About Me

I am a wife. (i am 37) a mother of 4. a daughter. a sister. a best friend. a teacher. and in any time thats left....a creator of art!!! I have been creating something, in some form for the last 15 years. and i love how my style has evolved over the years to incorporate a more 'altered' style!

Favorite Music

I love it all!!! From Classic Rock to Good ol R&B. Old school Alternative to the new Alternative Rock. And if i can sing to it....all the better! :) I love the old High School music still too! PRINCE!! Bauhaus, The Smiths, The Cure, Dalis Car, Waterboys, R.E.M., Morrissey, Gene Loves Jezebel, Love & Rockets!! Aahhhh, those were the days! And I also LOVE Mariachi music,I love that i can be the one in the group that can request a great Ranchera from the Trios in Restaurants!! :) Most Latin tunes, Buena Vista Social Club, Gloria, Tito, Celia! OK...anything really. A bit eclectic.

Books and Movies

The Twilight series!!! A MUST READ!! The DaVinci Code! Anything by Victor Villasenor, Wally Lamb....to name a few. Some of my fave films are L'Auberge Espagnole, Amelie, Nowhere in Africa, Habla con Ella, Ma Vie en Rose, Four Weddings and a Funeral, The World According to Garp, Overboard, The Sandlot, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory...(70's version of course)Sex in the City!!

Favorite Crafts

what started out as basic rubber stamping, has, 20 years later turned into a full fledged love affair with all things artsy! I love to make 'things', i love to collage, make altered art in various forms, i love yummy handmade paper, making books and bookbinding,journaling and recently re-discovered the fun of joining swaps!!!

Likes

I love Mexican Art/Folk Art. Images that relay the feel of Mexico. I also like Milagros and Dia de los Muertos images/and figures. I love butterflies, as they seem to cross my path often. And i just got my first tattoo of a butterfly. (it was truly on a whim!) I love vibrant colors. Purples, Oranges, Yellow, Greens, Reds....but have no problems with browns, black...etc. No prob. with Vintage items! Love vintage tablecloths! I like Glitter, wings, skeleton keys and key holes. My most fave symbol is a Fleur de Lis. And Phrase is "Carpe Diem". Or simply..Seize the Day! Love nature, trees, leaves. Travel, and foreign countries, i LOVE languages! French, Italian, Spanish, German....any! Oh, and i love the ATC's that fit on the 7Gypsy's spindle!!! FUN!!!

Dislikes

Hmmmm....i don't think i am in to Victorian ladies. Just doesn't do it for me. the whole look of it. I just realized that. :)

BIG WiSh!

I am dying for a Blythe doll!!!! I found out about them here and have fallen in LoVe!!! And i don't normally care for dolls.......but then they are more like little girls than dolls...right? I will get one by Christmas!

just a side note

You can trust that i will always do a conscientious job on your swaps! I would never send anything i wouldn't be thrilled to receive!

ratings

OK...so i have to admit....swaping on swap bot is not "MY LIFE"!! I love it. It's fun. But really....I have a real life. If someone sends their end of the swap, even if its not to my distinct liking or what i expected....i will still rate a 5 and heck even give you a heart!! I have met/come in contact with some amazing, generous, hilarious women on this site! And i thank you for that!!!

Comment: The signup deadline for this swap was 7/31 with a send out deadline on 9/30. My package was sent out on 11/4. This swap called for 50 items that makes her happy and no need to include the list. I received about 12 or so items and a list. User kept in good communications but I had to keep asking about the status of my package. I did give her a chance to correct the mistake but she said "unfortunately I am done with this swap" hence this rating. Please read swap rules for big swaps like this and stick closer to the send out deadline.
Response: Yes. I honestly did read the rules wrong. oops. :( And i apologize for that. I did send along wonderful items.prtnr has been in tons of pc swaps, card, penpal, q&a swaps and seems to wanted a package full of 'stuff'. i am sorry. this 3 rating does not reflect me as a swapper! I love to swap with friendly, happy, understanding swappers!
