I like most current Indie type music (Decemberists,M Ward,Blind Pilot Blitzen Trapper),old Talking Heads and 70's,80's popular music.Not as fond of jazz and classical.

I like the new series Grimm,The Good Wife and most public broadcasting shows like Austin City Limits,Frontline,American Experieince and British comedy.

I like felting,both needle felting and wet felting.I am a crocheter and knitter,used to be a weaver.I love all the cool little felt figures like in the book "Felties"Love papercrafts-collage and cool paper assemblages.I also like watercolor and acrylic painting.

Things from other countries that are unique,mail art,most colors except all black (is that really a color?)Ragdoll cats,Etsy bath and body products (no lavender scents).Day of the dead images.Unusual collage materials.Old music sheets.

Lavender scents,"cute" animal images,color black(except at Halloween!),tea bags,coffee,candy,fragrance oils in the mail.Food items in the mail in general.Pens and pencil,erasers-I have so many of these.

Matisse,Frida Kahlo,Picasso,Maira Kalman,David Byrne.

I live in the Pacific NW.I have participated mainly in the Freshly Blended Holiday Ornament Swap here and off Swapbot.The coordinator did not rate the swap,but it was a 3 (handcrafted holiday ornaments sent in a package both in the US and internationally).Unfortunately,there was a lot of flaking and non-rating with this swap and I decided not to do it again on Swapbot.I'm looking for other swapping experiences here with hopefully a better experience.I do appreciate all the people not connected with the Holiday Ornament Swap who angeled folks I also participated in the Valentine Ornament Swap which was a handcrafted ornament/package swap,but non-rated.This was a swap with some of the people who had swapped holiday ornaments previously and was great!.It doesn't look like I have participated in any Type 3 swaps,but if you look closely I have,they were just never rated.
