About Me

I only sign up for swaps I know I can do. I always rate. If you don't receive something from me PLEASE let me know so I can rectify it immediately.

I live in Massachusetts with my husband and two girls - ages 6 & 15. Also my good buddy Henry the cat whose picture is in my profile. Between working full time and taking care of my family/house/everything else, I try to get some crafting done. Not easy sometimes.

I sometimes have a slightly warped sense of humor. You cannot offend me in any way. I must add here that my young daughter likes to open my swaps, so please label the outside if there's anything over PG-13 rated inside.

I collect the wire & metal tops from champagne bottles.

Favorite Music

I generally find myself listening to mostly classic rock. However my tastes also run towards bands like Cake, Beck, The White Stripes, Band of Skulls. I've also just discovered Modest Mouse.

Favorite Television

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,The Office, Northern Exposure, Big Bang Theory, Z Rock, Arrested Development. I miss Testees, that show was hilarious.

Favorite Crafts

Sewing, scrapbooking, sewing, wire wrapping beads and other miscellaneous stuff for jewelry, and wire crafts. I also like to repurpose stuff. I've recently started doing ATC's and I love them! I can't get enough embellishments for them. I'd like to try my hand at dotees, however until I actually get to hold one in my hands I'm a little afraid mine would come up short of acceptable.

Dislikes

I don't like "cutesy" things like Hello Kitty or "character" things such as Disney items. Don't really care for animated anything or religious items. Cheap stickers turn me off. Really off. Please don't send me stickers.

Again-please no stickers.

Always a safe bet to send me

textured/handmade papers papers

interesting embellishments for ATCs & scrapbooking

fat quarters(I especially need yellows, pinks & purples)

pretty spools of threads

glass beads

chocolates

flavored coffees

catnip

....I'm really not hard to please.

I truly do appreciate anything handmade.

Colors

I like earth tones. Browns, greens, pinks, creams are my favorites.. I don't really care for pastels, and fluorescent ANYTHING would be horribly horrible. Ick.

Favorite Books

I love short horror and science fiction stories and anthologies. (Not Stephen King, all done with him). Anything on the paranormal/supernatural fascinates me, fictional or non-fictional, excluding vampires, I'm tired of vampires. I like historical fiction, stories in general about people's everday lives. I like crafting/decorating books also. Not too much into mysteries. I don't like romance novels at all.

Wishlist

A Dotee doll

Fat quarters

double sided tape

ATC/Scrapbook embellishments. Not stickers.

handmade papers

Pages/text from books in languages other than English.

My flakers.....

I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your package to me for the WTA game in the group TSJ. It really made my day! You really took the time to get me such great items and I will use them all! I love the spoons and so did Isabella! She walked around with them as soon as I showed them to her (she isn't even 2 so she doesn't know what they are but she liked them!) and I absolutely love the book! I can't believe your daughter didn't. Everything is just great! Thank you thank you thank you! Here is a big bouquet of roses :o)
