I am a stay at home mom to a very hyper active 18 month old little boy. I have been doing art for about a year now. I have been trading journals on BookMooch.com during that time & have just recently started adding to journals on 1001Journals.com. Now I am moving on to swapping & I am hooked! I am still learning everyday.

I love anything Disney related, esp. the villains and Mickey Mouse.

I love photography, altered arts, art journaling, mixed media, collage, and basically anything handmade. I love quilts and things that are knitted or crocheted but I can't do any of those things myself. I do hope to learn one day though!

I also like hockey.

I also love dance, all kinds of dance although I took tap, jazz and ballet all growing up.

** So You Think You Can Dance * Step It Up and Dance * America's Best Dance Crew * Survivor * Amazing Race * Jon & Kate Plus 8 * One Tree Hill * Oprah * The View * Psych * The Office * My Name is Earl * I love Tivo! I could never watch so many shows without fast forwarding through commercials!

Some ideas of things I like & some things I would like to receive:

• The colors purple * green * pink * silver * gray
• Blank journals
• Sharpie Markers (I esp. like the fine point ones)
• Rubber stamps new or used
• Ink pads in any color
• Acrylic paints
• Cheap paint brushes (the cheapest, I am hard on them & then I throw them out)
• Old hardback books with interesting pictures or hardback books that would be good for altering
• Children's books, esp. hardback or board books
• Maps, atlases old dictionaries & encyclopedias
• Any interesting paper with designs
• Anything hockey
• Anything Disney (although not a huge fan on Pooh and Friends)
• Photographs, esp. of flowers or abstract photos
• Any kind of ribbons
• Postcards
• Hand written letters
• Buttons, any type. I esp. like old ones or interesting ones
• Gluesticks (clear) could always use these
• Tea
• Vintage Ephemera
• Any kind of toy or board book for my 18 month old son (gently used is fine)
• Pitt Pens
• Photo album
• Incense
• Lip balm - esp. Avon - I am addicted to lip balm & go through it like crazy.

I am pretty easy to please but here are some things I do not like or would not like to receive because I have too much of:

• I like candy but I prefer it not to be sent to me. I am diabetic and trying to control with my diet now instead of having to go back on insulin or taking any pills.
• knickknacks
• candles
• magnets
• picture frames
• anything religious

I have not been a member of Swap-Bot very long and unfortunately I am already being flaked on by people. It makes me sad that people do this, please only sign up for a swap if you are actually going to send something!

• I am also disappointed when people do not rate me. I like to be sure my items made it to you in one piece and if they didn't I can correct the problem.
  Plus a lot of work, time & money go into swapping and everybody deserves recognition for that. Please rate! :)
