Annabelle

I'm a somewhat quirky, crafty girl from Portland, OR. I turned 31 this year, so I guess I'm in my thirties. How did that happen? I love random surprises, giving and receiving. Hiding plastic farm animals for others to find is a favorite pastime. I've written 3 little zines recently. Postcardx is super fun!

ephemera, polaroids, photobooth photos, any odd photos, zines, striped socks, tiny plastic animals- especially farm animals, mail!, autumn, paper, doodles, sketches, haiku, kawaii- tare panda is my favorite- see more kawaii info below, decaf and herbal tea (I'm currently looking for some kind of decaf tea with jasmine), tea bag tags, decaf coffee, buttons- the kind you pin on and the kind on clothes, glass and metal beads, vegan recipes, favorite color: green, favorite color combo: light to medium green and blue- like the ocean, I like all colors though, mix cds, classic atari games, board games, card games, foreign coins, crafty stuff, postage stamps-new and used, beach glass, natural items- leaves, lichen, rocks, etc, snoopy, sheep, chickens, monkeys, stationery, pug dogs, vw vans, stickers, bits and pieces, odds and ends...

Pottery, collage, any paper craft, mail art, photography, drawing, crocheting, knitting (I'm an amateur), sewing, a little jewelry making, mixed media stuff... I have thoughts of doing art installation stuff, maybe with a group of people, Andy Goldsworthy'ish things and maybe some more urban type stuff.

...be sure to visit Sushi Takahashi and Ground Kontrol. Conveniently located just a couple blocks from each other. What could be better than an evening of vegan sushi from the train and video games!

There are just a few things I wouldn't really like to receive: Candy or other food, I have some pretty specific eating habits, no sugar, vegan, etc. Lotions, lip gloss, soap, and other stuff like that. My ears aren't pierced, so I can't use earrings. I don't really like disney or diddle. Otherwise, I probably will love anything you send!

I love stamps! Please use actual stamps when sending stuff to me, if you can, not a printed postage machine label.

Zines. Handmade stuffies. ATCs. Polaroids. Penpal letters.

I love tare panda! If you have any extra tare panda stationery, stickers, etc. that you would like to trade for something, let me know.

I like just about any kawaii, but here are a few others that I like almost as much as tare panda: monokuruo boo, mamegoma, food with faces, chococat, vintage (or vintage looking) hello kitty, superhero hello kitty and those little cats that have a food item for their body. I love snoopy (and woodstock) too, even though he isn't kawaii :^) The only kawaii things I don't like are the real animal photos, diddle and disney.

snoopy stationary- letter sets or memo sheets (any size)

superhero hello kitty lettersets or large memo sheets
