About Me

7./11 If I am your partner and you are expecting a package from me, please do not give up on me. The last few weeks of my life have been very trying and I have had a combination of personal and family issues that I have had a hard time dealing with. Please know that I am not a flaker. All of my swaps are ready they have just not been posted and I plan to get that done this weekend. Thank you very much for your patience. P.S. If you have sent to me and I have not rated you it is because I have a big pile of things waiting on me to open. I will rate as soon as I get to them this weekend as well.

I am 29 years old and live with my boyfriend of over 2 years in Jacksonville, FL. I have a 6 year old Maltese named Charlie who thinks he is a real person.

My

I have been a dental assistant (spit sucker) for the last 8 or 9 years mainly because I decided to do that until I figured out what I "REALLY" wanted to do. Of course I never figured it out. I am currently re-enrolled in school to persue a degree in graphic art or some other sort of art that I will be prolly be able to do nothing with.

Favorite Crafts

I have tried just about every craft immaginable. I have an overstuffed room full of supplies and the people at the local crafting stores wonder about me if I miss a week. My main love is paper crafting, but I also like to try out new things all the time. I have a lot of creative interests so I am currently trying to pare it down to the things I am actually good at.

*Birds nests (not real ones because that would be gross and mean to the birds)

Things I used to collect..... Tea Cups

Shot Glasses (who didn't?)

Menus

Shoes

Unfortunately I either lost interest or lost componants of my collection during moves and lack of space over the years and had to decide what I liked best.

My Style

I have several different styles in the different areas of my life

Clothing wise I am very minimalistic and I am the kind of person who will buy a t shirt in all the colors just so I can wear jeans and T shirts every day.

Decorating style~ I am a lover of color and often have a hard time pairing my choices down to a few I can use. My living area is decorated in bright oranges and blue and accented with vintage items, keepsakes, rustic elements, and things of nature. I like to think it would look like a pottery barn catalog if the house were clean and we had wood floors. I can find home accents anywhere from the front yard, Goodwill, Pier One, and the garbage.

My crafting style tends to be more on the distressed side. Since most of my completed works are paper related I definately tend to sand and ink to my hearts content to give each item a worn and loved look.

I joined Swap-Bot because

It gives me a creative outlet with a deadline. If I don't have anyone to hold me accountable I would probably never get anything done! I really enjoy sending people things that I have created by hand and getting a chance to sample other people's artistic abilites. I don't swap so that I can recieve, but it is fun to get mail from time to time!

Comment: Even though my partner emailed to apologise in forgetting to mail me, she promised to send something. It never arrived. Disappointing as this was my first SwapBot Swap.

Comment: No contact and this swapper hasn't logged on in over a week... Will change rating when swap is received... ... ... ... ... 09/12/09- Convo'd this person through Etsy a couple of weeks ago, was supposed to get a resend-- no such luck. Kind of disappointing as she was the host of this particular swap.

Comment: Your wand is truly magic. It arrived the day after I got home from the hospital. Talk about good medicine. It is so totally cool... You are so creative!!! Thank you so very much. I will display the wand proudly for many years to come. What a treasure. Where did the sand and the shells come from? I'm curious... Again, thank you...

Comment: I'm sorry, I'm a very patient and generous person, but the contents of my package were lacking from the swap guidelines and the lack of communication with the delay...and not even reading my email trying to talk to you about it gives me no choice but to rate you a 3.

Disappointed you never bothered to rate me for the embellished pushpins in a matchbox swap as I put a LOT of time and effort into your package. And you were the host!

ladymarmalade on Aug 17, 2008:

I hope this swapper makes good her swaps as so far she is flaking!

ksclowbrass212 on Aug 5, 2008:

Hi! I'm the admin for the Blythe Summer Vacation swap and your were supposed to send your items to pixelkitty on July 19th. If you have, please change your status on your Dashboard.

If you can't send the swap package, please let me know so I can send one to her myself.

Also, I was wondering if you received your package from afflictedmuse.

Thanks! -Keira
