About Me

7/ 22 Swapping can be a bit of a fun addiction for me. Especially when I shop to try to match up the perfect item for someone, or I see something that I just know I can use in a swap at some point somewhere in the future. I've never had a full dashboard, but I have had a few swaps that all end within the same week, and it feels a little overwhelming, but at the same time it's exciting. However the time has come for me to seriously slow down (even more) on my swapping. I desperately want to move out from where LBF and I live and that won't happen unless I start saving money for the usual 'first, last, and one month for deposit' thats asked for. Also that wedding that wasn't a rush item is in the proccess of being planned and we'll be needing to save for that as well. I'll still be around here, and I'll still join swaps now and then (and I plan on keeping one personal swap series going), but I need to scale back a lot. I'm not gone, I'm just trying to control the swapping beast. ; )

I'm in my 30's (shhh.. Don't tell my maturity level. It still thinks its in its early 20's! ) and live with my LBF (Lovely BoyFriend). There will be a wedding sometime in the future, but it isn't a rush order item. I don't have any kids (nor plan on having any) in my life aside from being Aunt Ickie to my 3 year old niece. She is my jellybean and I can hardly wait until she's ready to start crafty stuff with me. I plan on stealing her away for 'fun days' very often. Eventually LBF and I will move to a bigger place and adopt a dog, but until then sis has one of those I can borrow too! I've a twisted sense of humor that not everyone gets, and am not easily offended unless its something thats just simply wrong (such as racist jokes), so if you have something you think is funny for a swap, I'd love to see/ hear it!

Things I Like

Eclectic is just a fancy way of saying weird. ; ) There's such a wide variety of things that I adore... Pulp fiction art, vintage (think 30's -50's not 70's and 80's) fashions, Tigger, all kinds of dogs (even kind of ugly ones), horses, midnight and cult classic movies, anything in a shade of purple, collage art, ephemera, notecards, tattoos (real and fake), chocolate (especially the really dark kind), miniatures, mixtapes (mix cd's now), sushi , pirates, books of all kinds, kitschy or vintage purses, cookbooks, stars, and creamsicles just to name some of them.

The list of what I don't like is much smaller... The color orange, the smell of lavender, incense sticks, eggplant, horror films, 70's fabric patterns, and Hannah Montana. I'm also not really into religious items - any religion.

Favorite Crafts

I make beaded bracelets and necklaces that some people like enough to pay me for. : ) I also like papercrafts like making cards. Basically I just like being a lil bit creative. I LOVE receiving ATC's and I've tried to make a couple, but they just seem so inferior to the artwork I see so many others creating. If you get me in a swap and you create ATC's I'd love to have one! I've also recently learned very basic crocheting and have discovered a hidden addiction to yarn. Poor LBF... My crafting ADD means he's always stepping around a new bag of supplies for something.

Favorite Television

I don't watch any tv right now. No, really, I don't! I catch a few shows online ( like GLEE!) , but currently only have a dvd player hooked up to my television. I'm sooo glad there's Hulu.com. sigh I still miss Adult Swim and The Big Bang Theory though.

Favorite Movies

Oh this is a big list! There is no particular order for these favorites. Its too much like asking Grandma to list her grandkids in the order of how much she loves them!
The Breakfast Club, The Nightmare Before Christrmas, Moulin Rouge, A Lot Like Love, Love Actually, Bennie and Joon, In July, About The Looking For And Finding Of Love (those last two are German films) and the list goes on ....

Favorite Music

I'll listen to almost anything but Gangsta Rap and sappy Country music. I'm around opera and classical symphonies as well as instrumental ambient music when I'm with LBF. When I'm with my BFF it's usually R&B or hip hop thats playing. Left on my own, I've got 80's new wave or new folk music on.

LBF

Since he's such a big part of my life and some of the swaps I've been in have included him, I should probably list a bit about my LBF. Here are a few things that might help future swap partners. He's :

  • a vegetarian who very much watches what he eats -so no animal products in food items sent for him please (gelatin, eggs,ect. although he does eat cheese)

    • a serious peanut butter addict. Really! PB&J sandwiches are usually inches thick. If I don't stop him a whole jar can be gone in a single day. He only eats reduced fat PB though, so I guess it isn't too bad for him.

    • not too much of a candy fan unless it's peanut butter-y, although he does like Werthers, Mikes & Ikes, and green M&M's. (weird, I know)

  • straightedge (SXE) so nothing with alcohol or caffeine (he likes the smell of coffee though)

  • an artist- he draws mostly with black gel pens in sketchbooks or on his new computer do-hickey art pad.

    • into art magazines like Juxtapoz, ImagineFX, and others with photopshop / computer art tips.
  • into anime and cosplay (makes great costumes - you should see his Kratos!)

  • into classical music, songs from the 30's and 40's and music like MIA, Tipsy, Busdriver, and some video game music (think Final Fantasy)

  • dresses very 'skater / surfer' usually (as in tees and board shorts with Vans)

    • other random likes: street fighter, ninjas, japanese weaponry, photography, red and white color combinations, fan films on YouTube (he's made a few), NPR radio, graphic art Tshirts in XL ... I'll add more as they come to me!

    Thats about all I can think to add here. If there are any questions, please PM me. :)

Just a note...

The address I have my mail sent to is where my sister lives (where I used to live before moving in with LBF). Its a much nicer and safer (and unfortunately more exspensive) area without sketchy neighbors and I don't have to wonder if the wonderful packages you all send will be stolen. This means though that I don't always get my mail right away. I try to stop by once a week, and always make it within a week and a half to hang out and clean up the mail spot. If it seems like its taking a little while for me to rate you for a package you sent, please feel free to give me a nudge and I'll make sure to get over there and check that it arrived. I'll be sure to rate you right after I get home from getting it, too! Thanks!

Flaked on by...

Unfortunately it's time to add a hall of shame to my profile.

Comment: I received your cards today. Thank you!. The swap wasn't on it, but I was pretty sure it was this one and I was right! I received your other package today. Thank you very very much!! I've only skimmed through the book, but can't wait to look through it during a nice hot bath. Thank you again for being so thoughtful.
Response: Ack! I forgot to mark the envie of postcards with the swap name and the fact that it's one of two packages going to you for this swap. I'm so sorry! They mailed out on the same day, so hopefully part two gets there soon.

MERRY CHRISTMAS from the Crafting Queens group~

Masterbard on Dec 4, 2010:

Vicki rocks! She has made a small Barbie Princess fan a very happy girl, with her incredibly generous RAK of a stuffed envelope of doll clothing. Baggie after baggie of carefully sorted, nicely folded, (did you LAUNDER them or something?) fashionable miniature pieces which thrilled my daughter's heart...from the purple ball gown to the sweet bathing suits, and even some tiny accessories! A heart from me, and happy hugs from my Katherine...

moosemama on Nov 29, 2010:
