About Me

Happy Autumn!

SPOILER ALERT: I post swap pics on Flickr. If you want to be surprised, don't look :-)

I am a collector of art and craft supplies. (ok, I'm a member of "Coping with your craft supply addiction"). Every time I see a new craft I like, I buy supplies and make a few. The arts and crafts medium that has really stuck with me is recycling and reusing. Expected and unexpected items turned into jewelry, collage art, atc's.

I have tried and enjoyed soy candles, mosaics, simple sewing projects, card making, cross stitch, beading, crocheting, watercolors, glass painting, metal soldering and shaping, resin casting, ATC's, Inchies, quilting and more but always seem to come back to collages, altered art and recycled jewelry making. I'm interested in learning more about simple book binding and paper making.

I am trying to get my hands on a book or magazines written in French. Something to take apart tho, nothing really nice. I love ephemera, funky and antiquey type things but also crisp and classic.

I have a blog (my website above) but I'm awful at finding interesting things to add and keeping it updated. I'm going to make an effort this year to stay on it

Favorite colors

My favorite colors are red, red, red! And creamy white. Also brown, black, yellow, orange. Oh! And teal, aqua, water colors but monochromatic in any color draws me in. Ok. Pretty much every color :) I love, love, love texture! Especially in earth tones. I'm also part bird. If it sparkles, I'm delighted!

Dislikes

I have very few dislikes; liver, twangy country music, snakes, smoke filled rooms, negative people, anime/kawaii/sanrio and cheap mayo. I'm also not a big fan of cutsey, cartoony style.

Completing Swaps

I am not flakey and ALWAYS leave ratings/feedback. I rate based on effort and probably give more hearts than I should. I put extra effort into every package and hope that other swappers will too.

If you didn't receive something from me, please contact me. I've noticed through my etsy stores that International shipments seem to take longer and longer. Be patient if you are overseas and I will too :)

Comment: Very nice tag. I really like it. And the extras to make tags of my own, very much appreciated. This is my first time making altered tags, so mine still aren't done yet. But I am working on them and I hope my partners like them. It's always a challenge to try something new for fear you don't really know what you are doing.
Response: Aren't tags fun!?! I love them. A bit more room than an ATC. I'm sure your partners loved them :)

Hi Julia, I opened your package today for the Sept 'I Have What You Want' forum. It's been at the post office a few days but I've been sick. Thankyou so, so much! It's all beautiful. I will make something nice for myself with the Turquoise beads. It really brightened my day as I'm feeling rather miserable with this flu. Pretty beads make me happy! Cute card too! I will probably re-use the image for an ATC or Post Card or something. I love it all. Thank you, Diane @sweetypiedie
