I'm an elementary school 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. There are no Target, Jo-Ann's, Bath & Body, and Trader Joe's 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, X-File reruns, Prison Break, all of the CSIs, Monk, Psych, Project Runway, Top Chef, What Not to Wear, 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'm starting to get into ATCs and making stuffies. 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
