NEWS: It's summer here and I'm already thinking up ways to cool down.

Please DO NOT send me any CHOCOLATE at the moment. January has started to really heat up and all the chocolates are starting to melt.

I'm giving cross-stitching a try; my first little attempt will hopefully be finished by the end of the month.

Here you'll find a bit about me; my profile might be a bit long, but I just want to give people as much info as possible. Don't let it's size discourage you from sending anything that might not be listed; experiencing new things is a reason I joined Swapbot.

I live in Perú (South America). Here you can find some of the best food in the world, some of the most colorful festivals, biodiversity, some of the worst driving, and quite a few thieves.

I'm a child at heart (even though I am 29), a graphic designer; creative and easily distracted, which can be explained by my ADD. (or is it the other way around?)

I am open to other religions and ways of thinking. Nonetheless, I don´t like to be forced into a belief system. I want to learn more about Buddhism, although I need more free time. Cooking has become a hobby and while my dishes are decent, there is rarely any dessert left over.

  • I will always rate a swap as soon as possible. If I feel you deserve a 1, I will mail you beforehand to talk things out.

  • I send out swaps before or on the send date. If I am to be late for a swap, I'll PM you, promise!

  • If you didn´t receive a package from me, please message me before rating me.

-------

I have a tendency to read anything and everything; from cereal boxes to novels.

Favorite books Fantasy (Terry Goodkind,George R. Martin, Neil Gaiman, etc.), fiction, comic books (Fantastic Four, Spiderman, Superman, All-star Superman, Teen Titans, Flash,JLA, etc.) and mangas (anything Hayao Miyazaki, Naruto, Tenchi Muyo, martial arts, etc.).

I also enjoy getting ideas from graphic design magazines, photos, nature magazines, papercrafting mags, and cooking magazines.

TV shows I watch Glee, Grey's Anatomy, Big Bang Theory, Smallville, Vampire Diaries, How I met Your MOther, Modern Family, The Dog Whisperer, Ghost Hunters, Anthony Bourdain "No Reservations", Master Chef, Exotic Foods, Top Chef Masters,anything with Gordon Ramsey or Jamie Oliver.

Anime has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. I've watched Naruto, Ranma 1/2, Sailor Moon, Deathnote, and a few others. Hayao Miyazaki rules! Top favs: My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away.

-------

I've begun making notecards and I've begun gathering up materials and inspiration.

I'm into paper models, origami, altered matchboxes, cards, bookmarks, envelopes, and altered journals. I love making ATCs and matchboes, but don't collect them - I just don't know what to do with them.

I can't crotchet for the life of me; I seem to be better at things involving paper, glass and metal.

Craft materials I'll always need:

  • Papers with gold/silver details, textured papers, patterned, satin texture, chiyogami, papier mache, kawaii origami paper, and glittered paper.
  • Pens: Micro/extra fine, gel pens, sakura gel, sharpies, metallic, pens/markers to write on dark surfaces.
  • Stickers with texture, glitter or some nice finish.
  • Other: Rub-Ons, Stamps and stamp inks.

  • Please DO NOT send me any CHOCOLATE at the moment. January has started to really heat up and all the chocolates. are starting to melt.
  • Jerky Anything jerky is worth a try.
  • Chocolate You can probably stick chocolate on anything and I´ll at least try it, if not like it. Please don't send me any chocolate until April; summer's a killer this year and it's melting all chocolate.
  • Cookies My fav. are chocolate chip, gingerbread, sugar and butterscotch.
  • Favorite flavors Sweet and sour, onion, spicy, vanilla, or hot-and spicy.
  • New and Unknown I'd like anything different or locally made (Wagashi, strange flavored kit kat,and mochi).
  • Cooking Gadgets I've been on the hunt for funky,cute, useful kitchen items- stencils, unique measuring cups, dishtowels, oven gloves, whisks, etc.
  • Last but not least: Other things I like are marzipan, marshmallows, coconut, dried mango, dried pears, dry cherries, oat cereal, diet jello-O, yogurts of any type, odd flavored Teas, Carambar and jalapeño pralines. Yum!

DISLIKES

  • Small things: Small table-top decorations,ceramics, knick-knacks and dollar store items.

  • I can't wear earrings. (I can have my ears pierced because I form quists)

LIKES

I prefer upbeat colors like violets, fuchsia, purple, yellows, oranges. I have a fascination for silver, monochromatic and earth colors as well.

I'm an animal lover (with the exception of roaches-let's just say I had two bad experiences). From those that I admire, the Orca, Siberian tiger, and the peregrine falcon are top on my list.

I don't have a favorite music; most of the time I just listen to pop and rock.

Favorite craft/clothes/design styles: Oriental fantasy, kawaii, modern or minimalistic.

Favorite smells: vanilla, orange, lemon, cinnamon,and any sweet or fruity scent.

Ongoing collections: key chains, magnets, comic books and tote bags.

I LOVE trying out new things! I've always wanted to make one of those plushie keychains. I enjoy trying new crafts, learning about other countries, and experiencing exotic foods.

I've always wanted to try out needlepoint, stuffies and magnets.

Comment: Thank you, thank you, and thank you some more. I really love the healthy snacks you sent - especially the dried fruit. Everything else looks good too though and since I love plain yogurt in the morning with fruit & some granola type cereal in it, I will have to try the granola cookie addition. I also loved your note (yes, sometimes chocolate desserts do seem to get in they way (or rather in my mouth) at times too. Your snack ideas sound good - definitely am going to try the sweet baked apple and the cup of fruit blended with milk for a milkshake. Great ideas!
