Just getting acquainted with calligraphy, knitting, scrap booking in the smashbook or project life style. Also really enjoying the decorative envelope swaps and looking forward to participating once I build up my craft stash.

Anything for my Midori's (charms, page flags etc) Favorite Quotes A note about where you live/ your day Anything that makes you happy that you'd like to share.

I really adore swapping with others, unless the swap is profile based I strive to prep my gifts in advance & send them out the day partners are assigned. If the swap is profile based I do my best to send items that will suit your personal tastes & brighten your day. Not expressing dislikes: the way I view this lovely hobby is that half the fun is seeing what someone else enjoys/ would like to share with you. All I ask is that items be in gift-able condition new or used doesn't matter to me in the slightest. I also make a point to rate as soon as I receive items and usually always give hearts if effort has been put into the swap. If you fail to receive your swap please, please let me know and I will gladly re-send. The reason I love this is for the opportunity to add some fun to your day, I'm not a flake, if I cannot meet the swap requirements or deadlines I will not sign up ^_~ I'm happy to work with you if I don't receive your items and will gladly re-rate once the item has arrived. I hope that you will also share these levels of kindness/ politeness with me.

I'm a huge, huge tea drinker! I like all classes (green, white, yellow, black, rooibos, herbal) very keen to try more puerh teas. Darjeeling, Chai & Earl Grey are my favorites along with Harney & Sons Paris. Something in the oils that flavor most peach & apricot black teas doesn't sit welll with my palate but I'm happy to try any other blends you'd like to share.
