About Me

Please just let me know if there is a problem and I will do my best to correct it.

If you have me for more than one swap feel free to combine in one envelope.

I have a wide variety of skills and interests which are reflected all the activities and projects I get involved in. I am a crafter, collector, builder, gadgeteer, and adventurer.

I love the fantasy genre first but also enjoy sci-fi and most of what I create has something to do with one of them.

I am also run clubs for Geocaching, Steampunk Workshops, OES, and have been starting up a handicraft guild in my area.

A few of my Favorite Things

A few of my Favorite Things:

•Colours: GREEN, purple, yellow, black, Autumn colours

•Plants: Sunflower, FOUR LEAF CLOVER, Pussy Willow, Willow Tree

•Movies / TV: Serenity, Firefly, Witchblade, Labyrinth

• Insect / bug

• Army / War / Weapon / Political

• Derogatory to any race, gender, lifestyle etc.

• Quilting, Cross Stitch

• Stuff for kids (I have none)

• No gore, torture - I just don't have the stomache for it - I like dark, scary, thriller, but Torture creatures or gory pain themes are just not for me.

Current Status

Everything all good in swaps right now as far as I know but I won't do any swaps that go in more than standard mail as postage is a little over my budget lately and I am expecting 2 heavy trains.

SO for now just doing light swaps.

On Break for March. :)

Hi there, I am going way back and tracking the origins and destinations of my swaps. We did the magic word ATC in '11. Can you tell me your city/state or province? Thanks so much!

Hi there! .. yes I do need to see your basement.. :P :) .. wow, you are into a lot of different forms of craft.. multi talented! :) .. and..we have nothing in common! :P ..haha.. which is good, because Ive discovered new things like geocaching and it just reminded me that I should step out of my crafting comfort zone and try new things (fascinated with steam punk, but never tried it). I do like the sound of elemental proxies.. I have a tree in my garden which is adorned with all kinds of charms, bells, talismans etc. from all around the world and of all faiths.. definitely drives away the bad stuff! :) .. anyway, hope to bump into you again and swap some ATC's in the future. Have a lovely day! x (Leave a Nice Comment #4)

Hi Jade. Your likes in working with crafts runs alongside mine in similarity. You have an interesting range of interest, and yes, I am with you in that I am new to all this swapping & the jargon, so I can relate to you on that level . I love scrapbooking, stamping & card making as well. Nice to meet you. Have a beautiful day. From Sissy

Oh! I get to leave your first comment. I am glad I got you for the 'leave a nice comment swap' being a fellow origami paper crafter I enjoyed reading your profile. I hope you stick around here I am relatively new too and I like it so far.
