I love doing craft projects mostly from recycled items I find around my place. Anything utilizing the HOT GLUE GUN. Enjoy decoupaging too!

Creating & designing collage ATC's,altered art, themed match boxes,magnetic inchies, and anything to do with paper crafting.Have done scrapbooking and slowly returning to it. In fact I'm learning digital scrapbooking at the moment.

Will be going back to embroidery & refreshing my sewing skills as well. Currently shopping around for my very first sewing machine too!

I collect & love light houses,magnets, cigar or hat boxes, love the color purple, yellow roses are my favorite flower, have a thing for handbags, purses, wallets, high heels (size 8.5), lipsticks (mauve-red colors), charm bracelets (nothing religious) & rings, fragrances, candles, nail polish, lip gloss,mineral makeup just to name a few!!

I recently began working on some new craft projects such as creating "MATCH BOXES", WHIMSICAL JARS & INCHIES and would love to learn DOTEE DOLL (however I do not have a sewing machine just yet-working on it). I've done FRIENDSHIP BOOKS back in the70's-growing up in HAWAII--however never done or received one yet in my adulthood.lol!

DISLIKES:

I adore animals but prefer not to receive anything animal related. Thank you!

I think all those KAWAII items are cute but not FOR ME. So please keep them or share them with other swap partners that share the same likings. Thank You!

I love candies but not these; dark chocolate, black licorice, fruity or creme filling ones. Thank you!

I love GOD but prefer not to receive any religious item(s) or anything to do with religion. No offense to anyone! Thank you.
