9/30/09 - HEY THERE! I've sent all my swaps out now and I'm taking a break for now until the weather turns cold again. I am crazy busy and need time for swaps, hopefully as it gets past Christmas! I'm afraid I'll also be unable to do one-on-ones as well. But if you need to get a hold of me, just send a message. I'll be sure to answer. - CJ

I make and like to receive handmade postcards, handmade cards, ATCs, purses & totebags, refurb clothing, dog & cat toys, journals, food crafts, beauty & bath crafts.

• Tea (The ones I don't like are anise/licorice-flavors and rooibos/red bush teas. I find them too strong.) -- My VERY favorite tea right now is Lipton white tea (fruit flavors) in the pyramid-shaped bags. Lovely!
• Postcards - Especially odd, weird and fine art, vintage, quote cards, homemade, and funky ad cards. I like these better than regular "state postcard"-type cards and tend to give hearts for them if the mood strikes me! I also like cards from foreign countries.
• Massage oils, lotions, or creams (not baby oil)
• Retro/kitschy stuff and even "cheesecake"-type pinup items
• JASON brand, Burts Bees, and Toms of Maine products
• Honey sticks & honey products
• Moleskine notebooks
• Zines & Magazines
• Cold pressed soaps
• Gum
• Chocolate -- If you don't think it'll get melty!
• Tajin - It's a Mexican spice produced in the state of Jalisco. It's cheap and we can swap especially for this if you want. We love it!
• Cards, bookmarks, ATCs, etc. featuring Brian Froud-type faeries, goblins, gnomes & pixies
• Cards and decor featuring owls, birds, deer, mushrooms (especially hand-drawn or graphics)
• Renaissance festival items -- feathers, leather pouches, snoods, hair decor, cups, etc. We go every year!'
• WIGS & COSTUMES! I love wigs of all types, costume, non-, etc. and general costume accessories
• Flat paper items (sticker sheets, bookmarks, etc.) to send to my sponsored children in Tanzania and Lesotho, religious or not

I don't use scrapbooking supplies like ribbons, brads, rubber stamps, stamp pads, etc. (I DO like stickers and cut-outs featuring deer, gnomes, owls, birds, travel, or retro-looking objects/characters.)

I don't care for licorice flavored tea or foods/candy, but if I get it my husband will eat/drink it.

People who send things they KNOW aren't done well. ATCs with one sticker or a cut-out picture on them with no effort... Don't waste my time. Send what you wouldn't mind receiving!!!

I DON'T like Disney items. It gets to complicated to list them all out so I'll say that I just avoid them.

Thanks for your consideration.

NOTE: If you have an issue with a swap I sent or if you didn't get it, etc., please PM me first.If we can work through it, it's better for all! I promise the same for you!

I PLEDGE TO RATE. PLEASE RATE IN RETURN. THANKS!
