Hello! My name is Grace, and I have been swapping since March 2009, and am loving it!

My promise ~ for all swaps I participate in, I will rate fairly, I will definitely send out what I have committed to, and I will send something I would like to receive myself... :-).

I DO NOT FLAKE. So... if you haven't receive my parcel within 8 weeks of sent date, please PM be & let me know. It probably is a genuine "lost in mail" and I will resend.

If you are disappointed with what I sent, please let me know before rating. I only sent things that I would love to receive myself... so, in my mind, that was a good swap I sent. But no worries, I'm sure we can work things out. Swapping is about giving and receiving and making friends not enemies.

And, I recycle packaging (envelops, ziplocks, papers...etc.) So,please don't get offended if you receive a package which looks recycled... most important is what's inside, right?~ i don't recycle what's inside unless it's stated in the swap requirements of course :P

I live in Petaling Jaya, which is very close (about 15 minutes drive) to Kuala Lumpur the main city of Malaysia. Read my blog to get snippets of my everyday life.

I LOVE DOGS! In fact I love all furry pet....

At home,we have a 7 years old yellow Lab, and he is the light of my life :))

Since I've been swapping a few times... I realised that it is good to have a wishlist. I find myself cracking my brain on what to give, and my swap-partner's wishlist is something I really appreciate.

My favourite colours - pink, olive/lime green, coffee brown.

I always prefer silver/white jewelries to gold or bronze. I prefer small, light, delicate pattern to large jewelries.

Favourite animal - DOGS... in particular Labrador Retrievers.

My wishlist... what I would like (sit back, get comfy.. it's gonna be a long list... hehehe) :

• FABRIC!!!.. Cotton fabric. I like bright/large prints, retro prints, animal prints, sashiko patterned, forrest themed, anything Amy Butler, Kokka from Japan, Freespirit, Moda (we don't have these designer fabric in Malaysia...).

I love novelty patterned fabric e.g. japanese novelty, english novelty, dutch novelty, russian novelty...

• Buttons (esp. large patterned ones and small ones with patterns & funny shapes)

• Cottan tapes with prints (like those by Kokka Japan)

• I collect fridge magnets. Cute ones are nice... but I like especially those that symbolised a country or a place... I always get one from the place I visit as a keepsake.

• Any items from Starbucks and Hard Rock Cafe. I love love love those that says "Hard Rock Cafe Amsterdam, Bali, etc."

• Handmade stuff especially Handbags, Purses, Totes, needle book.

• I also collect postage stamps (used), so swapping is great because I receive snail mail with stamps on it... (well most of them do.. haha).

I love handycrafts, and enjoy making things with my hands. Mostly, I sew bags, totes, purses, coasters... and occasionally I make jewelries such as earrings, bracelets, pendants.
