I’ve been swapping in crafts related items for over 15 years, yes online!! Probably before most of you even knew about the internet! I'm so glad that I've finally found Swap-Bot. I will always rate, I believe it rude not to, so please, please do the same for me.
My passions include photography and graphic design. I also enjoy scrapbooking, card making, painting, jewelry making, sewing, and pretty much any other craft you can think of! I have 21 and 14 year old boys. I am engaged and my fiance’ has a 3 year old boy. So I am surrounded by guys. So, I do take refuge in some of my girly things but I definitely tend to like more sophisticated-looking things rather than little girl things. I do like feminine things too though, like pink and sparkles. But anyway, I also enjoy dirtbiking and four-wheeling with the boys. I also enjoy riding my own motorcycle, nothing fancy, but all I can afford and I love it!
I do bookkeeping, payroll, consulting, and taxes for small businesses. I keep my rates reasonable and like to help out the other entreprenuers of this world!
I've grown up going to auctions, flea markets, and antique stores. Even though, I do like the modern decorating style with sleek, clean lines and blacks. I collect wine corks. I use any frames 11x14 or larger for my photography work, even if they are not in good shape, I can paint them! I tend to accumulate anything to do with art and crafts, like rubber stamps, rub-ons and papers. I especially like old, antique or unique papers, foreign writings, journals, accounting papers, or old labels, beer or pop bottle caps, tags, prayer cards, rosaries, charms or little metal doodads. Oh yeah, old or pretty hair pins or clips! I do love my accessories – scarves, jewelry, belts, and such! I guess this is where the girly, artsy side of me really comes out!
I love coffee, any kind, I love it all! I am trying to watch my weight so I love the 100 calorie snack packs, nuts, crunchy granola bars and that type of thing!
My traditional favorite color is dark purple. However, lately I am really into the black and white/cream with or without a touch of either red or pink!
I would love to receive items that are colorful and in a foreign (to me) language - business cards, tickets, mini-calendars, brochures, appointment cards, notes, etc.
Also, Love to receive your handmade items!
I love it all. I am a 70s and 80s girl at heart, but I like classical, big band, jazz, country, oldies, Christian, soft rock, hard rock, hip hop, you name it!
Anything romantic or comedy! I will not watch anything scary. All-time favorites are Flashdance and Bed of Roses.
Please no sweets full of calories, as I am trying to lose weight. I’m really not picky, there is not much that I don't like and I'm easy going.
Please see above info.... I love it all!! Especially papercrafts, scrapbooking, digital arts, photography, jewelery, and painting. I am not very interested in the needle arts any more though. I am in need of items for making charms - I am looking for old metal things, whatever might look cool added to a pendent or charm for a unique artsy look. I also make wine!
If you have a special thing that you make and it's creative, quality, artsy, or whatever, I would love to receive it! Time and effort are worth more than money spent in my opinion!
I haven't updated my website in a long time so I have a ton of new stuff and most of what is on there is for clients and not my art. But, If you are interested in swapping, I can get you some more to choose from.
If you want to do a one on one swap for your art let me know.
