About Me

Hi~ My name is Kaye

and

I count myself fortunate to live in BEEEUUUTEEEFUL Southern California! Never a dull moment, that's for sure.

I HEART Swapping with like minded souls who are more about putting together a nice swap package for their partners and less about drama and lord of the flies type group fungus. Dig it!!!

For me crafting is like a calgon bath without water and tub * I quilt * sew * embroider

Like little CERAMIC Thimbles. Just starting to collect them. So far I have 10 single ceramic thimble and a loaded thimble showcase given to me by the wonderful JulieF.

Flavored coffees are my favorite. Sending me unflavored unsealed/closed with a twist tie coffee is not a happy face maker for me. Just an FYI. It was done and therefore needs a mention.

Flavored teas. Love em! Packaged loose teas are ok as are individually packaged tea bags. Please Do NOT send me unwrapped teabags. It is unsanitary and I won't use them. I drink a lot of teas.So I have a lot. Don't really care for plain green teas, cinnamon or lemon. My favorite tea of all time in Pomegranate/Blueberry I pretty much drink that at some point each day. I am a purist with my teas. No sugar. Just the tea. Not a latte fan. Just the tea!

I ABHOR BLACK LICORICE and FAKE SUGAR really dislike! Ok? By fake sugar I'm referring to the stuff created in a lab. Any and all sugar/substitute. Pink, Blue, Yellow whatever the color the package it is all Yakitori in my humble opinion.

I HAVE ONE INDOOR ONLY CAT Sir Bingo is his name O

Please note for future swaps. He~Sir Bingo is clean(probably cleaner than me at times) and he lives here No matter how hard I try it seems an errant cat hair will end up in the clear packaging tape as I prepare swap mailings.

Sir Bingo likes: * catnip toys** he has plenty** just fyi

* quiet balls to bat around the house

Sir Bingo has tons of toys. I have to say that because a swapper for some reason thought he was lacking in toys. ha ha! Nope The Bingo Man has every toy imaginable. He looks towards a new toy which he gives a thorough go over before adding to his captives..er I mean collection. So there's the gig on d'man.


Please Do not Send me -ATC's as EXTRAS

If I sign up for a particular ATC swap. That is one thing. I don't know what to do with these and have far too many Swapbot ATC's that have been sent to me as "EXTRAS" by other than the ATC creator.

Favorite Crafts

I am a fabriholic. I have an amazing stash of fabrics yet always on the lookout for that next fun loud strange kooky fat quarter! I like out of the ordinary cotton fat quarter novelty fabric that one might not find at JoAnn's and like stores.

I enjoy the tactile touch of textile crafting. Weird again, I know!

I belong to a quilt guild and one of these days now that I'm done with 4 years of executive board work I may get to that bag of UFO's :-) in my closet.

I make my own soaps and toiletries including deodorant. I enjoy using well made handcrafted soaps & toiletries made by others. I prefer Essential Oil soaps to fragrance soaps. Lavender my all time favorite and I'm super picky on this one.** Lavender 40/42 Essential oil** blend rocks the planet. I like Bulgarian as well. Lavender fragrance oil? Not so fond of. Most I've smelled have a chemical under tone that is not enjoyable on the skin. I also buy handmade handcrafted soap whenever possible. My etsy faves list is full of soaps. I love soap! The better to clean with m'dear!

I enjoy cooking during winter months. I feel I'm doing the two birds with one stone thing utility bill wise. I enjoy reading. I'm a fan of mystery cozies.

I'm a MULTI-TASKER whether I mean to be or not.

I enjoy reading long pen-pal letters. Written or typed. A good pen letter will get you through a long wait on line, anytime.

I enjoy sending out forum RAKs and swaps. I always check profiles to see if I can kick my swaps up a notch. I like to make my partners smile when they open a package from me.

Would possibly be up for private swaps just pm me.

Das All Folks!!!

Comment: thank you so much. I got my letter Friday. All of the goody's you sent me came spiiling out. You read my profile and it was thoughtful to send cosmetics! The bust gel cracks me up. ( I am a 44ddd) I am so jealous of all your travel and time for yourself like the dancing! I have always wanted to go to Africa. Have you read the First Ladies Detective Agency series? takes place in Botswana. My mom in law is a big quilter too in Montana, guilds and shows all the time. I have like 5 gorgeous quilts.

Comment: OH MY!!! What a fabulous and thoughtful package! I love it all. I've been thinking of making a coffee jacket but haven't done it yet! And I love curious George, I call my fiance's son, my monkey! I love the coffee, corks, and everything!! The mascara is FABULOUS! I love the style of the scrapbooking things. There is literally nothing that I don't love!! THANK YOU!
Response: I'm glad you like your package. I studied your profile and as it sank it ideas began to present themselves. Enjoy and Happy Swapping!

Comment: thank you so much for wading through my mile long profile and selecting the perfect items to make my day! i appreciate the brushes a ton and the treats were awesome as i can get NONE of them here. yum! my son was also VERY impressed with his key. he spotted it instantly and was asking, "what's that? is that a key?". when i told him it was for him - he took it and seriously played with it for an hour! thanks so much. you deserved that heart and then some. :)
Response: I'm so happy you like your package and especially happy your son liked the key blank. All you have to do when ready is take it to a key cutter and they will make it a duplicate of your house key. All his:-) it was fun to put your package together and I"m just thrilled it made you and your son smile. Happy Swapping! Kaye~

Comment: Thank you so much for the thoughtful package. I can't wait to make the coffee and the Hello Kitty Pez dispenser is so cool! The hot chocolate you sent is a fave of mine. =)
Response: When I saw that HK dispenser in the store I knew I HAD to get it for you! Also the Albuelita Mexican Hot Chocolate is my favorite and I'm usually not on the sharing end of my sachets:-) Lucky YOU! Enjoy and Happy Swapping!
