About Me

Jan 5th 09: I'm back, somewhat... cause I miss sending/recieving mail! I think that I'm all caught up on the my swaps, but if you haven't recieved from me, let me know. :-)

If you have to send to me, please contact me before you do. To those I owe swaps to, I am committed to to sending them out and will definitely send to you.. I just might be slow putting it together.

Hi everyone! I'm new here and am hoping to become active. I love sending out packages and recieving mail (so much fun!). I've participated in swaps in various communities through LiveJournal, bookmooch.com, and bookcrossing.com.

I'm Pat, from Canada, a 22-year-old student.

I love crafting and art. I knit, make beaded/metal jewelry, sketch, and am learning to sew. I dabble in pretty much anything. I'd like to make my own journals and work on my drawing skills. I love reading as well as writing and journalling. I'm a bit of a shopaholic (love clothes!). and, I take dance classes which I love.

I also have a kitten, a gray tabby named Eternity, and he loves toys (but hates catnip).

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. :)

If anyone would like to swap one-on-one, just send a PM and I'll be happy to swap with you. :)

I send out all my swaps. If I'm sending late, I will definitly contact you. Please contact me if you don't recieve a package from me and I'll do what I can to rectify it. :)

things I like:

~beads: glass, semi-precious stones, metal charms, silver, cutesy charms, supplies (dislike plastic beads)

~ gemstones I like: bloodstone, moonstone, rose quartz, and citrine

~hearts, butterflies, stars, plaid, cute/fun patterns (dislike: polkadots, skulls, animal prints)

~buttons, ribbon

~cute socks

~kitties, monkeys, white tigers

~creatures! (as long as they're cute and not too scary :P)

~ yarn (cotton, wool blends, bamboo, some rayon) as long as it's not itchy (I don't really use acrylic, not because I'm a yarn snob, but because most synthetic fibres make me itchy/stuffy and I can't work with it..blends with cotton are sometimes ok though)

~ healthy low-fat/low-cal vegetarian/vegan recipes (however, I'm on a very restricted diet, so food-related/edible things are lost on me)

~ knitting/crocheting/sewing/beading patterns

~ original art/crafts

~ handmade anything

~ bellydance, movement therapy, NIA, dance, exercising

~ post its (but not memo pads unless kawaii)

~ charm bracelets and necklaces

~ headbands, clips, bows, cute hair stuff

~ foreign films (fav director is Igmar Bergman and love Asian cinema and French films)

~ body mists (scents I like are citrus, vanilla, white tea, green tea, refreshing scents)

~ paper craft supplies and embellishments (I"m accumulating a lot of paper scraps though)

~ stickers (any and all are welcome)

~ homemade paper, evelopes, cards, etc

~ journals (medium to thick, lined or blank)

~ hand sanitizer :P

~ sharpies, pens, office supplies (no thin notebooks though, don't use them)

~ cupcake theme (non-edible)

~ totes/messenger bags

~ goddesses, the divine feminine, paganism

~ Ancient Egypt, Asian culture, India

~ TOFU!!! I love tofu themed anything!

I like neutral, earthy colours, grey, black, white, pink, light yellow, browns, blends, grey and pink, prown and light brown, grey and white (ok, I love grey) (dislike: very bright/neon colours, orange, olive green)

I listen to:

60's music, indie rock, world music, elliot smith, margo guryan, rainer maria, ani difranco, the weepies, azure ray, etc. etc.

Bellydance and workout music is very welcome!

I read (A LOT!)...

I love fiction, magical realism, historical fiction, satire, poetry, and women's lit. I'm trying to read more fantasy and non-fiction, but I'll read almost anything.

Right now, I'm really looking for books related to crafts, art, creativity, writing prompts, and classics.

I dislike mysteries, weird alien sci-fi, and most biographies.

I'm not picky but..

please do not send me: food,candy,tea,chocolate-no food,please (I'm follow a restricted diet)

peaches (I'm allergic and don't like the colour either), celebrity-stuff, hollywood, teeny fabric scraps, fur (even fake fur), eyelash yarn, skulls, crawly bugs, bath stuff: lotions/bath gels, strong/flowery scents, orangey gold tones, animal patterns, candles/incense, cat nip, reward/religious stickers, anything you would not like to recieve yourself :)

more things about me

I'm pro-choice, open-minded, very liberal, LGBT-friendly, non-religious, spiritual, religious-tolerant, people-tolerant, genuinly friendly, kind-of-girly-kind-of-not, quiet, non-conformist, knowledge-seeking, homebody-ish, introverted, perfectionistic, type person.

I'm not easily offended and I tend to indulge my dark/morbid side.

requests

~ stuffie diy kit (I'd love to make one!)

~ paper craft/collage supplies (I'm just getting into it again and so, my stash is quite small)

Comment: Thank you. Although it was late, it was worth the wait. Your matchbox was cute! I was a bit intimidated by them when I first started altering them, but now I love them. You should try matchbox shrines. They are addictive.
Response: I'm so glad you liked the package I sent. :) The matchbox was fun to make! What's a matchbox shrine? Happy Crafting! and thanks for rating.
