i love good food, unique recipes, cooking and baking. i collect vintage cookie cutters and love most anything vintage.i love dark chocolate especially with chile...a hint of spice.

. i love meeting new people and traveling.

i like all colors..muted browns and greens, but also love vibrant pinks,purple and turquoise

gardening is my latest passion...both flowers and vegetables. i would love to get seeds through swapbot. . i recycle as much as i can and like to use throwaway objects for my projects if possible. i love garage sales and going to thrift stores. i love fountain pens and calligraphy pens.

i have done knitting ,crocheting ,applique, sewing,scrapbooking, and jewelry making... .but i have given all that up for altered art. i love anything to do with paper...making handcrafted paper, atc's , bookmarks, cards, and tags. i belong to several creative groups, and love to go to workshops and classes to learn new techniques. i am currently doing an altered book, an art journal and working on several cookbooks for gifts. i am also making a book of quotes....so if you have a favorite one feel free to send it along.

postcards.....i'm not too picky but i do love art cards and AD cards!!

i love to read, mostly bio's, and non fiction .

i like to think i don't watch a lot of tv...but i do like csi, criminal minds and without a trace. i also like documentaries...and locked up abroad.

i would love to get unique paper and papercrafting items. i love handmade paper. Since i do lots of different kinds of projects. color is not as important as texture. i like interesting magazine pictures and words that i can use for altered art. Buttons and trims are always useful. i would also like to get die cuts.

i love vintage clothing , buttons, scarves,aprons, and hats. would love to get copic markers or water color pens. recycled (or new) copies of any stampington magazines would be great..

i love skin cream and oils with a light fresh scent. i love jewelry, especially earrings and chunky bracelets. postcards.... i'm not picky, but my faves are quotecards, pc's of people, and art cards.

sadly, i've been flaked on. i understand that life sometimes gets in the way of being a good swapper. but...i do not understand how or why someone wouldn't just send you an email to let you know what's going on.

i have recently had a surgery that has really set me back. i am doing as much as i possibly can to maintain my swaps. please be patient with me. if you have not received something please let me know. i am kind of in a brain fog right now (worse than usual) !!
