Favorite Crafts

Hey I'm new here so bare with me if you get partnered with me as I'm learning the ropes. I look forward to making new connections with all you swappers. My favourite crafts include Painting, Drawing, Jewellery Making, Card Making, Face & Body Painting Zentangle & Calligraphy.I consider my personality artistic but I get bored easy so I chop & change my current craft interest regularly. I studied visual arts at college when I was younger. I love when my daughter hand makes things like cards & drawings for me. If you're crafty feel free to make me something to show your style.

Favorite Movies

I love watching dvds but not really horror of thriller but other movies would be okay to send or usb sticks with movies on them providing they are in English. I'm happy to return usb sticks after watching them. love watching tv, dvds, going to the cinema & drive ins. I enjoy watching Comedy, Romantic Comedy, Drama & Action movies. I don't watch much sci-fi (depending on the movie) & I'm a big scaredy cat with horror & thriller movies.

Favorite Television

I love watching tv. I suffer from 2 chronic illnesses so I spend a lot of time bedridden & tv passes the time when I don't feel so good. I like watching tv series like Tru Blood & Game of Thrones. I am someone who enjoys Reality TV, Game Shows & Drama series. Other TV series I like to watch are Outrageous Fortune, Revenge, Bold & the Beautiful, & Survivor.

Things I collect

I collect fairy figurines & novelty erasers. I am happy to recieve cute novelty erasers that you think are cool. I like smelly stuff too so some erasers have a scent. I like those. I'm basically a big child lol. I also collect crafting stamps & would welcome more. Not the usual Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas stuff as I already have those along with the general Christmas tree & present/ gift stamps but different and unusual craft/scrap booking type stamps would be great. I also collect calligraphy pens, quills & nibs so anything along those lines including inks would be lovely.

Things I like to recieve

I like to recieve cute things like novelty erasers, scented things (pens, stickers, erasers, smelly textas). I collect erasers & fairy figurines with my daughter. I like letter writing so cute writing sets or note cards are always a sweet gift or wiring pens or calligraphy pens or nibs. I like to know about where you live so postcards & souvenirs from your home would be nice. I like handmade things & hand written letters (tell me about yourself). Feel free to add a photo as I'd love to put a face to the letter . I'll treasure them & may even be open to pen pal you from time to time. As far as food goes I have several food allergies so nothing Asian as they often contain seafood & msg. Candies/lollies may be okay providing they don't contain seafood, fish sauce, tuna or msg. I accept chocolate. I'm happy to recieve black teas but only black teas. I don't drink any herbal teas so don't send them thanks. I don't mind flavoured coffee sachets. I'd love to recieve souvenirs from your country or cute things. I wear very little Jewellery but will accept earrings or brooches provided they are new not second hand. I don't want them if they've been worn by another person due to the health factor. I love painting, drawings, photographs, postcards etc. I love beanies & scarves. I love fridge magnets & query stationery. Make up is fine if it's new and unopened. No second-hand makeup. Any essential oils, fancy soaps, bath bombs & face washers are nice too. Tea towels from your country would be great. I love little hair accessories, flowers & funky berets too. Lip balms & lip glosses are okay but once again unopened is a must. Don't send anything for the nails as I have false nails & will not use any polishes or anything in them. I like socks so any unusual, quirky or simply gorgeous socks in ladies size 10 Australian size. I am into a lot of craft stuff so I like any type of art pens/pencils/markers, sharpies, brush markers or pens, pens for Zentangling, or colours ball point pens. I Assisi make my own gift cards so anything for card making & card or scrap booking embelishments are fabulous. Dye cut embelishments, stickers, lettering, tags ribbons, Washi tapes, buttons, gems paper flowers, borders, stamping for ink stamping, kindy glitz/glitter glue etc. I am new to this but look forward to making some lovely international friends & swappers.

Things I don't like to recieve

I don't mind chocolate, gum, candy but avoid biscuits & chips due to allergy & please unopened packages only. If you send me postcards make them significant ones... The area you live or a local landmark or arty ones (not random). If you send something second hand make sure it's clean & suitable. Teabags black only as I don't drink herbal teas. I don't mind different flavoured black teas though.

Comment: Hello Bek, thank you for your Zentangles! So cool. For the additional copied ones: some of them looked like kind of linocut. How did you made them? Painted white on black paper?
Response: G'day. You're welcome. Thankyou for the 5 rating and the heart. I'm glad you liked them. I've only worked out how to respond properly so that's why this response is so late. Forgive me. I'm still navigating the ropes as a newbie. To answer your question none are linocuts although I have done that before. I just drew those pics. The white on black is just white gel pen on black card. :)

Wow, gee thanks for the comments. I'm really glad you liked the package. Yea I did not know if people would like the coasters as they are of Australia but I thought it was sending you a bit about me & my home. Also I drink a lot of tea and coffee so I love coasters. I'm so happy that I sent to someone who likes them. Thankyou for the feedback. X

njstauter on Aug 5, 2015:

Bek, I absolutely love this Australia coaster. It is fast becoming one of my favorite things to have received. Again, thank you so very much. Funny, how sometimes something so small can have such a huge impact on someone. Thank you again!

njstauter on Aug 5, 2015:

what a great package you sent (3 things in an envie). I wish I could give more hearts. I love the coaster, love the lunch bag and the tea holder and teas. YOU really went all out!

Oscalouie on Jul 18, 2015:

No problem. I hope you find them. :)

SuZignomeMoM on Jul 17, 2015:

♥ Thank you for the information. I had not looked at K-mart.

Oscalouie on Jul 4, 2015:

No problem crafting4goddess. Such a muck up but I'll send you something nice to apologise. Forward me your address via the message system & I'll pop something in the mail.
LESSONS LEARNT :)

Also the "@" tag doesn't work on here. I dunno why people use it. This system is ancient and is before the time of hastags.

crafting4goddess on Jul 4, 2015:

Oooohhhh I see what a happened. Generally peeps won't see those comments and are not notified of swap comments. You have to use the message system. Click username, then click "Send Message" on their profile. Now I understand what happened.
