I love private swaps so please let me know if you would like to do one! I also have tons of supplies etc not yet listed.

DESPERATLY SEARCHING FOR - hard back book covers separated from their pages, with or without their pages. I have projects for both but can't bring my self to destroy an intact book! I have been looking for month it finally dawned on me that perhaps someone here could help. I am sure I could find something to swap. I also have an address in the USA to receive mail.

I AM INTO : (at the moment!)

• Polymer clay (from molds mainly) usually flat back, which I can then use as embellishments both for jewellery and paper crafts. I have also used some in altered art.

• Making molds for polymer clay. They can be made from so many things - buttons, cabochons, jewellery, charms, ornaments etc

• I have been making my own jewelry cords and as an extension I am learning japanese braiding - "Kumihimo" and chinese knotting.

• Altering anything - I like to alter and decorate tins and boxes, even picture frames and silverware! I want to try altering cigar boxes but they are hard to find! Just started altering dominoes and Tim holtz fragments and loving it. I have tons of tins and boxes but smaller flat items and broken bits of jewelry to glue on altered items would be appreciated.

• Paper crafts - I dont actually scrapbook but i do use a lot of the supplies to make tags, bags, boxes, cards...and what ever else i can think of. I have a cricut and a big kick and love them both!!! At the moment I am making assorted mini album blanks and assorted types of folders.

Vinyl : I love using my cricut to cut vinyl! I am making assorted types and sizes that can be used on lap tops, phones, appliances, windows, walls etc! Some of the vinyl is totally safe for walls and the rest can be used on walls with caution. I am also using chalk board and whiteboard vinyl to make tags and labels.

• Knitting and crochet - i do a bit of both but in small amounts as i seem to be developing carpel tunnel

• Felting - I love to needle felt both to make flat and 3d items and to felt on something. I also like to felt wool sweaters and use the resulting fabric .

THINGS I LIKE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: I am trying to make this list easier to read!

FABRIC!! I am learning to sew and Any fabric would be welcome. I love charm squares, jelly rolls fat quarters etc! Any odds and ends are very welcome but no small scraps please and thank you! Notions and small tools too! I have lots of things to swap so hit me up if you would like to do a one on one!

WISH LIST - *. I have a large glass bottle that I keep by my chair for water and would love to have interesting/ special glasses for my water. Any kind any size!

AT THE MOMENT I AM INSEARCH OF:

• Cords of all types ( cotton, satin, nylon, hemp ) but especially satin rattail to make necklace cords and for kumihimo. I can generally use any types as I mix them but absolute minimum would be 1 foot preferably 2 feet to 1 yard. That being said i could always use shorter lengths on ornaments and the like.

Again for my cords i can always use jump/split rings, end caps for the necklace cords in any size or colour (used in pairs) and clasps of all types especially toggle clasps. I have made so many cords I am out of everything!

I am also looking for rubber stamped inspirational type quotes. My preference is stamped and diecut or punched, on any color colored card stock, but I will take them ant way I can get them! I would like them for use on folders, cards, boxes and for mini albums!

• vintage sewing notions including wooden spools with or with out thread and any sewing theme embellishments of any type

• I collect nativity sets of any kind. I love those that reflect the country they are from. I am happy to receive these all year!

• Would LOVE empty coffee sacks for asst projects.

• love cigar boxes of all types, vintage or not in any size or condition! They are so hard to find!!!

*. I like black licorice candies of any type especially gummies and liquorice all sorts. I am particularly fond of all Haribo candies especially the mixes. ( we can only get the bears)

• I am addicted to lip balm (not gloss) especially the "medicated ones " like Carmex.

• Like many people I love to try as many different kit kat flavors as I can!

• I love reusable bags for groceries, especially the fold up ones.

• would love a sewn garbage bag and an organizer for my car. They are beyond my sewing abilities.

In general I like strong or bright colors over pastels. I am fond of non - traditional color combinations like orange and turquoise, fuchia and orange, purple and turquoise or purple and orange...i am sure there are others! I also like greens and brown and rust type colors.

Thank you but no thank you:

As I have done a lot of swaps i am starting to notice I have an excess of certain things.

For example note cards, note books of all types and pads of paper! I am out of room to store them!!

There are a few things that i do not use at all and do not like to receive. Thank you for not sending the following:

• Wooden pencils
• erasers of any kind
• anything geared at kids
• postcards
• kids or low quality stickers - actually most stickers
• Magnets - i have nothing to stick them on!
• stamped images (except as above)I don't get the point of the black on white and I don't use them at all!
• radom bits and pieces of paper. I have so much I don't even save my own scraps anymore.
• atc's
• sequins/confetti i just dont use them in any form!

Thank you for your consideration in not sending these items. They will be of much better use to someone else.

In general I like items that are useful!

Please always be honest with me about swaps I understand life happens but i really dislike being lied to!!!

If there is a problem with something I have sent please feel free to let me know and I will extend the same courtesy on swaps i receive.
