I collect Sanrio, San-x, Kamio, Q-lia, Crux, Mindwave, and other Asian stickers and stationary. I am a high school chemistry teacher by day, crazed swapper by night! I am totally obsessed with Hello Kitty and her friends. I collect all kinds of stationary and pens/pencils. I have a ginormous collection of writing instruments. Please add to my collection!

My favorite thing the whole world is stickers!! Other than Kawaii stuff, I love Mrs. Grossman, Sandylion, Hambley, and Stickopotamus stickers, especially hearts, flowers, leaves, cute bugs, snowflakes, pumpkins, stuff with glitter. PLEASE! No old-lady stickers!! When I say "flowers", I mean cutesie ones, not vintage. No vintage stuff please. No angels, cupids, stuff like that, unless it's cartoon-y.

I am in love with office supplies, too. I have tons of pens/pencils, notebooks, erasers etc. As a teacher, I use rubber stampers everyday to stamp my students' homework. They love 'em.

Dr. Demento type stuff

John Hughes type films.

ER, Six Feet Under, Big Love, Will and Grace, Nanny 911, Super Nanny,Big Bang Theory, Swingtown! Oh, please! Pick that one up for another season!

Lucky star folding (tiny origami), scrapbooking, making bracelets, making beads (from fimo), quilling, making paper clip animals, wire craft. When sending beads, I need beads with decent sized holes, since I mostly do hemp jewelery. (No cheap pony beads!) I have recently gotten into making greeting cards and envelopes. I also put on a baby shower for my sister and we had a blast making diaper cakes!! (Look it up!) "My name is Urzula and I am a matchbox-aholic." Can I just say, Swap-bot is evil!! OMG! Now I am totally into Dotee Dolls and Shrinky Dinks! And my rubber stamp addiction is slowly spiraling out of control. D@mn you, swap-bot!

I am totally addicted to all things Kawaii. I have always had a fondness for Hello Kitty and there are 3 official Sanrio stores near me. I have enough Sanrio to last 5 lifetimes, but if you send me vintage stuff (pre 2000 for me) I will love you forever.

I am currently really looking for ANYTHING LANDRY (old Sanrio character) or stationery (memo pads or letter sets) of PUCCA.

I wish there were a San-X store or something else that sells Kawaii merchandise, but I have to buy most of my stuff on-line. I love to make address labels and swap cards.

Right now my favorite thing to collect are stickers - sheets and flakes. My favorite brands for stickers are Mindwave, Q-lia, Crux and Kamio. I would love some San-X flakes, but I just can't find anything except Sweet face and Mamegoma. When I find something I like, I buy it, and usually 2 or 3 of "it" if I can afford it. I have almost everything from the latest San-X lines, but I am always looking for that random 4x6 pad that doesn't have a set. I have all the Jewel cat, nyanko cat, black cat, relax bear, mamegoma, Monokuruboo memo pads and letter sets, so unless they are vintage, I have it already.

For characters, I like pandas first and foremost. I have all the new Tarepanda stuff, but I would love other brands of Kawaii panda-ness. I like the newer Sanrio characters, like Pankunchi, but I have all the latest stuff of him, too. I love Kuromi and Sugarbunnies and don't have a lot of them.

I love any sort of non-animal Kawaii thing, like food and poo and teeth. I absolutely hate real animals and real people/babies. But I love real food and cartoon food with faces drawn on them. I like the zoo animal stuff best, like "elephant life" stuff. I don't really like baby animal stuff, like when they are floating on clouds and stuff. I LOVE puni puni animals!

Other than Kawaii stickers, I also collect memo pads, letter sets, pens/pencils (mechanical), deco tapes, erasers, plushes, pencil pouches, pencil cups, pencil holders of any kind, stamper sets, anything and everything Kawaii. Ebay is my best friend and my arch nemesis at the same. I might as well have my paycheck deposited right into my paypal account!

I am missing some little cactus pups from Tokidoki!! If you have the green or pink, I can trade you for the brown or red. I love Tokidoki!! I hope to get a messenger bag soon!

For the non-Kawaii stuff, here are my specs:

Stickers (even teacher stuff b/c I am, but only whole sheets. Every student needs the same sticker per assignment or all hell breaks loose!)

Purple/pink/red/black/blue/green

Glittery stickers

Graph paper

Gel pens (esp Sakura brand)

Mechanical pencils with big cushy grips

Mechanical pencils with twist erasers

Galaxy markers, esp white and silver

Cute boxes

Erasers

Extra hard sudoku puzzles

Rubber stampers suitable for school (animals esp)

Hair scrunchies/ pony tail holders (any kind of color, esp bright colors, multicolored)

Rainbow themed stuff

Anklets/Bracelets

Cherry flavored/scented stuff -

Candy - cherry or grape fun dip or laffy taffy

Webkinz codes

Mexican stuff, cause I am

DIY kits for anything

Please do not send me:

Stuff from Target, Wal-Mart, Dollar stores, etc. Don't even try, I shop at those places and I know what's there.

Wooden pencils - only mechanical, and the thicker the better, like .7 or .9

LITTLE KAWAII SPIRAL NOTEBOOKS

Bootleg items

Religious stuff (except buddha and Mexican inspired stuff)

Necklaces or earrings (no pierced ears)

Cosmetics ( I do not wear any kind of makeup)

Candles/ tarts/ incense

Candy of any kind (except Japanese stuff. Or Cherry Fun dip, and cherry or grape Laffy Taffy.)

The following Kawaii characters: Cinamoroll, BatzMaru, Froliemew, Spottie Dottie, real animals or babies or people, Anything of Morning Glory, Disney, Pooh, Diddl, anything else not Japanese.

Teacher stickers are ok as long as its the whole sheet (but not in a Kawaii swap; that's not fair)

Crappy stickers that you KNOW are not pretty or cute or useful for anything

Cheap, no name stuff.

Anything that smells of anything. I am highly allergic to cats, dogs, and smoke. No perfumes either. (Or pollen, but I am going to assume that most people don't put their swaps together out doors.) And please don't cook by my swaps either! I have gotten some pretty rank swaps lately!

I would love the following:

Rubber stamps (I stamp my students papers with a different stamp everyday, so I need variety. They like to color them in, so large stamps with empty spaces are great. Flowers, geometric pics, animals preferred.) Can be gently used.

Embellishments for Dotee Dolls and Matchboxes.

Tiny things to put in matchboxes

CD of Kawaii graphics to use to make swap cards and labels. Scans of memo sheets, lettersets, etc work great.

Mixed CDs I can play in my car. I don't even know what's popular now. I just listen to NPR. (NERD!)

Packs of Webkinz cards

Regional Hello Kitty pens and mechanical pencils with little dangles on them. HK dressed as other animals or food are the best!

Altered tins or shrines. I can't make these, but I want them!
