Bloodrecuted

I cross-stitch nearly anything. I only used dmc floss unless it's kit and I could really care less what brand of cloth I use. I prefer higher counts, though b/c 14 count is awful obvious when a project is done.

Although I am teaching my roommate and some friends to Xstitch right now and you can never have too many beginnner kits lying around for such situations.

I don't scrapbook, but like scrapbooking supplies anyway for random other things. I can find a use for nearly any craft thingy I get. And if not, I can re-swap it.

I love, love, love buttons. All buttons. Love them.

Colors: Black and white; dark rich reds and greens; pale happy sunshiny yellow; i don't like pink and orange

snacks and drinks: I love tea a LOT, however I can't have caffeine for medical reasons which tends to be a problem in swaps. I've yet to meet an herbal tea I didn't like, though. I do actually adore coffee, but only in decaf and that really doesn't leave much room for variety. All chocolate is good, whether it be in drink or treat form.

My all time favorite books are: 'Biting the Sun; by Tanith Lee and The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath; anything by Neil Gaiman; 'I Will Fear No Evil' by Robert Heinlein; Clive Barker; Joe Hill; 'Seventh Son' and sequels by Orson Scott Card; The Incarnations Series by Piers Anthony; Memoirs of a Geisha; Geisha: A Life; Dave Barry; Roald Dahl; absolutely anything at all by Terry Pratchett; the robot series by Isaac Asimov;

There are so more but I'm such a big reader that there is no way I will ever cover it all here. If you like it, I will read it. Even if it's romance. Except I can't really handle westerns... not my bag.
