I'm a busy teacher. When I have the time, I like to make crafts, bake, play volleyball, read mysteries, and shop. My favorite colors are red, blue and purple. My favorite animals are bees, dogs, giraffes and hedgehogs. I collect things with bees, antenna balls, handcrafted items by others, handmade bracelets, snowmen, souvenir pens, and souvenir magnets. I love Asian things, especially Japanese craft magazines (I understand a little of it), fabrics and kawaii products (Sanrio, San-X, Kamio, etc.). My ultimate favorite character is Sweet Coron. I love to try all kinds of different foods, especially chocolate. I travel at least once a year and love learning about new places, especially about local eateries and local foods. It would be nice if you could include a postcard of where you live with your swap. There are no Jo-Ann's and Trader Joe stores where I live so anything from them would be greatly appreciated.
Note- I am allergic to dairy products(lactose-intolerant), floral-scented products, and things that smell like cigarette smoke.
I listen to most types of music EXCEPT rap and hip-hop.
I love Poltergeist, Uncle Buck, Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, My Cousin Vinny, The Natural and Beauty and the Beast.
I like to watch 24, all of the CSIs, Monk, Psych, Project Runway, Top Chef, Fringe, anything on the Food Network and Oprah.
I know how to sew and do any art & craft project elementary students can make for the holidays. If that scares you, I did minor in Art in college so I do know how to paint and draw. My current favorites to make are dotee dolls and matchboxes. I also do some scrapbooking, rubber stamping, lei-making and beading. I like to do hand embroidery and make small felt toys. Craft supplies for any of the mentioned crafts will be put to good use. I admire and appreciate other people's talents so handmade swap items are the best! I especially like crocheted or knitted things because I have no clue on how to do either of these crafts.
I wouldn't want to receive these items: *earrings *religious items *coffee *used items unless it was part of the swap requirement *banana-flavored foods *orange, green, or gray clothes *anything with a strong floral or cigarette odor *incense
I don't like the following in kawaii swaps: *frogs *things with skulls *people characters *poop
I can't seem to find peach, light yellow, gray and Cookie-Monster blue felt. If you have some and would like to do a private swap, just send me a PM and I'll be happy to swap with you!

Just a quick note to say thank you for the 2 angeled dotees for the 12 Months of Dotees (Flowers) swap. I wanted to say thank you in the comment section even though I said something in a swap rating! I appreciate your kindness so much! Thank you again.
Noelle, You're such a sweet person!! Being a busy teacher & keeping up with your crafts are so awesome. I used to work as an EA for the past 13 years on Molokai--Worked with Autistic children--not any more though however I will always admire the patience and love of a teacher! Take care, Cindy
