SWAPPING PHILOSOPHY and PERSONAL STUFF

I rate. It completes the swapping transaction, and it's just the right thing to do. I also believe in rating fairly. I like to send a few extras with my swaps, if I have something I think you'd like, and you have no objections. I always check profiles for that info. I love reading your profiles, and I really like the idea of paying forward something you might use in a future swap.

I give out hearts for the swap you send, not the extras.

Please don't ever feel obligated to give me a heart. Please rate me for the swap I make and send, not any extras I may tuck in. Thank you. :)

I was born in California but grew up in Memphis Tennessee. I have three grown children.

My husband, John, is in the Air Force and we move often, every 2 or 3 years. We recently moved back to the states from Germany. ( summer 2016)

I am a non-smoker. I like to garden and read and I love movies. I believe in ghosts and I love anything Halloween.

I like to do paper crafts. ATCs, Inchies, Twinchies, Tags, Bookmarks, Small Books, Matchboxes etc.

Here is my "LIKES" list, although, really, I am sure I will love whatever you send me. I value your creativity.

• My favorite styles/themes are- Vintage, Retro, Tim Holtz, Dark and Creepy.

• Not into Victorian. Ric-rac, yes. Lace, not so much.

• Almost any color works for me but I am not a fan of neon bright colors. I love pink.

  I really, really love Halloween!

For any future Halloween swaps I may join-

I love creepy, scary, vintage-y, glittery, dark-old-house, Halloween stuff. Any time of year. I can always use Halloween themed craft items. I keep my supplies out year round. I love the old Universal Monster films, and old horror films in general. Classic black cats, bats, and witches.

I definitely have a dark side, and besides Halloween, I love old murder cases and mysteries, such as-

Jack-the Ripper, Lizzie Borden, the Villisca Iowa Ax Murders, The Texarkana Moonlight Murders, etc.

• I like old ribbon, buttons, sewing trims and notions.
• Old book pages, ephemera.
• Vintage and interesting postcards, ad cards.
• Die-cuts.
• Anything I can use in paper crafting having something to do with my themes/likes. Hitchcock, Halloween, Lizzie Borden etc.
• I like birds, toadstools, gnomes, Paris, werewolves, New Orleans, owls, bits of old hat veiling.

So, if you need to send something to me (supplies) or make something for me (inchies, ATC etc), any of the above will make me very happy. BUT, I am really easy going and easy to please. This list is only to give you some ideas in case of profile specific swaps.

As for "DISLIKES" - I don't really care for Kawaii or anything child-oriented. I don't offend easily, so, no worries there, and I like receiving religious items, especially Catholic items.

I love movies- I have a pretty good collection of Hitchcock films, and many, many, many horror movies, old and new. I also like some older foreign films and classics.

I love Joy Division, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Bishop Allen, REM, Bob Dylan, The Clash, Dinosaur Jr., Hot Hot Heat, The Handsome Family, Arcade Fire. Etc...
