PhoenixLM

Added 11-13-09 Well my partner has a job again good that she is working bad it is as a Temp driver for a Truck Company who supplies fill in drivers for different business'. Lets hope she has lots and lots of work!

Added 8-8-09 My computer bit the dust this morning. I have a back up computer but it has not got all my files on it so I might not be able to retrive some information or files :( that I had for swaps and will have to remake them.

Added 6-26-09 I will be scaling Swap-Bot back for awhile my partner was just laid off. I will complete any tags & swaps I have going currently. Then I will have to be picker about what I choose to do, because of the expense of postage.

Added 6-7-09 My doctors have recently upped my pain meds if I make a mistake on a swap or it seems just really weird please pm me & tell me what you think is wrong. I'll fix it. I generally send early enough in a swap to be able to resend before the deadline.

I reuse packaging supplies when possible, So if the outside of your package looks like it has been reused it probably has.

I'm 45 years young mother to 3 the youngest of which just turned 18!

I generally go by Phoenix, instead of my given name. It is my real life nickname. Truth be told I do not always realize it when someone is talking to me if using my legal name. ;)

I have a lot of allergies to perfumes, cats, and evergreens of all types. I'm also allergic to metals even surgical steel so I can not wear jewelry.

I have dabbled in many types of crafts in the past. These days it is pretty much whatever tickles my fancy and my hands can handle. I make candles, have made jewelry in the past, some sewing, make teas, arthritis ointment. I'm interested in making soap, bath salts and such, but haven't started at this time. Please note I do not scrapbook and have no desire to start, scrap-booking stuff is not something I would enjoy or use unless they are specifically Pagan in design and suitable for other things.

I'm not certain I have a favorite music genre as my taste skip all over the place. You might hear Red Sovine followed by ACDC and then Shaggy fast forward to Patsy Cline or Reba, though most RAP I just do not get into.

I can't stand Harlequin type books though some historical romance is OK I much prefer Jean Auel, Laurel K Hamilton, Kim Harrison (even though she is kinda cheesy at times). Ann McCaffery, Marion Zimmer Bradley, herb books, botanical books.

Underworld, Hellboy, Under a Tuscan Sun, geezsh I know there are others my brain is just on sabbatical right now.

Mostly Sci Fi, the dog makes me watch animal Planet (seriously),

I like Black & blue (seriously) Not crazy about green (unless its the kind you can spend) though I find as I get older I don't mind it being around me I just do not care to wear most greens. The exception would be a dark emerald green. I don't really have any other colors thats absolutely taboo. Not crazy about powder pink for myself though!

I pretty much like most teas Black Teas, Herbals, what have you. I have tried the blooming ones (thanks to a wonderly generous Swap_Botter. The Only thing I really do not care for is the real oily teas.

Pagan art (stickers, notes, stationary of pagan design, deco tape)

Green Witch supplies (hedge-witch)

Candles

Buttons prefer Bright colors, novelty or vintage (reproduction vintage OK too) (have plenty browns, tans, blacks & navy)

Beads; glass, enamel, or semi precious stones, polymerclay

Lace prefer vintage but any lace would be great. (salvaged is is great as long as it is clean and stain free)

Fabric (patterns of any kind as well as solids) To clarify I love fabrics! Anything from the dollar a yard variety to the specialty fabrics.

Deco tape of any kind

I would like an altered Journal I have never seen one.

Tea just please no loose leaf unless factory sealed.

Unused US postage is always welcome in any amount I.E. .01 to .44 :)

Stickers, Embellishments and such suitable for ATC's are welcome. I do not actually scrapbook, but things in that category that is suitable for ATC's is happily accepted. (Please no more reward stickers my youngest child is 18 years old :P)

Whimsy Jars you think I would enjoy OK I admit it I'm addicted to them :)

Standard size threads in colors other than black, & white.

Watercolors

Embrodery floss all colors!

Gel Pens Any & all kinds I think I have a new obsession!

Sharpies or other good quality permanent makers ultra fine please

Felt any colors since I have started making stuffies I'm going through it like gang busters!

Crocheted or knitted slippers

Colors I prefer blues. purples, reds & black...

I guess putting the pentagram on my profile is not blatant enough. I am not a Christian, I am a Pagan (hedge-witch), I practice magic and believe in reincarnation. I do not wish to receive Christian literature or other things Christian unless I specifically ask for it. If you insist on sending me Christian things then you are telling me you do not want a heart.

I have decided to expand a bit about my spiritual side. I am not wiccian I am pagan I travel a "darker" path than most simply because it is what my soul calls for. Darker does not equate to evil or "black magic". I do not believe in "black magic" or even in "white magic" I do believe in "magic" There is only the magic and the intent, if the intent is evil that is where good, bad, white and dark come into it. The magic is none of those things, it just is.

Badges we don't need no stinking badges!!!

But we do like them! LOL

I started to not add this but changed my mind.

@kristinsyn flaked on Tea lovers swap !!! http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/36118

@Pixxie Beltane Swap--Wedding Theme! http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/33022 This was even agroup swap!

I am very allergic to cats please let me know that you have cats in a note with the swap/tag. Pine of most types (rosemary is not a problem) Strong scents tend to trigger my allergies as well.

I forgot to put this here whist Yule coming up it is need to know Pine is an allergy really almost all evergreens that includes EO's & all perfumes of pine (perfumes are generally just one of the strong scents that trigger my asthma).

Unfortunately my asthma is triggered by my allergies.

I have enmtered several Send Anything swaps, to my partners please do not fret I completely understand that I may get something in these swaps I personally can't/won't use/enjoy. If that is the case, I will simply pass it along to someone else who can use/enjoy it! All I ask is that it is in good condition. Thank You!

Myself unscented lotion for dry skin, or things on my profile wish list. One of my Esty wishlist items. knitted/crocheted bootie/slippers simular to these http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_430xN.69851491.jpg Another idea is maybe something inexpensive from my Amazon wishlist.

My partner Melissa, cookbooks/recipes for interesting food she wants to learn to cook Asian cuisine & would enjoy authentic recipes specifying seasoning of Asian food. Books on handguns. Favorite color is purple. Is allergic to peanuts, adores dark chocolate.

My son Dale is special needs and loves books or magazines with lots of pics of cars. he has a Play Station 2 and likes shoot-um games (used is fine)

My daughter & her hubby Jay both are artist so any sketch pads art supplies would make them both very very happy. Jay does wore sculptures as well draw & paint. Heather draws & paints. Both is goth style. Heather wants a black fedora she says. LOL I was informed today they both like bento everything.

Likes Colors I prefer blues. purples, reds & black...

Books: I love to read Vampire books (fictional & about real life physic vampires I. E. Michelle Belanger I own her CD Blood of angels & she is the only vocal on it! I head her sing part of it accapellia at a party we were both attending was awesome) Historical Novels I'm not a fan of Harlequin or Silhouette books. Some Sci-Fi Examples of authors I enjoy Marrion Zimmer Bradley Darkover Books, Ann MCCafree (sp), Melissa Rawn, Jean Auel, I'll think of others later

Fabrics I love them natural fibers first then everything else :)

Lace

Ribbons

I love Jewelery always have but I can not wear most jewelry due to allergies to metal even surgical steal & gold. My ears are not pierced due to this but if you send me pierced earrings my partner or my daughter will lay claim to them. My partner is spiritual and my daughter is pagan.

Chocolate All kinds! Unfortunately in Indiana the weather is too hot during the summer months to ship it. I should also mention that I wear dentures & nuts are an issue :(

Dislikes Green clothing for myself I generally will not wear it unless it is a deep emerald green.

Lies even white ones just tell me the truth & let the chips fall where they may. I am human & my feelings may get hurt but I would rather have hurt feelings from honesty than later from a lie. I once knew a girl who truly believes that people wanted to be lied to and thats all she does, you will notice I said I once knew as in past tense. If she had been honest with me then we would probably still be friends.

Having my morning coffee interrupted :P

I'll probably come across more to add to this later.
