I'm sorry, but I can't any more groups at this time--I have too much going on outside of Swap-bot and no time to give it the attention it needs right now. Thanks for asking though!

I'm sneaking in a couple of swaps now and then that I'm sure I can manage--Things are unpredictable, but trying to settle back into "normal" again, nothing terrible is going on, just confusion and a little chaos here and there. I've started a new part time job, am taking a college graphics art class, and working my regular crazy job, but I have to take art time where I can now and then.

Collagist, book-alterer, assemblagist and any other art form that catches my fancy! I live in a tiny cottage in Northeastern CT with my lovely husband Fred, and my grown son Vaughn. We share an elderly but spry poodle with my mom who lives next door, and we also take care of 6 motley chickens who lay brown, green, blue and pink eggs when and where they feel like it. I'm fond of crows, magical elements, celtic knotwork, crows, celestial imagery, maps and old texts, as well as exotic flowers and nature themes, and did I mention crows?

My favorite things that I like to see around me at home are all small--our house is really tiny, and not much wall space open for hanging things, lots of built-in furniture takes it up. But I like things with celtic knot designs, crows, altered/decorated matchboxes, small boxes, postcards and ATCs, small art dolls/goddess dolls, windchimes, crows, and tiny sparkly sun catchers, inchie charms, and other small charms--I have a hand-made wire charm tree hanging from the ceiling in a corner of my studio. And, crows, crows, crows--I love them!

Recipe swaps--if I'm your partner in a recipe swap, please just print them out on sheets of regular sized paper--I don't have or want a recipe card box. I use a lot of recipes, and have books to put them in! Thanks!

classical, classic rock, celtic

Star Wars (the original), Princess Bride, Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Doctor Who (old and new), House,The Mentalist, CSI--all three, Bones, The Unit, NCIS... Did I mention Torchwood? Very cool, but I've only seen it through Netflix--thank goodness for Netflix!! I'm on season 2 right now!

I miss summer reruns and the new season starting in September!

digital arts, painting, collage, woodworking, ceramics/pottery, silversmithing, ATCs, Matchboxes, etc

Altered and filled Matchboxes, ATCs, stuff like: used canceled stamps, photo swaps, postcards, crows, lists, photo scavenger hunts, collage supplies, tiny papers, etc.

I love all colors in some quantities, but my favorites are all shades of blue and if you add silver, it's perfect! Think the summer sky, and the ocean. Anything sparkly, shiny and rich looking, too. All the metals are good as well, especially copper. Oh, and crows!

Not so fond of cutesy baby pastels or baby colors--I'm a fantasy-loving grown-up with rich taste!

Matchbox templates for making your own from cardstock: at my blog--see link above.

There are also templates for printing ATC backsides further down on the blog.
