About Me

My 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. I'm always excited to see what you've made, or the swap you've put together. Extras are appreciated, but not required.

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

My husband retired (December 2020) from the Air Force after 26 years. We have settled in San Antonio for now, and it's so lovely spending time with family, finally!

Favorite Crafts

I'm really enjoying 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. Paper crafts.

I also like to join swaps for inspiration kits, or supply kits.

I love being inspired by my swap partner, I love seeing what you create, and encourage you to make what you love, use the colors you love, although I am adding a list of likes, and dislikes, in case of a profile specific swap.

But! I am not picky, at all.

THEMES/STYLES-

Mixed Media/Collage.

Gelli printed.

Retro/50's 60's 70's.

Halloween (not too cute, I love spooky, dark things) any time of year.

Dina Wakley.

Tim Holtz.

Bold Graphics/Colors.

LIST OF RANDOM STUFF I LIKE-

Old buttons, hat veiling bits, rhinestones, glitter.

Birds, elves, mushrooms, leaves.

Green, blue, black, pink, yellow.

Matchboxes, any tiny boxes, I love tiny things.

FOR POSTCARD SWAPS-

Really, anything. I love ad cards, too. I'm not picky, and don't mind if they're sent in an envelope or naked.

HALLOWEEN SWAPS-

Retro, Classic, Haunted House, Dark, Spooky.

Bats, cats, ghosts, Hammer Horror, Universal Horror. 80's slashers, and Elevated Horror.

I like Halloween themed matchboxes, inchies, tags.

CHRISTMAS SWAPS-

Brighter colors.

I grew up in the 70's, when we had hot pink, olive green, and bright turquoise ribbons, and gift wrap.

Modern or retro style.

Cute deer, nature, leaves, snow, Christmas trees.

All that being said, I am seriously not picky. But I appreciate knowing what my partner likes, so, now you know what I like in particular, but I like being surprised, or awed, or inspired, by YOUR choices.

DISLIKES/ Please Do Not Send -

For swaps that specify checking the dislikes of a partner.

No scented items, please.

Nothing chocolate, or melty. San Antonio is just too hot.

No candles, lip balm, makeup, again, too hot here.

Nothing Victorian themed, please, just not my favorite.

Favorite Music

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

Comment: OMG! Thank you for such a wonderful swap. I am so impressed with your inchies & the little inchie book you made for them. I had never seen one of them before. It is fantastic. Also, thanks for all the goodies. The metal pieces are awesome & right up my alley! (I am going to send you a PM to see where you got them :) Grayson was so happy to receive his goodies too. He helped me open the package & had a big smile on his face. You really made both of our days! I appreciate your kind words & all the great stuff :)
Response: I'm so glad you liked the inchies, I love making them, and challenging myself to use lots of layers and techniques. And I appreciate you rating the swap. The extras I send if I see something in a profile I think someone could use. And I'm more than happy to send something to Grayson. That made my day.

Comment: Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous!!! The colors you chose are great, I love everything about them. Thank you for such an amazing swap and the extras you tucked in. I love that ribbon, lol. I haven’t shopped at Maurice’s in a long time. I need to get out more. Yes’m we are close. One of these days we should do a meet up. Do some crafty shopping & lunch. Again, thank you for the beautiful swap!! ❤️
Response: You are so welcome! I'm very happy you like the rosettes I made! I got the ribbon in San Angelo when we were stationed at the Air Force base there, quite a few years ago. Found it at an antique mall.I think they're labels, for the clothing. Thank you so much for your comments, I really appreciate it, and thanks too, for the rating!

Comment: What a lucky girl I was getting you for my swap partner! Thank you so much for your creative package. I know the tin box it was shipped in was not part of the swap but, wow is it ever cool. I'm setting this box on my dresser, with its contents, as the treasure received it is. Thank you for signing everything so I will always know who I received it from.
Response: I'm so happy you liked your swap, I enjoyed making everything, I love tiny things. Thank you very much for your comments, I really appreciate that, and thank you for the rating.

Comment: Thank you so very much for the awesome swap and all the great Halloween goodies you enclosed! I loved everything you sent and enjoyed reading your Halloween memories and stories. Your box arrived in a postal body bag and was pretty beat up but thankfully everything inside was good!
Response: I'm so sorry the swap arrived in that state! I'd like to think that the postal service would treat a priority box better. But I'm really glad the contents weren't damaged! And glad you liked your swap!! Thank you for your rating, and comments.
