• November and December are my worse months for wish granting. It's a very depressing time of year for my family and I (lots of deaths and bad stuff seem to happen around this time of year. My great-aunt Anna just died on Friday Oct. 30, sis broke up with her boyfriend Nov.1, an aunt just lost her job of 20 years on Oct 30th too). Money is always really tight for me because I try really hard to brighten the days of my mom, sister, grandma and aunt. So, please forgive me if I don't grant my usual 20-35 wishes during these months.

• If I've never sent one to you and you think it's personal (not likely), please send me a PM. The wishes I send are fairly random for the most part.

• I mainly send wishes in this order: people who ask for things I've already bought/have, international wishes, people that I know will be grateful, good swappers/wish-granters, new members and wishes that I suddenly have the money for. :D
• I always have postcards, stickers, notecards, collage materials (magazine/book cutouts, paper scraps, tags, etc) and technically old craft magazines (I say technically because although I have them, magazines are a bit pricey to mail).

About Me

I've suffered from major/chemical depression for almost 23 years and Social Anxiety Disorder for a decade. Yep, I'm nothing but parties and hijinks!

Bones, The First 48, History Detectives, CSI New York and Las Vegas, Torchwood (even though I've missed most of both seasons)and most shows on History, Discovery, BBC America and Tru. Oh, I also like Animal Cops, Eureka and Ghost Hunters!

Beading, clay, paper crafts and typical "kid" crafts. I don't really know how to do anything, I just putter along. Knowledge takes time, patience and energy...all of which I lack. I really want to learn how to sew again. I stopped sewing in junior high and can't remember a thing!

Likes

• Tree items for my mom. She likes fall and winter trees the best (notecards, rubber stamps, stickers, bookmarks, etc)

Books!

I like mysteries (cozy/humor/romantic suspense), humor, urban paranormal/sci-fi, manga, humorous romance, easy crafts/kids crafts books, mental floss books, stupid crook/peope/quote books and books about faries/elves/gnomes/dragons (childrens, "facts", etc)

What books am I looking for? Vintage childrens, craft/pattern and coloring books. Current interests are in my Amazon Wishlist (link at top). Used books are great if they're in good (readable) condition. Please don't send me a Bookcrossing book, because I'll feel really guilty for receiving it. (I donate all my books to the local library, so it's journey will end with me!)

Zines!

My favorite type of zines is similar to my favorite books, but I'll read just about anything once!

For those who browsed my Etsy Faves, Yes, I love paper dolls and paper playsets/toys!

Colors: Silver, greens, blues and creams

Animals: Cats, dogs, birds(esp. owls and chickadees), turtles, pandas, koalas, wolves, panthers, dragons and leopards.

DISLIKES DISLIKES DISLIKES

• Selfishness

• All bugs and insects. I have arachnophobia and entomophobia. This includes ladybugs and butterflies, but I won't throw a fit about it since I know some of y'all can't help yourself. I used to love them, but the older I get, the wussier I get!

• Anything dealing with rape, assault and acts of physical and mental violence/abuse. Too personal, too close to my heart, makes me cry and helps the depression.

• Although I don't like glitter, I won't throw a fit if you use it (Some of y'all use Martha or Stickles and I know those are expensive!) Please don't send me glitter for my crafts. I seldom use it and when I do, I use glass glitter (which is basically just crushed and sanded glass)

• Kuromi, Chococat and Pankunchi from Sanrio.

• Snoopy (stickers, memos, pens, etc for my Mom and anything for me)

• Garfield

• MUTTS

• Little Miss Lucky, Little Miss Sunshine, Mr. Noisy, Little Miss Shy, Mr. Forgetful and Little Miss Magic from Mr. Men and Little Miss.

• Baby Beaker from Muppet Babies

• Chilly Willy

• Get Fuzzy

• Any Paperchase item (esp. owls, skulls, food with faces and the silly characters such as robots, goofy pets and monsters)

• Deadhead Bears (The Grateful Dead Bears)

• Cute skeletons

• Cute cows (there was a company in Canada that sold cute cow stuff, but I don't remember the name!)

• Cute hamsters

• Snowmen (not the Frosty that airs on TV though!)

• Elves, fae, gnomes, wee folk, dryads, etc. Prefer cute or beautiful over the horror type, but that doesn't mean they can't be wicked!
