Please Note! I always rate, it might take me a few days to rate you but I always do, so no need to send reminders to me after you have sent your swap, I tend to rate in batches once a week.

Also, I always send my swaps and send them on time, if yours does not arrive, PLEASE contact me asap and I will resend. I work very hard to keep my score and will do anything to keep it so.

Oh I always hate writing these things! About me..huh, how to sum 'me' up easily...I am an artists, my medium of choice is jewelry...I create wearable art. Although I also practice photography and writing, but those are more for me (Until I start making prints!) I am self taught gemologist, hope one day to be a certified one..even then I will still sponge rock knowledge up.

I have a serious nature and hiking obsession and love spending time crawling in the dirt looking for mushrooms and slime molds to photograph

I love studying things, especially dealing with mythology, science, folklore and history. It is one of the main inspirations for my jewelry.

Another hobby/obsession of mine is gaming! I love video games and my boyfriend has introduced me to the world of RPG so yay!

Ghost Adventures, Suvivorman, Good Eats, Bizarre Foods, Mythbusters, The Daily Show, Futurama, Bleach, Trigun, Cowboy Bebob, Ghost in the Shell, and most shows on the Travel Channel, History, Science or Discovery

Repo! The genetic Opera, The Fifth Element, Labyrinth, Legend, The Dark Crystal, Marie Antoinette, Kill Bill, Fight Club, Hero, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Lord of the Rings, Ink, SuckerPunch

I should list the books I like...but really I would be typing all day! I love reading a good sci-fi or fantasy novel...but my real love is sponging knowledge, no matter how useless! I have a tendency to sponge mythology, nature, science, and history the most

BEADS!! clears throat sorry about that....I love making things with them and just playing with them. There is also my love or origami, can't forget that as well!

If photography counts as a craft then that gets to be added here too!

Also if Feng Shui counts as a craft. I think I have turned it into an OCD artform.

Yes, they get their own section! I have three Veil Tail Bettas, Fortunado, Arioch, and Straasha.

Also two cats...both were rescues. Tao my black and white little pudgeball loves to sleep in the window, watching the world go by. She has a mothering streak that is wonderful, anytime anyone is in any form of distress she comes and tries to make it all better. Tao has the most awesome marking, on her shoulder is a perfectly formed black heart! She loves strings, feathers, the laser and lots of catnip!

Espeon. My little ball of Chaos!! I think I should have named her tempest because she is like a little storm (plus she looks like Pietersite) She is a kitten Tortoise shell German Rex and is one of the most affectionate cats I have ever known. She will play with anything, seriously nothing is safe from her. Check my deviantart photo gallery (the not jewelry section) for pics!
