JUNE 2013 UPDATE: My house was broken into on June 11th, my laptop was stolen, my digital camera was stolen, etc. I also just barely started back to school, needless to say, pretty horrible timing. I don't think I'll be doing many swaps for awhile, but I'll probably still login every now and again.

I'll miss you guys! :)

(I recently realized that if you don't know who Spike from Buffy is, you might think that my avatar is me and that I'm a dude. A super hot blonde dude. I'm not blonde, hot, or a dude. Just wanted to clear that up. *Ahem. Anywho, moving on...)

*********** PLEASE SEE MY COUPON WISHLIST BELOW! THANK YOU! *****************

Also, calling all cross stitchers/needlepointers! I have a TON of supplies to swap, take a look! Goodies

My 8 year-old nephew Quinn really likes anything to do with British Beefeaters, Flash Gordon, and Superman.

My other nephew Brandon loves Batman! And Daft Punk

My Mom would love any seeds for her garden, especially sunflowers! Also, she teaches (and speaks) German, so anything German would be awesome!

My sister collects owl things, in all shapes and sizes

My boyfriend Jesse is a big nerd, so, Star Wars, Star Trek, Lego, thinkgeek stuff, but he's also a sports nut, so N.Y. Mets, N.Y. Jets stuff is great too!

What I pledged

Before every swap, I read and re-read my partners profiles. What's the point otherwise? I want you to love what you get. So, if you don't like glitter, you won't get glitter. Afraid of bugs? Check, no bugs.

A heart is always my goal.

If you're my partner, don't worry about using a brand new envelope. I'm completely okay with you scribbling over, stickering over, whatever, the old address. In fact, I encourage it. Go green! :)

Also, don't feel like you need to send your swap super fast, like paying for a faster ship date or whatever. I can wait. I'm not really a stickler. Stuff happens. As long as you let me know what's up, we're cool.

I'm generous with hearts when I can tell you read my profile. I really appreciate personalization.

Thanks for reading!

The following swappers are awesome, amazing people who have sent me really amazing swaps, and/or are just rad in general (in no particular order):

@Jobeg @Eramore @catsandscales @ladylouie @wunderland @DecoPalace @snoop @maroyau @elisedawn @smadronia @Lexidh @Anouke80 @kayler00 @ChesterSarah

I'm sure I've forgotten several, you ladies rock!

• Coupons! Even if it isn't a coupon swap, if you aren't using them, it would be awesome if you could send some my way! :)

*Super glue (tiny dollar store tubes work!)

*SEED BEADS! And tube beads! I can't find the tubes anywhere if you could please send me some you'd be my crafting hero! Thank you! In particular I'm looking for black opaque tube beads, but any would be great!

*Jewelry Screw Eyes (silver please):

Current craft obsession: curio cabinets, apothecary cupboards, mini shrines. Anything related to these (tiny bottles, seed beads, mini foods) would be amazing!

Thank you for reading!
