IMPT!

We seem to have a new person checking mail at my post office. They are scrutinizing envelopes and anything that is even barely over 1/4" thick, they are sending to me with around $4 postage due.

So, double check those envelopes if you are sending to me, please.

Update 8/23/20:

I had a day last week where I got 5 postage due envelopes on the same day. I had to have them returned to sender, I couldn't afford to pay nearly $20 in postage. They told me that all of them were envelopes that were over 1/4"thick - therefore charged at the package price. I'm sorry if you get one returned to you, I knew it would be way cheaper for everyone if they were returned and repackaged. Again, I apologize if I upset anyone. I hope you'll understand my situation.

I rate every swap as it comes in. If you think I should have received from you and I haven't rated, please let me know. If I chose not to rate for some reason, I will contact you about the reason.

I have sent late exactly once in my years here. I usually send quite early. If you haven't received from me, please, please let me know. I'll do everything in my power to make it right.

I love to eat and love to craft!

I am totally not a girly-girl! I live in Jeans and T-shirts.

I live in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. I am 40ish years old and work in costuming in the theatre.

I recycle or "up-cycle" EVERYTHING! I see new uses and projects in so-called trash. Including packaging! I can't throw away a bubble envie that has only been used once!

I do mostly fabric crafts and collage. Sometimes I use all fabric so that I don't loose the hand of the fabric for ATC.

I can't draw unless you want stick figures; I can do a mean stick figure. :)

I love handmade.

I have been doing lots of ATC's. Love creating those little pieces of art!

Right now I am doing a lot of JAMS and I'd love to receive any ATC size images, stamped images, die cuts, embellishments, etc -- IN SETS OF 3

I love dragons, dragons, dragons, gargoyles, fairies, mermaids, octopi, Celtic art, Mythological creatures, old school "oops" style pinup girls, Alice in Wonderland, and did I mention dragons. :)

I collect artist made earrings and necklaces. I love original works that I can wear around.

I especially like any candy or snack or food things that are special to an area (example: chilie candy=New Mexico). I LOVE to try really different snacks.

I love dark colors (black, purple, maroon, blue, etc). I am not a pastel girl unless it is like pink mixed with a funky black motif. I'm not a big fan of pink or muddy greens.

I collect tiaras, Hum-Vees (H1 only), interesting necklaces and earrings, 1976 Quarters (Bicentennial)

I'd love to have some die cuts. I don't have a machine, but love to craft with the ones that have been sent to me. I especially like the ones that are lace or have open areas like bamboo or edges.

I also love to receive ATCoin blanks. I haven't invested in a cutter yet, so ATCoin blanks are always welcome.

I don't like scented things (like soap, lotion, potpouri, etc). Nor do I wear makeup.

I am not the biggest fan of things overly "cutesie" (big eye dolls and kids, etc). Disney is not my favorite, but I'm easy going.

Action pics, Comedies, James Bond, Hellboy, Serenity

Psych, Dirty Jobs, How It's Made, Firefly, Eureka, Scooby Doo, Bones, Futurama, Lie to Me, Warehouse 13, Supernatural, Murder She Wrote

I have really gotten into ATC's lately. Really having fun with that.

I do a lot of sewing, general crafts, found object sculpture, Doll recons

I make a lot of jewelry.

I cook a lot. But I do not bake much - can't have the stuff around the house!

Anything by Tom Robbins, The Three Musketeers series, Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass

Heavy Metal, Classic Rock, Classical, Scissor Sisters, Nina Simone

Right now I am looking for the following things for projects I have brewing.

Please message if you'd like to set up a private swap!
