I PLEDGE TO RATE. If you do not receive a swap, please contact me before rating, and I will make amends. Postal blips happen. If the swap says sent, it means it's in the hands of the post office. I always rate, and appreciate the same. The pledge as stated in Swap-bot is also my pledge, just can't get the logo to go in my profile.

I live in the Pacific Northwest in the U.S.A., on Whidbey Island. I love it here because it's always so green (we get lots of rain), and nature abounds. The ocean is just 4 or 5 minutes from us. We spend a lot of time there in the Summer. I enjoy all kinds of art and crafting. My sweet wonderful hubby is so patient with my craft explosion when I get into my artsy mode. I'm also mom of two grown kiddo's, grandma of 6, kitty mommy to Jack. Fave color is purple, blue, green, and rainbow, though all colors are amazing in their own way. Don't care for pastels much. I like gardening, cats, dogs, nature viewing, teddy bears, buttons, collecting beach glass, the ocean, reading, sudoku, carving, discovering and experiencing new things, making new friends and much more. I got my degree in Graphic Arts Technology. I journal with several people, both written and art journaling. I've found that I like artsy journaling best...there's just something about adding artistic creativity to pages of written words, that makes it unique and come alive. I love swapping, and have swapped more times, with more people than I can count. I'm big on the follow through...from both sides. When I say I will, I do. It's so disappointing when someone doesn't follow through. Smiles, Sandy P

updated slightly 9/16/09...I have always loved art. My daddy was an artist forever, and if I wasn't born with my love of art, I must have gotten it from him. Not in this order: Seriously into 1:12 scale dollhouse miniatures recently, polymer clay, miniature people, sewn dolls, natural things to use for artsy projects. I like drawing (especially doodles), altered art, collage, art journaling, beads and beading, making charm bracelets, carving wood, stamping, dotee dolls, paper art, vibrant colors are awesome, mosaics, macrame, candle making, needle felting mini jointed critters, crochet, beads, buttons, unique yarn/fibers/ribbon and paper, embellishments, unique and foreign coins, handmade things, dotee/raggedy/sock and monster dolls, fun socks, color pens, miniatures/dollhouses, ornaments, unique rocks/crystals/shells, candles, chocolate, confetti, gardening/plants, bookmarks/tags, charms, butterflies, dragonflies, fairies, gnomes, elves, dragons, cats, gargoyles, trees, tiny stuffed critters, postcards-bought/handmade, flowers, cute mice, scarves, tiny collector spoons, tiny books/tins, cigar type boxes, kites
