Serenity

P and S: I Will always send my end of a swap. I know I am new to swap-bot but I've been burned three times already. If ,IF for any reason it is going to be late I will contact you.
If you don't get something from me in a timely manner, PLEASE contact me I will resend, I want you happy with your experience and I don't want a low rating. Thank you so much, Seren.

OH and this has happened far to many times. IF you are NOT rated, I did NOT get a thing from you. In the past I have been nice and contacted people and reminded them that nothing has come. I will not be doing that anymore. If you join to many swaps to remember who you have sent to, then you may need to rethink your choices. If you join a swap and don't send, then maybe you need to be considerate of those who take this seriously.

I regularly go through my ATC's and other swap goodies to make sure I have not over looked rating someone. I am human and mistakes do happen. I will let you know if for some reason I rated late.

I am a very good loving person, I am considerate and am not hard to talk to. I understand life and hardships getting in the way of fun stuff. I have a father and sister both dealing with cancer at this time. I understand how things come up. Those who have contacted me I am so thankful for your communication.

Sorry to have to talk about the bad stuff right off the bat, but to be so new and still deal with flakers is just amazing to me. I will stop complaining now. Thank you for reading.

Good Karma everyone... Good Karma.

I am a midwest girl trapped in Texas. I lived with in 7 miles of my hometown all 40 years I lived in Michigan, three years ago I and my two children moved to South Texas close to the gulf and the border of Mexico. So that my children could have grandparents and family.

I am a jewelry designer. I love anything vintage and prefer to be surrounded by things that are old... I am new to ATC but am having a great time finding my own way of doing them. All the jewelry I create is vintage things or upcycled. I love to upcycle most anything.

I'm a lover of paper, all kinds of paper. Ephemera is something I collect, I'm not sure what to do with it, but it's a love of mine. I love gemstones and vintage findings.

I've made a living from restoring antique wicker and rush, splint, cane furniture etc... for folks all over .

I love most all music, but I am partial to Rap, R & B and Opera... OH and I love old school blues. Etta James, Billy Holiday, Howlin Jack Hawkins... when the blues were blue.

I just love books. I read just about anything, my shelves are brimming with books on nearly every subject.

I am partial to fantasy, you know mystical fantasy.

It's really hard for me to put a list of books or authors. My love ranges from Shakespeare to "Do it yourself" decorating.

Most of all my free time is spent doing some sort of crafty thing with my hands.

I have recently discovered that there are sharpie markers out there. LOLOL who would have thought I would discover the love of them.

My mother passed on to me my love of reading and my father any artistic ability I have. I am pleased to see that both my children love reading and drawing, creating. The creative process is so important to a person, it's not perfect and there is nothing perfect that I create.

It's my hope that what I make will be pleasing to my partner here on swap-bot. I am always looking to improve myself.

I love anything that has to do with nature. I come from a place filled with lakes, ponds, marshes, Trees... I now live in the desert so all the vegetation I have loved my whole life isn't no where around here.

So Trees and nature are very important to me.

I collect vintage playing cards. Sometimes I pass some on to swappers. I have a rather large collection.

I love boxes, I can't tell you why, but I am a box nut. doesn't matter the size or material.. My Sweetheart man just surprised me this morning with a tiny tiny 2x2 in box.. now the smallest I own.

Fixing and upcycling furniture pieces. Finding new purposes for anything to avoid the landfill. {I took a chair and used the backs as places to put my earrings. Pictures in flickr}

Mixing new and vintage things together to create something stunning.

I Love to garden. Love to grow and create things. It's my saving grace during hard times. Quilting, ATC, Jewelry design, Drawing, Candles, Dried flowers, Gathering Quotes, Vision Boards.

I may have to add things later. I didn't realize that so many folks want to know your favorite colors. So mine are the colour of a bruise.. No joke, they are... black, Purple, blue, pink.. dark colors... but I seem to be having a love affair with the color red right now and man alive brown and pink together is just stunning..

You know, I am so easy to please and I am thrilled to just have and take part in things. so what ever I am given I am most thankful for.
