About Me

March 2010 -- Been a LONG time since I've been on here. Sorry for the swaps where I didn't get the items out ... life got in the way.

I am working on selling my house, had to get a loan to install a new HVAC system ... lots going on -- some happy, some not.

I hope to be able to do some swapping in the future.


I'm the proud mom of 2 wonderful teenage daughters. My older daughter is Sophomore in college, and my younger daughter is a Freshman in college. Yea, both of them in college! And both on the Dean's list at their schools.

Love animals -- currently have 3 cats and 1 dog. Really want to live somewhere I can have a horse. That's my dream.

My favorite color is purple (my birthstone is amethyst), but I REALLY LOVE, LOVE PINK! Everything pink!

I also LOVE Snoopy and Hello Kitty.

Favorite Crafts

I've loved crafts since I was a young girl. I used to love cross-stitch, but aging eyes don't allow me to do that anymore!

  • Paper crafts;
  • Altered Art (including ATCs & Inchies);
  • Scrapbooking;
  • Card making;
  • Sewing;
  • Crochet;
  • Rubber stamping

Favorite THINGS

Randomly, just some of my favorite things:

  • BUTTERFLIES (I love the symbolism and I have a butterfly tattoo on my stomach);
  • anything PINK;
  • Kitties;
  • lace, buttons, vintage sewing stuff;
  • the Beach (seashells, sand & anything beachy);
  • VINTAGE things (especially vintage sewing items);
  • glass beads (any color, shape,etc.);
  • Mickey & Minnie Mouse;
  • LOVE LOVE Snoopy!!;
  • Hello Kitty (who doesn't love her?)

Stuff I'd Love to Receive

Things / themes I would really love to receive:

  • LACE - lace trim or lace fabric (any color);
  • RIBBONS - for sewing or scrapbooking;
  • FABRICS - 100% cotton for quilts, (12x12" or a FQ would be great!). LOVE small florals. Like vintage-looking floral prints. Muted floral prints with pink & green for a quilt I'm working on. But love all fabrics.
  • PINK embellishments of any kind;
  • GLASS BEADS - any color or size (especially old and unique ones);
  • BUTTONS - unusual shapes, and esp. vintage;
  • YARNS (especially pretty & bright color acrylic yarn, I'd love a ball big enough to make a granny square out of it ... I'm crocheting blankets for PROJECT LINUS!); COTTON YARNS!
  • CROCHET or KNIT PATTERNS (especially simple ones);
  • FABRICS -- 6x6" for dottees or other small stuffies;
  • Snoopy, Hello Kitty, My Little Pony, Mickey & Minnie Mouse stuff;
  • rubber stamps & stamping supplies;
  • scrapbooking supplies;

But anything is appreciated!!

Books & Magazines

I love to read. I always have something to read by my bedside.

  • Love craft magazines -- scrapbooking are my favorites. I have started back into crochet & knitting too.
  • Love mysteries, but NO horror, sci-fi or fantasy;
  • Love autobiographies

DISLikes or Can't Use Items

Things I just won't use or don't really like:

  • baby theme items (and young children's things like Sesame Street) (don't need yet!);
  • sci-fi / fantasy
  • scary things (vampires, monsters)

My Girls

I have 2 wonderful daughters, ages 18 and 16 (did I already say that above??).

  • Older daughter likes BLUE and PURPLE. Loves to read fantasy-type books, loved Twilight!

  • Younger daughter likes PINK. Loves to read fantasy-type books, loved Twilight (yup, they have a lot of same reading likes). Loves anything about Japanese bands (has posters of them all over room), likes anything French.

They both love kitties / cats and kawaii.

RAK

You may receive a greeting card (any type) that I stamped or that I swapped -- with a note that you have received a RAK. A RAK is a Random Act of Kindness. You can send as is ... or write in it and send it to someone.

I decided it was time to stop hoarding all those handmade cards. They need to bring happiness to someone!

Decorating Style

I am "ECLECTIC" ... some antiques, some new, some thrift-store finds that I painted. If I like it, I will find a place for it.

Favorite decorating colors go with my oriental rugs: burgundy, dark pinks, navy blue, teal/sage green.

My kitchen is a burgundy/red. Ralph Lauren color (forgot name) ... LOVE IT!!

Comment: I loved the ATC. I remember all the publicity when they were moving the lighthouse. I used to live in Magnolia, North Carolina. I have never been to see the lighthouse, but want to go one day. Thanks so much!

Hi I haven't been rate by you for Map postcard swap USA. I would have sent a NM card. You have also not responded to a message I sent about it a long time ago, so I am posting here.
I just want to check if you got it, because if you didn't, I will resend. Please let me know. Thanks

Have you gotten the Green and Pink Profile Swap yet from me? I spent a long time on it. Please PM me and rate me if you have. I saw that you haven't read my messages yet either.

estromberg on May 13, 2009:
