A lot has changed in my life since first signing up with SwapBot! When I first signed up I was just starting nursing school and looking for any distraction! It didn’t take long for school to take over my life. Sadly I haven't participated in any swaps for years - but now I'm back!!! I am happily done with school and am now working in an Emergency Department, as a nurse ;) I don't feel like my life is any less crazy, but I do have time to do things I enjoy.

I have a TON of fun preparing my swaps and will never flake. I have not had a problem with packages being lost, but please notify me if you feel I haven't swapped correctly or you haven't received your items - I'll happily re-send.

My music collection has been described as "odd" and "interesting". Just like most people what I listen to depends on my mood (apperently my moods vary greatly!!). I love Pandora, I listen to it almost everyday. I love that I can change my station according to my mood. Interestingly, you are only allowed 100 channels - I have had to delete stations many times in order to make room for new interests! My friends give me a hard time about this ;)

My likes and dislikes.......I do prefer quality over quantity. I do lots of paper crafting so anything related to that interests me. -fun papers and interesting papers *vintage *shabby chic *steampunk *hot air balloons *geometric designs *modern floral patterns *typewriters *cameras/photography *blueprints *grungy/textured brick walls *black & white *pages from old books, especially foreign language text *Old music sheets -handmade envelopes -handmade cards -washi tape *black and white *vintage designs *stripes *dots -Vintage ephemera *Tim Holtz *7 Gypsies *tickets of any kind -tags -Old Postage Stamps

Prima Marketing is definitely one of my favorite brands. I love grunge, steampunk & mixed media just as much as layering my trendy Heidi Swapp papers and embellishments.
One of my favorite things about swaps is finding out what things interest other people - so when in doubt, send me something you like!

*Handmade items - I'll take them! I have been crafting for years (I have a serious paper addiction currently!!) and enjoy seeing what others create.

Postcards - I recently went through the collection I have gathered from both swap-bot and postcrossings and honestly forgot how much I love them! I love looking at the different postmarkings, stamps and handwriting styles. I enjoy handmade ones - I have gotten some really cool ones! I will happy to receive "ad" PCs if they are vintage (1970's or older OR international - especially if not written in English language).

Dislikes- Items with strong smells. Perfumes and smoke smells make me feel ill. Religious themed items.

I don't watch movies as much as I use too. When I do watch a movie - it is usually a kids movie! I am a mother of 3 - ages 12, 10 & 4. If you have read the tweet about children watching the same movie 100 times you will understand! When I do get to watch movies, I mostly enjoy independents, action, certian sci-fi, and I almost always enjoy football movies (but I don't enjoy watching "real life" football !?!).

My main past times are sewing/quilting, scrapbooking, hobby photograpy, card making, baking, and cooking. As I said earlier, I currently have a (serious) paper addiction. I love just about all of it!! My papers vary from cool steampunk to very modern graphic designs. I am a HUGE fan of Prima marketing and 7 gypsies. I find myself drawn to clean and simple designs, but love making collage cards with lots of distressing (Tim Holtz style).
