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. :)

December 2020- After a hiatus, so much change in 2020 ( pandemic, moving across the country, husband retiring from the Air Force) I'm ready to get back into swapping. I've signed up to Stamps.com to help me stay out of the post office. I've missed swapping!

In August (2020) we moved to San Antonio Texas, from Dayton Ohio. Very stressful moving during a pandemic! I will be resuming swapping, after taking a break from pandemic/packing/moving/unpacking...

My husband is an active duty Air Force JAG, 26 years in the military, But in December of 2020 he will retire. It's going to be strange, we're so used to moving every two or three years.

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: Wow! Thank you!! First, what a a lovely ATC, I really like the colors and textures. So many great extras, so many! The postage was fine, it wasn't short at all, I appreciate the extra stamps inside (I really like the county fair set), I will pay it forward in another swap. Thanks so much!
Response: So happy you liked the ATC I made, and good to know about the postage.

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.

Thank you so very much for the awesome Alamo ornament! It's so colorful and shiny. I love it! It's taken a place of honor on the front of my tree. You were so sweet to think of me and to add to my collection.

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

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!
