About Me

I love sharing creativity! Im a single mother of 4 children. In my late 40's. I am a working mom but always crafting. I love to do paper crafts such as ATC's, snailmail, mail art, etc. I love to swap packages full of interesting things. I cant keep my eyes away from internet pictures of interesting swaping packages. I love vintage things. I like shabby chic, retro, midcentury, and some steampunk just as long as its not too dark. I like kitsch items too. Im a real artsy kind of gal. I dont like nudety though even though the art world has alot of it. My favorite way to create is to sew. You can view a little of what I do on my Etsy shops. You can also view and follow me on instagram and flicker under dustysusan. One of my favorite things to do for weekend fun is hit the yardsales. I find a lot of interesting items to sell on Etsy, use in my art and handmade items, and also find stationary and ephemera things. I dont like to wear jewely but I love old vintage jewelry to incorporate into my work. Or even if it looks old. On a side note: I just love "The Love Parcel" 's style. I wish I could do a swap everyday but I work so will try to do a few every now and then :)

I wouldn't mind...

washi, ephemera, vintage ephemera, interesting trinkets and knic knacks, art, atcs, handmade goodies of all sorts, stationary, stickers, candy from other countries, tea TEA tea!, coffee, ribbon, fabric scraps, lace LACE lace!!! shabby chic art n stuff, marie antoinette art n stuff, vintage crafting supplies such as old game pieces, buttons, ribbon, fabric, etc, old vintage jewelry even if it's broken.

I dont care for...

nudity, anything sports religious items other then christianity, idols, Disney, kawaii unless you must, I have a daughter who would love it. fantasy unless its gnomes and such like, cursing and dirty language

Still dont have a clue?

if you are still not sure about my likes, you can visit my etsy shops and my Pinterest.  Pinterest will say it all!!! I'm on Instagram under dustysusan and dearmrsmith. Follow me :)

Comment: Thank you very much for everything! I love the envelopes and I already used two of them. May I ask you what glue you used? It looks so flush with no lumps. I use tacky glue and it doesn't look good because of the bumps.
Response: So glad you received it and are pleased!! I use Elmer's CraftBond 40g All Purpose Glue Stick because I would get the same results as you did. Wet glue makes it all bumpy. http://elmers.com/product/detail/E4019

Comment: Suzanne. There are no enough words to express how much you made my day. It is users like you who make swap-bot worthy. I rarely get swaps that have effort put into them, and it's so wonderful getting ones that are jaw dropping and you know effort is put into it. Thank you for putting so many cute things that I don't even want to use because they're so cute!! Haha. You are very talented and I hope we come across each other again so I can return the favor and send you something wonderful :)

Comment: Suzanne, thank you so much for the awesome package! I have never seen a mini book before. I love it! I can tell you put some much thought and time into it. I am grateful for your beautiful gift. The envelope and everything else was wonderful as well. I can't give you a big enough thank you for your thoughtfulness. Now I really want to start making mini books too!
Response: awesome! I know how you feel. I don't know what got me started but maybe something I saw on Pinterest. But now all I want to do is make them lol. You can start by getting your ideas on pinterest. you can follow my pin board under dustysusan - mini books I found some great ideas there. Im not sure what they put in their books but the little bits of art was my idea. Im glad you like! ;)

Comment: Thank you. A pretty bird postcard and stamps too. I just want to tell you that you did not write down the swap name or your swapper name so I really had to go through about 12 PC swaps to find who you were!
Response: This is my first swap. Sorry. I was thinking that who ever I write to had my info already. Am I suppose to write my name on all my swaps? Thanks for your help. ;)
