About Me

I always send! I've tried to catch up with ratings, but if I've missed rating you, just send me a PM to remind me. Thanks!

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.

Creative Projects

I love to make art dolls and am always up for a private swap. I also love altered books, which include tip-ins and chunky pages. Sometimes for fun and more creativity I make a few ATCs, decos, altered tins, even altered bras... I love to try new art projects... And I knit when I want to relax.

Favorite Books

I love to read! I even keep track of how many books I read each year. I like 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.

My son Kitt

I'm a homeschooling mother of my 2 youngest sons. Always trying to make things educational for them.For kids' swaps, please just send for my youngest son, Kitt.

Kitt is now 8 and enjoys sending and receiving mail. His 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 dot-to-dots, but no coloring pages or crosswords.

Kitt also enjoys things like bubbles and cars. He's not interested in action figures and already has enough LEGO for 4 families.

He plays Yugioh cards and always wants another pack of Yugioh cards. He loves to play UNO cards and has 6 different UNO decks. He loves to play games of all kinds. He plays chess, too.

As you can tell, Kitt is very hands-on. 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 no chocolate, please. Though he loves to receive Mike-n-Ike candy, without gelatin.

When I asked Kitt what he'd like, he answered " Mike-n-Ike candy (without gelatin),Hot Wheels cars, Transformers, RC cars, Yugioh cards, One Piece cards, games, book of mazes, GameBoy SP games, play dough".

What I like to Receive

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... dotee dolls, moo dollies, 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... I'll add more to this list later.

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

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

Comment: Dear Hello Laurina, About a week or so ago, I received your beautiful Moravian Stars in the mail as part of the 2009 Ornament Swap. They are delicate and intricate in nature, I like both of them very much and I look forward to putting them on my tree this Christmas. However, my most favorite is the small one--orange and yellow. It seems that the smaller they are the harder they would be, but I wonder if that is true? Thank you for sharing these beautiful ornaments with me and I will proudly hang them on my tree this Christmas. Hope we meet up again at some future swaps. Until then, Happy Swapping!
