DISLIKES: When I put so much work into my dotee dolls & I get one in return that looks like it was done the last minute, receiving food in the mail unless it's from the company that actually made it, the dentist, sunflowers freak me out, I don't need any fibers or ribbons in swaps, bits of paper, neon yellow, sports, really girly things, thick/bubble stickers, leftover craft items, ATCs, things smelling of cigarrette smoke, ragweed, flower-y scents, winter, pagan & anything associated, sport bikes or "crotch-rockets", seafood, Not a huge fan of tea or matchboxes, sci-fi, receiveing insense in the mail, all this "new" music, scrapbooking supplies, fake leather, turtlenecks, stuff I can't use, brocolli salad, ephemera, real fur grosses me out, motorcyles that are "trying" to look like Harleys, most real-life birds, temporary tattoos, the town I live in, Crocs, ginger root, Oprah, swaps where you buy something for your partner and get the same thing in return ex. tea towels, kitchen items, pens,etc., cap sleeves, earwigs, skirts, confetti & glitter, Canadian TV & magazines

DOLL COLLECTION:

I don't like to brag, but I feel that my dotee dolls are some of the best in "dotee doll" words. I put so much care in selecting each bead and charm.

I am having fun making stuffies, especially the traditional japanese owls! I sell them in a local craft store.

I've done alot of scrapbooking, but not very much anymore. I've won the "page of the month" a couple times at the local photo/scrapbook store.

I make greeting cards & sell them at 2 local stores. I usually sell, on average, 5 a month. Not a whole lot, I know, living in a small town, etc. Just the thought of someone smiling, because of one of my cards, is cool to me!

I am an artist. I've sold aprox. 5 paintings at the local art gallery (which recently just closed) and I've sold 8 pieces on ebay, so far. I have also done several commission/custom paintings, too. I love the idea of MY painting in someone's home & them admiring it... I do commission work - ask me anything, if you are interested in a custom painting!

In the past, I've made ATCs galore and had 7 3" binders full of cards that I've received back. I guess I got bored with them and needed something new. I worked & made alot of decos, too, but I'm out of that circle now, too.

I've been working on a quilt for about 4 years now. I only work on it in the winter time. It's all handsewn, and all 1.5" squares. It's huge and beautiful & ALOT of work! I only have the trim left, then to quilt the layers of the blanket together with gold metallic thread

I love to sew Blythe doll clothes. My clothes are well made and will not come apart, like some handmade things. If you are interested in a custom outfit, don't be afraid to ask! Very Reasonable rates!

1. kittenboo... sent her a vintage baby doll dress & she was supposed to send me one of her heavily embellished dotee dolls

2. Jennyknitstoo... the 2nd half of my movie wishlist, burnt. Never received and no returned messages. I paid her $10 for the DVDs and she only used half of them

3. orangesugerplum... before sending out my part of the swap, I emailed her and told her that I didn't want her to flake because it'd be impossible to get anyone to angel this swap. She was supposed to send me a Blythe doll. I never received it & I sent her a large package, filled with alot of things.

4. NymphetMaggot... she tagged me on the I wish for... tag, said that she ordered a Kentucky magnet for me, then re-ordered it, but nothing has been received!

5. chocolattkato...she was the host of the swap, and was supposed to send me a handmade Blythe dress.
