About Me

SPOILER ALERT - I post pictures of my swaps on my flickr. Please don't look if you are my partner & want to be surprised!!

I've been swapping since May of 2007, and am pretty much addicted to it at this point.

My name is Heather & I am 28... Married with kitties. :)

I'm originally from PA, but have lived in several different states. My dream is to one day live out west, either in Northern California or Seattle.

I work as a "barista", and enjoy it for the most part. I think my favorite thing about my job is all of the free coffee I get. :)

I could happily spend all of my time in thrift stores or yard sales. I'm also a big fan of dumpster diving. You'd be amazed at what people throw away.

I have two Etsy sites, one for fun altered jewlery & the other is a vintage and supply shop. Check them out!

Favorite Crafts

I want to try everything! Right now I am very into making necklaces from game pieces, altering everything, decoupage, loteria ornaments, matchboxes, re-purposing stuff, bottlecaps, spray paint stenciling & sewing.

I also love to knit, though I'm kind of wishy-washy with it. The urge has to strike me, and for some reason it hasn't in quite some time. I do, however, always welcome wool & cotton yarns.

Love it!

You Should Know

I always welcome used items - be it rubberstamps, fabric scraps, etc... Use your own good judgment, but please don't think sending me something used would be offensive. :)

I reuse as much packaging as I possibly can & you should to.

I have 3 cats who have free reign over their house. I try very hard to keep them & their hair out of my packages, but occasionally one may find it's way to you... Sorry.

Profanity & nudity in art/music are not offensive to me, so please don't feel the need to censor yourself.

If a swap is late, please contact to me. I am rarely late, and will absolutely contact you beforehand if I am going to be. Please PM before rating, I will extend you the same courtesy.

Comment: Unfortunately the shrine never arrived which is so very disappointing as I was really looking forward to displaying it. However, going by your pics of it on flickr you did a wonderful job and it would have been perfect for me. I especially love the anatomical skull background and the angel ornaments and you used my favourite colour combo. If you could make another shrine for me that's as identical as possible please let me know as I would love to swap again.

Comment: Amazing work,WOW !You have fantastic ideas and so much talent.The postal system was rough but I will fix it.Thank you so much for this special shrine! You deserve tons of hearts.
Response: I am so glad you liked it. I am really really bummed that it fell apart though. I am surprised, because I've always used Gorilla Glue Superglue, which I always thought contained the magic of the Gods. :( Next time I will be way more conscious of packaging. Again - I am so sorry.

Hi! I see that you like matchboxes so I wanted to invite you to join my new group matchbox & more. It's mostly about matchboxes of various kinds but there are some other kinds of swaps (such as whimsy jars & lucky parcels). I hope you'll come be a part of the fun! Thanks!

Heya Heather, what's up with our private swap? Did you cancel it by accident? Did message you, but no answer. I have all the Labellos here waiting for you.

hugs
