“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

I post pictures of my swap creations on my blog, Cut Out + Keep, deviantART, Flickr, 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.

What I Pledged.

My name is Suzanne and I'm a 34 year old female from Tennessee. I am a social worker by trade, but have been out of work for the past four years. I have bipolar disorder and in the past years it has become so severe that I am unable to work, so I receive disability. I've turned to crafting as both my job and my therapy. I have an Etsy shop and take private commissions for hand sewn plushies and dolls. In March of 2012, I graduated from Peer Support Specialist Training. Within the next year or two, I hope to be able to go back to work in the mental health field as a PSS.

• Intolerant people, especially when it comes to religion. I'm a Christian, but believe that all religions should coexist. I also believe that all religions are related to some extent. I'm more spiritual than religious and believe in love and acceptance. I don't mind to receive religious items (just nothing Satanic or related to dark magic--I'm anti-evil). I'm very open-minded and wish other people would be as well.
• I really don't like holiday items except for Valentine's Day and Halloween. For some reason, I hate most Christmas and Easter items because I find most of the commercialized stuff tacky. I do like handmade Christmas and Easter items though.
