About Me

Various Updates 3/4/08

A life reset in San Francisco CA with Brion, my fiance, and with my cats. I love to knit for family, friends and charity as well as other crafting "stuff". I have no allergies.

We are tentatively planning a Christmasish '08 wedding. However, I'm still currently unemployed and with my broken foot won't be gainfully employeed anytime soon until I can get around easier.

If you don't get my swap after I've "sent" it, please PM me so we can work things out ASAP. I would hate for you to feel bummed out by my forgetfulness or the silly post office.

Count on me to Angel any swap I'm participating in or if we belong to the same Group

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!! Love to decorate and create homemade christmas gifts and decorations. I love miniature ornaments and things that I can make jewerly with or emblish on holiday cards.

I enjoy letter and post card writing so I love to get stationary and post cards and note cards of any kind (Birthday, Thank You, Sympathy, Humorus, Just Because, etc.).

Wanna One on One for Ratings?

I'm open to doing one on one swaps with anyone. Dollar value negotiable depending on what you want to swap. If you have less than 5 ratings (Newbie) you will need to send first.

I have the following to send you: Cotton Dishcloth, Profile Surprise, Post Card, Pen Pal Letter, 2 Notecards w/ Envs and hopefully more as my budget expands and I get more adventurous.

I would LOVE the following: Stationary, Note Cards, ATC How to Kit, Dotee Doll How to Kit, Penpal Letter, Post Card, Herbal Tea Decaf, Profile Suprise or something else if you're so inspired.

Just PM me and we'll talk details.

Comment: You haven't been on since March 11, so communication attempts that I have made in PM have gone unread and unanswered. The swap's send-by was March 20, so I've tried to be patient in case you've been on a long vacation and haven't known of the problem, perhaps. As of April 22, I have received nothing, so I must very sadly rate you a "1". I will happily update this rating when I receive something from you!

I just wanted to say thank you again. I added your blog to my feed reader. I have been adding blogs and they are all so inspirational. They put me in the mood to create. I do post photos of the swaps I receive on FlickR and at my Live Spaces profile. I hope that is okay. I like to knit but haven't done it in a while. I have to do easy things because I can never figure out how to piece the parts. I haven't figured out circular knitting either.. I get lost. But I do love making little toys and mascots :) xxx
