Happy Day! Hello 2024! I am enjoying some slow times in the first part of the year, and feeling very creative!

Please message me if you have not received a swap from me, I always send my swaps out on time. I also rate promptly, so if you have not received a rating from me, I have not received your swap.

Hi! My name is Aimee and I live in the small coastal town of Beaufort, North Carolina with my Husband and three four-legged kids. I have lived most of my life by the beach and love all things about it. I work at an Aquarium full time and my hobby is my part time job. I am a upcycle artist and sell at our local farmer's market.

Things I love:

My pets: English Bull, Great Dane, & South American Red Foot Tortoise (all rescues). Art, Crafting, Upcycling, Vintage, Thrift Shops, Vegetables, Wine, Friends, Bike rides, & Snail Mail

Punk, 70’s, 80's, 90's, Alternative, Pop Punk, Girl Power, Classical, Beach Music, Oldies... I like almost any music.

Napoleon Dynamite, Shag, Harold & Kumar, Hunt for Red October, Pretty in Pink, 16 Candles, Clockwatchers, and many more.

I make jewelry and other things out of upcycled materials. I love to do anything art or craft related!

Anything I make that has a reused element on it will have a green recycle symbol on the back so you will know.

My current art addiction is Artist Trading Cards. I like to do small watercolor paintings on them. My collection is growing and I am always up for ATC swaps. See my Flickr link above to see some of the ATC's I have made.

I really enjoying watching the original shows by Hulu, Netflix, & Prime.

I appreciate anything that is sent to me. I prefer not to receive Disney items, but if they are sent to me I will pass on to someone who will enjoy them.

Vintage books, jewelry findings, beads, papers, mini envelopes, washi tape samples on playing cards, space theme postage stamps, ATC's, ATC blanks and background papers, vintage ephemera, note cards, postcards, die cuts, gelli prints, anything handmade, teas of any flavor (I am up for trying anything once), rubber/acrylic stamped images on different papers.
