A note about extras and hearts

I will give hearts to swaps that I can tell the person put a lot of thought, time and creativity into. I do not need extras in order to rate with a heart. Please do not feel as though you need to add extras to my swaps unless it's something you know I'll really love. I promise to give you a heart if I feel the swap was extra special even w/o extras. Also, please note that if extras are included but I can tell there was no thought put into the swap itself, I will not feel obligated to rate with a heart. I've decided that I will not include extras just to get a heart. I would hope that the work I do and the quality of swaps I send are heart worthy w/o adding extra paper, stickers or whatever to the swap. I will not be upset if you do not give me a heart but hope that you will agree that rating hearts should have to do with how special the actual swap is w/o the consideration of extras.

I love to scrapbook and create ATC's. I answer all my email and love to swap....

I love all of Tim Holtz/Ranger inks, stamps, etc. So if you have anything like that laying around gathering dust, please let me know. I enjoy watching his tutorials on YouTube and checking out his blog. I'm really into grungepaper, and can't wait to get his new stuff for '09...

I live in Brea, which is in Orange Co, California. I love vintage dishes, and decorate my house in Shabby Chic style. I love to do table settings, and give parties just to use the dishes. My three children are grown, and we have three chihuahuas that rule the house.

I am a OMA which is grandma in dutch. I visit my granddaughter and her family in Las Vegas around once a month, but instead of gambling, I visit the craft stores.

I'm not a good writer, but take great photographs.
..not allergic to anything in particular...

Favorites:

Tim Holtz stamps, papers, etc.

Any vintage/old text, like from telephone pages, old books, dictionaries, etc... vintage children photos,
used postage stamps from anywhere.

crocheted doilys in white are fantastic. Crocheted trim I can't get enough of...

OK, three things I would never want, crossword puzzles (I'm hopeless at them) fingernail polish (never use) and fancy soaps (skin sensitivity)..

don't really care for oriental artwork, guess it's the bright colors..I'm a pastel person.
