Since I found out about swap-bot, I have really enjoyed making ATC's. I love making them using as much original work as possible, but I always wonder if the are good enough for my partner.

I have a PC collection that keeps growing. I'm addicted.

If you know that you are receiving something HANDMADE by me, please take note that my projects naturally come out with a creepy flair, even if I'm making something cute. I can't help it. But if it is something personalized for for you and you clearly don't like that kind of thing, I will try my hardest to make it more suitable for you.

Favorite Movies

I love movies. My favorite directors are Darren Aronofsky, Wes Anderson and Tim Burton. I really like animated films and independent films. I think Johnny Depp is an amazing actor. I am also in love with Jason Schwartzman and Adrien Brody.

Favorite Television

I mostly just like to watch cartoons like Chowder, Adventure Time, The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, Superjail, Aquateen Hunger Force, Duckman, and of course classics like Rocko's Modern Life, The Angry Beaver, Ahh Real Monsters, Rugrats, Doug, Hey Arnold, Power Puff Girls and anything that is weird and creepy.

About Me

I go to college and help my grandma at home with her craziness. I'm married to the sweetest man alive who sometimes helps me with my arts and crafts and is learning how to crochet as well.

I have an Anthropology major in mind, but I am now considering focusing on art as well. I have always been artistically inclined, but never pursued that inclination until now.

I would say that my taste is cute and creepy at the same time. I am very attracted to things that I've never seen before.

Likes

Postcards--naked and written on, vintage, strange, black and white (I just like PCs in general)

Tea--spicy, relaxing, earl grey

Handwritten letters

Letters on cute stationery

Handmade cards, crafts, envelopes, etc

Animals, especially: owls, cats, turtles, penquins, ducks, chicks, bats, puppies (no scary dogs, rats, or anteaters)

Rainbows

Insects and bugs, especially: bees, ladybugs, butterflies, dragonflies, caterpillars, snails, spiders

Kawaii

Miniatures

Skulls

Edward Gorey

Monsters (cute and/or creepy)

I am collecting...

  • Bumble bee stickers
  • Postcards (naked and written on)
  • ATCs
  • Hello Kitty (prefferably cross promotional stuff)
  • Mushroom anything and everything

Anti-Dislikes

Though I do appreciate how helpful a dislikes section is, I don't want to have a dislikes section on my profile because as a Leo, I will appreciate anything that comes from the heart. As long as I can see that you put some effort into it, I'm sure I will like it, if not love it.

I love experiencing new things, and anything that comes from another person's side of life will be happily received on this end.

I am allergic to a lot of things, but, none of my allergies are deadly so I just ignore them and eat whatever I want, and pet kittens anyway.

Comment: LOL, now that is weird. Are those what I think they are dangling over the angels?? I'm not offended but I wonder if the mailman was!! :) I love it, thank you! We have no postcards at all like this around here. I'd have to go an hour north or west to find quirky stuff. And so cool about your love for Sally D. *wink* Do you work in your academic field on Anthropology??

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful card. I understand that not everyone surfs in California. We do not all grow corn or play basketball in Indiana, although that is what people tend to believe. I had one postcrosser ask if we drove cars here!!!! Take care Vicky

Comment: Great weather report! Probably similar to our days here in Moorpark, but we get a marine influence so it stays slightly cooler. Palm trees and highrises-I love L.A.!

Comment: I think the baby and baby dolls are cute. There's an Art Deco museum in Salamanca, Spain, with a collection of historic Kewpie dolls; I think this photo is of the same vintage. BTW, our husbands agree. Thank you for the great card.

I now see that the rating for me was a revenge thing. Why ? I have no idea.

No worries! Thank you for doublechecking for it, and for contacting me before rating :) I really appreciate it! So glad it got to you safely... I know mail gets wonky at points and things can get waylaid. Thanks again! Glad we got this sorted out :)

namelessgirl on Jun 18, 2011:

Hi, I sent letters to you as well as my other partner on May 30th. Not sure why it would not have gotten to you. I specifically remember writing both of these... Guess I will resend. I will have a second letter in the mail to you by Monday.

I am hosting a handmade bracelet swap I think you may be interested in!

Hey. I looked up scarling and I am guessing they are a band. I see how they used one of Ryden's paintings for their album cover. Cool. I am not familiar with their music but I will listen to them to see if I like them. I am looking forward to the swap. This will be my first. Nice to hear from you. :) Mandy

Hi!!! We DO have a lot in common. HIGH FIVE for being a lover of spoOkiness! Perhaps we could do a trade together!! I can't wait to get my post card from you :D And you are awesome not only for being a spooky lady, but also for loving Edward Gorey, he's a huge inspiration of mine, and I like to think that he's helped me in a lot of my illustration (although I use a tragic amount of color, can't lie, I LOVE THE STUFF, haha) work, and I hope that someday I can write a spookyyyy childrens book andddd, yes! Lets be friends :D Also, one question for you concerning your animals comment "no scary dogs, rats, or anteaters" Scary dogs? INTENSE. I'm more of a cat person myself! Also, rats??? >> I will not lie... I think... they're... rather cute... :( But I hope that doesn't prevent us from becoming friendlies! And... anteaters? I'm just drawing a blank on that one, I haven't seen any anteaters before lol. I hope you've had a fabulous day, and I look forward to hearing back from you! Message me any time ^^ OOOOH, and no, I've only read James St. James' Disco Bloodbath - have you read that? And I indeed, agree whole heartedly, I love his writing style. It's very... embracing, keeping you wanting more More MORE! <3
