I am so excited about finding this website! I love to swap art and look forward to swapping here. I live in North Carolina and love to travel. In fact, there are too many places that I want to travel to-so hopefully I can do some international swaps with people. I love adding paper in other languages to my collages. I am a huge animal fan. I have 2 dogs, and 2 cats currently. We have had mice, rats, fish, and other four legged animals in the past. I am a mother of a college student. Tuition Rates-Yikes. I love art, and crafting. I enjoy painting, wood burning, collage, and mixed media projects. I also dabble in mosaics, ceramics, and anything that grabs my attention at the time. I like to try new things, and new processes for art. I also like to recycle or upcycle items. Finding new uses for old items is fun for me.
I love listening to music-feeling the beat, and letting it take you away. I love tribal drums, ocean sounds, a cello or violin played well. And of course, radio music: Rock, Country, Pop, Oldies. What I listen to depends on my mood. I
Some of my favorite books and stories are childrens books and stories. I also like to read mysteries, supernatural, or crime dramas. I'm not a huge fan of romance books. I do love poetry, cooking, animal, travel, coffee table books. Especially ocean related and wolves.
I enjoy movies and often think a great job for me would be to be a movie critic as I could watch a movie everyday. I like treasure hunting stories like Tomb Raider,The Mummy, National Treasure. Other faves include Lord of the Rings, Twilight series, Da Vinci Code, Stigmata, Copycat, Timeline, Stargate, and many many others. Including kids movies like Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, etc. Favorite actor is probably Leonardo Di Caprio. Actress Sandra Bullock for sweet...Angelina Jolie for kickin butt.
I also enjoy many television shows. My favorite is Whale Wars. Others include: Brothers and Sisters, House, Psych, Supernatural, Grey's Anatomy, Sons of Anarchy, Castle, Medium, Heroes, Fringe, Vampire Diaries, Survivor, Project Runway, Shark Tank, Dark Blue and One life to Live.
Some of my favorite crafts include mixed media crafts, anything with fibers, using fabric, felting. I love hand-made ornaments and will only use handmade ones on my tree. Polymer Clay and Jewelry is high on my list of faves. Things that tell a story or are personal.
I like Steampunk items, Monsters, zombies, ragdolls, horror dolls, mermaids/mermen, pirates, art dolls, rusty metal, assemblages, mixed media, pottery/ceramics, handmade ornaments, fairies, elves, animals, anything ocean/nautical, flowers-especially poppies and bird of paradise, tropical stuff, the ocean, lightning and thunder, lightning bugs, the smell after it rains, music and movies, holidays, food and candy, plants & air plants, texture, fibers, scarves/hats/gloves, purses, jewelry, lip glosses, windchimes, sea turtles and much much more.
Favorite colors include shades of blue thru green, rusty colors, smoky blue, golds, pinks, reds, metals. Actually I can't think of a color I really don't like.
Dislikes: The smell of smoke. Being too hot or too cold-Hawaii temperature is perfect. Fish and stinky foods, especially when someone cooks it in a microwave in a public office. Ants are driving me crazy this year, with anthills everywhere. Rude people. Sour items/sour candy. Socks above the ankle. Cheap perfumes/fragrances that make your eyes tear and throat choke closed.

Hi Angela- Thanks so much for the book! I love it and will have a lot of fun using it in my crafting. Thank you for the wonderful thoughtfulness you put into everything you sent!
wolfeagle: I have known for years that there are many wonderful people in this world, and a lot of them are right here on Swap-bot. Your kind and generous offer to join a group of special angels --- helping me to make and send a total of 210 handmade ornaments for those who were flaked on in the MEGA Christmas 2009 Ornament Swap --- is VERY much appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If I can ever do anything to help you out in return, please let me know. (“;) Hugs, Terry
