About Me

My name is Jeni. J-E-N-I.

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. 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

Things I Like

  • My three cats, Chaucer, Poe and Mini
  • My husband, Ben
  • My uromastyx, Sir Robin
  • Cats
  • Scary movies
  • Rainbows
  • ANYTHING handmade
  • Fabric
  • Totes
  • Wool roving
  • Rainy days
  • Handmade envelopes
  • Thunderstorms
  • Black
  • Gray
  • Unicorns
  • 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

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 send extras that are random and not related to the swap. Trust me when I tell you I have more than enough random stuff. If you can't resist sending extras, I understand.

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.

Comment: Ok, I cheated and opened everything today. And it was FUN!!! Such great Halloween loot! I liked everything but especially the t-shirt bag - how cute! The candle smells wonderful and so does the "witches brew" soap. It smells like licorice and chocolate...mmmmm! Jeni, you're the best swap partner ever!! Thank you for a really fun swap.
Response: I am so glad you like everything! I hope you have a very Happy Halloween! Thanks for swapping with me!

Comment: Such a pretty little mini collage - thank you, Jeni! And I really like those bracelet parts you included. I'm going to restring them and add some other beads to make myself a new bracelet. Thanks!
Response: I am so glad you like your puzzle piece. I had a lot of fun putting it together and crafting outside my comfort themes. Thanks for taking part in the swap, Robin!

Comment: Oh my gosh! I was expecting one of those cardboard flat rate envelopes or a little VHS sized flat rate box. I didn't even know flat rate envelopes came in stuffed-completely-to-the-max bubble size! I have no idea what I'm gonna do with all these goodies, but I **love** them and have had a blast going through them. Thanks so much!
Response: Yay! I am so happy that they arrived and you love them. I had a fun time stuffing the envelope full. (And truthfully, it didn't make much of a dent in my collection). Thank you so much for swapping with me! {{{hugs}}}

Comment: What a lovely assortment of buttons! The gold one with the brilliant jewel-colored cabons (?) is fascinating and begs for *something* to be done with it. Now I have to figure out what. Thanks!
Response: I am super happy you like all your buttons! The one you described is one of my favorites. I would love to see what you create with it. Thanks so much for swapping with me!

Comment: Thanks so much for the well-made envies! i love them! We had the same train of thought - i also used book pages from a children's book, as well as some map pages. Thanks for hosting! Hope you have a lovely day!
Response: Thank you for the great rating and joining the swap! Maps are great to use, but thanks to GPS units, they are soon going to be a thing of the past...so make all the envies you can while there is still time! ;-)
