pickle

hello fellow swappers!

i live in central british columbia, canada. i work part time and parent full time i currently have two children, 5 dogs, 1 cat and a bearded dragon.

i spend as much time as possible crafting and creating.i also work two part time jobs...ick the planning required to get through the days n some sort of organized fashion.

i enjoy laughter, camping, visiting, thought provoking questions and i fully value friendships

i love to chat on the telephone, friends who just stop by for a visit and those who suggest going for a walk or doing something else together. sadly such friends seem few and far between. i wonder if it is age, timing, lifestyles,peoples energy levels and so on. i wonder allot :)

i sometimes write short stories, often from the perspective of a hippo. i collect hippos in various forms. my nickname is pickle so i also have a variety of pickle items. i love color...all colors especially the bright ones

*i love quotes and poetry and zines.LOVE THEM!

• handmade items. i love seeing what other people are making, what inspires them, what they spend their time doing, creating, collecting.
• my crafts consists in large part of metal work...jewelry that is personalized. i also try my hand at doodling and painting but my ambition is far larger than my talents and things in this genre dont always turn out.
• i tend to put out a perzine a couple times a year.

i am always interested in private swaps if that is your fancy!

folk music... ben harper, jack johnson, johnny cash, local folk music...

coal miners daughter, a chorus line, lord of the rings series...almost anything with tommy lee jones...action movies

i wont even try to deny it...i love television but we dont get any channels :( so, i often will watch series that i borrow or rent on dvd. i watched six feet under, 24 (final season), breaking bad, charmed...i am always looking for suggestions.
i have medium next up, dexter and the harry potters....

i have tried many a craft and am always looking for that craft that grabs me.

i make fork jewelry, sew, knit, felt, write, stain glass, rug hook, make pin back buttons...among the few. i like to give my creations away. i would love to sell my items but i have not figured that out yet...and i wonder if it would take the fun out of it.

*i will always rate if i receive...and even pr ovide extra time for those who may get a swap away late. if i have not received anything...i will rate a 1 but be open to changing that rating if something should come along. i wont email you privately to tell you it did not show...thats what the rating is for in my opinion. I will not tolerate meaness or rudeness. There is enough of that in real life. i will not engage, i will not shower you with any attention.

to the majority of you who send, and send fabulous letters and whatnot. hats off to you and your thoughtfulness.
