Hi all, my name is Rebecca.

First things first, if you ever receive a swap from me and there is ever postage do please message me, I will re-pay you via PayPal or send you postage, and if you ever don't receive a swap from me where I indicated it's been sent let me know asap and I will make it right. Just let me know first before you rate me. I have a tendency of spoiling my swap partners with extra goodies I do try my very best to weigh my envelopes at home and at a little extra postage if necessary. I'm getting better at it but I still would prefer a message than a bad rating.

Now more about me.....

I've been married for 22 years, with two boys (ahem men) 16yo & 19yo. and fur Mom (me not them ;-)) to two cats named Lucy and Ethel. Ethel seems to think my crafts are for her fun time and loves to steal whatever she can and leave all throughout the house, how rude!!

I am a child of the 80's and love everything 80's, music, big hair, lip smackers lip gloss and parachute pants, yes I said it parachute pants. If you don't know what they are Google it :-). Now back to the music, I love all sorts of music but my absolute favorite is R & B. I grew up with music all around my house and learned to appreciate all types of music from country, mariachi & Motown.

I am all over the place when it comes to movies, my all time favorite movie is Shawshank Redemption, next My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Fried Green Tomatoes, The Green Mile and so many more. I love to watch movies and craft.

I am an all around crafter. I love all sorts of crafting, sewing, crochet, and jewelry making but my all time favorite is paper crafting. My paper crafting includes scrapbooking, digital scrapbooking, card making, making embellishments, making fun shaped crafts like a teapot out of paper or a birdcage. I have also dabbled in ceramics and started swapping about a year ago and haven't looked back :-). One more thing I love sewing on paper. I love the texture and the look of sewing, so don be surprised if you receive one of my swaps and I sewed on it.
