YO PEEPS TO WHICH I OWE SWAPS
updated 10/1: Hello again all! I'm going on vacay until 10/10. I'm hurriedly trying to get as many of my swaps and one on ones out before I leave on the third. If I don't get to you, oooh, sorry and I'll send it out ASAP when I get back! Thanks for your patience.

I love to craft and very interested in all types of design. I am very inquisitive and there is not much that doesn't pique my interest! I have two girls (4 and 7) and we love to craft together.

I love modern style and also some cute, like hello kitty and other things kawaii. I love the japanese craft book aesthetic, although I don't own any at the moment.

some favorite stores/websites/people/places/blogs for inspiration:

• martha stewart

• anthropologie

• www.paper-source.com

• www.impressrubberstamps.com

• www.rosylittlethings.com

• shimandsons.typepad.com

• www.onehourcraft.com

• www.notmartha.org

• www.craftypod.com

• inspireco.blogspot.com

• www.ohmythatsawesome.com

• sfgirlbybay.blogspot.com

• www.yvestown.com

Music to move by: all kinds, except way twangy country. I'm currently rabid about classical music, but also like most other music, even top 40. Although, I don't get into too much rap or the mash-up stuff that's going on now.

Movie faves: princess bride, spaceballs, emma, pride and prejudice (both versions), zoolander, others, but I can't remember, but mostly light-hearted fare or ones with very nice cinematography or comedies. I also like action films, but don't get too much into drama because I get so emotionally intense about movies and find that if it's very upsetting subject matter, I feel sick for quite a while after watching the film.

Boobtube: none at the moment, TV takes away time from crafting or reading! Some shows that I love or have loved at one time or another: Alias, X-Files, Friends, Ugly Betty, America's Next Top Model (ugh, I don't know why!)

• something you made

• buttons, baby!

• small sewn goods

• modern-style stationery goods like shimandsons or lotta jansdotter

• something handmade by you!

• ribbons

• yarn, although I currently have enough acrylics to last for quite a while

• fun crochet/knitting notions and hooks/needles

• notecards

• personalized swap cards or address labels

• crocheted or knitted cotton dishcloths/scrubbies

• cute lanyard for my keys!

crochet, knitting,hand-spinning, papercrafts of all sorts, I dabble in painting, collage, sewing, embroidery, rubber-stamping, beading, sketching, journaling, pretty much everything, although I have a definite aversion to scrapbooking right now, I still love all the stuff you can buy to use for other papercrafts.

Are you on Ravelry? If so, I'm lulubird6 there as well. Add me to your friends list and I'll add you as mine.

I like anything that is made by you! Although I don't do ATC's myself, preferring to make notecards, notepad covers, and other such items, I do like to see ones that you have made! For me, it's the process, rather than the end product in crafting that brings me the most joy. I love figuring out what I'm going to do next or looking at how I can make a piece better.

Check here to see the status on your trade with me. I'm tired of getting burned on the regular swaps so I'm going lightly with them now and stick with the one-on-ones.

If you are sending me something, I will leave you a comment as soon as it's received. I usually check my PO Box every 2-3 days. I would appreciate the same courtesy, so that I know you've received. Thanks!
