About Me

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

Please rate me for the swap I make and send, not any extras I may tuck in. Thank you. :)

My husband is an active duty Air Force JAG, 26 years in the military, but 2020 is the year we retire. It's going to be weird.

We move often, right now we are in Ohio, but we will retire somewhere else. It will be strange to stop moving around.

Favorite Crafts

I enjoy mixed media type art. I've started working more with paints, and inks. I love gelli printing!!!

Mostly I make ATCs, Artist Trading Coins, Inchies, Twinchies, Tags, Small Books, Matchboxes etc.

I don't have a ton of "Likes" to list, really, I am sure I will love whatever you send me. I value your creativity. I want to see what you like, the colors and ideas you have.

That being said, to make it easier for you in case of a profile specific swap, here is a list-

Pink, yellows, greens, Halloween, Dina Wakley style art, birds, Alfred Hitchcock, Vinyl records, leftover paper bits, Tim Holtz, 60's retro/psychedelia, tissue paper, deli paper, stencils, cookies, the color black, and my sweet, sweet dog, Pepper. He's a puggle.

And for any future Halloween swaps I may join-

I love creepy, scary, 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 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.

BUT, I am easy going and easy to please. This list is REALLY 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.

Favorite Music

I got a turntable a couple of years ago, I love collecting records! I love Joy Division, Son House, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, REM, Bob Dylan, Dinosaur Jr., The Handsome Family, and on and on..

Comment: Ohhhhh, Cynthia! One of my neighbors actually received this package, and AFTER OPENING IT, took it to the apartment office so it could be returned to me. I have to say, your inchies are exquisite. They make me determined to try something new with my own inchies...the lovely dimension of them is fabulous! They are treasures, for sure. Now, I'd like to address the tin full of sweet extras: I am blown away! It's like a treasure chest! So, so many little amazements to play with! I know it's not enough to simply say "thank you"...but truly, from the bottom of my heart, I DO thank you! And when you said you've been an admirer of my work...what a wonderful compliment! If you could see some of the stuff I sent out in my early swapping days, you would laugh and/or gasp with horror! xoxo!
Response: You're welcome, Donetta, thank you for your comments, they are special to me. I love trying to make something nice for my swaps, and i'm really happy you liked the inchies I made. I know you'll put everything I sent to good use! And, I hear you about early swapping days, we could laugh together!

Comment: I don't even know where to begin! So much inspiration, including the presentation and packaging! I'm using it all - don't know how or when for everything yet but it will all be appreciated in some way! Thank you!
Response: Good! I'm very happy you like the papers I picked out! I wanted to bundle up the papers in a prettier way, on their own they seemed a bit boring.

Comment: Cynthia: If I could give you 10 hearts I would! Your inspiration packet is just incredible. I love all the papers you chose and the vintage ephemera are all the kinds of things I love. Such a wonderful collection of trims and ribbons and beautiful vintage buttons and pins. And the box you packaged it all in was so well done - can you tell me who made the wonderful papers you used on it? I love them! Thank you so much for just a brilliant swap - I love it all!
Response: Yay, so glad you liked everything! I had so much fun putting that together. The script paper on the box is from Canvas Corp. 2017, Chocolate and Ivory French Script ccp2274, but I don't even know where I got it. The blue lattice paper is from Hobby Lobby, some small paper pad of theirs. And the blue circle paper is just a magazine page. Hope that helps! Thank you for the comments, and the rating!

Comment: Ooooooh! I love how your ATC turned out! It looks like the sky with that perfect little city scape below. It is wonderful and you have given me some ideas for when I make mine. :) I am also obsessed with that envie you made using the bottom of a paper bag! How ingenious! I will definitely be using the extra backgrounds. Thank you so very much for sharing your creativity with me!
Response: Very happy that you like the ATC. I'm new to stencil smooshing, but I love how the colors blend together. Thank you very much for your comments, and the rating!

Hello to you! I hope your holidays were lovely, and that the new year has started out well for you and yours :)

spotteddogs on Jan 20, 2020:

So nice to hear from you Cynthia! Hope all is well with you, too. I admire your goal of reaching out more and I understand staying in the background (it’s a natural state for me). I think I will do the same - a good and realistic goal for 2020!
