About Me

Profile updated 27th March, 2009

I am a psychology student living in the heart of Sydney. If i could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be pavlova ^_^

Koala & Sheep

PLEASE - Always include the swap name, your username or group wishlist/tag name in your package! It's so hard to rate/thank you on time otherwise!

I do re-gift or re-send things I've been given in swaps. This is particularly the case if I know someone will love love love something you've sent me, or I have it already :) Please do not be offended!

I am Christian and very happily a daughter of a loving God ^_^ This does not mean I will shove it down your throat - but please respect that I have a right to my own beliefs!

Favorite Music

Kate Miller-Heidke, Playjerise, The Postal Service, Death Cab For Cutie, The Beatles, Sufjan Stevens, Sia...and the likes :)

♥ Loooves ♥

Craftwise, I love to make jewelry. I have lots of fun creating things for my etsy store! I would love to try my hand at epoxy resin stuff, and would love some tips or starter kits. I'm also addicted to kawaii!

Here are a few things on my wishlist:

♥ Anything from my Etsy Favourites - see above for link!

♥ Food miniatures for dolls - I create jewelry out of these. I especially like dessert miniatures or tea sets! In desperate need of these at the moment!

♥ Baby-Sitters Club books in good condition - I'm a collector so no names or creases please. Pm me to check what I'm in need of :D

♥ Items from the World Vision Smiles Catalogue!

♥ KAWAII items - see below for more info..

♥ Things to eat: I love chocolate (like most girls!), especially fair trade - I prefer milk and white chocolate to dark, especially if it's white with cookies! I am a big fan of Pocky too (favourite flavour is Brazilian Pudding)!

♥ Buttons (especially bright colours or vintage ones)! I have no real use for buttons with metal shanks, but plastic shanks are fine. PLEASE: do not use sticky tape to secure buttons! It leaves a layer of sticky film on the buttons :(

♥ If you live in NSW, Australia - instant scratchies of any denomination.

♥ That's Life! or Take 5! magazines - I feel I am aging early when I start doing the puzzles, but I enjoy them so what the hell :P

♥ Gift vouchers to Coles Myer stores (eg. Coles, Target, K-Mart) or Janetstore. The Janetstore ones can be bought online :)

♥ Fairtrade items

♥ Handmade cute stuffies! I also love felt food.

♥ Giraffes and rabbits. ^_^

♥ Good mellow, indie music. I love mixed CDs!

♥ Anything cupcake related! Cupcake decorated or actually for baking/decorating cupcakes, I'll love it all.

♥ Magazines - I love frankie, but already have issues from Nov/Dec 2007 - back issues would be appreciated! also donna hay from before June 2008, and any Martha Stewart Livings or real simple magazines. I love Christmas issues of home, food or craft magazines (back copies are great)!

♥ Ribbons - especially love thin ones, as I have more use for them.

♥ Japanese paper - I make my own cards and these are great for presenting jewelry as well.

♥ ATC blanks - in desperate need!

♥ Glitter glue - I love it!!

♥ Jewellery supplies - particularly split rings (6mm, 8mm needed atm), ring bases with glue pads, hair pins with glue pads and earring stud posts.

♥ Craft supplies - small, strong magnets; adhesive foam 3D mounting dots; 26guage wire in silver; pretty papers.

Dislikes

  • Onions, spring onions, leeks..
  • Cigarette smoke, tobacco..
  • Country style items, especially stationary -- unless it has a vintage charm to it!
  • Chewing gum
  • Religious idols - I am a Protestant Christian, so prefer not to receive any religious figures etc.
  • Dollar shop ribbons - I definitely prefer the stuff you buy per metre in stationary stores!
  • Birds - i'm generally not a fan unless they're kawaii, or ducks!!
  • Licorice
  • Small dotee dolls - I love the bigger ones!
  • Diddl and Disney merchandise - I love Disney movies but not a big fan of the stuff. I don't like Diddl at all - sorry to the fans out there!
  • Dotee dolls with hair, or no smile - they freak me out a little. Sometimes I'll forget there's a dotee there and think someone's put voodoo in my room, hahaha! But I do love smiling, hairless dotees :-)
  • Dark chocolate - I prefer milk or white.

More kawaii-related dislikes below..

Kawaii Likes/Dislikes

PLEASE NOTE: when sending me lettersets, please do not put paperclips to keep the sheets together as this dents them :(

Some of my favourite characters -- extra loves in bold:

♥ Palette Sweet Street ♥ Rilakkuma ♥ Totoro ♥ Happy Memorial Sky ♥ Sugarbunnies ♥ Mamegoma ♥ Smile Pocket ♥ Bonjour Bear ♥ Hannari Tofu ♥ Q-Lia Unko-kun ♥ Ponet Room ♥ Awa Awa Chan ♥ Crux Cream Baby ♥ Kamio Unko Chan ♥ Puni Puni Animals ♥ Sweet Paradise ♥ Bear Bear Life ♥ Kamio Dreamy Friends ♥ Elephant & Favorite ♥ San-X Sweet Harmony ♥ Hello! Bear ♥ Q-Lia Panda Bakery ♥ Q-Lia Pretty Ice ♥ San-X Sabo Kappa ♥ Kamio Pudding Friends ♥ Q-Lia Yum Mochi ♥ Crux Saimin ♥ San-X Omusubiya-san ♥

I love anything with food with little kawaii smiles/facial expressions! I also love all the cute, puffy characters that crux, q-lia and kamio bring out. And zoo animals, and Decole!

There's definitely nothing wrong with sending me generic kawaii either (as long as it's not fake or rip-offs of other characters)!

::::::::::::::::::

Dislikes: FAKE kawaii! Skulls or gothic themed kawaii, Pankunchi, anything with girls or boys, in general, unless it's a fairystory figure, real animal photos incorporated into kawaii stationary, Lovely Bonbon, Cocoakuma, Sanrio Cinnamoroll, Badtz-Maru, San-x Monokuru Boo, Sanrio's Pochacco, Spottie Dottie, Jewel Cat, Mashimaro, Pucca, medication/pill-themed kawaii, like Okusuri-Chan from kamio, Pool Cool Fast Foods, Baby Infinite, Pool Cool Peanut Cereb, Sanrio Pekkle, San-X Tomorrow Frog/Kerori, San-X Soda Water, Goringo World, Pool Cool Peach Face

Thank you so much Renee for the super adorable and thoughtful Kawaii food package you sent me for my March wishes! I didn't have much of this stuff at all (well, NOW I do!) and I am totally in love with these happy little foods! What a great package to find in my mailbox, you brightened my day. Thanks again and hugs - Sue

for the lovely digital collage sheets you sent for the Etsy Addicts WTA. I have already a few nice ideas to use them on ! Thanks again !
lovelygangster on Apr 3, 2009:

hi renee! just letting you know i haven't forgotten about my suggestion for the kawaii round robin, and a mini box of kawaii will be on its way to you shortly. the last few weeks have been really yucky for me, so i will be off to the sanrio store during easter break. anna xo
Mello on Apr 2, 2009:

Yeah, the day you posted that the first package arrived, the seller contacted me to tell me she just send out the resend the day before. Unless americen postal service invented beaming, it was obvious that you received the missing package.....I sorted that out with the seller and thought to just let it be delivered as a new wishlist-surprise..... One can never have enough cheerful buttons, right?
