I WILL UPDATE and add to this now and then

WARM HELLO to Everyone, PLEASE if anyone is missed or hasn't got something from me, pm me it will not be intented.I MAY have just got in muddle,or sent but delayed in transit. PLEASE contact me before posting,rating me. Making cards, collecting, bits and pieces,looking in craft shops!!(don't we all, collected postcards since very young(have been sent an American state postcard it gives details of the name,flower,orgins for that state very interesting would like to get another), love sunsets seeing them the colours are beautiful,I like clouds too but try to keep my head out of them!generally the countryside,butterflies and roses,flowers are wonderful particularily the simple sunflower, to name but a few. general interests are wide and varied.I make cards mainly for family.I am interested in ACT's and have now made a few since joining here and i'm a little hooked at the moment.Love fabrics and textures just to see them and touch them, don't need to make it into anything, the sewing bug hasn't really caught me but there is time for that yet.I have just bought a beautiful piece of fabric in blue with a shimmer in it, would look great as a scarf/wrap.

I don't log in everyday just to let you know but will respond to all messages and get back to everyone. EVEN if i am away from the computer a few days, sometimes access can be tricky.It's good to hear things have arrived from forums as well, I do try and give feedback when I receive from the forums.

I am not so new now, as you can see I have started swapping.I have set up a few swaps myself. I have had a lot of fun putting together envies and making things.

I enjoy making ATC's still fairly new at this and making greeting cards using various ideas. I am currently into larger interesting glass style beads to make a bracelet (big and chunky one)

Craft, beads, cards, facts on wide range. Like to listen to audio cd or tapes whilst doing other things. -----------I love fountain pens, cheap,fancy or freebies. I like both the cartridge kind and the sort you fill from a bottle of ink.I do use them to write with they don't collect dust here.

Cards,using mixture of mediums, personalising to the person, their interests or colours. Beads just really like them, not used for much so far, but love the colours and the feel the way they glisten in the light.

I have had a wonderfully inspiring magazine from USA on beading absolutely lovelly- would welcome another.Also had a card craft one just as interesting-USA seems to have some great magazines.Uk ones are good too. I have seen twinkling H2o's paints on the tv ans they look great fun would like to try a pot or two. ANYONE know of a computer cd that has really good dragon themes on it? (I can only find one the ones with a couple of dragon images on).

the list here could be vast so open to offers. cd of 3d craft builder,stamped image onto white card or paper( single image) Craft magazines, stamping and cards. Nature, birds, oriental, papers, stamps can be clear. fibres, cello bags for ATC's.Butterfly papers,used interesting stamps,little trinkets that can be added to cards, friendship ,maybe people to write to send cards regular or regular swap packages. wanted a new sparkly liquid eye liner in golden, green, pink or lilac must be new as very sensitive eyes, have just discovered the wonders on sparkly(glittery) liquid eyeliner wow! OOOh sorry just thought of a few no needs thank you,I am not keen on cats or cat things, cat pics, candles(have loads), i'm a coffee drinker(althou know others like tea)and I love to share my packages so thats not a problem.

You name it, I can only say if not got, or may come up with something you not thought of, got to be worth a try. I can also have a hunt around and try to get, have done this couple times recently for items and have enjoyed the challenge of hunting it down. Mine you someone wanted a car number plate, that I could not do!! greeting cards, notelets, ATC, blank cards, stamped images, pretty papers, stickers, scraps(i think thats what you call them) of pics teddies,cats,fish are but a few of the themes i have at the moment, these could be used for collage or ATC's.

INTERESTED in short quick private uk swaps, happy to set up, even if you a newbie. If you are a newbie welcome to swap bot it is a great place to have fun and share ideas and goodies.

I am trying to run a few uk only swaps and an odd europe one here and there.

If you CHECK out my profile every week or so you will see what I am hosting (will try to be active in updating it).

HAPPY swapping
