Hello everyone - just a note: I caught this horrible flu and have been too sick to do much of anything for that last couple of weeks. This has made me late for several swaps. I've left notes on all of my partners profiles, and I promise to have everything out by Monday (the 24th). I'm so sorry! Oh, and I'll disinfect everything before I send them. ;) Thanks for understanding.

I'm new to swap-bot, but not to crafting... though it's been a long time and the crafty scene has changed quite a bit in my absence! I'm a beader, a writer, a lover AND a fighter. ;) I also enjoy collage, photography, scrapbooking, and creating handmade cards & stationary.

My love for crafts began as a little girl, when I found a little book on origami. I also loved latch-hook & beginning embroidery. Then, with my wonderful, crazy aunts, I ventured into fabric paints, embellishment & scrapbooking. When I was about 15, my dad bought me my first bead supplies, and I was hooked!

Beyond crafting: I am 33, just moved to Ventura (Southern CA) from Napa Valley (Northern CA), and spend my free time with my boyfriend and our three dogs.

Just a note: though I respect the beliefs of others, I'm not a big believer in religion, overall. I've spent a lot of my life learning about different religions and found that while some of my basic beliefs are mirrored in many, I don't subscribe to any. If I had to put my beliefs in a box, it would be the one marked "Pagan/Buddhist/One Love" =)

Of course, the stuff below is informational only. I'd never want to limit someone's creativity with a list of stuff I don't like! So my loves/dislikes only really apply to swaps that don't involve creation!
