About Me

I love Origami and any type of paper folding art. Kusudamas Forever!

I also enjoy creating keepsake boxes out of stained glass and weaving (but I must confess my loom as of lately is being neglected)

Pisces is my astrological sign

I am coulrophobic= I have a fear of clowns (I find them to be extremely creepy and at the same time very annoying. Whenever I see a clown, I feel the conflicting impulses of needing to run from them and wanting to slap the crap out of them.)

I will never send/swap anything in a quality I, myself, wouldn't want to recieve

I never flake If you do not receive from me please PM me first before jumping to any low rating conclusions.

I only mark my swaps sent until after I have physically taken my swap items to the USPS, plus I always send a PM to my recipients to notify them I have sent out my swaps.

I also rate as soon as I receive. I feel that if someone has taken the time and trouble to make and send me something the courteous and considerate thing to do in return is to let the sender know as soon as possible their swap arrived safely.

Favorite Television

Pushing Daisies was a great show and I will remain forever ticked off with ABC for cancelling it.

Firefly was another awesome show that needlessly ended too soon. Boo! Fox! Boo!.

Favorite Books

Stiff by Mary Roach- Funny and informative

Stieg Larrson's Salander/Blomkvist trilogy- Wish I had Lisbeth's mad computer skillzZz

Animals in Translation by Temple Grandin and Catherine Johnson

Unsaid by Neil Abramson

The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

The Bird Artist by Howard Norman

Charlotte's Web by E.B. White

To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee

A Ring of Endless Light by Madeleine L'Engle

Watership Down by Richard Adams

Favorite Music

Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beatles, Weezer, Phish, Billie Holiday, Fiona Apple, Bob Marley, Mishka, Nina Simone, Sean Hayes, James Taylor, Joe Cocker, Iron & Wine, Hank Williams, Edith Piaf

Favorite Chocolate

l like all chocolate but I love dark chocolate-The darker the better!

I HATE white chocolate and I'm slightly suspicious of anyone who does like it - If it doesn't have cocoa powder in it it's not real chocolate.

Comment: Kristen, I cannot put fully into words how much you have awed, inspired and simply AMAZED me with your zentangle artwork! Not only did you make a gorgeous card but the envelope was breathtaking! I cannot imagine the amount of time, effort and talent you put into it! I stood there with my husband, not wanting to open it for fear I'd damage the envelope! I took pictures and will be bragging about you from now on.....I told my husband if I could even get HALF as good as you in my lifetime, I'll be happy. I can't say how thankful I am that you shared this piece of art with me! What a beautiful piece that I will treasure forever! You make being at Swap-bot a really beautiful experience. Thank you!! <3

Comment: Wow - what a beautiful card (and my first Christmas card of the season). I love how you did the woven patterns for the background and the envie. Beautiful work! I think the "crackled glass" pattern is my favorite. The hidden surprise was fun too! <3<3<3

Comment: Kris, you deserve 2 hearts for being so generous, and creative. The envies are just beautiful. Unfortunately, something was spilt on the package in transit, and some of the envies were damaged. Some of them I can disguise the damage, but some ot the teenies are watermarked. :0(
