About Me

I reuse packaging-reduce/reuse/recycle

I'm an old, prune-picker hippie, young at heart who has a great sense of humor, loves to laugh and speak my mind. I wear my hair in two braids and look like a cute, red-headed Indian. I am kept by 2 cats. I am all for peace, sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. I love to craft and make god's eyes, macramé, friendship bracelets, beading, crocheting. I LOVE tie-dye. ANYTHING tie-dye-hankies, socks, shirts, hats, shoes, scarves. I take care of myself and take my vitamins and wear sunscreen. I have 2 grown kids & 3 grands. I'm on a fixed income but can participate in some of the more creative & less expensive swaps. I make beautiful beaded necklaces, bracelets and anklets.

Favorite Music

I like all kinds of music. 60's, 70's, 80's-Especially Rod Stewart, Abba, Neil Diamond, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, easy listening, rock 'n roll.

Favorite Books

Books on tape, The bible, spiritual books, horror stories, autobiographies, historical novels.

Favorite Movies

All- I love tv and all movies especially old movies and English humor. I don't have many dvd's or ever get TO the movies, but watch all the ones they air on tv.

misc

I love yarns, hair ties, toe socks and leg warmers, purses, art supplies, jewelry, fabric paints, embroidery floss, beads/beading, barrettes. I've started knitting and made 2 blankets so far, but knitting aggravates my carpal tunnel in my wrists. I love patches & stickers, peace signs and hippie oriented fun & playful things-bumper stickers. I love meditation tapes. I love beautiful things. I like ocean oriented things- shells and hagstones, feathers & mermaid tears, polished rocks & crystals. I love to wear bright colors and tie-dye tshirts & tights with my chinese slippers and funky socks. I love hats & mittens and anything cozy & warm. I love chocolate, coffee, teas & cocoa. I like most Avon jewelry and clothes, especially the drop waist dresses (L-XL). I love raggedy ann & andy. If you ever find an old shrinking violet doll I WANT IT! LOL!. favorite bumper stickers-

A mind works like a parachute-when fully open

Fat people are harder to kidnap

The moral majority is neither

we are the people are parents warned us about

Grow your own dope-plant a man

Jesus loves you, everyone else thinks you're an asshole

my swaps

My daughter is kind enough to make some of the items for swaps I am in so I can swap something sure to please. She is so good at some of the things I don't even know where to begin to make!

dislikes

I do love patchouli oil but that said, Please nothing scented unless it's natural plant essences/essential oils. Please nothing that smells of cigarette smoke. Thanks!

colors & stuff

I love autumn colors. Oranges, rusts, browns, avo green, yellow. I love spring colors- purple & pink, orange & blue, purple & yellow combos. I love vintage and thrift store scores! Anything handmade! I love homemade handcrafted items.

Comment: My daughter loves the doll you made! It has been her sleeping buddy ever since we received it a few days ago. Thanks! (for some reason swapbot is not letting me give you a heart...maybe it's a computer glitch that will be fixed soon?)
Response: The word is-you have to click on the '5' ratting 2x-twice for the heart option to open(?) Thanks! I'm glad dd likes her!

Comment: Thank you so much for all the wonderful yarns - I LOVE them. :) I will definitely be able to use all of it in my projects. Also the felted pin is adorable, and totally unexpected, did you, or your daughter make it? If she did, please tell her many thanks.
Response: I'm so glad you like and can use the yarn I sent. I was hoping I got the right stuff! Yes, Laura made the felted brooch. I'm glad you like it. I made one felted thing in a swap and didn't get rave reviews so I stick to what i know!

Anyone who mentions foreskin in their profile is definitely meant to be among us sillies. Welcome!

LynnA on Nov 10, 2008:

Oh you are my kind of lady! Let's just swap something and be pals. You name it. I'll send it.

Hey Valleygirl, I'm in the valley too! The SF Valley. Are you a WC valleygirl?

Nice to meetcha!

Hi- I read your message, but wasn't really sure what you wanted me to do about it. You don't need to PM a host to let them know you are leaving a 1.... at any rate, I do believe aerochik will send eventually as she's a pretty good swapper, but how you rate is totally up to you. cat

So glad you liked the bells and other stuff. I had a blast putting it together and bet we'd be buds if we met. Take care!

jeanland on Nov 21, 2007:

Thank you for the Christmas disc's you sent me for the "Holiday Music CD Swap" - I didn't have either one of them, so they have made a great addition to my holiday music collection! And thank you for the notecard too. :)

Yup, we have a Colfax here in NC... It's a quiet, tiny little town that's squeezed inbetween a few major cities. :)

Thanks again! Jean
