UPDATED PROFILE 12/15/2016

It's been a little over two years since I've swapped on swap-bot! Wow. I miss it!

I ALWAYS send & I always rate, usually on the day I've received. If I have somehow missed rating you, please message me.

I re-use/recycle packaging and I hope you do the same! =D

I had a short lived obsession with the Twilight Saga... I even founded a group called Twihards that was active 2010-2011, until I took a full time position at work, and was unable to dedicate as much time to swapping as I had in the past. The group is still open, but not active.

In the past, I have enjoyed making inchies, twinchies, ATC's, Tiny felt stuffies, Altered Matchboxes, Card Making, Scrapbooking, putting together craft kits or inspirational kits, big boutique style hair bows, post cards, amongst other things, and I hope in the future, or as time allows, I am able to craft more.

As of 1/14: I am participating in journal52.com A 52 week art journal! My 5 year old daughter and I are doing this together. There is also a FB page where you can share your artwork, if you feel comfortable! Go and check it out!

My daughter & I have been painting ceramic pots lately. I have been working on polymer clay crafting, and have been spending my time growing & caring for seedlings to plant this year! I am very excited as this is the first time I have grown anything since I was 12!

I have even inspired my sisters to begin swapping here (they are very crafty and artistically inclined and we all share the same love for creating new things)

• My sister Savvi on Swap-bot

• My sister Stacy on swap-bot

I have a daughter who is 4 months old. She loves cookies, her sniffy blankets, and toys. Mikaylas middle name is partially "Skye" so she has a lot of things with stars. And sky decor.

Update: 2014. My daughter is now 5 YEARS old!

Upsate: 2016. My daughter will be 8 soon and my sson is almost 2!

She really loves Hello Kitty. So any HK stickers, coloring pages, ect will most likely end up in her hands! =D She loves seeing what mommy gets in the mailbox and often asks if she can receive mail too. She has even 'mailed' letters to her grandfather who passed away last year. I would like to do kid friendly swaps for her!

What she would like to receive (for any kids swaps I join for her) would be:

Hello Kitty stickers, memo pads or notepads/notebooks. ect. Adventure Time anything! Super cute plushies Anything sky, cloud, or starry. Especially material large enough to make a toss pillow sized pillow, stickers, crafts, decotape, ect... Stickers (different characters & images) A Sticker Book Colored pictures or crafts created by your little one. Notepads Coloring books Hand crafted jewelry (she is but a princess, of course!) Poppin Kitchen/Happy Kitchen kits Kawaii plushies and squishies Craft Kits

Anything kid friendly & unopened. =D

My Boyfriend: Enjoys baseball, football, the weather, video games & video game accessories, & wrestling. He is a great guy with a big heart, and can always make me laugh. He is sarcastic, goofy & a big nerd & I love the crazy crap out of him. We enjoy watching shows on Netflix together. He is a gamer! I love watching him play! Put the two of us together and you are bound to end up laughing your butt off!!! (Or at least looking at us like we're crazy.. O_o :P )

THINGS I DO NOT WISH TO RECEIVE:

• I truly appreciate swaps & the effort everyone puts into putting them together, but please do not send me items that are unusable. Water logged, ruined, dirty, ect... I do recycle/up-cycle, so as long as it is in good condition, I will be happy with it!

I love tea. I cannot use loose-leaf tea at this time as I do not own a loose leaf tea infuser. So bagged only, please.

I love Sweet Cinnamon Spice Tea, Flavored Green Teas, ect. I Do not like English Breakfast Tea. I do not like Crystal Light singles as the only flavors I can stand are lemonade and raspberry green tea. I do not truly care for things with aspartame or other artificial sweeteners. I prefer to use honey or raw sugar to sweeten things.

I love trying new flavors, and foreign teas.

Candies: we LOVE candies! Especially ones that are new to us! Japanese candies & snacks especially, but we would like to try things from all over the world! I only have access to Hi-Chews, Strawberry, Chocolate, & Vanilla Hello Pandas, Strawberry & Chocolate Pocky and occasionally Chocolate YamYam here.

Oh!!!! We recently started choosing certified organic produce/milk/meats ect for our household. Trying to eat healthier as much as we can, but it is still a transition for us!

I dont watch cable much, but I LOVE my Netflix!
