Stuff I have made for swaps

About Me

Hobbies: Scrapbooking, Altered Art, Reading, Going to Garage Sales (looking for crap I don't really need), going to auctions (carting home crap my husband hates).

My style: distressed/grungy/vintage...BIG Tim Holtz fan! I am very into vintage luggage....plain, altered, furniture made from it, images of it. Love, love, love old luggage! Also into old cameras with bellows.

Stuff I use in my art- Small vintage findings, old maps, scrapbooking supplies (I hoard them...shhhhh), tin type photos, vintage paper ephemera, Tim Holtz and Ranger products, vintage game pieces, grungy-looking stuff, Skeleton keys, Wizard of Oz stuff, Alice in Wonderland stuff, Rubber stamps w/ weird images (I keep saying I don't need anymore rubber stamps, but then I keep buying them anyway), old book pages, foreign postage stamps, varieties of washi tape, Gorjuss Girls rubber stamps (these conflict with my "I don't like cutesy' stuff, but for some reason I really dig them. I'd have more if they were cheaper), damask print, vintage music sheets.

Fave colors: Brown, Grey, lighter greens, turquoise, teal.

Least fave colors: Purple/Pink/Yellow

Fave food: Anything Chocolate and Jelly Belly Black jellybeans. LOVE those!

Fave Holiday- Halloween! Christmas is a close 2nd. Oh...and I have an addiction to making Easter scrapbook layouts. I have more layouts than I have photos to fill them.

Stuff I do not dig: Stickers, uber-cutesy or girly/flowery stuff, Things that have been in the presence of cigarette smoke, Scented items, Earrings...my ears aren't pierced , Coffee/Tea (but I do like chai), those "Magnolia" girl stamp images (I think they are so ugly), steampunk (Gasp! a Tim Holtz fan that doesn't like steampunk? Surprising, I know. I do like gears though), Kawaii...I kind of like Hello Kitty, but not so much the rest of it (yes...I know my profile pic is an onion with a face, but it's the only onion picture that actually looked recognizable in a teeny, tiny profile thumbnail)

What I already have a ton of and don't need- Ribbons/ Packaged buttons (always collecting more vintage buttons though)

Favorite Music

Eclectic, but no rap, metal, or country.

Billy Joel is a musical genius.

Favorite Books

Mountains Beyond Mountains, Outlander series, Clan of the Cave Bear series

Favorite Movies

While You Were Sleeping, That Thing You Do, Wizard of Oz, Heaven Can Wait,

Favorite Television

Parenthood (can you believe they might cancel it?), Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Castle, Dexter, Storage Wars (my guilty pleasure), Pickers, Auction Hunters

Favorite Crafts

Scrapbooking/Altered Art

Pet Peeves

People who don't know the difference between your and you're. Makes me crazy.........People who say "Libary" (it has another R in it, ya know?).....And I have a lot of driving pet peeves People who drive with their fog lights on when there is no fog......Idiots who just have to pull out in front of me and then go 15 miles under the speed limit.................People who buy a car with killer horsepower and then drive it slower than my grandma on her Hover-round. Complete disregard for the use of turn signals (when did that become ok?)

My Family

I have 5 kids (including a set of twins). They range from age 23 on down to 7. I am married to a veterinarian. He married me when I already had 4 kids...What an idiot, right? We have a pretty laid-back and happy life. We live in the armpit of Nebraska...which lacks excitement, but that's why God created Travelocity...so we could get the heck out of here once in awhile.

Folks who flaked

Flaked on by: 1. @lindar for the scrapbooking swap. I really think something bad happened to her. She was a good swapper I had been paired with before and then she just disappeared. 2. @giramondo for Quick Destash swap (Intl).

Some awesome Angels

  1. Quick de-Stash (Intl): Thanks to both @PJ and @Mello for their generous offers to angel this swap. Since I am in the middle of a major re-do of my craft space (can you say, disaster?), I didn't take them up on it, but surely do appreciate the sweet offers.

Comment: I love it! You did great, for something that you don't really care for - lucky you to get the paper (one of my favourite's is Graphic 45) on a Tim Holz cruise! Thanks so much :)
Response: So glad you liked it. I wasn't sure if I did "steampunk" any kind of right. LOL.

Comment: Stunningly, incandescently perfectly me. If you had walked into my house and said I will make a box that matches this room, you could not have done better. The little extras inside the box are also perfectly me. Now, can you tell me where you hid the spy cam? Words are not enough. Merci beaucoup.
Response: I am so happy to hear you like it and it will fit in with your decor. Your profile is filled out so well...it was like having a spy-cam :)

Comment: got the swap today! thank you so much!! you are very talented at making keychains! you should put them on etsy!! i already have the paris one on my keychain with my keys & other keychains (i have a lot haha) and thank you so much for the distress ink. you didn't have to send that! i appreciate it so much =) i hope to swap with you again.
Response: Glad the package arrived safely and that you like the key chains. I always buy too much Tim stuff and end up with duplicates, so I was happy to find a good home for the Distress Ink. See you around on the swap boards.
