IIMPORTANT: After April 7, please send all swaps to me at my summer address in Sweden. I would hate to have to wait 4 months to rate a swap because it got left sitting in an empty mailbox in AZ.

I always send! If I've missed rating you, just send me a PM to remind me. Thanks! If you haven't received, please check with me before rating. I always send.

creative mother of 4 sons... My favorite color is GREEN! I love things that are feminine, even cute and girly, as I get my fill of masculine stuff with a house-full of males.

I love things from nature like trees, leaves, butterflies, flowers and birds. Even fairies and goddesses make me smile. I love to make art! And I love to receive something handmade from you. I love to make art dolls and altered books, which include tip-ins and chunky pages.

Sometimes for fun and more creativity I make a few ATCs, decos, altered tins... I love to try new art projects... And I knit when I want to relax. Sometimes I sew, quilt and crochet, too.

I love to read! I like cozy mysteries, historical romances, chic lit, non-fiction, and sometimes even a young adult book or two. Good that I have 4 sons, so I can use them as an excuse to buy young adult books.

I'm a homeschooling mother of my youngest son, Kitt. Always trying to make things educational for him.For kids' swaps, please just send for my youngest son, Kitt.

Kitt is now 12 and enjoys sending and receiving mail. His favorite color is now red. His second favorite color is orange.

Kitt likes cars and mechanical things. He always likes something to take apart or to figure out. He enjoys the occasional puzzle or other things to "put together". He even enjoys books of mazes or word esarches, but no coloring pages or crosswords.

He loves to play UNO cards and has 10 different UNO decks. He loves to play games of all kinds. He plays chess, too. He plays Yugioh cards once a week and always appreciates a pack of Yugioh cards.

Kitt is very hands-on with his activities and goes to scouts, 4H shooting sports, 4H arts & crafts, karate, and jutjutsu. He is also learning to play golf and violin. He also loves to build. I take him to Lowe's Kids Club twice a month, and he's quite excited with every project he does there.

Kitt is vegan, so nothing with milk or gelatin. Though he loves to receive Mike-n-Ike candy, without gelatin.

Kitt also loves cats and dogs. He does like Darkwing Duck and Scooby Doo.

When I asked Kitt what he'd like, he answered "Yugioh cards, vegan candy, book of mazes, Wii games, and LEGO Ninjago."

I love to receive handmade items! Some of the things I just love that I've received from swaps here on swap-bot so far include... a beautiful quiltie, dotee dolls, a handmade quilt, knitted prayer shawl, knitted washcloth with handmade soap, knitted dish rags, painted spoon ornament, tip-ins, altered book, sewn pin cushion, mini-fairy doll, a wonderful painting of Happiness... so many wonderful swappers here! Even a handmade deco page or ATC would be appreciated. I find so much inspiration in seeing what someone else has made.

Did I mention that my favorite color is GREEN...

What I don't want: please no strong smells, like perfume, bath stuff or incense.
