Married to Kurtis--the hottest guy in science class. Mama to Ophelia and Audrey.

I like naps, pretty paper, and dancing around the house.

Funk, soul, reggae, jazz, jam bands, classic rock, loungy chill-out beats, indie chicks, groovy stuff and lots of other stuff I can't categorize. My favorite local band is Wookiefoot. See what I'm listening to by clicking on the Last.fm link above.

Note cards, stationery, memo pads, pretty paper (even used wrapping paper if it's not too crumpled!), scrapbook embellishments, ATCs & 4x4 chunky pages made by you, vintage ephemera, fine point pens, stickers, envelope seals, rubber stamps, postcards & letters, ribbons & lace, textiles & fibers, old buttons, beads of all kinds, chocolates, fruity or sour candies, flavored ground coffee, flowers, trial size bath/beauty products, candles, tea lights, tea towels, doilies, lip balm, tins, office supplies, new postage stamps, mix CDs, little stuffed toys, a windchime.

My favorite colors are greens, purples, earth tones and jewel tones. I love birds, woodland creatures and forest animals, paisley & batik prints, images reflective of nature, and anything vintage or antique. My favorite scent is lavender.

Not a fan of neon and fluorescent colors. I'd rather not receive anything with Disney characters (except Classic Pooh and Bambi). Kawaii is OK, but I don't collect it. I don't care for dog and cat images, unless it is something antique or vintage. I also am not really into patriotic images.

I always rate my partners as soon as I can after I receive an item. If for any reason you feel the need to rate me a 3 or a 1, please PM me first. I pride myself on my perfect rating and will try my hardest to earn a 5 from you.

I always include a hand-written note with my swaps, and am disappointed when I open a swap package to find no note from the sender. I know people are busy, but to me it seems so impersonal not to include even a greeting. A line or two is enough.

I would rather that my partners do not write "Swap-Bot" or anything swap-related on the outside of the packages that they send me. Just a little pet peeve of mine.

About hearts: I don't expect them and I don't think anyone should. I give hearts at my own discretion and think my partners should do the same for me.

I would like to try one-on-one trades. PM me if you are interested.

Cheers!
