About Me

I have moved many times through the years, but this move has been extreme. Both my husband and I ended up at the ER, him with a broken leg, me with a broken arm/wrist. So in a hurry we got professional movers to help us up. Professional movers who dissapaired with our stuff for six days!!!!! I have just gotten my craftsupply and computer back and working my behind of to make space for a table where I can sit down and catch up with everything. This is such a nightmare. I think my husband thinks I need to be commited right now, absolutely ALL our things where missing, and my biggest complaint these days where: "What about swap-bot, I'm gonna be baned!!" And I swear, that really is a huge consern of mine, but I want you all to know that I am working REALLY hard to catch up now!!! :o)

THERE! My new, and very big mailbox is instaled at the new house, so PLEASE feel free to fill it up! ;o) Your mail will be very welcome! :o) I AM MOVING!!!!! Because the house I am currently living in, wont be here anymore come September 2nd, I figured it would be smart to get out of here ;o) So I am on the move for the next couple of weeks, but keep using the same address. I will change it as soon as I have a mailbox at the new house ;o) My craft supply is the last thing I will pack, and the first I will unpack, so I doubt I will fall behind on any swaps, but if I do I will let you know as soon as I see I will struggle with a deadline! :o)

I am a 35 year old craft-crazy girl, who can't see the meaning of life without some creativety in it. I also love to cook and bake, take pictures, spend time with friends, bowling, air-hockey, writing, take looooong baths, swimming, decorating and lots more. I am married, but still no children. We have several cats, who I love as if they were my children. ;o) I am a huge fan of Eddie Izzard, Jo Brand, John Cleese, Jennifer Saunders and other British comedians. Oh and James May!!!! Love James May!!! ;o) I love Rachael Ray, but can't stand Martha Stewart. Okay, I love her cooking, ideas and everything, but I just can't stand listening to her extravagant vacations, her fantastic houses, her magnificent this, her perfect that.... UGH! Okay, you have money, we get that, enough already!!!! I love to drive, and I am a good driver, put I suck at parking. I love to swim, but never in the ocean, I HATE jellyfish. I don't like silence, and I love the dark. I'm no friend of the sun, I prefer a rainy day. I'm too old to know anything about Justin Bieber, and I am too young to appreciate The Stones. I am a pretty laid-back, happy-go-lucky kind of person, open and honest, compassionate, responsable, domestic and messy. Very messy. As for religion, I am a "wanna-be-Christian" / "semi-Christian". I do what I can to always be good to others (I'm not always too good to myself however) I believe there is a reason for everything, and I believe in a greater power, I just don't know what that greater power is..... My heart goes out to animals and the unfortunate, especially the worse than bad drug addicts, and prostitutes, I vollunteer in a sheter for these people, and it breaks my heart too see how people treat them. I love to learn, I am an eternal student, yet to finsih a degree. I have high hopes and a goal to finish my studies in Art History before I turn 40. If you who reads this is someone who is really good at making collages, and don't mind sharing, please PM me and give me a "crash-course"!!!! ;o)

About ratings :o) I haven't been here more than a few months, but I have already gotten several PM's from swap-partners who are very sad they are a bit behind on their swaps and mail their swaps a little late. To all of you I want to say that I do NOT rate down on a swap mailed a little late, I know too well how a deadline catch up with you! We are only people guys, I know that 99.9% of us here do what we can. :o) I have yet to give a 3 or a 1, and it will take A LOT for me to do that. I love everything I get, because you took your time to sit down and create something unique for me, a total stranger. That efford alone is a five worthy! :o)

As for my swaps. I am here because I love to make things, I live to create. I am not a flaker! If you haven't recived something from me, let me know as soon as possible!!! I will re-send ASAP!

Comment: I hate to do this, because you did PM me, but you said the ATC would be in the mail in a few days. It has been almost a month and I still haven't received anything nor have you been on since Sep. 7. I hope all is OK with you, and I will certainly re-rate if I ever receive anything.

I see you have logged in semi recently. Should you log in again, you should know that when you assigned partners for the Art Journal for Beginners swap and just bailed, you left a big unorganized mess. I'm sure you don't care because you probably got yours, but what you did was shitty. Just thought you should know.

I am so very disappointed. I was so looking forward to receiving some items from Norway in the private swap we had set up. I sent my package in the summer, costing me quite a lot of money really, only to receive NOTHING. Not even an e-mail. Now I see you've never even signed back in, even after receiving the package of your favourites and souvenirs sent to you. Lesson learned...NEVER do a private swap with someone. ;(

iLoveMail on Oct 6, 2011:

Hi - I sent you a message almost 2 weeks ago. Can you please take a look at it when you have time? Thanks :)

Snoskimouse on Oct 3, 2011:

Hope you are well Ren :< I've just been reading all your updates, many hugs from Sal xxx

bluecrayons on Sep 16, 2011:

your bio here says you wont be behind on your swaps but you have some that are way past due. any idea when you will get these out or when you will ever answer a message back?

VivaLaDiane on Aug 10, 2011:

I'm so glad to be in your journal swap and to have you in the AMAZING VivaLaBam swap :D I invited you to my bLackListed group and think we'll be great buddies!!! xo

LizzyJo on Aug 2, 2011:

I just wanted to let you know that my Roses for Norway ATCs are on the way to you. Bless you for coordinating this effort.

FAST Profile Swap!! Yayy so I was completely humbled to read your profile.. mostly because you sound a lot like me and have very similar beliefs.. not to mention your charity/volunteer work in shelters. I admire that. I am too a person who believes that everything happens for a reason.. I also believe in karma (which I kind of got a hint of in your profile) - I am much like you in that I take care of others before I take care of myself.. If someone needs something from me orr asks for a favor I find I am always there and doing something for them before I do something for myself. I am also probably going to be a life-er in terms of education.. I am nearly 22 years old and have 2 degrees under my belt but feel that there will be more up and coming (once I pay off the loans I already owe ahah) I feel that education, even if not used the way it was intended matures you and broadens your mind.. it allows you to experience and understand more in life. do you not agree? Would love to hear from you and learn more about you as you seem a truly selfless and compassionate person.

FAST Profile Comment Swap!!!! Meet new friends!!! Hello Renate! I think it's very admirable of you to volunteer at a shelter. I really feel it is important that we give back as much as we are able to. I live in a rural area of Texas and I see many in need and very few ways to allow them to meet their needs. Thanks for your service to others! Happy Swapping! Kim
