Go Make Something!

Stuff I like:

Tea, fabric, ribbon, thread, collage materials, pretty paper scraps, bath and body/perfume type stuff (I currently have a bunch of that stuff), beads and jewelry supplies, books, general craft stuff!! I have a wide range of crafts that I dabble in from sewing and beading to collage and painting. Sooooo, I am pretty easy for the most part, I know I have more than enough fabric and other stuff that would be better swapped and sent out, rather that gathering dust at my place!

I also love original art and recycled/ecofriendly crafts and materials--I am an avid thrift store shopper because I love to recycle and I know when I buy from goodwill, salvation army or local thrifts stores that fund churchs or hospitals--it feels like I am giving money to charity almost every time I shop! It's awesome.

Colors: Purple, silver and black are my favorites (green too!), but I'm pretty welcome to almost anything else but neon colors :-)

I do tend to use recycled shipping materials that I have received in the mail when I have ordered stuff online, etc.

I have pets and I do smoke sometimes, but I do my best to keep swap stuff separate and safe and deoderized/washed before sending out as appropriate.

Please PM me with any issues with a swap before giving a bad rating so we can work it out! I have been on swap-bot for almost a year, and I want to maintain a good reputation. ^_^
