About Me

My name is Carrie. I am in my late 20's, a full time student and house-fiance. Me and my Fiance are HS sweethearts, just celebrated out 12 yr anniversary, and he is the one of the greatest men ever! My fiance is an artsy person (not crafty) so he understands my obsessions (since crafting is art!). We have one dog, Frisco, who is 3 years old (human yrs). I consider myself very open to people and there different ways of being. I feel respect is very important but I do not take offense to most things- ie.. dirty jokes or cursing (but everything has a time and place). I am a balance of girly girl and tom boy even if my profile makes it seem like i'm super girly! I am pretty easy going and will try any craft once, when given the chance. I am very easy going and really like anything. My profile my seem picky but I really ain't. I also love to listen to music, watch movies, play board games and video games. I am new to swapping but I do my best to take careful consideration with my swaps and make things personal. I promise not to just slap it together and send it. :). I plan to do more reading this summer since I haven't read anything freely since school started. Any suggestions? I do not like horror type stories or movies and nothing really sci-fi. My obsessions are scrapbooking, jewelry making (charm/photo charm bracelets and rosaries), Make up and Nails (natural/ Japanese kawaii/ Gel)! I also love to bake and decorate cakes and sew. But I enjoy anything crafty and hands on. I am very open to trying new crafts and any advice and tips you may have to share with me on ANYTHING!

Hi Carrie, I am here leaving a comment swap: WOW, you sure are a busy and talented young woman, best to know cooking and sewing, then time for other talents...recycling jewelry is fun , I go to goodwill and use on my cards. I see you scrapbook and make cards, that takes lots of time....If there is a card swap maybe we will be partners...always keep on keeping on in your quest to learn more......nice to meet you, Susieq40

Hello ! I'm coming from the "leave a comment" swap^^ I'm pretty new to swaps at all, but I can't wait to get stated =D

I see you like Matryoshkas, I love them too, they are so cute and so well-crafted ♥

Do you ever take pics of the cake you decorate? I love decorated cakes!

Hope you have a nice day and will have great swaps in the future :3

Nice profile. Thriftstone Find 17 welcomes you and please not that the send date is this Friday the 17th. If you already sent please mark it that way and I hope you have received yours from your swapper. I generally notify my swappers a couple of days in advance because things get hectic for everyone.
