About Me
~~IF YOU HAVE ME AS A PARTNER AND DON'T RECEIVE MY SWAP PLEASE PM ME AND I WILL RESEND!! I TAKE MY SWAPS SERIOUSLY~~ ♥♥Thank You
I love writing and learning about various countries and their histories, and talking to a variety of interesting people.
I love to draw and make computer graphics I collect stamps from all over the world to inlcude in my stamp collection.. so any stamps you have whether they be stuck to an envelope, stamped from the Post Office or brand new, I love seeing them included in swaps (for hearts of course) ... see my "Likes" section for more ideas ;)
Thats a little about me in terms of what this site is all about.. but really I am a peppy, happy person.. I love making people laugh and try and get at least one giggle out of everyone I talk to... even if it means making myself look like a complete idiot haha.
Ummm I have my obsessions, like most... I am a HUGE fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and can never have too many clothes, I love using my Magic Bullet (google it) to make smoothies and other things as I love to cook... My favorite animal by far is the giraffe (I guess I can sympathize with being freakishly tall as I am 6'1" lol), I love scrapbooking, crafting, blogging, and arts and crafts. I am really into things that look like they might be from the victorian era/renaissance etc.. things from early Europe. For example Victorian Cameos and detailed wallpapers.
Anyway, feel free to add me as a friend and/or chat with me online.. if not I will see you in the world of snail mail!
Happy Sending!

Hi @miissc Welcome to the "I ♥heart♥ Mail Art - January" swap.....I'm so happy you joined my swap! Looking forward to 'meeting you in the mail'! Have a wonderful day! :)
Hi! "Things that are doing it" swap :)
FAST Profile Comment Swap!!!! Meet new friends!!! Hi Colleen! My name is Kim, I'm from Texas and it's super hot this summer. Yesterday it was 102 and no relief in sight. I see you really love Giraffe's! They are beautiful creatures. But if I liked an animal that looked like I do I'd probably have to like a short blonde heifer! Happy Swapping! Kim
~FAST Profile Comment Swap!!!! Meet new friends!!!~
Hello I'm Jill and your profile is very honest and i like that about people. I like to make little animals but i don't have any GIRAFFE patterents but i'm going to look for some as soon as i get done here. Happy swaping and i hope to see you again in another swap!! Jill
~FAST Profile Comment Swap!!!! Meet new friends!!!~ Hello Colleen. Nice to make new friends and share our life experience. It's incredible how many people like scrapbook. I am not good with that and it's very expensive scrapbook supplies. I love to receive handmade cards and I love to receive scrapbooks, it's really beautiful work. I am Brazilian living in Alaska. I came to Alaska last summer crossing Seattle/Canada and I saw incredible animals on the road. I do have friends living in Canada and I never have been there. I love shopping at Etsy too, it's a excellent website where we find so cute stuff. I read the book Pillars of the Earth - Ken Follet when I was in college for Architecture and I loved this book. I wish you good luck and have a nice weekend.

Many Greetings from Chicago, Colleen!! I enjoyed reading your profile; I agree, you seem like a very peppy, happy person because it surely reflects in your profile! Just reading it, you got a smile out of this girl! :)
I also collect stamps from around the world! It seems to be appearing more and more regularly as a hobby now...I remember when it was very popular and then it kind of died out...now it seems to be back!! :) Makes me smile!
I hope you have a wonderful summer!!
Cheers, Heather
Fast Profile Comment Swap Hi Colleen, My name is Kari and I'm from BC, Canada, where abouts are you from? I love well filled out profiles and enjoy reading people's likes and dislikes. Some of ours are the same, like crafty items and lip balm and some are complete opposites, I'm just not into Victorian and vintage items. I've never read many memoir books but seeing your list of favourites has intrigued me and I'm off to the library today! Happy swapping!
Hi! I'm one of your partners in the FAST Profile Comment Swap.
I liked reading through your profile, and I LOVED your favorite books list - mine is basically the same :) Over the summer I hope to have time to reread Pillars of the Earth and World Without End.
And I see that you liked the Tudors... have you seen the new one, the Borgias? I just finished watching the first season, and I think it was even better than the Tudors.
Have a good weekend!
Emika

Hey Colleen!
Reading through your profile was very nice, you come off as such a fun-loving person! :)
We seem to have quite a few things in common, for example the love for retro/vintage things and novelty items!
I hope I'll meet you again in another swap, until then, take care! ♥
