About Me

I am 40 and I live in VA with my hubby and daughter. They are my world! The best part of my life is being a mom! When your gone no one will remember what kind of car you drove or your desinger purses but my daughter will remember that she had a mom that loved her! I am truly blessed to have the wonderful family and friends that I have!

I add and delete little things on my profile depending on my mood. I do have everything in categories so you can read only what you want/need to.

I would describe myself as a fun and easy going person. I have a wicked and sometimes sarcastic sense of humor. I love dark things, rock music, and going to bars to see live bands. I love "girls night out" with my friends. I enjoy all different forms of art. I love to go to museums, plays, theater, etc. I also love to create my own art/crafts. I enjoy making things, it makes me happy (:

Likes and Dislikes

MY LIKES

These likes are only to give you a feel for the types of things that I like. I don't want anyone that reads my profile to feel stressed about swapping with me. I can't stress enough that what I have written on here is just meant as a guide to help you get to know me a little more, not as a list of things that I expect in any swap. For me this site is a way for me to swap with other talented artists! I think that we ALL have an artist inside and I appreciate everything that I receive from you!

A major dislike is a flaker! If you don't plan on sending then don't join the swap. I don't like it when people post pics of someone's art only for the purpose of trashing it. I don't like bullies.

Comment: Like, wow, Tracy, what a totally rad package!!! :) Love the Smurfy valentine and all the great candy! (Fun Dips were one of my favorites as a kid... still a guilty pleasure!) And HEATHERS!!!! YES!!! Such a classic! I still have a VHS copy somewhere, but no longer own a VCR... so I'm psyched to have my very own DVD! I'll probably watch it this weekend, while eating what's left of the candy (if any). :P I apologize again for the delay in picking up the package, but it was worth the wait, and totally made my Valentine's Day! (My hubby's gonna have to work pretty hard to top this one!) :) Would absolutely love to do another 80's-themed swap sometime. Thanks, Tracy!
Response: Happy to hear that you are enjoying the 80's goodies I sent. We will swap again soon! Thanks for your comment, rating, and heart.

Comment: Omg....seriously. I thought it can't be that swap already. I am so giddy. That inside is incredible. Did you snap photos before you mailed it? I will post them up with a link. It's sooooo cool. I'm still in the beginning base stage with yours. My dh is very impressed as well. He's home sick today, so he saw me open it. He thinks it's really cool. Thank you. A million hearts for you.
Response: Yay! I had a hard time parting with this, so I am really happy that you like it!! Hubby helped me get the pop up cards in there. I had a great time making this box! I took pics and when I find the cord for my camera I will post some. Thanks so much for the comment, rating, and heart. Hope to swap with you again!

Comment: Your photos came today and I have to admit that I was floored by your beautiful dissection of how you felt both before and after finishing this swap with respect to photography. I can see that there is a LOT of potential in your skills though. You framed many of your images beautifully and the way you chose to capture some of the concepts contained in the challenge was very creatively thought out. I particularly loved #4, #11, #21, and #30. I may well display one or all of these as soon as I get my own display area up! And PS - I would love to do an ATC swap with you sometime. Thank you so much for such a great swap!
Response: Thank you so much for your sweet commnets! This was a special swap for me. I have tried so many new things on sb and now I can say I have tried photography. I am beyond happy that you were able to see my attempt at creativity in these photos. As I said it is much harder then I thought. I hope to swap with you again, an ATC swap would be great!
