I had to take 2+ months off from swapbot because I was in a pretty bad car accident in July. I'm back on here (as of September) and swapping some but I still have a lot of recovery ahead of me and I can't craft for awhile. So, for now, I'm only joining swaps that don't require crafting...just fun swapping. ;-) Thanks.

I live in Plymouth, Massachusetts (aka "America's Hometown"). I'm close to Boston and even closer to Cape Cod so it's a great location. Plus I get all four seasons here, which is quite awesome. I have four boys (my husband, my cat-shaped furchild, my 5 year old stepson, and my beautiful 2 year old baby boy). ♥

I cannot live without writing and reading (oh, and air and water and other such superfluous things). I'm a huge fan of food...and the perfect wine to go with it. I love nature, animals, yoga, dark chocolate, cheese, candles, essential oils, crystals, and colors (especially sage green, grey-blue, earth tones, & black--I've also become fond of that "dusty" rose color...not quite pink, but sort of pink-ish) and I adore monochromatic color schemes.

• You can also find me on BookCrossing, PostCrossing, BookMooch, and Etsy.

• I give to this site every day.

                   ~*~ SCATTER KINDNESS ~*~
  

"TV on DVD"--I am addicted.

Some favorites: Northern Exposure, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gilmore Girls, Scrubs, Angel, Alias, and various types of documentaries.

For children's shows, Peep is the bomb (with Joan Cusack narrating).

Princess Bride, Ocean's Eleven (the remake), Joy Luck Club, Harry Potter(s), LOTR, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Chicago, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the original one with Gene Wilder), The Chronicles of Narnia (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian)

I don't care for romantic comedies, but think Notting Hill is brilliant.

I like almost anything by: Mel Brooks, M. Night Shyamalan, & Monty Python

I'm taking a break from crafting now due to my injuries but I've just started back joining photography and book swaps and doing fun trades.

I enjoy making ATCs but when I recently packed up to move, I realized I have WAY too many ATCs in my collection. I also enjoy making papercrafts (I have way too much paper, too), earrings, and working with polymer clay. I love taking pictures and scrapbooking (mostly for my boys).

Right now I'm just focusing on life--living it to the fullest (oh, and reading and writing...it's just part of living for me.) ♥

my family, my friends, nature, animals, the seasons, spirituality, books, writing, yoga, candles, rose-scented anything, incense (especially nag champa), crystals and stones, essential oils, my tarot cards & oracle cards, handmade stuff, giving to others, products (lotions & creams...I'm a bit of a product nut), bags (pocketbooks, purses, coin purses, tote bags...I'm a bag lady, too), dark chocolate, wine, herbal tea, honey, learning, seeing new parts of the world, hearing about other cultures and spiritual beliefs

♥ Favorite Artists: Alphonse Mucha & John William Waterhouse ♥

I have recently become aware of the existence of "Dark Dudes" and...um...LOVE them! I am especially taken with Mad Bunny & Bad Bunny.

super cutsie stuff, super religious stuff

I always send my swaps--have never missed a single one. If you haven't received something from me, please PM me. Thanks.

I rate as soon as I can after I receive a swap. I email partners before I give a 1 or 3 to see what's going on.

I have fun crafting but I also take my time and put a lot of effort into my creations. I would love to receive something you took some time and effort to make--I'll always choose quality over quantity.

Dried herbs (especially white sage, rosemary, and lavender) but any and all are great

Postcards from anywhere

Incense

Stones / Crystals

Celtic stuff

Anything Alphonse Mucha or John William Waterhouse (postcards, bookmarks, magnets, calendars, small prints, etc.)

Anything with "Dark Dudes" (especially Mad Bunny or Bad Bunny)

Thanks, but no thanks...

I don't need paper, don't use ribbon, and I really don't care for super cutsie things (bits, baubles, buttons, stickers, and so forth that are, well, super "cute") so I have to store them here until I find someone who can use them so...save some postage!

I ♥ books. Some genres I would like to receive are:

NON FICTION:

Resource: gemstones / crystals, tarot

Spirituality: pagan, Celtic, Norse

Mythology: any and all cultures

FICTION:

I like most types of books although I would really prefer not to receive anything with a lot of sex and/or violence. And I don't care for romance novels. I tend to read young adult novels a lot since I have limited time with my little ones here and I can actually get through a book. Plus, they've always been a guilty pleasure. ;-)

I don't have a lot of time to spend on here. Because of that, I haven't been participating in most of my groups for quite awhile so I'm leaving some of the ones I haven't been active in. Also, I won't be accepting invites to new ones right now. Thanks for the invites, though, and thanks for understanding!
