I'm 38 and live in NC. Love all sorts of crafts, but especially fond of knitting and crocheting. I can't have chocolate or other candy sweets, unless they are sugar free. I'm a diabetic. So please, if you get me as a swap partner, please don't send any candy. :) But I can have flavored teas, cocoa, coffees, etc.

I like most colors, except for light pink. My favorites are jewel or autumn shades. :) On the cute side, I like Hello Kitty, PowerPuff Girls, and any sort of lip balm/lip gloss. :)

I collect buttons, beads and vintage photos and vintage postcards. :)

I have received a 1 rating from a disgruntled swapper. She signed up for a swap that I was coordinating. She did not follow the rules of the swap, and sent out 11 days late. I held onto her package as I was sending to her, telling her that her package would be sent to her when her partner received from her. If she didn't send, I would send the package on to her partner so that she received a swap package. I did NOT harrass her. I contacted her TWICE about the unsent package, and I felt I handled the situation diplomatically. Look at my other ratings and comments left....I send out great packages. The gal's partner finally did receive her package, but it was not mailed April 25th as the woman told me, but on MAY 1st, wayyy after the April 20th mailing deadline. The 1 rating is in retribution. This woman's package was mailed with delivery confirmation the day after her partner received her package -- and was held only because she was marked as "not sent'' at the swap deadline and took days to answer my email asking if she had mailed. Don't know how 2 emails constitutes "harrassment. Her package was delivered -- here's the proof from usps.com: Label/Receipt Number: 0306 2400 0000 0614 4532 Detailed Results:
