Amber

I'm married with a beautiful baby girl. I love kayaking, crafts, the color orange, the color green, reading, dark chocolate, Star Trek, and video games.

I do not flake!!! If for some reason you do not receive a swap from me it is due to the post office. Please send me a message so I can resend.

I love pretty much any craft but my favorite is anything to do with paper. I enjoy making cards or playing in my art journal. I love the look of sewing or embroidery on paper.

I also love making jewelry especially beadweaving.

paper ephemera (especially vintage), buttons, ribbon and lace, rubber stamps, anything with owls or birds but especially items I can use for collage or scrapbooking, prima flowers, rub-ons, letter stickers, anything by heidi swapp, embossing powder, stamp pads, stationary and note cards, crystal or gemstone beads, silver findings for jewelry, embroidery floss, realistic butterfly or flower stickers, stickers from the 80's, old Garbage Pail Kids, anything with the Sanrio characters, recipes for desserts, recipes for chicken, recipes for pasta made without beef or pork, tea, foreign money, cd's, books, kids books, and I love handmade items. If I'm in a postcard swap I don't mind receiving handmade but I really do like the postcards I receive to be naked. My favorite postcards besides handmade would be vintage photos or images, pulp, pinups, birds, owls and butterflies.

I definitely don't mind used things if they are in good condition

I really don't like candles, incense, makeup, lip gloss, or fragrance

Most fantasy and anything that contains vampires, witches, or werewolfs. Lately I've also been enjoying historical ficton.
