About Me

I am new to swap-bot (again) and am so excited I found this site! I am online all the time, and I really miss getting snail mail. I think this is a great way to take some time and really connect with people. I had done a bunch of swaps in 2010... then I got married...then I switched jobs.. then moved from NC to ME... started my own photography business... and have had two other jobs in between :) SO I have been busy- but now that I am settling in to my first cold Maine winter in the last 5 years I need to do something fun again... enter Swap-Bot!

I love to make crafts, sew, design, decorate, read and write and lots of other things! You name it and I will try it!

I really love writing and while the task of writing a book seems daunting, blogging is a great way to write something short and have it feel complete! I also have become fanatical about reading a few favorite blogs- most having to do with crafts, design and photography. I love all the inspiration I get from these blogs.

A bit about me and what I like: I am a lot a bit preppy (love pinks and greens, polka dots and stripes), a little bit romantic (I love damasks and frilly romantic accessories), a part pirate (I love the ocean and pirate lure) and a bit of a fish (I love the ocean and everything in it or having to do with it!)

I love to travel and hope that I have lots of travels in my future. I love to cook as well and enjoy trying make cuisine from other continents. But mostly I just love to cook and try new things!

Favorite Music

I really love pretty much all music, although I am not a huge fan of country or punkish sort of music. I adore my iPod. I don't know if I could survive without it!

Favorite Crafts

I love to paint, sew, use Mod Podge, draw and doodle... I have a whole folder bookmarked on my computer of things I want to make... it takes up a lot of space! It will also probably take me years! :)
