IMPORTANT: I am back from vacation and will make sure all late swaps are mailed on Monday the 18th

I feel my rating is a personal relection of me to those on the internet and I work very hard at maintaining a 5.00 rating. Please pm me about a swap before rating me a 1.I am in the US and sometimes packages take a bit of time to arrive. I have NEVER and will NEVER flaked on a swap. I will gladly replace a package that has truly gone missing.

I am a 37 year old stay at home mom of two - my daughter is 7 and my son is 4. I'm originally from NY but am living in South Carolina. I've been married to my wonderful husband for 8 years and absolutely adore my family.

I really enjoy swapping and have made some great online connections. Right now my favorite hobby would definately be thrift store shopping. I LOVE the nature of the hunt. I must confess, I am a fabric, felt and paper junkie and love combining all three in my artwork :)

and trade with fellow collectors. I might be able to find treasures for you here in South Carolina that you can't in your neck of the woods. My list of collectins has grown: -thimbles -handmade pincushions and needlebooks -anything with birds -vintage child sewing patterns(up to late 60's) -vintage fabric and buttons -vintage / new office labels - red and white plastic salt and pepper shakers - mugs with bids on them

just incase you're interested :) My daughter Jordan is 7. She has officially outgrown Disney Princess' and I fear her Polly Pockets will follow. She LOVES the JONAS BROTHERS, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Goosebumps, Harry Potter and Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends. Pink, purple, red and blue rank high in color for her. She is crafty like her mommy and loves to create art :)She collects novelty erasers, sharpeners and pencils. She loves notepads and journals. She is starting to collect stationary as well.

My son Jake is ALL boy. Cars, trucks, dinosaurs and pirates are high on his list. He loves Spideran, Batman, Superman and Diego. He loves to color, cut and glue -doesn't every 4 year old. No favorite colors for him, they all end up dirty anyway :)He loves water toys and can not have enough coloring and dot to dot books.

I love scarry movies and lately have been on a zombie kick. I'm definately not a chick Flick type of gal. As for TV, I watch all the CSI shows, Law and Order SVU, Prision Break and Reaper. I am also drawn to several reality show: Survivor, Amazing Race and Big Brother -they humor me :)I don't make any time to read but love doing word puzzles.

I love to sew, create collage / mixed media art, altered art and enbroidery. Felt has taken over as my favorite medium lately. With the right scissors, it cuts like butter and can handle so much. I love cotton and linen fabrics.
