I started on swap-bot around the beginning of March 2009. I'm sure I don't trade as often as some, but I sure am keeping busy... not that I needed to (keep busy...). I don't like to join a trade, unless I've already got something finished or almost finished because I never know when I'll be able to work on a card or ATC.

I like Asian themes and rubber stamping. I help moderate two Flickr groups and am stretching my interests into ATCs.

I like most genres, especially science fiction and fantasy. Ihave enjoyed Philip Jose Farmer (died 2/25/09 and wrote over 75 books), Robert Silverberg, Robert Heinlein, Piers Anthony, and many more.

My favorite craft right now is card making. I've so enjoyed the Hero Arts Flickr group at http://www.flickr.com/groups/heroarts/. Fantastic group of paper artists from around the world.

I've done beading and ceramics. Ceramics is too dust intensive for me. There was dust everywhere. I do some beading off and on... but nothing serious.

I have crocheted, mostly afgans (some baby items a long time ago) and enjoy using the circular wooden shape with hooks (not sure what it's called) to make neat hats.

Mostly action movies and comedies. I like science fiction, fantasy, some love stories. No horror movies.

I had Arsenic and Old Lace for a long time on VCR. I'd love the movie on DVD. That was the funniest "murder" movie I have ever seen. Old black and white...

I liked The Mummy, The Princess Bride, Bird on a Wire... I'll keep adding things as I think of them.

I saw messages on other's profiles and thought it a good idea to also let everyone know I will ALWAYS try to rate as soon as I receive a swap, but if I forget to rate you, please do not hesitate to message me or shoot me an email about it. I do not wish for anyone to go without a rating for something I got.

As for anything I send out, if you do not receive something from me in a swap, please contact me as soon as you begin to feel uneasy! The chances are that the package/letter has been lost in the mail or has simply not arrived yet. If something like this happens, I will send you a replacement. Please don't hesitate to ask!
