Bad Bad virus on my computer called "Antivirus soft." Finally able to get on the internet after almost a week of work! Computer isn't running properly still, but now I am able to get on and check messages etc.. Sorry for the delay in response to pm's and things :)

Interested in a one on one swap? PM me :)

Please do not include scented dryer sheets in my swaps, Thank You!

I am the manager of a fun ocean front pub in Nanaimo, BC. I love going to work - the view is great!!

I have 2 super little boys :) Cole is 6 and Lukas is 2 years old. I love seeing how different one is from the other. Lukas is so much crazier than Cole ever was!

We are animal people - Lupita is our Black Lab and we have 4 cats; Randy, Kitty, Cowgirl & Hemingway. One of our cats is a polydactyl - she has 23 toes! We named her Hemingway because we read online that Ernest Hemingway's estate is dedicated to his polydactyl cats. Hemingway Estate website. (I am super careful with swaps though & I've never had a complaint about pet hair.)

I love sewing, and seem to work a lot with felt. I think I like the ability to construct a lot of the items by hand.

I borrowed a binding machine from my Mom and have been eyeing up everything to make into notebooks :)

My favorite color is brown, but any autumn color is fab! (Autumn is my favorite season.)

I am addicted to coffee :( I am a bit of a coffee snob. I enjoy grinding my beans & love dark roast coffee.

I would love to own a dollhouse & would like to make the furniture inside it (only some though.) I wouldn't play with it, but I would love to look at it. I have seen some super Dollhouse kits out there! @cobaltgypsy has reinstilled this desire. She's working on a Witch's Castle & it's too cute! PF Thread about her Castle. Rement would be perfect for this :)

I also like collage, assemblage and all sorts of paper crafting. I am not a scrapbooker (never became interested) but I do enjoy some "scrapbooking" items for collage etc.

Some things that I would enjoy receiving are:

• VW "stuff" - I love my Westy Van and want anything VW themed
• Fabric (cotton preferred & Fat quarters would be super)
• Guterman Thread
• Cone thread in sets of 4 for my serger
• 45mm blades for my rotary cutter
• Vintage trims like rick rack, bias tape, lace etc.
• Stationary with lines on it
• Craft Mag's
• Bento supplies (I make them for my son when he's in school) - especially a bento box band in blue.
• 2 tier Bento
• Beginner's needle felting kit
• Fuseable interfacing
  I ♥ NY Tshirt (size med and up - I want to alter the Tshirt)
• Handmade by you - anything! Sticking with the season, an ornament would be cool!
• I would love a vintage book purse
• goodies for Cole & Lukas
• a treat for Steve
• DIY kits
• Diamond Glaze
• Buttons
• ring blanks
• purses
• Sushi themed items
• Rement
• Dollhouse miniatures / How to's / Books

Incase I have joined a swap for one of the boys, here is some info about them :)

Cole

Cole is 6 and in grade one (french immersion). He's a lefty (so please no right handed scissors etc.) He loves Bento boxes & supplies, coloring, drawing, his DS, figures, Lego!!, Superhero's (TMNT, Batman, Ben 10, Krypto, Superman, Hulk, Thor, Fantastic 4 etc..), Scooby Doo, Spy Kids, movies, reading, candy, chocolate, playing outside, fun straws, puzzles, he loves to cook - I would love kid size tools for him to use. I got Cole an Easy Bake oven for Christmas, so any accessories or mixes would be wicked.

Lukas

Lukas is 2! He LOVES the Backyardigans. I do mean loves! If you were to send him anything Backyardigans he'd love you forever, lol.

He likes to write/draw (only washable felts please, he draws all over everything including himself, lol), He enjoy's stuffed toys, puzzles, dinky cars, books, balloons..you know, pretty much anything :)

Steve

Steve loves tools, gardening, camping, reading, chocolate, sweet treats, maps, magazines, newspapers (Actually we both read the newspapers - I have fun checking out homes for sale / rent and comparing it to here.)

Steve ties flies for Fly Fishing, builds models and likes to carve as well.
