BREAKING NEWS!!! I have a lot going on in life right now....saving for & planning a move, trying to have a baby, taking care of some family...So I am trying to focus on my hubby and myself. This means something has to go n the backburner-and swaps are one of those things :-( I believe I am caught up-if not email me. I will of course finish the ones I am still signed up for. But then will be on hiatus for at least a month. Thanks for understanding. Happy Crafting

*If you need me (and I am up all the time) please email me mirandacc@gmail.com. * Also I rate asap using my phone, but it wont let me give hearts, so if u get a rating from me and feel u deserved hearts....wait a few days for me to get on the computer and do it. I give hearts for all extra efforts,personalization and goodies.

*I am 31 Years old. I am married to my best friend, Anthony. We met online 8 yrs ago, and have been friends ever since. We didn't meet in person until Aug 2006 when he stepped off the plane to live with me. And then we got married Jan 15, 2008 in Niagara Falls. He is a writer, with many published works. And he takes care of me -which is a huge job!

*I have a 12 yr old son who lives with my parents close by. He is soooo much like me, smart, independent, stubborn, fun.

*I am a BiBBW. and Damn Proud! Took me years to be proud and admit it!!!

*I am a Home Health Nurse who works the Nightshift and LOVES it.

*I Love BEADS, I make jewelry of all different types like Men's, FUNky, Retro, Sophisticated,

*I love Wonder Woman, particularly Classic WonderWoman, I have a huge collection of comics and paraphanalia, and the TV series on DVD, and more.

*I play (or try to) guitar. My husband bought me my first electric-it is metallic red with a blue and white star strap-looking for the perfect WW decals for it. I also dabble in Harmonica and Piano.

*I love ALL colors. The brighter, the better, I am a hippie at heart, or in a past life...I am just discovering that I like earthy tones as well.

*I love animals, except flying bugs( I have a phobia) My fave is Turtles, I collect turtle pins and brooches.

*I was a military brat and grew up overseas. So I have no real home, have been a lot of places, and love meeting people from around the world.

Will listen to just about ANYTHING. Love Folk, Punk, & Country.

and craploads more...please contact me if u wanna do a music swap.

*Beads, Jewelry, MORE BEADS!!! I am working on a catalog and Etsy site-I will post more info on that so you can see all my beautiful creations-or ones I havent sold at least. I LOVE garage sale/Vintage/thrift store pieces-even broken ones, that I can take apart and make something new with.

*Dotee Dolls-I just started making these and I am an addict! So much fun!

*Knitting/Crochet-I can make a hat or scarf or bag with the rest, but beyond that I have NO PATIENCE!

*Decoupage-More fun ways to recycle and personalize things.

*Oil Pastels/Watercolor/Drawing-Don't do it as much as I used to, but usually do abstract, or surreal/impressionist landscapes

*Sewing, Anything quick as I am an instant gratification kind of gal. Especially Purses , Bags, Scrub Tops in fun Prints and Easy Patterns for plus sizes.

*Notecards-I am too impatient and poor for scrapbooking-but I love to whip up a pretty notecard to send to people.

*Needle/Wet Felting- a new addiction for me, just learning and Love all the different things you can do. I have started to experiment with felt "paintings" bracelet style.

*Sculpture-I used to do this a lot more-everything from clay, ceramics, wood, paper. I live in an apartment though and not much space to work, plus because of the up all night things I dont wanna disturb others with power tool noises.One day when I have a house...

*I will dabble or try just about anything...My husband is very supportive of my SCANNER personality (do a google search), so we try to afford all the things I want to learn, but if there is something you want to share with me, please feel free to send me a wee bit of the basic supplies. One problem I have is you usually have to buy so much stuff to try things. And usually I like to make 1 small item, then I am OVER IT! So much money wasted...But so many things I want to try.You will get a BAZILLION hearts for sending me small kits like this.

*BEADS-Please no plastic unless extremely unusual. I particularly love STONES and sparkly things and Metals.

*Anything Wonder Woman related

*Art doll trimmings-even the smallest 1in ribbons.

*Purses-Another addiction. It is soooo hard to find the perfect bag, especially retro, Pop inspired type ones. Handmade or not.

*Fancy chocolate bars-particularly ANYTHING with hazelnuts or caramel. Not a huge fan of white chocolate, but mixed or something special would be ok.

*Cool Pens-I am always losing Pens, I especially like Mini ones.

*Vintage/Garage Sale Jewelry I can take apart and RENEW
