this swap almost didn"t make it to me. my husband found it on the front lawn in this state.



Please know I hold all my swaps very high in priority and never "NO SEND" anything. That's just not my way. If I'm going to be late, I'll do my best to let you know ahead of the due date. However my life randomly likes to take the wheel and steer me right into a brick wall.
If you feel I've missed something or you didn't receive something from me, please pleeeease PLEASE let me know before rating me a 1. Thanks.
Thanks to those of you who I have swapped with who put their heart and soul into things! It's much appreciated! I love all the swaps I receive that have been made with attention, love and care. I swap for the joy of swapping, not to rate someone on their artistic skills. I love seeing what others do and make. It makes me HAPPY!
GIVEN UP HOPE ON A CHANGED RATING FOR MY 1 rating. Tried to contact person and no response. Three mailings later and my rating stays unchanged.
I liked seeing this on a few profiles I've been checking out recently. It's a nice way to have everything all together in one place so heres my swap progressions:
CURRENTLY WORKING:
.I've been a mailart hound since 1997..maybe even earlier, but I got really serious in 1999.
My name is Chelsae, though most of my friends just call me Chel, or Chels. I'm 36 and addicted to art.
I'm a mom, wife, daughter,sister, friend, and avid pack rat artist. I love finding fun things to use in art and have too many "junk" boxes to even use it all. I've actually started to pare down a bit by letting my artist friends pick over my stashes.
This is a year of great ups for us: My husband and I celelbrated our 15th wedding anniversary in October and welcomed our first child in July of this year. He's our special little miracle boy and we're just smitten.
This year couldn't have come at a better time. We had a year of downs last year, losing my mother-in-law to Lung cancer in November last year after dealing with a year of her being "ill" and not knowing what it was.
Knit,crochet, altered arts,sewing, making jewerly, making miniature fairy dolls, plushies, broches, felt creatures and wearable art, ATCS, I'm a SHARPIE ADDICT! I'm a dabbler..I'll try anything once....and get easily addicted to new things
I'm totally addicted to music. My music love ranges from classical,jazz, and the like to alternative and more. I totally love music.
My favorites currently are The Avett Brothers, Amos Lee, Iron and Wine, Tina Dico, Feist, Maroon5, Rufus Wainwright, Marvin Gaye, Norah Jones, Cake, Radiohead, Emogen Heap, Charlotte Martin, Jet, Steely Dan, Crosby Stills and Nash(and sometimes Young) Ben Harper, Regina Spektor, Charlotte Martin, and on and on and on....
manta/stingrays, aligators,bats,horses, bears, elephants, mice, rats, dolphins, otters, owls, capybara, the purple frog (not just frogs that are purple, dumbo squid, vampire squid, axoloti,
umm...LOTS of animals! there are very few I don't like! :)
Greens, Blues, Purples in various combination. I like most colors really though I'm not a huge fan of oranges. However oranges sometimes work and are needed. Favorite combos, Aqua or Turquoise and Brown, Pinks and Browns, Hot Pinks and Black, Grey and Aqua, Greens and Blues, Reds and Black
I love televison. I don't get to watch like I used to as I'm making healthier life choices (well sometimes) and tend to not sit in front of the "boobtube" anymore.
Favorites from the past: Firefly, Friends, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, The Young Ones, Monty Python
Favorites currently: The Office, Lost, Eureka, Dirty Jobs, Modern Family (talk about a show that makes you laugh out loud! ) ugh I could go on and on...let's just say my dvr isn't large enough to house all my obsessions.
I'm a discovery channel addict I get the additional channels of discovery, the history channel and those sorts of things and I'm constantly dvr'ing something to watch. I love anything on Egypt, or ancient history

Thanks for being a member of the Crafting Queens~
Hey there, Chelsae ^^ I'm your partner in the Animal-Shape-Card swap and I just noticed I didn't say anything about the animals I like... sooo... I would love anything made with love and care, but if you need some inspiration, I love rodents and raccons ^.^ I love your mail art ^.^ Cheers ^0^/
thanks!! the furry ones are more obedient than the non furry ones :-)
Hi there - I "sent" to you for the swap - Cute Cuddly Toy-flood relief.. I emailed the pics to you a couple days ago, and noticed you read my private message I sent.. just wondering if you received my email with the pictures of what I sent to Helen Joy? I haven't gotten a rating from you yet so just wanted to make sure you got it :-)
Hey Chelsea ! Your page has So much information and you are part of a lot of groups. I love the idea with the gnome, I have done that in the past with small yukon cornelius taken on camping trips! I too have a weakness for DVR and discovery network anything! Your fairies are absolutely fantastic. My niece would love one especially since she is into blue water fairies. Thank you for all you shared on your profile. it sure seems you are a very dedicated swapper! happy swapping! -Lisa, partner for 'read my profile and post a comment' swap

HI Chelsea!
Congrats on 15 years of marriage! I'm on my 13th. Time flies doesn't it? And there's nothing better than a bundle of joy! That's so awesome! Motherhood is the best job in the world! Not to mention the hardest. :) My baby will be 10 this year and I just can't stand it. I see you're an animal lover....you would get along great with my daughter. She wishes we lived on a farm so she could have all the animals she wants! We have two dogs and a rabbit. Isn't that enough? haha!You and I have some color combo similarities. Hope we get to be partners in a swap real soon! Have a blessed New Year! Blessings, Trish "Read profile Swap"
Hello. I am one of your partners in the "Read My Profile and Leave a Comment swap". I enjoyed getting to know you through your profile. One thing we have in common is that I also love the Discovery Channel. We homeschool and I will let my children watch all the TV they want as long as it is Discovery Channel. I also wanted to tell you that right now if you check the Swap-bot blog, they are doing a promotion where if you send a hat or gloves for homeless in NYC, the administrators here will remove one rating. Might be a way to get rid of that pesky 1 you don't deserve. Happy Swapping to you in the new year. sherri
Oh my goodness....you left a comment on my profile for the 'read my profile swap' so I thought I'd check out your profile. As soon as I saw the gnome I felt a connection! lol We have a paper gnome that travels through our department at work and shows up in strange place and odd times. Whenever your gnome starts roaming again he can always find a place to rest with me!
