About Me

ALWAYS FINDING ART PROJECTS IN STUFF AROUND ME (OTHER THAN THEIR INTENDED USES)

Favorite Music

classical (esp. baroque chamber)to country (jodee messina; alan jackson) but my pre-sets in my car are mostly on my public radio station. music is mp3 for walking (6- 8 mi. a day)

Favorite Crafts

attracted to that which glitters; fond of metalwork; like stained glass and mosaic. I tend to work big so I don't have use magnifiers ( a vision thing).

I love swaps b/c it brings me happy art mail!

Favorite Television

ONLY WATCH ONE SHOW- HEROES ( BUT I MANAGE TO MISS EVERY OTHER EPISODE)

when tvs go high-def only, i may not get one. I can't realy se t.v. very well, anyway. It is like radio to me.

Favorite Books

Yeah, lost my reading vision- so I don't do much of that any more.

i like blank books for art projects.

never met an altered book i did not like.

Volunteer

OTHER: Girl Scout leader (Brownies); they love a good craft; but the program is really about leadership development; lots of good teamwork and cooperation skill development in craft projects

i also train Cub Scout leaders.

Geo-politics

war makes me sad, breaks myheart and keeps me awake at night.

only buy fairly traded chocolate. google slavery, africa and chocolaate sometime. it will break your heart.

Favorite Color

PLAID ! (yes, it is a color)

Other-Other

OTHER-OTHER: love swaps; gives me something to do at lunch at work in a snaggy work situation (I love lunch)

3 kids- college age.

2 cats

love the northwoods, jack pine, and call of the waves of gitchigumee (longfellow)

Comment: I'm so sorry that the PO butchered the first doll... I have seen what they have done to shipped eggs and such, so I can imagine! But I do love the doll you sent :D Thanks!

Comment: Thank you so very much for the pink Santa! I put him on a shelf above my desk, he's going to cheer me on. Very skillfully made, too. He makes me smile. Great job! And I loved the butterfly stickers, too. Hugs, Malgosia [Keti]

Comment: Amazing swap! Thanks! and the bonus apron was a real thrill! I'll be wearing them layered as I pass out candy for Halloween, how wonderful!
Response: Now here are a few things Mrs. Tate from Home Ec would never have imagined. Layering aprons (I heartily approve of the concept!); the internet and personal computers; and trading your Home Ec project away when it becomes vintage! Happy Halloween!

Response: Punk Princess: your muse-doll implores you pay the 2-coin ransom so that she may be returned to you. You really should not trust me to know exactly what to feed your muse. She is wasting away. Pay the ransom, I urge you!She will then be mailed to you, safe and sound. Signed, The Muse -nappers

Comment: I adore the fox ATC...We see them quite a bit around here!...And Nell, you went OVER THE TOP with the wand!!!..It is sooooo cool, I will treasure it always...You rock, girlfriend!...Thanks so much for a better than good swap!
Response: I have been having so much fun making wands lately. It started when I was collecting driftwood sticks on Lake Superior while visiting my friends lakehome. I have fun ones, silly ones, art-y ones, flower-y ones. I must have 20 by now. I ahve no idea what i will do with them all- but I am having fun making them still. I am glad you are enjoying yours. I am still trying to get over my big sis Emily's recent death- I guess i need to find magic. So I will keep making wands.

I did indeed Google slavery and chocolate, and I read a few articles before I finally got to one that listed producers and their partial involvement in child slavery through their purchase of Ivory Coast cocoa. Geesh, pretty much every major manufacturer I have ever known :( It's deeply saddening.

I did get the frame but not a cup. Maybe it will come soon?

Hello fellow swappers If you’ve been keeping an eye on my profile you may have noted the address changed a couple of times. That’s because in the last few weeks I’ve made two very unexpected moves and fallen behind on my swaps. As this is my first lot with swapbot im feeling highly embarrassed about the way it’s gone so far. I pride my self on being on time, always and this is quite frustrating to me.

I wanted to offer all my partners my most sincere and heartfelt apologies – I will be posting all of my swaps out this week or early next, but they ARE going out. You have most certainly NOT been forgotten or flaked on. My limited access to the net of late has also caused this apology also to be late, but I am on top of it and I have some pretty things to put in the post as soon as I can get to the post office.

Warmest wishes belili
