About Me

Hi! I am new here but have swapped for years on many Facebook ATC groups. If you have the choice of what to put on the ATC's you send me I would love anything with birds on it! Any kind of bird really. It can be painted drawn or just a simple stamp ir sticker added to your design. But I love anything that someone takes the time to make! I collect them and buy them from Etsy. I am obsessed. I love to paint and draw birds. I love walking in the trails here to go birding and birdwatching in my own back yard. I love learning about birds also! With the swaps I will send you: I have only swapped here a few times. But I have swapped hundreds of time in my other Facebook swap groups. I always go above and beyond adding little extras for you based on your profile listings of things you like. I love making people smile. So I take a lot of time and care with what I make! I always place your ATC in a resealable plastic sleeve. Also I have been making pretty library pocket to put the ATC, a note from me usually on a little handmade card and any extras I can fit in here! I just love doing swaps. I love taking the time to find out about you and always study profiles and write down things in my swap journal I keep so when I'm out at the craft stores I can pick up beat little things I find there! I stay super organized with that. I always send out what I would like to receive. I do realize that some people are on a budget and can't afford to go nuts like I do. And that's ok! Honestly, when I receive something even if it's just something super simple or way crazy jam packed I just so appreciate that someone took the time to do the best they could to send me something in the mail! I love mail...that isn't a bill. Haha!

I have a sarcastic messed up sense of humor. I don't get offended by many things. Unless it's mean spirited! I welcome all people to be my friend in here! Just recently moving to a new state I am prett isolated. So this is a way for me to stay connected to the world. The old fashioned way I guess. I just love the personal hand written note.

I will always rate you a 5. I figure that you do the best you can! Even if you are a moron and don't read the rules it don't even bother to somewhat care about what you send me I won't rate bad. I may send you a message just to let you know something is wrong. In case you didn't realize it or it's totally not your fault. But I won't rate down. I just can't do that. You never know what goes on in others lives. Plus. It's just paper. You out a stamp on it and managed to mail it. So it's all good. This is me being funny. Anyways... Besides birds....cats, squirrels and little creatures like that. I also am involved in Girl Scouts as a leader. I have one 8 year old daughter. She is a Brownie. So community service related things too. Like things to do with helping others? Keeping out community beautiful. Earth day stuff. I love finding ways to help out around town. Even if it's just carrying a plastic bag with me when we walk to the park and pick up any random litter.

I also love carrying around those little Field Notes books or the Moleskine ones. I like to sketch in them. I love pencils erasers anything to do with painting or drawing. I love stickers too! More to come. I just have been adding paragraphs to my profile when I sit down and have an idea.

Favorite Colors: Teal, Robins Egg Blue, fuschia pink, lime green.

Favorite season Fall

I Love chocolate of all kinds

Hobbies are painting birds and nature with watercolor, sketching with Graphite and Colored pencil. Hiking trails to do nature studies. Journaling, knitting, scrap booking, calligraphy.

I am working on my calligraphy skills. I like to use pointed pens as well as those Pilot Parallel Pens

I LOVE craft supplies. Especially pens, markers, cute pencils and cute erasers. I collected those scented erasers and little fruits and such as a child. I recently started collecting them again whenever I see something on Etsy.

I also love washi tape. I have been building a little collection and am always looking for fun new patterns. I tend to go a little crazy when I am sending out swaps. I love decorating and making by hand the envelopes I send out my swaps in! I tend to over do it! 😂 I also send some sort of little extras with every swap I do. I like sending little embellishments or washi tape sample cards, stickers, the cling stamps that you put on acrylic blocks. I started buying duplicates of those stamps to send as extras in my swaps. Since they easily fit in the emvelopes with my swap creation! I like to spoil the recipients of my little creations!!!

I belong to several ATC swap groups on Facebook). I love swapping and can't wait to get started here!
I will add on to my profile as I look around and explore more on Swapbot to see what other members put on their profile for people to see!

Thank you for swapping with me! I am always open to private swaps. I know the groups on here require members to be at certain rankings to participate in their group swaps. So I am searching for one to join. Message me if you think you would like to do a swap with me. We can decide on a theme and run with it!!!

Kate

Favorite Books

John Steinbeck, Virginia Woolf, Hemingway are just a few of my favorite authors. I have read all of their books and many books about them! I love reading. Classics for collecting on my bookshelf but I always am looking for suggestions on stuff to read. I devour books of just about any kind. I love learning about new things!

Favorite Crafts

Painting with watercolor. Nature studies especialy birds. Sketching and colored pencil work. I've been knitting for about 16 years. I love scrapbooking and creating different themed pages for journals and scrapbooks. I like to make pretty envelopes and stationary.

Comment: Your ATC is so cute! And thanks so much for the teas and blanks. :-)
Response: I'm glad you liked it! I saw on your profile you love tea as I do! I have so many teas I buy that come from England and elsewhere over seas! I love the tins they come in! Sometimes I buy tea just for that! I hope you like the ones I sent. They are pretty basic but I was afraid to send what I really wanted to send because they aren't individually packaged. Just tea bags in the tins! I need to find a tea swap. Surely something like that exists here! I hope we can swap again sometime!!!

Comment: Thanks Kate for the lovely horse atc very is very cute and hard to part with. Thanks for the extra and see you on line. Take care
Response: Yay! You are welcome! I thought he was pretty cute!!! I wish I could remember the name of the sticker set that came in. It was a farm theme I picked up when I made my Fall scrapbook pages for my daughter. I always grab a couple packs of cute ones I find so I can use one and have one as a back up. Now I'm glad I do this! Enjoy him!

Comment: The ATC is adorable and I will definitely write you back! I also do not know how something glittery can be grumpy!
Response: Haha! I'm glad you like it!!!! Heck yes! Write back so I can write back and start using all of this cute stationary paper I've ordered from Etsy! I love sending things out. Random stuff! I have a friend in Germany I am doing that with! Hi SuMay! It's so fun! I love when people agree to write back and play along for my entertainment! Plus it's fun to get something that isn't a bill or junk mail!!! Ok. Talk to you soon!!

Comment: Dear Kate, You poor sausage, I hope you mend soon! Thank you for September in green and copper and for the physics cat! She shall henceforth be known as Lise-Mienze Meitner ("Mienz" is what German cats say, when they are not saying "Miau" or "schnurr"). You know, that package you sent never arrived. What a shame! I suppose it's lost for good, now. Yours, Sonia (SuMay)
Response: What!!!! There is no way! Oh no. I'll ask the hubs for the tracking paper. He has them at work and see what I can discover. I will be so upset if something happened to it! I put Amit of time and cuteness in it. Now I'm worried! Sending things back and forth is so fun! I got your get well post card! I love it! It really made my day! I hung it up here right in front of me with your other things on my inspiration cork board I keep things on. I'm glad you liked the kitty! I thought that would entertain you!! Let me check on that other stuff. I had him take it to the main post office. They give papers with tracking numbers. I'll get that and see what I need to do. It can't be because of postage because they weighed it and everything. I have never had something take this long to get to someone. I'll message you back when we find out what is going on.

Comment: I really enjoyed the little fox you sent and all the extras, but since you sent 2 months late, I have to give you a 3. :( I checked my messages before I gave you this rating. There has never been a message from you and even your profiles doesn't mention your illness or problems. I just found your email in my inbox. I was looking for messages here on this site. I apologize for this mistake.
Response: Ok. Well like I said I was in the hospital and really struggling. There was no way I was able to take care of myself let alone make something. I sent you an email explaining in detail the circumstances, but if you feel that you should give me a low rating I guess I can't worry about it. I did the best I could. I just hope that if I was able to get my swap out to you on time that the contents would have been worth a good rating. Again. I apologize for the lateness but there was literally nothing I could do about it which is why I sent you a message explaining the circumstances. This was the very first swap that I signed up for on here. I just don't know what to say becaus I'm sad that this happened. ***Hi! I saw that you added that you found my email and changed my rating to a 5. I'm so glad you were kind enough to do that! I sent you a message in your inbox with a thank you message as well!!Thank you for understanding the situation I was in and writing to me.

Comment: Thank you so much for the beautiful bird ATC :) I too love using watercolours! I'd love to do a private swap sometime if you're interested :) I don't know how those work (I've never done one) but I'd love to find out :P
Response: Thank you so much for the compliment! I work so hard on my little paintings and the things I send! It really means a lot to me that you left this comment! I'll message you and we can decide on a theme for a swap of some sort that we can do!!😄

Comment: Dear Kate, Thank you. Your fantasy owl makes me smile! His eyes make him look furious but his little feathery belly makes him adorable. I have named him Gremlin. Thanks, too, for the scraps, which will come in useful. I'm not sure about the fish and seaweed. May I reserve judgement until a suitable project turns up? Yours, Sonia (SuMay)
Response: I love that you love him! Haha! He does look a little grumpy though! Maybe he was woken up too early! The little seaweed and fish stickers can totally be re gifted in a swap! I just always little craft embellishment odds and ends that I think people can use! Of course not everyone likes the same things that I do so feel free to send it on to someone else who might be into fish! I love that you named him! That is so funny! Glad my art is getting some love. I really enjoy the swap that we did! I hope there are many more to come! Thank you for the good rating also!
