About Me

After almost a year break from Swap-bot I'm back and ready to bring on the swaps. I'm still playing catch-up with life but I'm getting better at it now.

To me, art is all about having fun with whatever the world has given me. I have a craft room where I often get lost in but I love it. I enjoy all types of art from stained glass, painting to metal arts/jewelery making and photography, I have tried almost everything. Most of all, I mainly like to share my talent with everyone which is why I am so glad I found swap-bot.

I currently work as a vet assistant and am just an animal lover in general. I would love to someday become a vet but for now I'm just a college girl working my way up. I especially like anything printed with paw prints. I train with my dog in obedience and agility. She goes with me almost everywhere I go. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and so I foster dogs when I can and help with finding pets wonderful forever homes. I encourage responsible pet ownership and am always glad to help when needed.

Wish list

I'm not picky but here is a list to help some.

Things I could always use:

  • Little found objects and unusual little trinkets
  • Anything with paw prints
  • Anything for my dog
  • Paint brushes
  • Beads of all kind, sizes, shapes and colors.
  • Stickers -any type
  • Large hair ties, clips and scrunchies (I have very thick, long hair so small things don't work well in it)
  • Candy -Anything with loads of sugar! (not one bit picky about type)
  • Dark chocolate-the darker the better, yumm!
  • ink stamps and ink pads
  • Socks
  • Fine tipped pens
  • Earrings - I like tiny stud earrings and the type called "threaders". I have 3 holes in each ear.
  • FIMO soft -I'm learning how to use this stuff and think it's great but I can't seem to find it at any stores in my town.

Things I wish I had or would like to try:

  • Printed items like personalized address labels and backsides for ATCs. I don't own a printer so I'm very thankful when I receive items someone printed for me.
  • Bento stuff- it looks so fun!
  • Deco tape- I've seen this stuff used in crafts but I've never used or owned any myself.
  • jibbitz for Crocs- I need to add some fun to my boring crocs, I really want the paw print ones but I'd be happy with any kind

Dislikes:

  • I'm basically a pack rat and have yet to receive a swap I didn't like. I find a way to use almost everything and anything I could get my hands on right down to the stamp on the envelope.
  • I don't wear makeup

My Dog

My dog, Gizmo, is very special to me so here is a little about her.

Gizmo loves any kind of toy, especially those that squeak, she is not a destructive chewer so anything soft and squishy is alright. She's a very hyper 42lb border collie who is easy to please. Only thing she doesn't do well with is beef in her food but anything else is alright.

My Guinea Pigs

I have two adorable guinea pigs that go by the name of Jig (short for Thingamajig) and Widget. They live in a huge 3 story cage with fleece bedding and seem to be doing well at the litter training thing. There is so much space that they always welcome new "stuff" into their home (hint hint).

Just so you know...

I try my hardest to send out good quality swaps as close as I can to the time partners are assigned. I know what I like may not be exactly what someone else likes or wants but I try my best. If you are not happy with what I have sent or have not received it 2 weeks after the deadline please contact me and I'll do all I can to make things better.

Comment: Thanks so much for the postage stamp ATCs, including the extra one from Tamara. The 10 cent Bahaman coin almost makes up for the fact that you got to go to the Bahamas for Christams, and I had to stay home in the rain.
