I only sign up for swaps I know I can do. I will usually get them done before partners are assigned so they're ready to go, unless it's something profile specific. I always rate immediately. 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 collect the wire & metal tops from champagne bottles.

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.

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

Sewing, scrapbooking, sewing, wire wrapping beads and other miscellaneous stuff for jewelry, and wire crafts. I also like to repurpose stuff. If there's a way to make something out of nothing I'm going to try it. 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.

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.

Fat quarters-I especially need yellows, pinks & purples, any sewing notions, pretty spools of threads, glass beads, chocolates, flavored coffees, catnip....I'm really not hard to please.

I truly do appreciate anything handmade. If you like it then I'll like it.

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.

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.

I had a hard time deciding whether to even put a wishlist here. I have trouble asking people for things. Usually if I want something I'll just get it for myself or do without, but it seems these wishlists help you guys to figure out what to send to me. I'll be adding to this when I can think of more things to add.
