Obsessive crafter with an over abundance of supplies and ideas. I enjoy beading and jewelry making, sewing, crocheting, crafty craziness. I enjoy all kinds of crafts and handmade goods from others. Love animals of all kinds, all colors. Just not picky as long as things are done with pride and love of their craft. Always fascinated at how clever people are! I'm pretty hard to offend, I don't believe in "sacred cows", unless you are just trying to offend! If something is out of the range of my belief system I usually just pass it along or find it interesting to see what someone else believes. I live in Tome' New Mexico on an acre in a very rural area. I live with my Mother and my Husband, 2 of my favorite people! We live in an old adobe' ranch house that has been added on to and redone a number of times over the years.

Anything kid natured gets passed on to nieces and nephews who all love crafty things.

Oh yeah! And I do recycle packaging because, not only am I "green" but I am also cheap. I own this about myself. Would rather spend $$ on materials than envelopes! AND bless all of you that put a little note in your package with the swap and your name and any other little thoughts you have! Saves my memory and I love hearing about how things came about.

Also if you don't recieve something from me please let me know. I will always resend! The mail can be a tad unpredictable at times.

beading, crocheting, sewing, painting, really gotten into swapping FBS

Wool and fake pine. Weird huh?

If you do not receive something from me please let me know . Always happy to resend! If I haven't gotten your package I will PM so you know.

I will rate your swap, never fear. Hate it when others don't so I always do.

And, yes, I do pass things on and hope people will pass my stuff on. It's not that I don't like it, it's that it's better for somebody else or else I cannot use it. It's still very appreciated. In fact, I once got a necklace back that I had passed on months before! Ha!

Charms, cool beads, toggles, eyelets for fabric, vintage linens, funny or clever quotes, cool buttons, anything gargoyle, anything Avs hockey, english bulldog, craft stuff, otters, owls, art photos, (my husband loves Star Wars & Star Trek), brooches, animals (magnets, pins, stuffies, etc.) lobsters, refrigerator magnets, dangly earrings, things from other countries, chocolate, handmade cards, letter sets, stickers, anything homemade!

On the swaps that I do host I try to keep track of everybody's notes and comments but sometimes miss things posted on the swap itself. If you have something to tell me or a question to ask please PM me as I will be sure to get your note that way. Also, I will always Angel my swaps but you need to let me know if you haven't received something. As a host I can't see the communications between you and your partners so don't know if things have fallen apart or if you've been chatting happily away for months about a late swap. I am always happy to get PM missives so please feel free!
