NEWS:

Whoot. I'm baking my summer away and giving all the desserts to family members - otherwise I wouldn't fit in my swimsuits. xD

I'm making little critters and things with felt. I want to buy nice patterned fabric and try some projects. ^^

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 Being Human, Big Bang Theory, Community, Glee, Grey's Anatomy,How I met Your Mother, Modern Family, Vampire Diaries, Person of Interest, Anthony Bourdain "No Reservations", Master Chef, Top Chef,anything with Gordon Ramsey.

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

-------

I've started sewing with felt. It's loads of fun - the internet has so many patterns available. I now moving on to fabric.

I'm into paper crats: paper models, origami, altered matchboxes, cards, bookmarks, envelopes, and altered journals. I love making ATCs and matchboxes, 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, rice paper, and glittered paper.
  • Pens: Gel pens, sakura gel, sharpies, metallic, pens/markers to write on dark surfaces.
  • Stickers with texture, glitter, 3d stickers or some nice finish. Any stickers to decorate my envies with.
  • Other: Felt, Empty Altoid tins,Rub-Ons, Stamps and stamp inks.

"IF IT LOOKS GOOD, EAT IT!" Andrew Zimmern

  • 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 any chocolate January or February; summer's a killer and chocolate arrives as a semi-melted puddle.
  • Cookies My fav. are chocolate chip, gingerbread, sugar and butterscotch.
  • Favorite flavors Sweet and sour, onion, spicy, vanilla, or hot-and spicy, orange.
  • New and Unknown I'd like anything different or locally made (Wagashi, strange flavored kit kat, mochi).
  • From Italy Galatine candies
  • From Texas Habanero Praline and sweets by Lammes candy
  • From Greece Elbisco products, SOft Kings brownies, cookies and anything elese.
  • Last but not least: Other things I like are Hot Tamales candy, 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

I am not a big fan of the following:

  • Colors: Pastel colors, pink, avocado green, beige.
  • Music: Heavy metal, Salsa.
  • Food: white chocolate, licorice, cream/marmalade filled chocolates, prunes, anything Kinder brand.
  • Small things: Small table-top decorations,ceramics, knick-knacks and dollar store items.
  • Religious jewelry.
  • I can't wear earrings. (I can't have my ears pierced because of 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. I do love The Beattles and Micheal Jackson.

  • I've started taking an interest in Native American culture and art, so I'd be more than happy to receive anything- especially if you made it yourself!

  • Anything My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. I've seen a marvelous MLPF easter egg, oh how I wish I could buy it - take a couple of dozen phtos and share it with a few friends. We're all chocoaddicts. :D

  • Other random likes: bookmarks, dragons, unusual postcards (even free/ad ones), food themed postcards, keychains, feathers, anything geek, stickers to decorate my envies; odd unusual things, surprises!

  • I'd like to try:
    Uncommon flavored Kit-Kats

Comment: Thank you so, so much for the excellent package! I can't believe you wrapped **everything!** I'm very curious about the lime- and corn-flavored mixes; are they for... drinking? Puddings? Neat.
Response: You're welcome. The mixes are for drinking - you can add sugar if you wish, but they already have sugar added. ;)
