About Me

UPDATE - Because a family medical emergency, I have not been home for most of August and made an awful discovery that has delayed my packages. Please know, I am making every effort to correct this. Owed packages will be sent out as soon as possible.

Hello Swap-bot people. Let me tell you a little about me. I'm currently a SAHM to 4 girls so I'm home all day. To keep myself busy I sew, crochet (luvin amigurumi now), bead and build my photography skills. Growing up Native American, girls are pretty much expected to work/build their sewing and beading skills sooo I was taught by my grandma and mom. So now when someone needs an outfit or a new pair of moccassins they come to me. I do have to say, I would much rather sew and crochet than bead but I still like to do it all.

Hope this new swap-bot experience is as fun as it sounds. Love the thought of reaching out to folks from all over. Nothing better than getting something OTHER THAN a bill in the mailbox.

ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING: I stand by my work and my word. If there's a problem with what I sent, please let me know so we can remedy the problem before a rating is posted. I am new to some things here but am more than willing to learn and take constructive criticism like a woman. ;) If a package does not make it to you then something is definately wrong. PLEASE let me know. I don't want any of my partners to feel like they've been stood up. That would make me sad. :(

Favorite Music

Not to sound cocky or anything but I think I can honestly say I'm a true music lover. Look at my iPod and you'll find Elvis Presley, Andrea Bocelli, Black Eyed Peas, John Denver, Merle Haggard, Ella Fitzgerald, MIA.....etc... It just depends on my mood...studying- Beethoven, cleaning- Beatles. LOOOVVVVEEEE when I discover new tunes especially from other countries. Really dig Pandora Radio because it lets me explore international genres.

Have a new tune suggestion? Feel free to shoot it my way.

Favorite Books

I used to be a die-hard Stephen King fan but now I have ventured out. After becoming permanently scarred when I finished the Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty collection (not really but wow...it was sure different), I softened my selection to books like, Like Water For Chocolate which opened my eyes to other types of literature. If someone tells me that such-n-such books is great, I'll give it a go. If it's not great then, oh well, now I can say so. If it's great, then wow, I have a good one to pass on to my buddies.

Favorite Movies

Okay, so instead of rambling I'll just list SOME of my faves:

  • 50 First Dates
  • Officer and a Gentleman
  • The Teriminal
  • Chocolat
  • Forrest Gump
  • Forgetting Sarah Marshal
  • Under the Tuscan Sun
  • The Proposal
  • Dan In Real Life
  • 4 Weddings and a Funeral
  • Lomesome Dove
  • Fools Rush In
  • Italian Project
  • Bad Boys
  • Mr Beans Vacation

There's a bunch more but I'll quit here.

Likes

I have recently learned that it would help if I listed things I generally like. So here it goes:

  • Scrabble tiles (for jewelry making)
  • Dutch style items- My new love! lol
  • vintage type things (40's, 50's era)
  • pinup anything
  • cute rubber stamps (handmade/store bought)
  • postcards/maps from outside USA
  • bags/purses/coin purses etc - I'm a bag lady!
  • fabric
  • Kawaii/Sanrio
  • Bento boxes/items
  • handbag hardware (snaps, zippers, etc)
  • charms/beads/buttons
  • spices/seasonings
  • sweets
  • Koolaid :)
  • Elvis
  • cows
  • fairies and gnomes
  • dragonflies
  • ladybugs
  • recipes
  • patterns (sewing, crocheting only)
  • scarves
  • dolls
  • artwork (no blood/guts though)
  • green/recycled items
  • jewelry
  • handmade items
  • things for my dog (Rotweiller name Junior)

As for colors...I'll be happy with earthy type colors or bright colors. :) My kitchen is 50's inspired with robin egg blue walls and red accessories then my living room has latte colored walls, brown couches and red, orange, white and black accessories. Anything goes as long as it's not icky 70's pea soup green and shag carpet orange together. lol

Dislikes

I'm a pretty easy going person and really can make anything work. I have 4 girls, so that has made me think of creative ways to use things. There are certain things that I just have to say no to though such as:

  • sour apple/watermelon scented/flavored items
  • things made of super itchy material
  • things with "diva" or "princess" on them

See? Not too hard to get along with.

FYI

I do have a dog so for those of you with allergies to pets you might want to pass on me. Eventhough my crafting area is separate and my dog stays outside most of the time, I would hate to take the chance of sending something.

I can, however, make a purchase outside my home and send directly (depending on the item).

This is a smoke-free home.

I had a really rough Mother's Day weekend and I have to say that the package you sent for the Turtle ATC swap was just the ticket to brighten my mood. You put so much thought and time into preparing everything and I wanted to post here so others could see. If you ever need a reference to join a swap (because you don't have enough ratings or swaps under you belt) send the host/hostess my way! Welcome to SwapBot - I hope to swap again with you in the future!
