About Me

I'm a lifelong crafter who enjoys getting things in my mailbox other than bills and junk. I get excited when the US Post Office issues interesting stamp collections. I prefer reading a letter to reading an email message. I try to reuse items to make sending and receiving mail more interesting. I wish more people sent "just because" cards and notes.

Favorite Crafts

I enjoy all crafts, but tend to do more sewing and knitting. I can't read patterns to save my life, so I usually develop and design my own. But I think that makes crafting more of an adventure!

Favorite Television

The Simpsons | Reaper | Family Guy | Lost | The Office | How Clean is Your House? | Little Mosque on the Prairie | Creature Comforts | South Park | Muppet Show | Fraggle Rock | Sesame Street | Arthur | Nanalan' |

Other Favorite Things

FAV COLORS - sky blue, grass green, and orange.

FAV BEVERAGE - shirley temple or cherry coke

FAV FRUITS - cherries and bananas

FAV ICE CREAM - coffee and anything with swirls of caramel

FAV THING TO WEAR - tshirts and comfy pants

OTHER FAV THINGS - interesting fabric prints, glitter & things that sparkle, cartoons, PBS, NPR, orchids, monsters, robots, kawaii, amigurumi, insects, sweets/desserts, short stories, old Stephen King, molas, children's books, CRAFT: magazine, good craft books, and friendly people.

Items I Would Love to Receive

-- amigurumi (animals, food, monsters, robots) -- handmade baby items (for my BFF) -- kawaii stationary/stickers -- japanese cotton fabrics (animals, buildings, vehicles, fairytale prints) -- handmade items inspired by arcade/video games -- zippers (any size or color) -- children's literature, poetry, or writing

Please Do Not Send

-- perfume or heavily scented items (natural smells like fruits and herbs ok) -- anything Disney -- scrapbooking supplies --

Comment: Woohoo!! You are my very first swap to receive! I am no longer a Swapbot virgin. :o) Thank you so much for the beautiful postcard! I have actually been to that very spot in Yosemite!! Also, I don't think your idea about your quote was cheesy at all. I wish more people would consider things like that...

Comment: I received your package yesterday. I was so happy. My bookmarks are beautiful. I love them very much. Also I was so glad to find a wallace and grommit fan. :) I love the stationary. I kinda don't want to write on it. I want to horde it, for my collection. Thank you so much Alecia

Comment: I just love the paper you used. I guess I'll just have to come to your shop and get some for myself. I write lots of letters and its really hard to find good writing paper that works well with my fountain pen. Thank you for being interested in my comic book... I will be glad to send you one. Remember though... It's art. Thank you for the great letter. The Old Guy Robert Joy
