UPDATE (24 August 2008) - I am grieving over my grandfather's passing right now. Please send me an email/pm if you haven't received your swaps, because a few of my packages have been missing. If you'd let me know, I'll try my very best to send them to you asap. Thanks for understanding.

=============

I love reading, watching movies and tv, surfing the Internet and shopping.

I definitely enjoy swapping and blogging. Please visit my blogs. =)

I am more geeky than girly.

I can't get enough of paper craft supplies and chocolates!

I love using used items and scraps in my arts and crafts.

I have no allergies.

I am a Christian. If you want to send me anything related to Christianity, I'm fine with that.

I am currently living with my boyfriend. He enjoys drinking coffee (he's a coffeeholic! and I'm a chocoholic!), cooking (recipes are always welcome) and watching movies. He’s into oldies and country music; think Jim Reeves, Alan Jackson, the likes. We both love food and trying new recipes. He has a thing for blue ball point pens, especially the clicky types! His favourite colours are purple and maroon.

You can send me anything, unless it's in my dislikes list. But trust me I am not that picky, you can even send me dollar store items.

Something in your stash that you don't use anymore could be treasure to me. =) I always rate generously and always give hearts every time I receive something that you put a lot of effort in or something that shows you actually read my profile.

I would love to do a private swap, especially if you could shop online for me. Nothing too expensive, I just don't have the luxury to shop online right now. =) Just leave me a message!

>>>An altered journal I made for my niece, Jessie for Christmas 2007. She loves it!

I love making paper crafts, especially cards, tags and bookmarks. I love collages and using reusable items. I like mixed media art as well, but I can't paint or draw anything like manga. I am good in structured drawings and doodling, though. I have started to enjoy making altered matchboxes and ATCs. I made altered journals for my three nieces and they love them! I would love to learn to make bead jewelleries.
