About Me

badgewhat I pledged

Thanks to all the incredibly wonderful people who sent Stopain for my dad!

Please note, please only send me the swap, dont include any extras unless they are on my wishlist, I am thinking about the environment and also the amount of storage in my house! I will rate according to the effort and thought put into the swap so hearts are still being dished out! I will also not include extras when I post out swaps (unless I have something in mind I know you really would love to receive) and would really appreciate if you could rate my swaps in the same way

I am 46, married and live in Israel, I have a 22 year old daughter and a 21 year old son and Hannah who is five! Love animals and my aquariums and paint, stitch, knit quite often all on the same day! I have two dogs (NOT allowed on the sofa or near crafty stuff!) two aquariums and three rats

Anything connected with Judaism is always very well received, I love it and if you want something from Israel (whether Christian or Judaica) just shout, I will be delighted to oblige if I can!

I am embarrassed to admit I work on computers and love my job!

I always aim for a heart and a WOW! not because I am bothered about hearts but I love the thought of making someone somewhere in the World happy even if its just for a minute ...

Jenni Chris and Hannah

Favorite Music

Everything, right now its Rihanna and Amy Winehouse but always like Bryan Adams, James Blunt everything including Phantom of the Opera! I love the idea of mixed CDs but have no idea how to go about making one! Ho hum .... my hubby bought me an MP4 for my birthday and I totally love it!

Favorite Movies

Thats easy - Love Actually, all the Harry Potters and Lord of the Rings and ... Phantom of the Opera. I love films and we have a plasma so we really get the benefit of them!

Favorite Television

There are a couple of things, mainly CSI New York, House MD and some reality. Love Most Haunted but only got really old episodes and anyway, when you have a five year old you dont get daytime TV, you watch hers!

Favorite Crafts

OK - oil painting, knitting, hardanger, cross-stitch, painting murals and have tried just about everything else ...

Oil painting

Likes

I love blues and purples. Anything to do with being a (gulp) grandmother, anything crafty is always loved. Hannah adores pink, fairies, Dora, Disney so anything for her she will love and when she is happy ...

Please note if you are in a matchbox swap with me, my boxes are 5cm x 3.2cm x 1cm, if you want it to be the same size as others you have, please say in the comments section of the swap if its important to you!

Dislikes

  • No plastic beads, I dont use them and I dont like the feel of them, weird huh?
  • No single buttons, I use them for biscournus and baby jumpers but dont see the use in single ones
  • Not keen on pink green or orange but everything in moderation is fine!
  • No ATC supplies except those see-thru slips and of course, pages for the folder to put them in! Those I would love!
  • Funny but I am with those against the clowns, spooky things, and I cant stand liquorice!
  • We are kosher, so please bear that in mind when sending food, especially pork scratchings! :-D

Wishlist

  • Anything with rats on, love my ratties!
  • ATCs, have just started to do them and totally love them, especially with mermaids on!

Whats happening???

Swapwise! This is to jog my memory but if you think I missed something off please shout!

Waiting for:

International Matchbox for Beginners
Rebowyer2000 (needles)

Need to remember

Profile surprise for Chappykat
Iris painting for Stacirose (started - woohoo!)
Journal angel (started)
Hamsa (Aaargh - might be a restart)

Comment: Wow, what a great package. I didn't even know it would be coming from Israel! You really went overboard and even included my littlest who made an ATC but didn't get to participate due to age. He was so delighted! The ATCs were so beautiful and perfect for each boy. We couldn't have wanted any more. They were great! All the little wrapped suprises were wonderful and I couldn't keep the boys from starting the projects as soon as they opened them. Love the stickers. Many many hearts! Thank you soo much!
Response: I am so pleased you got it safe and sound and it was my pleasure to put it all together, and Hannah was really enjoying making the ATCs!

Comment: I got the best package today!!! I love the candle holder and candles you sent and the beautiful post card with the prayer translation. Thank you so much for helping me to appreciate and understand your service better. The bracelet is very pretty and I love the Dead Sea Foot Cream too. Did you make the candle holder yourself? It goes perfectly in my room and I will think of you every time I see it. It is very special and I'm honored that you shared it with me. Thank you so very much:)
Response: I am pleased you liked it all and I made the candle hodler, its nice because it folds flat when you arent using it!

fall WOW! Thanks so much for the nice comment and compliment you left for me! I absolutely love making row houses, and I am so happy that you like them so much. My winter/snow one is on my flickr and on the row hose flickr group if you want to see it. We should be getting our partner assignments in a day or two. :)
