Rating and Such

~My ratings are very important to me, they are a reprensentation of my word and I value that highly.~

With that being said please read the rest of my profile, it does get better the farther down you go. Have a wonderful day.

P and S: I Will always send my end of a swap. I've been burned several times already and will not do that to another. If ,IF for any reason it is going to be late I will contact you.
If you don't get something from me in a timely manner, PLEASE contact me I will resend, I want you happy with your experience and I don't want a low rating. Thank you so much, Seren.

OH and this has happened far to many times. IF you are NOT rated, I did NOT get a thing from you. There seems to be a lot of hoopla over rating...

~~PLEASE NOTE:~~

If a swap has been sent from over seas and it is lost in the mail and I believe my partner. ~~I will NOT make them resend, it is far to expensive and I will NOT rate them~~ . It is not their fault that the swap was lost. I will not give them a one if I truely believe them to be honest, I will leave it open. I also contact them and give them opiton to resend or just not be rated...

~~I DO RATE EVERY SWAP I GET...~~ I also rate in a timely manner. If you have not been rated by me, please feel free to contact me. I am a frim believer in communication.

I am human and mistakes do happen. I will let you know if for some reason I rated late.

I am a very good, loving person, I am considerate and am not hard to talk to. I understand life and hardships getting in the way of fun stuff. I understand how things come up. Those who have contacted me I am so thankful for your communication.

Sorry to have to talk about the bad stuff right off the bat, but to be so new and still deal with flakers is just amazing to me. I will stop complaining now. Thank you for reading.

~~Good Karma everyone... Good Karma~~.

I am a midwest girl trapped in Texas. I lived with in 7 miles of my hometown all 40 years I lived in Michigan, 7 years ago I and my two children moved to South East Texas close to the gulf {Corpus Christi} and the border of Mexico. So that my children could have grandparents and family.
Side note: In August of 2012 I and my two children moved to California. Man two cross country moves in one life time. NEVER again.

I love anything vintage and prefer to be surrounded by things that are old... I am new to ATC but am having a great time finding my own way of doing them. All the jewelry I create is vintage things or upcycled. I love to upcycle most anything.

I'm a lover of paper, all kinds of paper. Ephemera is something I collect, I'm not sure what to do with it, but it's a love of mine. I love gemstones and vintage findings.

I've made a living from restoring antique wicker and rush, splint, cane furniture etc... for folks all over .That is my greatest love. I enjoy using my hands and creating.

Favorite Music

I love most all music, but I am partial to Rap, R & B and Opera... OH and I love old school blues. Etta James, Billy Holiday, Howlin Jack Hawkins... when the blues were blue.

Favorite Books

I just love books. I read just about anything, my shelves are brimming with books on nearly every subject.

I am partial to fantasy, you know mystical fantasy.

It's really hard for me to put a list of books or authors. My love ranges from Shakespeare to "Do it yourself" decorating.

More Me Stuff:

Most of all my free time is spent doing some sort of artsy thing with my hands.

I have recently discovered that there are sharpie markers out there. LOLOL who would have thought I would discover the love of them. so now I draw 99% of my envelopes.

My mother passed on to me my love of reading and my father any artistic ability I have. I am pleased to see that both my children love reading and drawing, creating. The creative process is so important to a person, it's not perfect and there is nothing perfect that I create.

It's my hope that what I make will be pleasing to my partner here on swap-bot. I am always looking to improve myself.

I love anything that has to do with nature. I come from a place filled with lakes, ponds, marshes, Trees... I now live in the desert so all the vegetation I have loved my whole life isn't no where around here.

So Trees and nature are very important to me. I have always since I was a child dried flowers, grasses, leaves and gathered things from nature to bring into my home {just to have and look at}. All my ATC are made using foliage of somekind. I have an ongoing journal I have named My "mood journal" it is where I put entries in using only dried foliage, no words save the date. It's all based on nature and the mood I am in.

I have several {unused and abandoned} bird nest I've brought in the house... {laughs} and a few wasp nest too. I love leaves, branches and I have a very nice collection of rocks. All my friends know when on vacation that a really cool prize for me is to get me a rock or crystal.

I collect vintage playing cards. Sometimes I pass some on to swappers. I have a rather large collection. But I just adore them. I have a large collection of fibers, Laces, Ribbons things like that which I use in my journals.

~~I am a self confessed Texture Freak, if it has an interesting "feel" to it, I'm going to love it.~~

I love boxes, I can't tell you why, but I am a box nut. doesn't matter the size or material.. My Sweetheart man just surprised me this morning with a tiny tiny 2x2 in box.. now the smallest I own.

Things I Love

Fixing and upcycling furniture pieces. Finding new purposes for anything to avoid the landfill. {I took a chair and used the backs as places to put my earrings. Pictures in flickr}

Mixing new and vintage things together to create something stunning.

I Love to garden.
Love to grow and create things. It's my saving grace during hard times. Quilting, ATC, Jewelry design, Drawing, Candles, Dried flowers, Gathering Quotes, Vision Boards.

I enjoy making bookmarks I make them using a vintage wire I found one wonderful day. All the book marks I create are OOAK\Limited edition.

Journals: I love journals. I am currently in 5 private journal swaps off of here. They are "Get to know Me, Art Journals" I love doing prompts mixed with art and other fun stuff.

I love and collect all sorts of things. Seaglass... Cast Iron skillets... Cast iron trivets. Chair backs {those with interesting details}... I'm a lover of natural elements, I love Wood, Iron, Earth, Water... in all it's forms.

OHHHH, and if anyone can tell me the smallest scrap you use to make a dottee doll I would so appreciate that. I don't know how to make them {although I have really admired them} but I have tons of fabric I'd like to pass along to dottee makers so if you can give me some idea how much it takes to make one I can start adding that in as something to give to partners.

I may have to add things later. I didn't realize that so many folks want to know your favorite colors. So mine are the colour of a bruise.. No joke, they are... black, Purple, blue, pink.. dark colors... but I seem to be having a love affair with the color red right now.

You know, I am so easy to please and I am thrilled to just have and take part in things. so what ever I am given I am most thankful for. I pass out hearts based on the effort of the swapper. I think art and a persons artistic experession should be rewarded..

Comment: OMG... WOW... I'm speachless. I just received your journal. What an AWESOME & AMAZING piece of art. I just can't believe it. Even my husband (who's usually not really curious about my swaps) wanted to peak in the box. I haven't have time to read it yet and I'm going to do it slow, because I want to enjoy every page of it. Thanks again for this great swap. Hugs. =D

Comment: I am awed at the technique you used! Very Unique! I love weeping willows! My neighbor had one for years until a storm a few years back damaged it, and it had to be cut down. I am so glad to have received this one! Thank You so much. And also thank you for all the extra's you sent! The stamps and fabric were greatly appreciated! Teresa
Response: You are welcom Teresa, I'm so thrilled you loved the weeping willow. I'm glad you liked how I made it too. I have three other types of trees I make. I just love making them, you've been a great partner to create for. Thank you for my heart. Blessings.
