About Me:

I have been a member for almost 8 years now. I entered into the journal books and after getting flaked on in those swaps I quit doing them. I had at least 3 or 4 of them circulating. I then went to the smaller deco books because of postage cost maybe being the reason I was not getting any back. I must have about 6 deco books out there now. I have NEVER gotten a single one of my books back in all this time. I usually only have 6 to 8 pages to be done and the themes were very simple. I don't understand why people are hanging onto these because I put a lot of work into mine and would like to at least see the result of my efforts or anyone else's.

I love just about all handmade/homemade things. I like making and collecting the little matchboxes I found on Swap-bot when I first joined, they are so much fun to make and get. I also like to learn new techniques and crafts that I have not tried before. I love anything crafty or to do with crafts and sewing. I enjoy gardening and growing beautiful flowers and try to grow a few vegetables. I am a retired, 30 years plus,seamstress. I worked numerous jobs, from a factory making women's and children's clothing, sewing seat covers for Chrysler Motors and doing Military sewing for 20 years at the Selfridge Air National Guard Base. I have 4 grown children, 3 boys and 1 daughter. I have been blessed with 4 grand children, 2 boys and 2 girls. I have 1 pet. A 13 yr. old Persian.. He is my cuddle bug fur baby! Family & Pets are my first loves!

Favorite.....

Television:

Wheel of Fortune and Dateline. I also like documentaries and true stories.

Movies:

I'm a sucker for tear jerker's and love stories. Out of Africa, Pretty Woman, Message in a bottle and Titantic to mention a few. Never get tired of the Wizard of Oz!

Music:

Good ole' Rock & Roll, hymns and Christian music (do not send), some country, some jazz and classical.

Books:

I read a lot when I am in the mood (have to be in the mood). History, Mystery, Trilogy, some True Story and Biography and, of course, all kinds of crafting books or magazines.

Color:

Shades of Lavender and purples but I am fond of all colors primary and pastels.

My Favorite Crafts:

I love:

Making envelopes

Crocheting

Sewing

Knitting

Matchbox's

Pocket Letters

Baking

ATC making

Paper Crafting

Beading

Embossing

Scrapbooking

Photography

Handmade Cards and items.

Anything handmade/homemade,

I collect the Disney and the Legends of Hollywood Stamps, McDonald's Barbie's and Madam Alexander doll toys. I save all kinds of items to make ATC's with. I have a collection of over 30 Shirley Temple Movies and some Disney Movies. I also save canceled postage stamps.

I like

Fairy's, birds, butterflies, dragonflies, angels, baby animals, flowers or anything floral, fabric, beads and beading, lace, glitz and glamour items, Mary Engelbreit, Hello Kitty, rubber and clear stamps. I am fond of vintage photos and items. Anything for ATC's or handmade cards and crafts.

I dislike

I am not a fan of pagan, goth, vampires or any satanistic based beliefs or decor. I don't care to get into any discussions of my religious beliefs or politics with others or have literature sent to me. Nothing that smells of smoke. I love jewelry but cannot wear much of it because of a metals allergy, I do wear some on ropes or ribbons but even the little clasps will cause me to break out after time.

My Favorite Foods

I like all fruits and vegetables, especially fresh. I eat very little meat but I love all kinds of Lake Fish. I also like nuts, brazil and macadamia are my favorite but cannot turn any down. I like my coffee in the morning and am also a tea drinker, hot or iced, not sweet, but with a dash lemon. I can not eat any dairy since cancer surgery 14 yrs. ago left me lactose intolerant. Update: I can only have decaffeinated beverages for now (Doc's orders) because of stomach ulcer.

My Wishlist

Inks or ink pads

Pens - Sakura preferred

Stamps - clear or rubber

Stickles

Punched or Die cut items

ATC ephemera

Unusual canceled postage stamps

Vintage - anything

Lace & Ribbons

Papers

Charms

Beads or beading

Comment: Wow! I'm really blown away by how much effort you put into this swap! I love the little envelopes. Thanks for the nice assortment of punchies!
Response: I like to have things organized so by keeping my punchies in little envelopes makes it easier to find what I am looking for. I use the little clear bags also, helps keep them all together. Thank you for heart and rating.

Comment: Thanks for the deco and flower seeds. At least you got me for a partner on a swap you already had to make a new deco for. We have several 'new' people who are swapping in the group so hopefully you will get some of them in future swaps.
Response: I kinda hate making new ones because I have so many out there and have never had any returned. Thanks anyway and for the fabulous rating!
