About Me

Currently on hiatus. Life is way too busy right now. (dec 2023)

I'm an ICU RN in Minnesota. Dog Mom. Grandma. Wildly inappropriate (at appropriate times).

I always send, and I will communicate if I need to send late (it's only happened once).

I click "sent" when I put items in the mailbox at the post office.

Wishlist

(Don't stress, I enjoy pretty much everything that isn't on my 'dislikes' list). That said, I prefer thoughtfully created items rather than a lot of 'extras'.

Krampus, imps, dark elves, demons, and generally all spooky creatures. Gargoyles/grotesques, skulls/skeletons and anatomic images and illustrations. Vintage horror and Sci-Fi. Grown-up Gothic aesthetic, Steampunk, and Victorian. Celtic, Nordic/Icelandic.
Feminist art, protest art, advertising art. Subversive art.

Handmade postcards, ATCs and ATCoins (not 'sticker slapped', any media).

Vintage nurses, especially WWII era

COOKIE MONSTER!!!! Oscar, Grover, Yip Yips, Kermit, Animal, Beaker, the Swedish Chef

Mr. Rogers

Female Villains, including Disney.

Stained glass windows, especially geometric and non-religious.

Dark purple, jewel tones.

Quality over quantity.

Halloween (grown-up, not childish),

Photography.

Swearing. You will not offend me with the "F-bomb". Same with risque or 'naughty' images (just not flat-out pornography please)

Dragonflies, seahorses, hedgehogs

Catahoulas, Corgis, Golden Retrievers (All my fur friends were rescues)

Public broadcasting (tv and radio)

International travel (I miss it so much!)

Fountain pens, dip pens, and pretty ink. (I gravitate towards dark purples) Wax seals. Making my own ink from plants.

Art and Art History, especially European Renaissance, Icelandic and Nordic, Roman and pre-Roman, Islamic, African and African-American, and all things Expressionist. Vintage and historical erotic images. Historical nurse/medical art/posters, Eco- and 'green' living, repurposing and upcycling

Whisky, whiskey, and Scotch. (Yet, I've never been drunk. Go figure.)

Modern/urban homesteading. Food preservation. Baking, cooking, candy-making. Kitchen alchemy.

Favorite Crafts

Favorite crafts to do:

Collage, ATCards/coins, handmade postcards, and other mini works of art, useful items, Aromatherapy items, Jewelry, Sewing/quilting, Amigurumi (both knit and crochet), Challenges that make me 'think outside the box', Recycled items into crafts, Origami and other folded/manipulated paper crafts

Working on my watercolor skills (watercolor has always vexed me... I will eventually conquer it)

Favorite Movies, Music, Media

Most musicals. Most local theater. Some national productions (when I'm lucky enough to go)

Movies/TV: Killing Eve, Outlander, Dexter, Counterpart, Dark, Foreign movies, Good (and bad) Vampire movies, Great British Baking Show, Monty Python, satire, and dark humor. Sci-fi, dystopian, and post-apocalyptic. Stupid funny (i.e. Big Mouth, Bad Santa, etc)

Music: my tastes run the spectrum.

Please Don't Send:

Dislikes:

"Cute" or childish items, 'kawaii', and the like.

Overly 'girly' items (specifically requested for my daughter or granddaughter). Loose glitter and 'sparkles' (please be sure nothing 'sheds' glitter, seal that stuff up well!).

Racism, hate, Science denial.

Makeup/bath/body products (skin is too sensitive, fragrances often give me migraines)

Tea, coffee, and food. (I like the packaging, but I'm picky about what I eat/drink)

Bootlegged items (please respect copyright)

Anything that smells of smoke, (Illicit) drug or pot imagery

NO religious or political themes (unless the swap is specifically for them), tracts, and the like.

Comment: I'm looking up "dendritic printing" as we speak - looks like a fun technique. You sent this on my b-day - how kind of you, lol. Hope it's still beautiful where you are. It's raining cats and dogs here (river watch rain). Thanks for your nice note!

Comment: HI Elean! Love your PC - cool image and I love how you decorated and embellished the background - what techniques did you use? Thx again and see ya around the postbox. Tama
Response: I think the background was rubber stamped/embossed then watercolor. That seems my theme lately.
