I love to be creative and in my spare time and you will find me in my basement doing the following: mixed media, stain-glass, creating magnets from domino's and bottle-caps, making jewelery, altering "anything" (bottles, boxes, books), making book-markers, making collages and creating ATC's with several colors and textures. I'm 49 years old and have 2 boys ages 19 and 22. Time has really, really gone by..........I still remember when they were 2 and 5, phew!!!!!! I live in the Midwest (Minnesota - state of 10,000 lakes)....

Stain Glass, Mosaic, Handmade Magnets with Domino's, bottle-caps and other game pieces, ATC's, Jewelry Making and altering anything.

I love old "vintage" items. I love to receive anything "ephemera" with the old vintage looks. I collect old photos, old bingo cards, old ticket stubs, old looking hearts, old dice, wooden domino's, old postage stamps, mini bottles, etc.

My favorite colors are non-primary colors...I love any color that is not a primary color but hues, tints, and combination of these colors are perfect for me. However, I do appreciate primary colors, but it's just hard for me to use them myself. Don't be afraid to send me something with those colors. I love to Golf and walk. I'm not a big fan of Holiday Themed items (ex: Christmas, Halloween, Easter) but if I do receive them I always re-gift to someone who does like them.

Buttons, Brads, Old Postage Stamps, Rubber Stamps, Calligraphy items, Miniature Games Pieces, Dice, Domino's, Ephemera, Bottle Caps for Magnets, old keys, old Bingo Letters, Scrabble tiles, small mini jars, skeleton keys, regular keys, Vintage Buttons, etc.

Note: I am trying to fill a Large Jar full of DICE so I would be willing to do a swap for DICE or receive dice as extra goodies.

Dislikes:
- Glitter - School Stickers - Disney Character Stickers - Plastic Beads - Scraps of Misc. Paper Smaller than 6"x6" (I have way too much). However, I love scraps of Ephemera.
Notes: If you do send the above items I usually re-gift and send to someone who would enjoy them. I hope you don't mind.

I LOVE Any type of OLD Jewelry as I re-purpose, combine and mix and match Jewelry pieces. Let me know if you have any OLD pieces broken or not.

Scrabble Letter Tiles, Scrapbook Paper, Embellishments, Watches and Assorted Watch Parts, Ephemera, Smaller Domino's, Mosaic Pieces, Small Tiles, Round Gems, Marbles, Old Bingo Numbers, Assorted Ribbon, Jewelry Pieces (Even Mismatched or Broken), Small Wooden and metal boxes/tins (so I can alter them), mini bottles and keys.

I can honestly say that I've only been flaked on twice and I am very fortunate. This is a great place to swap but sometimes you just have to be careful on which swaps to join.
