MY THEME SONG: My Soul Has Been Anchored

UPDATE ao APRIL 2031

2010 - MAR 2013

A special note : In light of all that is happening to me at this moment, I will continue to press on with my swaps. I have found Swap-Bot.com to be a community of true friends here from all over - unseen and unheard, and yet close enough to be classified as Family . I love you guys and want to thank you for being in my life.

I'M STILL HERE Just kinda lost my creative spirit at the moment. I shall be back to normal (I hope) shortly.

I'm an Angel'r of my group swaps

A B O U T ME:

My fairy is called Feather Snowfrost.

• She is a cleansing force and a peace-bringer.

• She lives in high places where the clouds meet the earth.

• She is only seen during the first snow of winter.

• She wears pale blue like the sky.

• She has delicate pale blue wings like a cicada.

Get your free fairy name here!

I live to bead. I'm starting to do Altered Art. I'm really into the rolled paper beads. Here's a set I made, I call these along with the matchbox carrier - "Sunflower Bee-d"

"Art is what's in the Heart-sch122708"

I have NO ALLERGIES

NOT FOND OF

• I HATE black licorice,

• drama;

• sloppy swaps or swaps obviously thrown together using little or no effort.

• I'm not fond of the "anima?/anime, kawaii'" stuff,

• also have very strong dislikes for unreasonable people, people that can't take constructive criticism (esp when they ask for it), people that don't appreciate you contacting them to correct a swap,

• HATE Plastic beads unless a swap I'm in specifically calls for it.

• Anything that has been glazed with varnish or a glaze that has an odor. Please send unglazed, or it'll be trashed. I immediately get a migraine at the first whiff.

PROFILE BASED SWAPS

• If sending EXTRAS to me and you still can't figure out to send me in a profile base swap, Please ask or CHECK OUT MY Top 100 X List - at the link above. (ex. In a B & W Profile based swap, I received something totally NOT in my profile. I was DEEPLY disappointed and had to rate the swapper a "3"; the swapper had enough notice to resend and I offered to send the item back, still no resend, so the "3" will stand). SO PLEASE ASK.

EXTRAS

I WILL GO GA-GA over anything from my WISHPOT LIST BELOW OR PLEASE USE THIS LIST

 COLORS

My favorite colors are Reds, Greens, Blacks, Browns, Yellows, Peridot, Lime, Black, Forest Green, Mustard, Orange, and earthy tones.

I NEVER FLAKE and am NEVER LATE on a Swap. My imagination is so wild - I warn you, if I'm your partner - "Be Prepared".

 NOTE about Tardiness

Don't expect me to hunt you down for a swap. If you're going to be late, communication is KEY. I will not be "checking up on you" except to PM regarding a problem with a swap. So don't expect that I'll be looking for clues at your profile.

I send all of my swaps before the mail by date. Please at least acknowledge you've received my package by rating. My swaps always meet minimum requirements, so even if you do not like it, you must rate at least a 5. The following list is a list of the NONE RATERS. If it's been over 30 days since the date I've sent to my partner and they still haven't rated me, they will be listed here:

NONE YET

MAILING

I have decided that from this day (10-3-09) I will be mailing packages out twice a week following the swaps sign up deadline. It seems I'm going to the post office daily. So that is the reason for this. I am off work usually every other Friday and it would be easier for me to cut down on my post office trips.

Since I now have a PO BOX for swaps, I will check my box once or twice a week. So I will make considerations on that if I haven't received in average amount of time.

Thanks. B

Love the Tampa Bay Bucs (I grew up in Florida - so that comes naturally).

I'm married (for now my husband and I each live in our own separate house 3 miles apart - until one gets sold), no children and two dogs Defiance and Joey.. I work full time in my spare time and when not waiting on my husband hand and foot, I bead & and now mostly craft for swaps, the other time.

I love shopping at Michaels, Joanns, Walmart, CreateForLess.com, and Crafty Secrets.com.
