ABOUT ME: I'm 53 years old with two grown children and twin grandsons who started kindergarten this year. I work with special needs high school students, and I love my job. I live in the southwestern United States where it's HOT in the summer, but lovely in the winter.

*I'm actually very easy to please - if you make it for me, I'm going to like it. I appreciate people putting effort, time and heart into what they make. Finding vintage goodies or even shopping at a thrift or dollar store takes time and energy, so I really appreciate the effort that is made when people swap with me.

I won't flake and I will rate. I think I rate fairly, at least I try to. Please rate me! I really like to know that my swaps have been received, so I'd love it if you could rate my swap as soon as possible after you receive it. Or at least drop me a message and let me know it arrived. I'd appreciate it. If I forget to rate you, or if you don't receive a swap from me, let me know! I'll be embarrassed and I'll be apologetic, but most importantly, I'll fix the problem. Now, on to the fun stuff!!!

I do: some scrapbooking

altered objects

mixed media

cardmaking

some jewelry making (nothing complicated)

But I love all kinds of handmade items. If you make me something cool, I'll love you forever!

I don't sew (other than sewing on a button now and then), so anything that's sewn is like magic to me. How did she do that? Awwww...it's sewn! Magic! Same goes for embroidery, knitting and crochet. I'm in total awe of anything put together with thread and fabric or yarn and needles or hooks. I LOVE that kind of stuff.
