I am a middle aged single mom to an 8 year old son and a 16 year old daughter, educator and fiber/mixed media artist.
I do not check my po box daily, sometimes not even weekly. I always rate my received swaps.
As a fiber artist, I'm into doing crochet, beading, dying( tie dye, batik, dye painting), and embroidery. Recently I got into art quilting and needle felting. I also like drawing with prismacolor colored pencils and ultra fine line permanent markers. And, I am now into ATCs too. The picture on my profile is a burned out velvet scarf that I dyed.

For clothing, I favor black, russets, burgundy, dark green, purple and teal.
To look at, I like bright happy colors; jewel tones; deep oranges, fuchsia, purples, dark green, teal,etc., in addition to the colors I prefer for clothing. A little pink is ok, but not too much, and not pastel. I also like muted woodland colors with mauve/soft purple.

"Dream of the sun dreaming its worlds. Sing till the song throws out root, trunk, branches, birds, stars. Sing until the dream engenders the spring at which you may drink and recognize yourself and recover."

Please consider becoming a bone marrow donor by joining the National Marrow Donor Program. You could "Be the Match" and have the unique opportunity of saving someone's life.
This is an issue that is very close to home for me. My daughter has Aplastic Anemia. At present she is responding to a drug treatment she received in the fall of 2008 and is doing well. If she needs a bone marrow transplant in the future, there is about a 25% chance of there being a matched donor in the data base. More donors in the registry raises that percentage, for her and anyone else in need.

Also, please consider being a blood and platelet donor at your local blood bank.
