Hi! My name is Dawn.

I love crafting, cooking, baking, reading, hiking, animals, history, science, art, art history, ballet, weaponry, marksmanship,..just to name a few. I don't watch TV and haven't in 15 years...it is just not like it used to be.

ANIMALS..... I love all animals..they are majestic, beautiful, interesting, funny, adorable and even scary...some of my FAVS are: cats, bats, snakes, birds, otters, octopi, lizards, platypus, horses, kangaroos, dogs...I HATE animal cruelty, irresponsibility, neglect, disrespect. I hate zoos and the circus.

THEMES I LIKE:::: astronomy, vintage, cooking, abstract, architecture, geometrical, impressionism, fractal, retro, sepia, roaring 20's, Tudor, medieval, floral, nature, cats, birds, insects, bees, butterflies, botanical, tea party, garden party, Parisian, Italian, Greek, Asian..but not limited to..

I appreciate (ANYTHING) that is not on my dislike list. This site is NOT about pleasing everyone, all the time, I know, but it IS about being conscientious and courteous.

anything rude, bullying, gothic, horror, "pagan" , demonic, foul language, sports, current celebs/entertainment, fairies, magic, cultist, dark, cutsie/juvenile type themes, ..Disney, Andy Warhol and similar, sexually suggestive, pin-up girl type, nudity, violence, religion bashing, vulgar or sarcastic...please don't😣

Please don't send tiny bits and pieces of paper, cutouts, confetti, sequins, etc. I have no way to store them

....please no food or drink or cosmetics, no EASTER theme and no SANTA CLAUS...I love Christmas just no Santa.

If i think you didn't send what the swap called for, and i message you about it, PLEASE don't bite my head off. (I will cut and paste nasty messages from you with your rating, where you cannot delete or edit and so all can see) Tell me where I'm wrong, I WANT to give a good rating. Some hosts don't make it clear about what is acceptable in their swaps. Why do some people join a specific swap, but think they can send something else??? If we run into issues, we can work them out WITHOUT ANY drama. I promise, I'm flexible. All I expect is what the swap says to send. BTW, I make mistakes, too, and will always make my swaps right. Lets have fun!!

I am a foodie, but don't swap actual food. I love cookbooks, recipe cards, food art, food photography, food magazines, food ideas, nutrition info, helpful kitchen/cooking hints, food websites, picnic, party, dinner ideas,.. anything FOOD,... except actual FOOD swaps!! Lol. For the sake of recipe swapping, I love ALL foods and have no food allergies.

THANK YOU for stopping by and happy swapping.
