HELP my Gnome Roam!!!

Cap'n Nemo

Hi there! I've got this wee Gnome that needs to roam. Cap'n Nemo is his name and travelin' is his game. He needs to come and visit you. Would you like to help? Send me a message and we'll get him packed up and shipped off. I'd love to see pictures of him in your area, visiting some of your favorite places all I ask is that you send me the images through email and allow me to post it on his blog.

Cap'n Nemo is a gift for my friend. She doesn't know of his travels yet, but she will soon! So help me, help Cap'n make his way around the world!

Places Cap'n has been so far:

Butler Pennsylvania (home base)

Pittsburgh PA (playing bingo)

Salisbury NC

Charlotte NC

Grandfather Mountain NC

Hicksville VA

New River Gorge Bridge

WHERE CAP'N IS CURRENTLY: In Gorgeous New Mexico! Hanging out taking in the art,scenery and culture of New Mexico.

Places he's heading next:

FLORIDA! (hmmmm, sunny and humid, I predict a frightening thong sunburn in the very near future!)

If you'd like to check where CAP'N has been or is going you can check out his blog at http://nemos-roam.blogspot.com/

Current State of Affairs

Please know I hold all my swaps very high in priority and never "NO SEND" anything. That's just not my way.

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!

About Me

I have been participating in mail art and swapping for over 8 years. I got really into it on Nervousness.org. I've since had to find other avenues to swap since Nervousness went south.

I love atcs,postcards,and all sorts of handmade goodies.

Love swapping stationery,stickers,ephemra,and so much more. I can't wait to dig in and do some swaps through swapbot.

Favorite Crafts

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.

Favorite Music

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 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....

Favorite Television

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,

I'm a discovery channel addcit. I get the addition 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

Favorite Animals and Colors

manta/stingrays, aligators,bats,horses, bears, elephants, mice, rats, dolphins, otters,

umm...LOTS of animals. :)

Greens, Blues, Purples in various combinations. I like most colors really only 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

Response: whoot glad you liked my ghost kitty. She wasn't exactly what I wanted, but turned out pretty good. and thanks for the star :)
