About Me

For 2012 I will be slowing down my swaps and tags but staying active on SB and making sure my groups are fun, active, safe and flaker free!

I am not accepting any requests for private swaps, I'm entirely in group swaps, tags, raks and games.

You can find hosting, rak-ing and swapping at Cheap Postage Swaps, Tags and Fun.

I own a creative arts studio - check out http://www.claycafechantilly.com! and run an art non profit - visit http://www.herndonarts.org. I enjoy origami, scrapbooking, atcs and pretty much anything to do with paper. I paint pottery, do mosaic and glass fusion. I knit but I can't crochet to save my life. I doodle with my Sharpies. I make lots and lots of kids/family crafts.

Styles I like: eclectic, world/ethnic, tropical, modern art, graphic, anime, clever, hand drawn, have been suckered by kawaii lately.

Styles I do NOT like: vintage, victorian, zetti, lace, nudes, gothic/dark or religious, country.

Styles that I like in small doses: americana, art deco, tribal, earthy

LIKES: Love bright colors, unusual shapes, nature, pretty, happy stuff! Fav colors include pink, red, black, blue, burgundy, purple! Fav scents are citrus, linen, simple and clean.

I'm always happy to receive:
* Seed beads
* dimensional stickers * ribbon spools
* amigurumi
* placemats and napkins
* empty and/or altered altoid tins
* small metal charms suitable for bottlecap magnets
* anything from or inspired by my etsy favorites
* new polymer clay in kid friendly colors, white is always good!
* anything made with duct tape
* anything made from upcycled juice pouches
* anything that makes you laugh your head off! * DIY craft kits - I'm always looking for inspiration for crafts I can do with my summer campers (ages 5-15)

My offspring loves:
* steampunk pins and pendants
* Non US gum and candy
* anything chocolate
* anything sushi
* pocket size hand sanitizer or hand lotion
* anything Supernatural

Other miscellaneous items I like: small, glass beaded earrings or stretchy cord bracelets; funky pins or brooches; interesting hard candies; finger puppets; fiber crafts (anything knit, crocheted or stitched); funky pens/altered pens; table linens/napkins/placemats, interesting bars of soap; sugar free gum; amulet bags, black teas; chocolates of any variety (but only in the winter months); candies from your part of the world; low cal/low salt crockpot recipes.

No thanks! Things I don't need or care to receive:

  • anything vintage
  • fabric/lace/ribbon (have too much already!!)
  • plain papers or paper scraps
  • incense or anthing with a strong odor
  • herbal or green teas
  • anything licensed unless it's kawaii:)
  • books
  • anything religious
  • fabric - I can't sew nor have to time to learn
  • Please NO dollar store cosmetics, candles, candy/food, or personal care products - thanx!

ALLERGIES: Smoke, cat hair - if you send anything that's smokey or cat hairy, unfortunately I have to toss it out so please either air out the item really well or make sure it is sealed in the original mfr packaging! Thank you!

I am an early sender and a prompt rater. Please contact me if you have not received an item or a rating.

Favorite Music

jazz, pop/rock, world, hawaiian, top 40, whatever's in the cd player at the time:)

Favorite Crafts

paper folding, collage, papermaking, knitting, hands on arts with kids, beading, doodling, ceramics/pottery, mosaic, glass fusion.

What I Can Send...

Handcrafted Things I tend to send: ATCs, anything origami, beaded jewelry, handpainted ceramics, fused glass, bookmarks/bookthongs, addy labels + swap cards, handmade notecards, filled matchboxes, if you catch me with some time - handknit items, duct tape wallets/pens

Other things I like to send: postcards, profile surprises, stash (I have lots of stash), food/tea/candy, craft kits/diy, kids crafts, notecards, recipe cards, penpal letters, local/tourist items, supplies.
