Kittybob83

Hi, my name is Heather. I live in West Virginia with my boyfriend, our 10 year old daughter, and our kitties. My favorite thing to do in life is craft with paper. My most recent obsession is junk journaling and anything old. I have always wanted to do something like this and Its pretty awesome so far. I dont have anyone In real life to share my crafty stuff with, and I'm not really into social media anymore. This so far has been a great motivation. I've been a little blocked creatively lately, even with all this time at home.

Junk journals and everything that goes with it. Dying paper, making ephemera.

I also love happy planners, bullet journals, travelers notebooks.

I love stamping, inking, painting with watercolors and acrylics, calligraphy.

Sewing.

I haven't read much lately because I have a hard time picking books right now. But I love bios or memoirs mostly of old time mobsters I like things like Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and Handmaids tale. My all time favorite is She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. I also like easy reads like VC Andrew's, and Candace Bushnell.

The Handmaids Tale, Good Girls, The Good Doctor, Greys Anatomy, Nurse Jackie. Trailer Park Boys. Harlots. Boardwalk empire. I watch a lot of Hulu, Netflix and Prime.

I love handmade things.

I like weird things, and I love vulgar language! I would never send any, but I dont mind getting it.

Used tea bags, that are empty. Napkins, tissue paper

Embossed paper, I dont have a machine

I like a wide range of colors, I'm not picky. But i dont craft with neon colors.

Dislikes:

I'm going to say it. I dont like tea. It seems like everyone here does, I just dont. Only to dye paper

Not a big coffee drinker either. I do like monster java, and Christmas (mint) cappuccino from speedway..

I dont like children's stickers or neon colors.

I dont like loose glitter, or overly glittered thing... pearl powders and the like are ok.

Old gangster movies, documentaries, 80's movies my mom watched when I was a kid, comedy, anything with Melissa McCarthy, anything by Quentin Tarantino. I will watch anything really. I always have something playing in the background.

I just want to say, that i will always send my swaps on time. I will always rate the day i get them. Please rate me so that i know you have received what i sent! If you happen to not recieve something from me, please let me know. If i make any kind of mistake please let me know, im more than willing to fix it! I have never enjoyed a hobby like im enjoying this! I have gotten some of the most beautiful and useful things. Im very easy to please and i take what i do seriously and i put a lot of thought into what im sending.

Please do not send dirty things.

If you need an idea of what i can use this is it...all things above in the likes and dislikes, but this is what i either dont have or would like to get

Blank postcards old or new, i have so few, but love sending them. I can't find them anywhere but online

Paper flowers homemade is always best but im not picky

Embossing powders... im new to this, i only have 1 color lol

Coffee/tea stained paper i love other peoples more than my own

Used, empty teabags

Doilies paper or fabric

A vintage flashcard, i really like them

Die cuts that you made

Eyelash trim

Embossed papers. I dont have a machine

Stamped images, literally just your stamps on paper

And anything you make that you think would look good in my journal. I like seeing other peoples art and papers, ive started a journal with everything im being sent, its almost full and its my favorite so far!

I'm very new to collecting postcards. But some of the things I like are... i hope this is a legit list. I'm still learning about what I like.

Cats

Dogs and other animals

Botanical

Old ones with people on them, photography and other if that makes sense...

Victorian women, or couples

Vintage valentines, Easter and Christmas

Vintage funny or newer funny

Old casinos, motels, or desert land

Sea creatures, ocean images

Old ships

Old New York or Italy

Weird ones, by that I mean possible bad language, odd photos anything.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some, and I honestly like everything, but if I'm going to collect them I'm starting there. I dont have many blank ones right now, mostly ones from swaps and a box set I bought, and they just aren't the same. So if you want to unload some you don't like anymore, I'll take them.
