Welcome to my home on Swap-bot.
This is Austin, born Oct '11
This is my husband Joe and Gracie Lu, born Mar '10
I am a middle school art teacher. I have been teaching for the last 12 years-- K thru Adult Ed. I have taught everything from drawing (my specialty) to ceramics, to mixed media, to painting and digital art.
Complete sentences, correct spelling and solid sentence structure are wonderful things. Clear communication, honesty, courage, humility are things I try to imbue my writing with and that I enjoy reading in others' writings.
I enjoy elaboration, sensory writing, tangents, side-notes, footnotes, trivia, interesting facts and anything unique a writer has to offer.
--Life has gotten exceptionally crazy... and has stayed busy-- If you think I am brilliant and am dying for a letter from me, PM me with a very good reason to write you and your address.
I used to mail letters to friends all the time, filled with embarrassing personal tidbits, drawings, rants, raves and mundane daily events. My friends don't write me back anymore.
You won't find long laundry lists of likes, dislikes, favorite cephalopods, or the scents my raccoons prefer. Instead, I try to avoid profile-based swaps. That said, here are a few tuck-ins I will appreciate; tea-- bagged is fine, holy/saint cards, blank PCs, vintage photos, stationery/lettersets, unused postage, recipes & vintage ephemera.
I just started a group, Gastronome and a blog Gastronomy to share my passions for swapping, cooking and blogging. Come join me!
Sometimes I browse the swap listings, and I can't find an appealing swap, so I write my own. Check what I currently have.
My other brain children are the Smart Phone PC swaps. Use your smart phone to create and mail custom postcards. I use Postagram and Touchnote to take my cell phone photos and drawings and turn them into real postcards. Big fun and lots of potential.
Recipe cards, sent naked through the mail are fun, and I am hosting a series of those, too.
Lots of Postcards #2 - International May 18th, 2007. I must have just squeeked under the "Original Member" deadline.
A rating from @qweenoftheworld who is '"partially suspended" at the moment. I am not apologizing, nor am I repentant. I am trying to be a righteous babe and not gloat. But it is really hard. I'd love to get that postie back, it was quite nice.
Dr. Mabuse knows what you are thinking, and he's not telling me. We are not evil geniuses, so let's use the free, instantaneous PM system.
I want to acknowledge @thehurriedmommy for her extraordinary generosity for the Dear Diary angel package she sent me (it was a letter swap and she sent me a huge bag full of goodies!).

Hi back at you! Welcome back to the SB!
Hi Carmen! Thank you so much for your message on my profile. I warms my heart to see others care when other don't. Indeed, this lady did not really understand the meaning of swap-bot I think. I believe barterartistmel (organizer) will angel me, but thank you for offering. If you are up for a private swap, let me know? Take care! Priscilla
Ha! Sounds like a nice proper activity! GB is a certain factor in having good time. I commute a lot to different cities, and usually when I'm about to arrive I play "Oh no" or some other tack of theirs to get me into the mood of "hey this is my city now, let's make this a good day and party!" instead of just "blah here again." Works every time.
