Business up front...

I rate fairly according to swap-bot's rating criteria. If I receive a swap that meets all posted swap requirements, including being sent on time, I rate a 5. If I personally feel the swap was extra special to me, and that actually happens a lot, I add a heart♥ For those that are new to swapping, and aren't aware, though, I'd just like to point out that it's generally considered very bad form to ask for hearts; it's really subjective. If the swap does not meet requirements, including being unreasonably late, I'll rate a 3. If I feel a reasonable amount of time has gone by and I have not received anything I will contact you first before rating a 1. I try to reflect my swap experience honestly and fairly, not only for the benefit of the person sending to me, but for the rest of the s-b community.

To those I send to, I pledge to swap unto others as I would have swapped unto me; I'll send on time (and would pm you if for some extenuating circumstance I couldn't), I'll put effort into making swaps that I hope would make my partners smile, and you can always count on me to rate quickly (although I do not check my POB every single day, so please don't get nervous if your d.c. says the package has been delivered & I haven't rated the same day; probably just haven't checked my box yet, give me a day or 2;)).
my swap-bot weak spot: replying to profile comments. I will reply to pm's (that need replying) but admit that since I can view comments from e-mail without logging into s-b, I sometimes forget to reply later or they get pushed off my profile quickly by other comments, and there is no way to mark them "unread". So the short of it is: if you really need a reply from me, better to pm than comment, though I do love sweet comments I get that require no direct reply!:)

These days I'm in less official swaps, and busy granting wishes for my favorite group:)

wishlist I also participate in other group wishlists and have so much fun granting wishes as well as finding happy surprises in my mail box!:)

getting to know me...

HI! I'm Nicole. I know I have a lot of information here, not intended to overwhelm, but because I personally really like to "get to know" my swap-pals. It can be frustrating to me personally to get a partner, go to their profile, and find little to go on. To me, this site is not merely about "what to send people" but human connections. However, for those of you who are the "less is more" sort, if you'll just please avoid the few items under "I'd rather not get these things", you could skip the rest of my ramblings, and we'll probably still be compatible ;) Also, please don't feel like you have to tailor your swap to my profile unless the swap calls for it specifically. I would love to see your unique creations!

So... about me: I'm Mexican-American, an only child, 30 something, a college graduate who doesn't think college is as imperative as people make it out to be, a happy homemaker (not a desperate housewife;)!), a Christian believer, married to a funny & sweet Brazilian man who is a contractor by profession. We have 2 daughters, 2 dogs, 2 (outdoor) cats, and 1 spoiled guinea pig boy. As a family, we are generally playfuI and affectionate. We live in the land of kudzu (the Japanese plant that ate the southeastern US), sweet tea, home-cookin', church going, drawls, historical appreciation, hospitality, steel magnolias, and wilting humidity, y'all!:) I home educate my girls, and my favorite hobbies are reading, exploring near and far, bread baking, treasure hunting and swap-bot, natch!:)

Places I've visited are: Mexico (many times), Brazil (2x), France(2x), Canada (2x), England, Spain, and Cuba, as well as Puerto Rico and many U.S. states. I love to travel, even though I'm skittish about flying!:-P I can speak Portuguese and Spanish fairly well. French comes back to me (vaguely) when forced. I am now taking Greek classes; opa!:)

I have a pen-pal (UK) who I've corresponded with regularly for 22 years (since grade school).

passed through a valley My precious mom, Penny, passed away on May 14th, 2O1O due to a rare, sudden, and aggressive form of cancer, malignant paraganglioma. She was only 56 years old; less than six weeks earlier she had appeared to be in perfectly normal health, and it developed so quickly, it was a shock loosing her. I am my parents' only child, and my mom was truly my best friend. We saw eachother 3 or 4 days a week. This also came after my husband lost both of his parents to cancer, (his dad in July '04, and his mom in March '09), and we lost 4 other much loved members of our extended family within the same 6 year period of time as well. So much grief in such a relatively brief time changes a person. Swap-bot is my favorite hobby, and it's been great therapy to be active and stay busy here. It's also been a true comfort to hear from others who have walked a similar path of grief. "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning..." (Lamentations 3:22-23) That's why I leave this up on my profile; to let others who may be struggling through similar circumstances know they are not alone♥

some stuff I like A-Z: ♥ art (esp. mail art, photography, impressionism, street art, folk art, water colors), Appalachia
♥ Bible study, books, botanical gardens, bread baking, beaches, (Romare) Bearden, bluegrass, bird watching, Brasil! ♥ collage, cameras, Canada ♥ dollhouse minis, dancing, (Robert) Doisneau photos, (Ted) DeGrazia's art, dandelions, daffodils ♥ eco/earth friendly items ♥ faith, family, Fiestaware, foreign/ethnic folk art, fair trade, first ladies (esp. J. Kennedy and before) ♥ "green" products & living, Greek (learning the language!), Guinea Pigs! ♥ Harry Potter saga
♥ islands ♥ "Jesus freaks", Jewelry! (mostly handmade)
♥ kiwis, kayaking ♥ love, laughing, London ♥ music, movies, museums, map postcards, monotremes, MPB, Mexico, Mediterranean style,
♥ nature walks, NYC, Nativity ♥ Olympic games (summer & winter)
♥ poetry, photography, parks, Pixar, postcards, Paris
♥ quirkiness ♥ re-purposed materials ♥ Statue of Liberty, strawberries, sandcastles, seashore, sailboats, simple living & self sufficiency
♥ tiger lilies, tea time ♥ umbrellas ♥ vacations, Van Gogh ♥ wild flowers, whimsy, whole foods ♥ Xenoepists;) ♥ (fancy) yarns ♥ zzzzz's -_-

my style: I tend towards things that are timeless, with a bohemian twist.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! I love useful items made from re-purposed materials (like necklaces made from paper beads, zipper coin purses made from juice boxes, bowls made from telephone wire, dishtowels made from old clothes, etc)

my collections: ♥ owl postcards ♥ map postcards ♥ state flower &/or bird postcards ♥ seaglass and largish or unusual seashells ♥

I also love images of pennies (in honor of my mom, whose name was Penny) ♥

dream destinations: islands! The Greek Isles, New Zealand, Galapagos, Cabo Verde, Azores, British Isles, Hawaii, PEI, Madagascar, Indonesia, Tierra del Fuego... sigh I'd also really like to take a Mediterranean cruise someday and, besides Greece, also visit Turkey, Israel, and Egypt.

favorite colors/ combos: blues & purples (all shades from indigo & eggplant to sky blue & lavender), shades of aqua/turquoise/teal, greys.
Depending on the item, or combinations, I suppose I actually like all colors to some degree, but I do tend to lean towards the darker end of the spectrum. I think most colors can either be lovely or garrish depending on the presentation. The only colors I really dislike are what I call "poopy" colors like mustard, pea green, avocado, or chartreuse. Oh, and I don't wear yellows or greens (blue green/ turquoise is fine), though I like them otherwise; they simply aren't flattering against my complexion.

jewelry I enjoy pretty handmade jewelry: especially wooden or hammered metal bangles, and glass or polymer beaded necklaces, earrings, or bracelets. Bohemian to romantic to classic, dainty to BIG statement pieces, it's all good! My etsy faves might give an idea of my tastes. My ears are pierced (nickel free is best). My wrists are just barely 7", and I prefer necklaces to be longish (though my 14 yo will gladly take Victorian-look chokers should you want to pass any along;). No thanks to anklets or toe-rings. Thrifted or regifted is great as long as it's not broken or cruddy, please, I have received some broken jewelry and just dont know how to fix or repurpose it unless it mainly consists of great beads I could reuse:P

my stats should anyone ever want to, say, make me some flannel pj pants, or a bib apron, or knit socks, etc; I'm 5'5", a ladies size 12 (US), or large (but not x-large that's too big, and not juniors large, that's too small) and my feet are a ladies size 9 (US). jic;)

My home: I feel more at peace when my home is simple and uncluttered, so I tend to enjoy things that are useful, less so things that sit on shelves and collect dust. Useful things I like: cotton kitchen or hand towels, potholders/oven mitts, vintage (thrifted) serving spoons as well as measuring spoons & cups, cloth napkins & placemats, pretty pillowcases, small bowls or baskets or tins for holding jewelry, etc, and original artwork suitable for framing in any size 4x6" or larger:)

snacks: My very favorite snacks are l'a'rabars yum, yum! I also like dried fruit/fruit leathers, freeze dried fruits, and individual packs of organic oatmeal.

TEA preferences & wishlist
I quit drinking black teas for the sake of my kidneys. Mostly all I drink these days are select flavored rooibos and flavored (not plain- yuck) green teas.
My all time favorite teas for everyday are Bigelow Earl Grey GREEN, & TAZO Organic Apple Red!
My tea wishlist:
~any organic or fair trade teas
~ Albert Heijn Marshmallow smaak thee
~any of the following flavors of Yogi brand teas ; Aztec Sweet Chili, Chai Rooibos, Egyptian Licorice Mint, Himalayan Apple Spice, Mayan Cocoa Spice, Rooibos sweet peach, Tahitian Vanilla Hazelnut

My tea dislikes are anything with lemon, red fruits, berries (like zingers), or Mandarin Spice.

I'd rather not get

absolute no thank-yous:
1~ Allergies:
Sadly, I've developed peri-oral dermatitis (basically super sensitive skin around my mouth area), so I have to avoid using any topical products or ingesting anything containing (among other things): cinnamon flavoring, petrolatum, paraffin (min. oil), sodium lauryl sulfate. This basically means most cosmetics and many yummy things I previously enjoyed are OUT:(
While I find them adorable, I'm allergic to cats, so please try not to send cat fur;-)
I also seem to be allergic to wool :( even handling it makes my hands itchy.

2~ values:
Please NO imagery/items that would be considered clearly pagan, occult, new-age, or religious other than Christian (i.e. no Hindu goddesses, Buddhas, tarot, pentagrams, etc) I thank you for respecting my personal beliefs on this, and will do the same for my partners whatever theirs may be :-)~I should also add that I usually open packages with my girls, and prefer to only receive things that are appropriate at least for them to see (not have to hide away), so please keep it G/PG! ;)

Not so much/dislikes: The stuff below won't offend or make me itch, but in the interest of full disclosure, I feel I should be honest about what I have personal preferences not to acquire (i.e. would possibly re-swap) because I do like to know my partners preferences:
the scents of vanilla, lavender, pine, or patchouli do not agree with me, nor do most extremely floral scents or coffee scented stuff... I dislike coffee flavor & licorice candy... I never use loose glitter for any purpose..... No one in our home is into most toddler TV characters (Dora, Blues Clues, Sesame Street, Care Bears, etc...), we don't use foamy shapes..... I do not participate in friendship books or anything similar, so please don't send any to me;)
I don't care for snide, snarky, bratty, egotistical, self centered, or sarcastic sorts of quotes, such as "It's all about me, deal with it." etc. To each their own, that's just not my style. Nor for my children, please.
I have enough to last a while:
memo pads, ballpoint pens, pencils, erasers, recipe cards. I probably have enough paper products to last a lifetime (common crafters affliction, right?). My mom left me with a lifetime supply of scrapbook papers and tools (and I don't even sb!) so, I definitely don't need more of that unless it's a specific profile theme.
please no more: classroom reward stickers (I don't have any use for them, even as "pass-ons"),
expired products- eww. Please check use-by dates, I do :P and if it doesn't have an expiration date on it at all, eh, I'll pass.
Please no cosmetic, bath, or body products. Because everyone in our family has super sensitive wonky skin, we try to be extremely selective with most of our H & B products, and mostly stick with Burts Bees & Kiss My Face products, so it's generally best not to send any face/body stuff, thanks!

things I'd especially like

I love snail mail & am easily pleased, so other than the dislikes I've listed above, I'm mostly happy with anything pleasant. But here are some things, in no particular order, that I'm craving for those (like me) who want lists & info!;-) For all of these, when appropriate, gently used or passed on is fine by me!:)
♥ any literature or encouragement on simple living, whole foods, &/or self-sufficiency
♥ handmade jewelry
♥ supplies for making jewelry. I can use memory wire, ball chains, French hooks, and lampwork, Czech glass, or polymer clay beads
♥ letterpress or embossed stationary sheets or note cards with or without matching envies
♥ wallet size or 4x6" magnetic photo sleeves
♥ a Peacefrogs sticker (angel or soccer)
♥ a round "life is good" sticker for my car
♥ old PASTE magazine Cd's (#s 1-22)
♥ I have a very eclectic music collection and recently realized that what I am short on is traditional country &/or bluegrass music. I'd love cd's of anything you enjoy, preferably music with lyrics.
♥ dollhouse miniatures (I have a contemporary doll house, not an "old fashioned" period house)
♥ any Burts Bees or Kiss My Face
l'a'rabars yum!
COUPONS
I've seen it's popular now to add the types of coupons you can use in your profile, which I think is a wonderful, practical idea! However, I mostly shop for my groceries at local farmers markets and through a farm co-op that I'm a part of, so unfortunately I can't use many. HOWEVER, a few things I do purchase elsewhere that I would appreciate coupons for anytime (assuming, hope it goes without saying, that there is some time left before they expire) are for:
~Burt's Bees & Kiss My Face brand beauty products
~any name brand teas (Celestial Seasonings, Tazo, Stash, Bigelow, Yogi, etc)
~Purina Beneful Dog Food & Meow Mix cat food
~Red Mill Products
~Method brand cleaning products
~Phillips light bulbs
~Chick-fil-A coupons for the occasions when we indulge in fast food :)

homemade 'n' crafty stuff

To be honest I'm really not too diverse in terms of being crafty, although I have a great appreciation for people who are.
I do a bit of knitting, but just the basics; I've not yet been very ambitious with it, and I'm trying to teach myself to crochet with you-tube tutorials.
I've begun doing some beading as well, but again, just the basics so far, nothing fancy. I can always use memory wire, ball chains, French hooks, and lampwork, Czech glass, or polymer clay beads

I enjoy making mail art and I keep a collage journal of found images; I think it's like what people refer to as a "gluebook" on a sort of grand scale. I'd also like to begin keeping a nature journal someday...

I went through an ATC phase, but really don't make or collect them much anymore, with the exception of a few specific themes (owls, gnomes, robots, mermaids).

More of a hobby than a craft; I also have a contemporary dollhouse that is a looong term ongoing project so I always love dollhouse minis that are contemporary rather than "old fashioned".

I do not cross-stitch, do embroidery, quilt, or sew, so I really have no use for supplies pertaining to those crafts. Please don't waste perfectly good supplies on me:) though I would love to receive samples of your needle work!

As of 2011, I have embarked on "real baking" (i.e. grinding my own wheat and grains and using whole, organic, unprocessed, non-industrialized ingredients), and generally becoming a whole foods enthusiast (raw milk- yes!). This stems from a desire to both live/eat healthier, and because homemade and natural just beats storebought and processed in terms of tastiness every time;) I make lots of muffins & breads, so cupcake papers, and organic cinnamon, spices or vanilla beans are always appreciated:)

I do greatly admire other people's crafts and art, and would truly cherish anything handmade for me that anyone wanted to send me.

my family

This is some info for swaps that are geared towards our children &/or family, which I try to do occasionally for the dears, they get so excited about fun mail!
My girls are my constant companions. Anyone who puts in some little thing appropriate for sharing with them in my swaps automatically scores big with me:)

We try to stay away from aspartame (found in most sugar free products). Sugar is fine in moderation, though!:)

Please no bath, cosmetic, or body products. They've both suffered from eczema off and on over the years and our family has to be selective with most of those products- thanks!:)

things they both love: anything handmade just for them, Disney trading pins, fun socks (ladies size), "family" or oldies (Fred Astaire, Bob Hope, etc) DVDs that still play well, sour gummy candies.

My oldest girl, RM is 15 (10/96). Her style is kind of quirky and artsy, not typically girly or frilly. She enjoys: music (piano, ukulele, her i-pod); baking, knitting, kayaking, the colors red, grey/silver, black, blue, dark purple (she does NOT like pink), Christian-teen stuff, Lolcats, Edward Gorey, Mariachis, Mexican culture, the old TV show The Addams Family, cooking shows, Tim Burton's movies, the Phantom of the Opera, and the Harry Potter books & movies. She has played piano for 8+ yrs, has taken voice & guitar lessons, taught herself to play the ukulele and now student teaches ukulele to younger children, so she very much identifies herself with music. She also does ballet for fun. She is not froufrou girly, but is into experimenting with fashion and likes trendy accessories (hats, arm warmers, etc) and quirky-cute-retro stuff. She loves fun socks, esp. toe socks (with a space for all 5 toes) and jewelry with a dark victorian feel or something quirky & offbeat. Her room is decorated in scarlett & grey with black & white (Ohio State colors; she's a fan). In general, she's not too into country music, but she is a big fan of Dolly Parton & Johnny Cash. She loves the era & style of the 1940's.

My youngest girl, LB is 9 (6/02) and girly, but also a sporty daredevil with an adventurous spirit and quite a little jokester. She loves dogs, kittens, bunnies, pandas, foxes and any other cute animals (no creepy crawlies), and especially likes guinea pigs. She enjoys being outdoors, nature journaling, Harry Potter, Narnia, sparkly things, bright yellow, blue, lime green, turquoise, playing piano, dancing everywhere she goes (she does ballet), fun socks (girls large or ladies), art & poetry (she enjoys memorizing poetry). She is really into country music and likes The Band Perry, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, & Scotty Mcreery. For t-shirt purposes, her clothing size is a girls 14 (yes, she is outrageously tall for her age, people find it hard to believe she is only 9!) or juniors small. She also loves playing basketball, and is pretty good, I think:)

Finally, I can't forget to mention my husband, Charlie; he is the only guy in our home of bossy girls;) He's a fun loving, easy going, hard working Brazilian guy who loves soccer, adidas, Pink Floyd, F-1 racing, turtles, old style nautical (ships & sailing), pool (billiards), cigars, and bird-watching. I'm working on a long term project of decorating a guys billiards room for him and his friends to hang out in, and would love postcards in any of those themes to put on a cork board for him. He also loves any international soccer or World Cup souvenires, or F-1 racing from around the world.

For random stuff or profile surprise swaps, sending stuff my family would enjoy instead of specifically geared towards me is always ok if it makes it easier on my partners in any way, but of course, is not expected.

P.S. I'm so proud of my kitty-boy, the first beauty pageant winner in our family:) He won second place overall, but first place for a boy, so we consider him the "King" of the contest;)

postcards

I have a large collection of map postcards, and always have room for more, especially countries outside the US, or US cities, regions, state parks, etc. I'm now also trying to collect state or country symbols (birds, flowers, etc)

Other types of postcards I would enjoy include street art/guerilla art/graffiti, scenic multi-view, islands, water scenes (beaches, waterfalls, etc), majestic sunsets, owls, b&w photography from the early-mid 1900's (think Dorothea Lange or Robert Doisneau) soccer, F-1 racing, old style nautical, dance (popular and retro), Appalachia, nature scenes, images of mothers with children, Presidents & First Ladies, & winter wonderland scenes

Postcards I don't really care for include city views, novelty, or crude humor.

My media

books I love to read and set a yearly goal of 24 books read (not including Bible Study and children's books). I truly enjoy Bible study and find great joy in reading scripture, and enjoy many books on Christian living. Memoirs, and non fiction seem to be my primary choices for a good read these days, such as: The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio by Terry Ryan, Zeitoun by Dave Eggers, The Last American Man by Elizabeth Gilbert, Riding in Cars with Boys and Looking for Mary by Beverly Donoffrio, Child of the Jungle by Sabine Kuegler, Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet, The Big Rumpus by Ayun Halliday, Don't Lets Go to the Dogs Tonight and Scribbling the Cat by Alexandra Fuller, and Crunchy Cons. Certain fiction does stand among my favorites, though, including: The Way of a Pilgrim, The Little Prince, Time Traveler's Wife, The Shack, Wolf Whistle, The Red Tent, and everything I've read by the authors C.S. Lewis, Tom Robbins, Loisa May Alcott, L.M. Montgomery & J.D. Salinger to name a few. If you'd like to pass along a book to me that you think I might like, that is always appreciated.

music I enjoy a bit of nearly everything including Rock, singer-songwriters, reggae, Christian (gospel and contemporary), some R&B, old-school country, classical, even a bit of rap/ hip-hop, and various world music- I especially LOVE Brazilian MPB and bossa-nova. I don't like anything that would be described as "hardcore", though, be it rock, metal, electronica, rap, etc. I listen to a lot of Contemporary Christian with my kids. I'm always open to receiving cd's or mixes you think I might like... To give you an idea, some all time favorite artists include: Ben Harper, Johnny Cash, Third Day, Switchfoot, Al Green, Dolly Parton, Bob Marley, Billy Joel, Queen, Dixie Chicks, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Seu Jorge, Roberto Carlos, Marisa Monte, Harry Connick Jr, the Weepies, Patsy Cline, the Ramones, the Beatles, the Cure, Crowded House, the Puppini Sisters, Fiona Apple, Gabriel O Pensador, Joni Mitchell, Willie Nelson, Jackson 5, Cafe Quijano, Cesaria Evora, and I harbor an embarrassing love for ABBA and the BeeGees ♥ I'm currently obsessed with Gotye & Kimbra!

movies I mostly like movies that are uplifting, either in a thoughtful or just plain silly way, but occasionally something slightly "dark" might slip in, but no horror! Some movies I'd love to have a copy of that my library system does not have on DVD, should someone want to pass along a gently used but still playable copy, or maybe a bargain bin find: *Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, Waiting for Guffman, For your Consideration, Big, Cry Baby, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Where Angels Fear to Tread, Enchanted April, Muriel's Wedding, Citizen Ruth, Garden State, O Brother Where Art Thou, Flywheel, The Fox and the Child (English version), Punchdrunk Love, O Auto da Compadecida (Brazilian film), Finding Neverland, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, Toy Story 3, How to Train Your Dragon. I'm also very willing to do private trades for these.

I don't like to sit and watch much tv, I always have to be multi-tasking; but I will sometimes watch I Love Lucy or talent shows (American Idol, America's Got Talent, Xfactor) with my daughters because they like for me to:). Every 2 years, I do love to watch the winter or summer Olympic games, and the World Cup every 4 years.

my favorite swaps to do...

mail art
hand-made jewelry
destash I particulary enjoy receiving good books, flavored green or rooibos teas, knitting or crochet needles, handmade jewelry (re-swaps fine), blank A6 or A7 note cards for me to mount my photos on and send out, larger size (4"x6"+) note cards with envies, letterpress or embossed stationary items, postcards, baking supplies (like cupcake papers), artsy "grown up" stickers, cd's or dvd's that still play well which you think I might like based on my profile... profile surprise
postcards
stuff for the kids
color themed swaps

that's the end:)

Wow, what a nice surprise, receiving a book from you in the mail today! This is much more than I was expecting for my wish. (For the CPG Jan. wishlist.) Thanks! I had you for the thrift store treasures swap, and our packages probably crossed in the mail.... so you should get it soon!
