About Me

alt text

@@@@@@ I will be moving to Alabama July 20th give or take a few days so I will be stopping all swaps for a bit but once I get settled in I'll be back and crafting again. I might be without internet for a few weeks during that time so if you message me it might take awhile but I'll be back!@@@@@@

I live in Southern California If you need a CA PC let me know and I'll send you one :)

I'm 33. Married to a comic book colorist/"guitar player"(the hubs wanted me to add that...). I have 4 kids. 12yr b* 10yr g* 4yr b* and 2yr b . I have two kitties Roxy and Stella. I'm a stay at home mom that can't wait to get a part time job once all the kids are in school.

If you have some really good Vegetarian recipes please share them! It's weird I hear, but I do not eat corn, peas, or raw carrots. Corn must be the worst veggie I have ever tasted. I went to a strict Christian school and every Wednesday I got in trouble for not eating the corn.

I like girly things but I'm not very girly.

I started exercising- It's hard and it hurt's but I'm trying. Those Biggest Losers Dvds are pretty good!

I collect and LOVE gnomes! I have also made a few goblins and like to collect those as well. I Have a few Brian Froud's Goblins.

I also like anything fantasy - goblins, gargoyles, trolls, mermaids, centaurs, dragons, evil fairies, pixies and elves. Nothing too dark or devilish though.

My fav color is RED! - black/white, any color stripes, brown/red, orange/brown, hot pink/black. Green/black.

I am easily pleased especially if it is handmade by you!

Most of the time I will reuse shipping supplies. Also, If I receive something that is new or still very usable but I don't think I will use it I will pass it on. Please do the same for me. I will not be offended if you pass anything that I've made or bought onto someone else :)

Favorite Crafts

I like all sorts of crafts. When I was younger my mother would enter craft shows at the local fair and that's when I became interested in almost everything. I love to sew. My Dad is the one who taught me to sew, even born with one arm he could do anything he put his mind to... He even bought me my first sewing machine and taught me how to set it up.

My daughter and I have been crafting around with polymer clay. We make little figures and things. It's really fun to do something we are both interested in.

  • ATC's! If you have unwanted ATC's that you don't like or need and you think I may like them I'd be happy to adopt them! I would love to see what others are creating :)

  • Addicted to making Dotee dolls,button fairies and those matchboxes! Though, I would have never known about them if it wasn't for Swap-bot!

coconut

liquorish

gelatin-ew (gelatin=skeleton)

I'm not a prude however, sometimes I have a kid or two standing near me while I open mail :)

I'm stumped! I guess there isn't much I don't like hah!

How cool to meet such a BOWIE fan! My first concert was BOWIE LIVE AT THE TOWER THEATER and I've been hopelessly addited ever since. Hope you don't mind I copied your Aladdin Sane jpg. Have a safe move & I hope we get to swap in the future.

katehawk on Mar 23, 2010:

Hi! I see that you like matchboxes so I wanted to invite you to join my new group matchbox & more. It's mostly about matchboxes of various kinds but there are some other kinds of swaps (such as whimsy jars & lucky parcels). I hope you'll come be a part of the fun! Thanks!

clsampse on Feb 8, 2010:

You're package must've gotten here Saturday, I just got it out the box this evening! Thank you soooo much! I haven't been able to sample everything yet, but the snickerdoodles are AWESOME. I wish we had more specialty stuff like that available here, and especially stuff that's labelled as being vegan, because it gets tiring reading labels every time you want something different from the supermarket. Haha I'm glad the Mars bars arrived alright! The post office guy asked me if it was fragile and I was like...YESSS! He thought I was crazy. :) But I figured we should keep you well supplied. :) Favorite-candy-withdrawal does strange things to a person! Thanks again!!

I would like you to tell Sara how very proud I am to have such a wonderful book by her. She did an amazing job!!! I can tell she put a lot of effort into it and I am so blessed to have had her as a partner. Miranda and Brenden were very excited about how wonderful of a story she wrote.

TerryF on Dec 2, 2009:

Glad you liked your Dotee! Hugs, Terry

Beautyfullchaos on Nov 30, 2009:

Hey there! The munchkin finally finished the book for the illustrations your daughter did on the Young Author & Illustrators swap....but I lost your return address! OOPS! Could you please send it to me via private message so that I can send it off today?

Thanks!!

Why didn't the skeleton cross the road? Because he didn't have the GUTS!

What happened to the guy who couldn't keep up payments to his exorcist? He was repossessed.

Happy Halloween! ~~ Trick or Treat profile swap

angielovesorange on Oct 16, 2009:

HI I'm your partner for the "My Swap Bot Profile is a little lonely..." swap. This so funny! I love GNOMES! My girlfriends tease me all the time about it and just got me a key Chain that says "Hanging With My Gnomies"! I also Love girly things, But I'm not a girly girl at all!!!!!! I say I'm a closet girly girl. My Mom was confined to a wheelchair all her life. And she did almost everything people said she couldn't. She was a wonderful painter! That talent I did not get. Love to sew and make things with my Daughter, I love alot of the same films you like also! Wow small world! Angie

You should see if Sarah is interested in the author/artist swap I am hosting
