Favorite Crafts

Hi. Since discovering Swap-bot I have enjoyed sharing swaps with others internationally and also fellow Australians and Kiwi's. I'm interested in anything 'Arty' and creative, particularly ATC's and Mail-art in the form of envelopes or Postcards. I live in a suburb of Perth in Western Australia and love it ! I've travelled to other parts of Australia, NZ, Europe, UK, USA (NY )Canada & Asia. My favourite part of West Aust is the North West and Central Australia The colours there of the blue sky and red earth I find very inspiring.

Likes and dislikes:

I love colour and like to receive swaps that have been hand made. Everyone has some talent so I'd like to see what you can do .... painting, drawing (I can't), collage, computer...Please "some" effort - abit more than cut out magazine picture stuck on card. I'm an animal lover Pleases do not send me anything resembling porn. Anything else OK .........extra ATC, decorated envelope, It's nice to receive the surprise extras but I don't expect them ( I'm aware of postal costs, especially with International mail ) * extras do not guarantee a heart * .. please NO MORE LITTLE BITS OF PAPER ( eg ATC backgrounds) I love getting something in the mail box so I look forward to receiving my swaps and look for effort in the swap. I like to receive work that reflects the personality of the creator. I send and rate promptly and always contact my partners when I have sent their swap. Please let me know if you don't receive from me in a reasonable time. *I have had swaps go astray * or if you have a problem doing your swap for me by the send by date. I see what alot of members put in their requests - What I'd like most of all if anyone has any to spare is ........time ! (Not enough hrs in my day or days in my week) and a fairy godmother to come and do all the things I don't get done so I can spend more time on 'arty, creative things'......... No ? I didn't think I'd get too many offers on these.

Comment: Your atc turned out beautifully. I could hardly see the specks on mine. Thanks so much for the unique extras. My profile says that i never require extras, and I agree about the lists. I just love seeing what we all make, and I just love swapping! Kathy

Thank you so much for angeling a beautiful and well-thought out ATC about ART. You would get a 5 and a heart. Your atc exhibited varied art forms and reflected the quote well. I hope that we get to swap with one another in the future. Until we meet again, Happy Swapping!!! Barb, sleepingrover2010
