After a several year hiatus, I am back on swap-bot. I now possess a mostly useless degree in English :)

I'm a comic book lovin' vegan with a love for baking and southern cooking. My crafts vary from knitting, embroidery, light sewing, mixed media art, and more recently, atcs. I also modify outfits for costumes and make pasties for my favorite hobby of burlesque :)

I'm a secular humanist, so please no angels or anything to do with Christianity. Buddhas and hindu gods are fine.

i'm collecting steampunk atcs to frame, so any steampunk stuff will make me happy!

I am a scrapbooking queen. I prefer working with 8x8 albums. My pages tend to be very diverse, from pages about my nephews to drag queen shows. My favorite project is my burlesque scrapbook, so glittery scrap stuff always welcome.

I'm a beginning knitter with a love for the bulky yarns (and any shade of purple). I love embroidery, ACTS, and I'm a recent smash book addict

i adore any of the beatniks, especially diane diprima and allen ginsberg. my favorite poets are anne sexton and e.e. cummings. i own all of kurt vonnegut jr's books and i'm working on miller williams
