About Me

Hi! My name is Catherine. I'm 23, I'm a teacher for elementary school. alt text 8/28: I have just gotten engaged to the love of my life, Alex. I am so excited! I'm an optimistic, happy person and I love...

  • Traveling
  • Chocolate (Unless asked for, I wouldn't like to receive food by mail).
  • bubble baths (I LOVE philosophy 3-in-1 bubble bath). My favorite Philsophy is waffle cone or belgian waffles. I'd also love to receive red velvet cake scent or candy apple (or any surprise!).

In other bubble bath/scrub scents, I love lavender, chocolate, and peppermint.

alt text

  • scrapbooking (see below for more likes & dislikes)
  • sunshine & summer!
  • baking
  • sweets
  • theatre (broadway)
  • jewelry (hypoallergenic only, I am allergic to nickel)
  • mangos
  • time well spent
  • high heels (especially sandals. I think I'm the only person on earth who doesn't wear flip flops)
  • sundresses
  • getting lost in a good story (I love chick lit/ women's romantic comedy books)
  • art (especially new artists found on Etsy, for example)
  • cherry ice cream
  • laughter... **

I'm an honest person and I send out ALL my swaps on time, usually early and within the first few days. If I'm your partner, my package to you is arriving from Canada and although I choose airmail, it can take a few days so please be patient! Also, PLEASE contact me if you don't receive something on time before rating and I'll be happy to talk to you about it!

Scrapbooking Likes/Dislikes

I love scrapbooking. I'm a big fan of handmade embellishments, bling (adhesive rhinestones!) and stamps in general (especially swirls). I love patterned paper, my favorite is Basic Grey. I believe a girl can never have too much 12x12 Bazzil Bling Cardstock :)

I never use eyelets, brads, and anything goth-like or angry in my pages. I'm much more of a feminine, happy-pages type of scrapper. I have no children and so please don't send me anything baby-related. I also can't seem to ever use paper scraps.

Wishlist

  • I'm collecting small, vintage/victorian tea cups for my wedding, preferably with saucers and in the yellow, pink or orange coloring with a gold trim, saucers not necessary! I'm looking at garage sales, thrift shops, etc. Send me one (and help me with my wedding planning) and you'll get a heart for sure!

alt text

  • Anything from my Etsy Wishlist!
  • Anything (seriously) from Stampingbella.com or http://www.magnoliastamps.us instant heart!

alt text
- Land O Lakes Raspberry flavored hot chocolate - Clear or rubber stamps, swirls are my favorite - Adhesive rhinestone embellishments - Black eyeliner - Bonnebell eyeshadow box in cafe classics (I'm running out, lol) - Gray eyeshadow (would like to try it) - Black pencil eyeliner

alt text

  • Anything to do with weddings esp. magazines! I have the subscription to Martha Stewart Weddings so any except that one!
  • Philosophy bubble bath
  • Books (Fiction), preloved welcome!
  • Children's books, preloved welcome
  • Canadian postage stamps, unused
  • Bright colored, shaped Post-Its
  • Good quality pink cooking utensils or bowls like the kitchen aid ones for example
  • Movie wishlist... burned to work on a DVD player (US/Canada) is fine!

alt text

  • Bride Wars While You Were Sleeping - Sleepless in Seattle -Jerry Mcguire
    • Also, G or PG rated children's adventure or comedy movies, appropriate for a classroom reward afternoon, would be wonderful!
    • I love suprises too!

I don't expect anyone to send me anything from this wishlist, so I just want to say that I truly appreciate it if you choose to send something and I am sure I will love it :)

Please Don't Send

  • Food (flavored hot chocolate is great, but I don't drink tea or coffee)
  • ATCs
  • Religious or advertisement anything
  • Anything celebrity-related
  • Dotee or any other type of doll /stuffed animal
  • No Paper Scraps (Please)
  • Body spray or perfume, I have very sensitive skin and I get rashes because of perfumes.
  • Underwear (seems silly to write, but there are hipster swaps! Just not for me...)

Thank you! Happy Swapping!

Thank you so much for the stickers for my daughter. Sorry the thanks is so late but I wanted her to wait until her birthday to open it.
motes on Nov 5, 2009:

I'm so glad the teacup reached you safe & sounds--I didn't want to chance it getting broken or banged up in a larger parcel! The other package should reach you shortly; hope it comes through Customs OK!

Hi, This is a personal message to you from me. I read over your profile. And we have a lot of things in common.I love summer and sunshine. It just makes days brighter :) I love broadway. I just recently took my niece (her bday gift from me) to see Marry Poppins. I just loved it. So Amazing!!! :) I don't wear flip-fops either. Haha!!

Congrats to you and Alex. Wishing you the best in life.

Here's to you

My Swap Bot Profile is a little lonely... your partner :)

Posting a quick hello for the 'My Swap Bot Profile is a little lonely...' swap.

CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement! I think it's wonderful that you're collecting tea cups for the wedding! What a wonderful idea! And each one of them will have some sort of story to go with it. Depending on the size of your wedding, that could be a lot of tea cups O.O, but I think it such a darling idea.

Would it be okay if I sent you one too? I know it's not that kind of swap but I'm really in love with the idea. I hope I'm not overstepping a line by asking.

Good luck with your wedding and HAPPY SWAPPING! ~Sarah
