Please NOTE

I am not new to swapping. I read every swap carefully BEFORE I sign up. If I have questions, I ask them. I do not send items that do not meet swap requirements, and even go out of my way to be sure that does not happen. Not everyone interprets even the most clearly stated directions in the same way. I do not expect my partners to wow me with every swap, and I know that no matter how I try, I may not wow my partners. HOWEVER. Please know that I will read your profile, and do my best to send something that you will like. I will also give ratings upon receiving my items. I will give you a 5 whether I love what you did or not, as long as it follows the requirements. I expect the same courtesy from partners I send to. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me, and what I will be like as a partner!!

Swap Info

My favorite color is Orange.There isn't really a color I HATE, but I'm not drawn to neons. I like vintage and grunged up goodies. I LOVE thrifting, and I don't care if my scrapbook goodies are acid free. I collect Little Golden Books. Not the new ones, the old ones. I collect old clear salt and pepper shakers. I collect vintage buttons. I collect scrabble letters. I collect JOKER playing cards. I collect vintage children's playing cards like animal rummy, old maid, etc. I like anything rusty and crusty, and with a story. I collect ephemera. I collect Pirate schtuff.

A few things I love... Old tins, like the kind that were used to hold medicines, band aides, tabaco and all that. My Name on the Web site I work on is TallyHO, and I love anything with HO or HO HO HO on it. I collect vintage light up Santas. I love Dragonflies, and realistic Butterfly images. I LOVE Vintage/Goth Halloween. I'm pretty funky in my own way. I like things that are a little out of the ordinary. I collect Dirt from other states and countries. I am always looking for things with neat texture or shape that I could use with paints for stamping and image transfer.

A few things I would rather not get... I'm not much into Hello Kitty and "modern" things. Not so hot on things that smell like smoke. I'm not interested in "new" halloween Think more along the lines of The Nightmare Before Christmas... I don't mind pets, but I'd rather my items don't look like they were stored in your pet's bed... New Christmas isn't really my thing... again, it's all about the vintage. I have enough primas and flowers to last me forever. Unless I'm specifically signed up for a swap including those, you can pass on sending that!! :) Not interested in Fibers much either. That's kind of a thing I like to pick out personally.

Favorite Crafts

I am the Creative Director and Site Manager for an on line scrapbooking web site, TallyScrapper.com, so scrapbooking is near the top of my list. I love mixed media art, and have the need to learn sewing. Even bought myself a fancy machine, but have yet to learn it's ins and outs. I'm more of a sew by the seat of my pants kinda girl. I make ATC's, and alter items from my thrifting. LOVE ephemra...LOVE photography, although I'm not sure that's a CRAFT.

If I like it, I listen to it!

Favorite Television

Hi, here I am! :)

certifiedscrapaholic on Aug 18, 2008:

Hey There! It is so nice to see you on Swap Bot, this community will be much richer having you on board!

Cant wait to swap with ya.

Oh, cool! Uhm, I don't really have anything in particular in mind, but I really like vibrant and funky books that are atomic (1950s) or from the 60s. I especially love books that have unconventional little girl protagonists (girls who dress up and shake up the world) but really whatever you can find is totally cool!

belle on Jul 22, 2008:

haha and boy do I have some fun things to send you, I collect scrabble letters too! I saw you etsy shop as well and seeing those bingo letters took me back years. I want to find some of those out here!

belle on Jul 22, 2008:

I'm updating my profile right now, saw you commented and had to come see our similarities. So I did and I found something on yours that I totally have to put in mine - I love old containers too! Although I'm a sucker for the wooden ones.

We ARE very similar, I'm glad we've become swappin' buddies. :)

Straylight on Jul 18, 2008:

Wow! You're really on top of things. I'll keep an eye out for the package. Thanks!
