About Me
Hello, I'm Jeni. Nice to meet you.
My name is Jeni as stated above. I have been missing from swap-bot for a while due to life, mostly good. My husband and I have a foster son now who we hope to one day be able to adopt.
I am really bad at talking about myself, so please enjoy this list of 10 words and phrases that describe me and know that it took forever for me to compile this:
- Generally happy
- Animal activist
- Feminist
- Crafty
- Avid Reader
- Worry wart
- Compassionate
- Hippie-ish
- Weird
- Considerate
My Family
My family consists of myself, my husband, our wonderful foster son, four cats, and a uromastyx. I love them all very much.
Crafting
I love to craft. I am into all types of crafting.
Needlefelting I love living dangerously and a barbed needle, poked quickly and repeatedly into 'fluff'(wool) is crafting on the edge. Seriously, it is a lot of fun and I love any and all colors of wool roving.
Paper I am a shameless paper addict.
Matchboxes This cute little craft is surprisingly addictive. Plus, it allows me to use stuff from my paper stash little by little.
Altered Art I like to glue stuff to stuff. Then paint it. Then glue some more.
Shiny?
Yes, please. I can't help it if I am a magpie.
Entertainment
Here are some things I find entertaining.
Books
I love poetry books, especially haikus. If you write poetry, feel free to send some my way. I like all styles and subject matter, but I have to say that teenage angst doesn't look good on adults. So, please consider that before sending anything filled with adolescent rage my way.
My husband is into historical fiction, though I am not the biggest fan.
Movies
I love scary movies! The cheesier, the better. I watch SyFy movies quite regularly and am able to enjoy them.
I also enjoy MST3K.
Television
Too much television will rot your mind.
Here's how I rot my mind:
- Futurama
- House
- Absolutely Fabulous
- Invader Zim
- Trailer Park Boys
...things along those lines
Likable Things
- My four cats, Chaucer, Poe, Mini, and Fiona
- My husband, Ben
- My foster son (12)
- My uromastyx, Sir Robin
- Cats
- Scary movies
- Rainbows
- ANYTHING handmade
- Fabric
- Pictures of graves
- Totes
- Wool roving
- Rainy days
- Thunderstorms
- Black
- Gray
- Unicorns
- Nail Polish
- Matchboxes
- Altered Art
- ATCs
- Orange (color + the fruit)
- Teal
- Red
- Silver
- Green
- Recycling
- Arm warmers
- Pin back buttons
- Wrist cuffs
- Tie dye
- Ravens
- Atheism
- Alice in Wonderland
- Books
- Regretsy
- Poetry
- Invader Zim
- Trailer Park Boys
- Bats (the animal)
- Halloween
I like sharing with the people I love, so if you ever want to gear a swap towards their taste instead of mine, by all means, please do.
The Husband
- Dr. Who
- Anything geeky
- Pi (3.14)
- Nerd humor
- Foreign coins
- Red Dwarf
- Science
- Computer related anything
- Invader Zim
The Kiddo (he's 12)
- Soccer
- Football
- Silly fun toys
- Magic the Gathering
- Bacon
- Zaxby's
Things I Dislike
I am not really picky and won't freak out if you send something that does not suit my style.
- Pecans
- Sunburns
- Too much complaining
- Religion (any type)
- People who are mean for no reason
Swapping Style
I love swapping.
Please do not feel obligated to send extras that are random and not related to the swap. If you can't resist, though, I understand and won't hold it against you.
Please communicate with me if you are running late. I am not heartless and am more likely to rate you at least a '5' if you have told me it is going to be late.
Don't send me crap please. I know the difference between slapped together and a valid effort. So don't panic if it is your first try at something, just make sure to actually try.

Jeni, it's been nice seeing you around the 'bot. Glad you're back.
Thank you very much for the cool text pages towards my January Wishlist - can't wait to make something fun with them! :)
Wishlist group - January
Thank you so so much for the xmas package! I love the fabric and the chocolate bar (perfect for this first day back to work after the holidays). It actually went to my neighbor's house.. who opened it and drank the hot chocolate and told me it was tasty - who does that?! Anyway, thanks for thinking of me :)
Thank you for my Christmas package! The Lindt chocolates are already eaten. They lasted all of six hours before I caved. The other chocolate I haven't touched yet. The BBQ spice mix will be well used even though it's winter. The spice mixture is a good one for just about everything. <3 <3
