About Me

Hi!

I am a 49yr old mom of two boys and I have been married 25 years now to a wonderful man who puts up with my crafting. Both of my sons are autistic (ASD). One is 21 and in college. The other is 14 and in 8th grade.

I love butterflies and woodland animals such as foxes and deer. I look forward to going to Disneyland in the future.

My family and I do celebrate secular holidays.

Please message me if a swap is late or gone missing. During this Covid-19 virus time, I am not directly handing my mail over to the post worker as per usual before clicking the SENT on Swap-bot. I am placing the swap in my mailbox and then clicking SENT otherwise I would forget to click SENT if I wait. Depending on when the USPS picks up the mail, it may be postmarked the day after I SENT it. This should not cause a problem as I send my mail off days before the send by date.

Favorite Crafts

I am taking a break from making books. I had a lot of fun making journals, magpie books and deco books but I have moved on a bit from them.

As of late I have been diamond painting, bead embroidery, stitching and might pick up miniatures again.

This is a couple of pictures of diamond painting. The first is using a light pad. It can help quite a bit for those that have difficulty seeing.

I tend to do diamond painting with special rhinestones. I just enjoy all the colors. Similar to what you see below. You can see more on my IG link at the top of my profile.

Favorite Music, TV & Books

I prefer listening to YouTube the most. I will have it on in the background while crafting. I do watch some shows on Netflix but it is on rare occasion. I have been watching DARK and Lucifer as of late.

I have actually never had a favorite book. I used to read lots of books as a teen. As I became older, I just had worse and worse reading comprehension. I read passages over and over and nothing stuck. I found it very frustrating. It took me a while but I found out it is from a symptom of fibromyalgia called fibrofog.

Small Things I Enjoy

I love stickers, except puffy. I subscribed to Stickii and would by all the packs. They are awesome stickers that are non kiddie, non alpha, great for planners. I highly recommend them. Check them out at this Stickii Link

I do enjoy stamped images that I can color in and add to my journals.

I do like Kawaii stationery but I am not picky about it. So if you are in a Kawaii swap that is particular don't worry about what you send to me. I am okay with receiving Diaso, American Kawaii, and cheap Sanrio.

Disney characters, especially Minnie and Mickey. Oh and Stitch.

Postcards - No preferences.

RAK

Had a bad day, week, month? Running low on note cards, stationery but want to keep swapping? Message me if you would like a RAK (Random Act of Kindness) and I will see what can be done.

Babaswork

No Thank you, please

Please as a side note, I do not wish to receive anything religious. I am not religious but respect all religions and the people who practice them.

Sadly, candy treats I cannot have. I am on a special diet from my physician.

Please no clothing or house hold items.

I really don't care for glitter.
Please Note: A tiny amount well stuck to the paper such as on a card or sticker is fine.

I don't care for confetti or sequins.

I personally don't use temporary tattoos so they just get passed along.

I personally don't use puffy stickers as they are don't match my aesthetic for journals and so I just pass them along.

I personally don't use classroom reward stickers but I do pass them along to a few teachers that love them.

Comment: I asked a native Californian what Humboldt County was known for. I was told it's where the best weed comes from. So all that rain is good for something!
Response: This is true! Though I have never partaken myself. Hehe

Comment: Hope you had a nice Disney trip! One day I'll get there. I went to Disney World FL as a kid, I remember going there and to Universal Studios FL. 70s/80s to me means shorts season! Heck, here in Chicago once the temp hits 40-45 degrees folks break out the shorts and sandals lol!
Response: They have been updating Toon Town so that Minnie Kitchen likely still will be there even better!

Comment: YES, lemon IS the new black! It's a sign you need more lemon in your life lol! Maybe a sign to get some kind of lemony treat - lemon pound cake? Love that your husband wanted a Switch for xmas and of course Animal Crossing to go with it! I've been playing a ton of Splatoon 3 lately - my hobbies are back and forth between that and diamond painting.
Response: I did get a lemon pudding cake recently which was so delicious! I want to find one of those lemon hand pies soon. Tehe

Comment: Oh! So I stumbled upon Youtube channels that seem to solely cover diamond art and I got mesmerized by them XD I found someone that also makes cool kits of their art, trying to remember her name... darn! Now that I've completed a handful of DPs, I definitely prefer round drills!
Response: I prefer round drills as well but sometimes doing a square for change is fun. <3

Comment: Thank you for the coloring pc. I like the way your color choices accented previous users. May I ask why you sent a second card?
Response: Sorry for the confusion about the second card. I get extras sent to me because I host. I sent a message and would be willing take it back and send stamps to compensate for the cost.
