knitting, sewing, paper crafts, jewelry making and floral design.

Favorite Music

Right now Feist is my favorite, I also have been listening to Cat Power, KT Tunstall and country a lot. I like pretty much something in every genre, I'm not picky. :-)

Favorite Books

White Oleander, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, the Little House on the Prarie series (I read them all at least once a year). I love my craft and knitting books too!

Favorite Movies

Amelie, Under the Tuscan Sun, Memoirs of a Geisha, Girl with a Pearl Earring, Lost in Translation, Anne of Green Gables, Gone With the Wind, You've Got Mail, Marie Antoinette, Chicago, Frida

Favorite Television

John and Kate Plus 8, Little People Big World, America's Next Top Model, Project Runway, Grey's Anatomy

Favorite Crafts

Knitting, sewing, paper crafts (card making, collage, etc. - I love pretty paper), jewelry making, baking, flower arranging (I'm a florist). I'm always up for trying something new, I've tried lots of different things but the above are the things that have stuck. I am a sucker for pretty prints whether it's fabric or paper, I love color, I love little vintage embellishments - buttons, sequins, beads, ric-rac, you name it. My favorite things to make have a little touch of modern, lots of vintage, and pretty color combinations.

Favorite Things

Things that sparkle, sweets, vintage - especially things from the 20s through the 50s, flowers, cute Japanese things, pretty craft books and magazines, yarn or fabric in natural fibers (cotton, wool, alpaca, silk, etc.), polka dots, anything that's sweet and pretty.

Things for my Daughter

My daughter just turned one, so any toys that are appropriate for one-year-olds would be great! She loves animals - especially dogs, cats and rabbits.

Favorite colors/color combos

Light pink and aqua blue, Pink (any shade except neon), Blue (any shade), Green (pale, grass, shades found in nature), Lavender, "Ocean" colors - beach glass, water, sand, driftwood, etc.

Wish list

I would really, really love any Japanese craft books or craft magazines - used or past issues are great too! They're hard to get around here. The only ones I have are a May 2008 issue of Cotton Time and The Cute Book by Aranzi Aranzo.

Comment: Hello Amanda, I have had your "GHI Matchbox" for a little while, but have been slow in getting ratings done. So, today I am spending some time getting ratings caught up. I am proudly going to be adding your matchbox you designed and created for me for this swap. I like the varied goodies you stored inside the matchbox and I know I will be able to use the goodies for other swaps, other creative projects, and my own personal projects. I also really like the presentation of the matchbox, the outside of the matchbox. I have a special container I keep all my matchboxes in and yours will be getting a space in this special container. I hope we get to meet on future swaps. I would be happy to be your partner either the giving partner or the receiving partner. Until we meet again, Happy Summer!!! Barb sleepingrover2010 P.S. I love the little Swap-bot cards you include in your packages. How did you make them? I am curious.
Response: Hi and thanks for your nice comments on the matchbox I made! :) I always love making those. What did the Swap-bot card in my package look like? I have a couple different ones I use sometimes.

Amanda, thank you so much for sending me 3! brandnew Magazines for my August Wishlist! What wonderful inspiring magazines you chose! I so wished for the Studio Issue of CPS but never expected someone would send me a Mag that is just out and quite expensive, too! And you did send three Magazines! Still can't believe I'm so lucky! Thank you so much! Hope you will get a bunch of wishes granted!

Hello!

You can't imagine how happy I am. Your package was wonderful!Everything you sent is great, I love the skeins, the cards, the handmade bag, everything! And the most important thing is that you weren't my original partner but sent it anyway. ANGEL is the best word to describe a partner like you. Many many many many many thanks!

Bye from Argentina

Celes :)
