March 17, 2021: We've had an unexpected death in my family, so I am running late on RATINGS ONLY. All of my swaps will go out on time. Also, I'm still having issues with lost or delayed mail. I've had to resend A LOT of swaps recently, so please PM if you haven't received something from me. Thank you!

Dog & plant mom, childless by choice, messy bun (getting sh*t done), chemist, dog lover, science geek, Curandera, lunar/green witch, flirty, introvert, feminist, user of profanities, LGBTQ supporter, gun owner, recycler, spunky, migraine sufferer, paper book reader, partnered up with a tattooed total bad ass, a self-proclaimed paper addict, and am an advocate of the federal legalization of cannabis.

I am here to have fun. 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. However, I will not tolerate racism, homophobic language, religious pressure, bigotry, or violence.

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, and soul suckers. You will not find me on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or whatever else is out there.

I love your creativity!!

My last name is COFFIN (by marriage), 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 mixed media, handmade bookmarks & postcards, 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.

This is mostly for my own reference:
