My home is in the state of Washington, east of Seattle, in the woods. I am a ceramic artist but love doing all kinds of arts and crafts. I love craft materials - I'm a craft material addict. Also I like making recycled art and altered art out of all kinds of junk.

I'm not real picky about what I get as far as craft materials or other swap items, I can find a use for almost anything. The following is just a guideline. I would prefer that you send recycled things or things from your stash rather than spending money buying new stuff. And if you don't have something on my list, feel free to send something else, unless its something I mentioned as disliking.

Favorite colors are blues, turquoise, yellow, pinks, teal green, rust, burgundy, copper. I don't like black, gray, or olive drab. I do not like polka dots!

My favorite things are:

craft supplies - BEADS, charms, ribbon, buttons, iridescent and metallic paints, unusual yarns, embellishments.

Some things I would really like are: angelina fiber, leaf shaped brads, deco tape with nature designs(leaves, trees, flowers, seashells), deco tape in plain transparent colors, sheer ribbon, sheer fabrics, very small leaf stickers, Stazon ink pads in teal or brown, small pieces of glass for mosaics.

anything copper,

mountains & rocks,

ocean stuff,

trees, leaves(esp.maple leaves),

fairies and angels,

furry animals,

(I hate reptiles, frogs, insects, & spiders, but I do like butterflies)

I love Southwestern designs (the American desert) -
except howling coyotes,lizards,snakes, cattle skulls, Kokopelli)

I like birds, but not chickens, roosters, ducks, or geese.

For Halloween I like cute ghosts and pumpkins and cats. Nothing ugly or scary.

For Christmas, my favorite things are nativity scenes, angels, trees, bells, ornaments & snowflakes.

I'm not into Kawaii, but just discovered Deery Lou and I think she's adorable.(I like deer anyway) Well, I don't mind getting Kawaii stuff but won't be sending it.

I do NOT like clowns, pirates, skulls, skeletons, monsters, scary stuff.

I'm allergic to lots of scents - but love anything with vanilla or citrus scent. NO lavender please, that really sets off my allergies.

I don't wear makeup except for lip gloss. But I can use wild colors of nailpolish for painting crafts.

Love tea and coffee. Candy is good, but NO gummy candy or gum.

My ears are pierced amd I really enjoy getting earrings. I like both silver and gold, and of course, copper.

I GREATLY APPRECIATE HANDMADE ITEMS.

Folk, Classic Rock, New Age Instrumental

pottery (stoneware and terracotta, functional and decorative, sculpture),
beads, jewelry, fused glass,
papercrafts (collage, greeting cards, ATCs),
weaving, sewing, crocheting
assemblage and mixed media

I ALWAYS send my swaps. If you don't get something within two weeks of the send date, send me a message. If something is damaged, missing, or didn't have enough postage, send me a message. If anything is wrong with a swap package, let me know so I can fix it.

However, remember that once a package goes into the PO, I NO LONGER HAVE CONTROL OVER WHAT HAPPENS TO IT!

Besides the ratings listed below, I have sent out several other swaps which have not been rated and I have not heard from those partners at all. IF YOU GET A SWAP FROM ME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW THAT YOU RECEIVED IT! I don't care about the ratings, I just want to know that you got the swap.

If you send to me and don't get rated by me, or hear from me, that means that I didn't get the package. I ALWAYS RATE WHENEVER I RECEIVE A SWAP PACKAGE.
