“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”--Dr. Seuss

Some Things I've Made

I post pictures of my swap creations on my blog, Cut Out + Keep, and Facebook! If you happen to be a potential swap partner, you may want to steer clear of those sites until you receive your package from me. I am a smoker, but I try my hardest to be considerate.

what I pledged

I've participated in several craft swaps on Cut Out + Keep, but am new to swap-bot. You can view my CO+K profile HERE, but be aware that I do post things I've created for swap-bot swaps there before I've sent them out. Swaps are not rated on CO+K, but are hosted by members on the "Board."

I'm currently searching for a job right now, but was a case manager for foster children for over 7 years. I now have a lot of time for crafting :) Crafting is therapy for me as I am diagnosed with bipolar disorder, anxiety, and ADD. I've battled these illnesses since I was a teenager, and it's not gotten any easier. I am always glad to listen to anyone who is going through rough times, so feel free to PM me if you need someone to listen. I'm not that great at giving advice, but I try.
