About Me

About Me

23 year old female.

I am an avid postcard collector and i like to put them up all over my walls.

I like watching foreign films...I'm always interested in any suggestions.

Grey is my all time favorite color, and all of its shades. Orange, Black and Yellow are my other favorites.

I find myself particularly fond of lion artwork and statues for some reason.

I've also been playing neopets for 6.5 years.

I put pictures of my swaps on my flickr, so if you are my partner and want to be surprised, don't look! =D

I rate based on the quality & effort put into the craft swap. I do appreciate extras, but I rate for the actual swap itself and award hearts for that.

Same when I'm sending, I do my best and send out work that I am proud of. When i add extras its because I had something I think they would appreciate and enjoy, but not just because I want a heart. I do love getting hearts, but like them based on what I sent for the swap and not if I did or didn't put extras in.

All that Jazz

Crafts

Drawing, collages, stamping, statues, drawings, ink outlines

I have a slight obsession with pens and markers. I always go to the pen isle in every store just to look and wish I had the money to buy one of everything

Television

House MD, Six Feet Under, Lost, Project Runway,

(I am a HUGE fan of netflix for being able to get different seasons of shows w/o actually buying them. DarnHBO for selling their shows for $80 a season!)

Books

Anything by Tamora Pierce & Judith Tarr & Anne Bishop

Wilbur Smith and Sara Douglass are some of my other favorite authors.

I read mostly fantasy and fiction specially historical fiction (NOT ROMANCE novels). I love a ton of books, too many to type at the moment.

Movies

Hero, Gladiator, Sleepless Town, Too Tired to Die, The Hard Word, Infernal Affairs, Eastern Promises, Lord of the Rings, Better Luck Tomorrow, The Motel, Last of the Mohicans, The 13th Warrior, Twilight Samurai, Dumb & Dumber, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls,

I like a good range of them, but I mostly stick to action, Drama and comedies.

I might repeat myself in this section, but I mean for this to be a quick list instead of having to sift through paragraphs.

Likes

-The sea, anything to do with sea life and that sort of thing. Any body of water really but the sea is my favorite.

-Lions, lions in art and statues. Cats in general.

-Dragonflies and Sea Horses / Sea Dragons

-Grey, Black, Yellow and Orange are my favorite colors. I also like purple.

-Postcards! Art/statues/landscapes are my favorite. I collect them and put them up on my wall.

-Pens, markers, sharpies...I'm a junkie for these types of things. ha ha

-Diddl stationary, especially Galupy and Vanillivi and the dark sheep.

-Pictures of Statues

-Ancient History...of anywhere

-Fun stationary

-The flat rectangular magnets that museums sell

-Mermaids (male and female) I like their mythology and I love seeing mermaid art.

-Stamps from foreign countries.

Dislikes

-Not really a fan of Kawaii things

-I don't celebrate holidays, because of my religion, so if you could kindly not include anything holiday centric that'd be great!

I'm not too terribly picky (at least I don't think so) but if I'm your partner for a swap feel free to ask.

Comment: Hello Cayleigh, Thank you so much for being willing to do a private swap so that I could get the A, B and C chunky pages of this A-Z Chunky Book project. You did three beautiful pages to start out my A-Z Chunky Book. Although all the pages are great, my favorite page is the C is for Colors page. Thank you for sharing some of your creativity with me. Did you paint those squares or did you cut them and then lay them out? It was my pleasure to do pages for you as well. Hope we meet up again, not just on this swap, but hopefully on some other swaps. See ya soon. Barb sleepingrover2010
Response: I'm so happy you like the colors page the best. I'm going to be honest, I had a hard time putting that one in there cause I loved how it came out! I'm going to make myself a page like it this weekend, but maybe a little bigger to decorate my wall. I got the idea from the Seminole Patchwork flyer I picked up at a shoe museum. lol. Thank you for the heart also. =D

Comment: They've arrived safe and sound and I love them all. I love rocky road ice cream, but my favourite is a combination of dark chocolate and morello cherry! Thank you.
Response: I'm glad you like them &Thank you for the heart! That dark cherry icecream sounds good, but right now I'm hooked on mint chocolate chip. = P

Comment: Hello Cayleigh, Well, we were matched up again for another chunky page swap. I received your Chunky Page yesterday for the "7 Continents of the World Chunky Pages-Oceania" Swap. With this swap there are limited choices because of the continent it is. I am doing Australia as well and you chose that as well. Your colored map of Australia was a nice feature for the chunky book page. The kangroo cork with the black markings representing hops is a cool feature on the chunky page. I will add your page to my other Continent Chunky Pages and will proudly add your page when I put all the continent pages all together into a Continent book. Happy Swapping until we meet again at future swaps at Swap-bot. Barb sleepingrover2010
Response: The kangaroo part was my favorite part of it too. Glad you like!

Comment: Hello Cayleigh, I received your Asian Chunky Book Page-Mongolia yesterday in the mail. The use of photography as your main form of illustration was nice. The use of black lettering against the photo background drew my eye there first. The note you wrote along with the page helped me understand why you chose the country. We have been swapping with one another often lately and I hope we continue to do so. Until we meet again, Happy Swapping! Barb sleepingrover2010

Hmmm...good point. I think I'll go ahead and post one of the swaps now and see how we're doing time wise once that's done. If there's more than enough time between due date and the holidays I can host two before the holidays then wait. If not I'll just host the one and let everyone know that once the holidays are over we'll finish up. Thanks for the input!

Doodlebabe on Nov 5, 2009:

Hidy howdy Cayleigh!

I need an opinion: With the holidays would it be wise to speed up the alphabet series and do 4 letters per swap now (the last one would be 3 letters but this would reduce the number of swaps left) or keep the usual 3 per swap and just wait out the holiday period so that no one is bothered with it?

Now to get going on those Europe pages...gah!

Doodlebabe on Oct 12, 2009:

Alphabet Chunky Pages M-O are up! I can't wait to see you there :-D

Doodlebabe on Jul 7, 2009:

Just so ya know, we've got about 2 other people right now who missed the A-C chunky pages. If ya wanna swap both of them are interested in private swaps. In case you're interested ;-)
