About Me

I've just made an international move so I am going to take a break from Swap-bot as I get settled.

Favorite Crafts

Art journaling is the best! I enjoy lots of other crafts including: crochet, watercolor, scrapbooking (think more junk journal than cute and coordinated), mail art, and ATCs. I really appreciate crafts that incorporate upcycling.

What I like

Most anything goes for me since I think it is fun to get something that a swapper likes to make.

I like all sorts of colors. My favorite patterns are polka-dots and stripes. I am especially into papercrafts and any sort of altered art. I also have a fondness for boxes and little packages of all kinds, such as matchboxes and origami creations. Textiles are also fun and I love anything hand sewn, knitted or crocheted. Last but not least, I am obsessed with words and books, especially in languages that I don't know. I would love to read about your favorite word(s), poetry, and/or book(s).

I am drawn to

Art nouveau glamour like in Agatha Christie's Poirot, ethereal and somewhat gothic figures such as Edward Gorey's illustrations, colorful journaling like Teesha Moore's, and plump people like Botero painted.

Want to make me giddy?

Send me stationery, postcards, ATCs, ephemera, washi tape, or journals.

Comment: Thank you for the Long Beach PC. You say you never been to CA. But you're applying for a job in San Francisco. I wish you luck. As for me, I have been to CA. & in fact lived there in South Gate, CA. for nearly 6 years. I was an Army brat. Happy swapping ~!

Comment: Thanks for the Kentucky Postcard! I've only been through KY a couple of times. The parts I've been through have been very rural. Maybe one day I can take the time to explore as it's not extremely far away.
Response: Thank you for the rating and the heart! Will be sending you another PC soon. :)
