About Me

wow! it has been two months already since I stopped swapping! so sad! My husband was worried about me! hehehe he misses our dinner table fulled of crafty items! But I´m back to swap bot! Guess what? I just got a new job! (yep again!) but it´s a better job and fortunately I got my weekends off so I have time to create my matchboxes!

I live in San Jose, the capital city of Costa Rica, a beautiful country in Central America. I'm married to a super husband. We just celebrated our 3rd anniversary! I have no kids yet, but I would love to have a baby pretty soon! I speak Spanish, French and English. I studied French at university and lived in France for a year. I have four cats named Mimi, Lili, Tito and Milo. I also have a crazy rescued dog named Amiga. (in English it means Friend).

Favorite Crafts

I love buttons, cute fabrics and ribbons! I love matchboxes!!!! I think that's the main reason why I joined swap-bot! :D I prefer the 32ct matchboxes... it's amazing to decorate such a small box. I'm a newbie Dotee dolls fan! It takes me a little bit to complete one, but I would like to keep making more! Check out my Flickr page to see all my swaps!

FYI

Kindly note my swaps could take a little bit more to arrive. We have a good mail service but I'm sending overseas so be patient. :) Please !!! let me know if you haven't receive my swap! I will resend asap. :D

Hi there! Do you like collecting little things from different countries? (Souvenirs/ stamps/ magnets/keychains/fabric/postcards/ bookmarks/ edibles/charms/pens/ coasters/dolls/miniatures/flags/music/tea/gifts/maps etc)

You will love this swap! Its called Show Me Your Country

I am trying to get swappers to exchange any 6 items from their countries in a country themed swap.. I want to get as many countries as possible! Take a look:

This is an easy international exchange swap! last day to sign up: 21 Jan..! Only 2 per country so Go on.. Sign up quickly & share your culture :p

Hola aRiAnA,

I was glad to see that you liked the buttons and that you were able to use the beach ones to decorate your shirt. Hope your work "beach day" was fun! :)

HI! I just featured your Delicious Matchbox - Cupcake swap on the Swap-bot blog here. Thanks for hosting such a fun swap!

@kawaiibuttons thank you for your kind words. Sadly my grandfather died on April 9th. I feel better as he didn't suffer at all.

kawaiibuttons on Apr 9, 2010:

I'm sorry about your grandpa, I'll keep him in my prayers ♥

Hello friend! I started a matchbox group called matchbox & more and I was hoping you might like to join? It's not just about making matchboxes, there are lucky parcels and whimsy jars too! Let your creative side be unleashed... try something new & have fun doing it!
