Update: June 17, 2019-I have several (multiplied by like 6) Friendship sheets, Friendship Books, and Label Bags. Please PM if you are interested and committed to play and pass them along. TY

My name is Angela. I'm forty, but consider myself an older soul. I used to be married to a tattooed total bad ass, now I'm just happy. I have no children but am a mom to two very cool rescue dogs. I work full time and am working on my second degree in Chemistry.

I'm a dog lover, science geek, gun owner, paper book reader, a self-proclaimed paper addict, and am an advocate of the federal legalization of cannabis. I love a clean home, to be clean, smell good, and get dirty. I love to love, use profanities, laugh, joke around, talk shit, act silly, and talk in different accents.

I'm not easily offended. I actually get a kick out of the nude, rude, crude, perverted, vulgar, and dark humored. I enjoy the different, bizarre, weird, and totally inappropriate.

I do not participate in any social media. This is the closest I get. No Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, or whatever else is out there. I figure that if I want someone to know my business, I'll just tell them.

I obviously dislike the mistreatment towards animals, children, the disabled, and the elderly. I can't stand bullying, the greedy, irresponsible, negative spirits, the ungrateful, liars, bad drivers, and soul suckers.

I love your creativity!!

My last name is COFFIN, so if you have anything coffin related that you'd like to share, please feel free to do so! Thank you.

CRAFTS

I love to get lost in my creativity. I like to try all forms of art. I like Decos, mixed media, handmade bookmarks, vintage ephemera, weathered book pages, embellishments, paper crafts, vintage black and white photos & postcards, good quality handmade things, paper & postcards in foreign languages, stitched paper crafts, card making supplies, ATCs, and junk journals. I love to upcycle and recreate. I reuse packaging when I can and I save creative envelopes to use in my junk journal.

I am interested in altered tins, flip books, zines but have not dabbled in them yet.

DISLIKES

I'm not fond of social media, monkeys/apes (they totally creep me out), chocolate, Disney, coffee, clowns, cute/child stickers, smell of cigarette smoke, rodents, and snakes. Please do not send me anything religious or political unless swap specific.

I pledge to rate. Not rating is almost as bad as flaking, in my opinion. If you haven't received a rating from me, chances are, I haven't received it. Also, I check my ratings to track swap receipts. If you haven't rated me, I will contact you to ensure receipt of my swap.
