What's New in my Zoo

My post office is crummy. Long lines, lost stuff, yatta, yatta, yatta...So, if I don't think you're going to get a swap from me, I won't even sign up. I live in a country that does not exist!


My favorite new crafting quote:

"A handmade object is a thing with a soul." — Kristina Sabaite


For your listening pleasure: Betelnut Radio


We are a U.S. territory, so you can ship things here regular mail, Priority, etc. You just might have to remind them that we are part of the U.S.--like Puerto Rico.

If you are Canadian and trying to ship me something, I think you have to put the coutry in as "Mariana Islands."


A little about me: I'm a Texan who has lived a lot of my life in other places, but I will always call the Lone Star State home. I speak fluent Spanglish. I dabble in crafts, but lately seem to just like to hoard supplies and take them out to play. I do some sewing, but have never gotten into scrapbooking and cannot figure out how to crochet or knit. Pictures of knots in books and how to make them just don't make sense to me.

Not So Much

  • I LOVE chocolate, but please don't send me any since it's consistantly 82-86 degrees here and HUMID!!!!!

If you are a smoker, please air things out a bit before sending.

Comment: Thank you for such a great package, it was so nice to recieve your amazing swap after everything that has been going on here, I love the oven holder... I think Iam going to keep it.
Response: I'm so happy it made it to you. I was imagining it under a pile of ceiling somewhere after the earthquake(s). I wanted to find your son a t-shirt but it was still cold here & they hadn't put that stuff out yet in the stores.

Hi! Away sick and writing, hopefully I can manage a swap now and then. I miss it a lot. Still sick but I realized that I've been waiting to get all pain free to do swaps and it's just not gonna happen, so a penpal suggested I try an easy swap now and then. Yay!

VivaLaDiane on Jan 18, 2012:

Thanks so much. He felt very much like my son because I raised him just like I'd raise a child with so much love and care. Sorry for babbling on, but thanks for thinking of me.

choke on Jan 5, 2012:

Just wanted to stop in and say thanks for all of the smiles you've put on my face :) I hope your New Year is going fabulously! Everytime I see your screename I can't help but say to myself (in my best Count Dracula voice) "Two little monkeys hahahaha".

TC on Jan 4, 2012:

Do you have some?! I look for it every spring when I'm at the beach, and never find any!

zigg13pra on Jan 3, 2012:

That's so sweet of you, but I don't understand why people aren't receiving their items. I'm going to resend them again though. Thanks for making me feel a little better.
