HI! I'm Christina and I'm from Southern California!

After a year-long hiatus from Swap-Bot, I am happily opening up my craft kits to get back into this amazing community.


I'm a book lover, a beer/wine/tea drinker and a fan of all things Halloween. I like dinosaurs, monsters and general creepy things. I enjoy camping and being outdoors whenever possible and am always amazed by wildlife. I suppose I'm just a silly gal in her late 20s with a huge case of wanderlust.

I love indie rock as well as some modern folk. Electro-anything is pretty awesome too.

My current favorites include: Murder by Death, Elephant Revival, Bon Iver,The Decemberists, Alt-J and The Civil Wars. but really, I could go on and on and on andonandonandon!

alt

I tend to read mostly fiction, but I enjoy a good non-fic from time to time. I'm not into Romance novels at all

In the last few months I've read:

  • The Wayward Pines Trilogy - Blake Crouch
  • I Am Legend - Richard Matheson
  • Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
  • Lord of the Flies - William Golding
  • Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children - Ransom Riggs
  • And Then There Were None - Agatha Christie

I've been pretty slow about reading lately, but you can find more info about some of my tastes on my Goodreads profile

alt

Mary Poppins. Period! (okay, there are others. But Mary and Bert always get the top spot)

Baz Luhrmann's Romeo+Juliet is a movie I'll love it forever.

Documentaries are usually at the top of my Netflix Queue.

Aside from that, I tend to stick to Netflix. I'm definitely a "serial viewer", so I'll wait until things are up on Hulu or Netflix to watch everything at once.

Arrested Development, Bob's Burgers, Game of Thrones & Portlandia have got to to be at the top of the favorites list.

alt

Crocheting, Papercrafts, Jewelry making, painting and a bit of upcycling/item altering.

I tend to stray away from crafts that won't last or don't have functional or decorative purpose.

I absolutely enjoy baking and cooking for others - there's something special about warming someone's taste buds and tummy, isn't there?

alt

My favorite colors are cool tones, I love Blues and Grays together. All colors really make me happy - brights, darks, neutrals, you name it. However, I will say that my least favorite color to wear is yellow.

alt

  • Chocolate-covered pretzels are amazing! I love sweet/salty things.
  • Cheetos (especially the Flamin' hot kind)!
  • Chocolates and Caramels
  • Violet flavored gum, candies, pastilles, etc!
  • Dried fruits and veggies of all kinds.

I LOVE IT ALL (almost), BUT I'D PROBABLY PASS ON....

  • Orange Jelly slices
  • Wasabi Peas
  • Meat items
  • Chocolate/cherry cordials (too sweet!)

...

alt

  • Halloween themed anything
  • Creepy/scary/horror related items
  • Oddities
  • Masks
  • Old photographs
  • Rings (size 8)
  • Travel related items
  • Dinosaurs
  • Lightweight scarves
  • Cabin/woodsy things
  • Antlers (silhouettes, prints, etc)
  • Lumberjack/Paul Bunyan related things
  • Autumn anything

alt

Alright, I'm going for it... Map Cards, All States, Hopefully I can collect them all!

Really...I like everything. Got a touristy card? Send it! Vintage Card? I want it! Sassy/Offensive/Naughty? Yes Please! Ad Card? Sure - as long as you tell me why you sent it! Zazzle?! YES! I have so many fun zazzle cards, so as long as they're good quality, I'm happy to receive them.

I'd prefer if it was sent naked, written on, dated and stamped, --Unless the swap specifically instructs that cards are to be sent blank in an envelope.

If you can, PLEASE write more than just the swap name on the card. I enjoy reading the messages with every fiber of my being and I will honestly treasure them forever. :)

alt

alt

  • I much prefer tea to coffee, though I still enjoy java!
  • I'm a total LUSH fanatic. I've been using the products for ten years and I use at least one of their items pretty much every day.
  • Make up! I love it. I have way more than I need but it definitely makes me happy.
  • I love trains, airplanes and travel in general.
  • I don't eat anything with hooves or wings.
  • I love jokes and laughing. (I'm not easily offended, so don't worry about sending something a bit tongue-in-cheek)
  • I love lists! A lot
  • I am not religious, but I guess you could say I am spiritual.
  • I try to meditate when possible.
  • Oatmeal is the best breakfast item.
  • I love trying/tasting/experiencing new things.
  • I love the smell of rain.
  • I believe firmly in paying it forward and being kind.

alt

I absolutely appreciate anything you choose to send, but the following things just aren't my cup of tea. Should these items end up coming my way, I'll surely find a nice home for them - they won't go to waste.

  • Anime/Manga
  • Fairies
  • Jasmine or Gunpowder teas
  • Vanilla/cupcake/bakery scented items
  • Precious Moments Collectibles
  • Excessive "Bling" (I try to keep the rhinestones to a minimum)

Comment: I got your resends today. You really didn't have to send two cards just because I don't care for vintage -- I was just happy to receive your cards! I also think I know why the first card didn't get delivered -- you misaddressed the cards by writing "Street" instead of "S" (for south). ;] I'm glad these two got to me! Thanks so much! ♥

There shouldn't be an if it arrives, I paid for two day mail, so she'd get it before her actual birthday, so that kinda stresses me out..
