I am a 911 paramedic living in Northern California. I love to go walking in our state parks, going to the beach, shopping in San Francisco and traveling for various craft shows to see whats new. I just found Swap Bot and cant wait to get started!

I love all beauty items (as long as they are new) but am sensitive to jasmine. I love fresh scents that make you feel like summer.

I love any kind of good quality chocolate and hard to find or nostalgic candy.

As far as colors go, I'm a big fan of earth tones, especially green, but will accept anything beautiful!

I'm getting into these swaps mostly for the surprise. I'm not super particular so as long as its pretty/cute/different/eclectic/funny I will like it. As far as art goes, it doesn't necessarily have to be what I'm into, I'm just looking for others to inspire me.

I have tons (and I do mean tons!) of cool art and craft supplies that need a good home so lets get to swapping!

I have very eclectic musical taste. I love anything from the 80's, the Beatles, Queen, some metal (thanks to my husband), and lots of the new dance music that has been coming out. My ultimate favorite is Bob Schneider.

I hardly ever read but of the books I have read I really enjoyed The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, and Nectar in a Sieve by Kamala Markandaya. I also enjoy any short story by O'Henry.

I am embarrassed to admit it but my favorite movie is Say Anything with John Cusack. It has John Cusack so it cant be half bad, right? I also love anything by David Lynch. Lately I've also been watching alot obscure documentaries like Exit Through the Gift Shop.

The only TV I watch consistently is anything on the Food Network. Other than that I get all my TV series from Netflix. My latest obsession was Friday Night Lights, and before that it was Sex in the City. I've also been dabbling in Mad Men and a new showtime series called Shameless that is hilarious.

I am an avid crafter in love with all types of media. I'm primarily a beader but also love paper crafts, Zentangles, and anything involving beautiful fibers for package wrapping. I work full time as a paramedic so the time in between calls (if there is any!) allows for little bits of creativity so I always have a project with me. As with most crafters, I'm also an avid collector with lots of little tidbits just waiting to be swapped.

Anything crafty. I loves glass buttons, glass beads, ribbon, unique fibers, paper, ephemera, and anything vintage.

I love almost any kind of candy, especially types from other countries. Flavors that I love are vanilla, cinnamon, coffee and most fruits.

I dont have many dislikes but I am not a fan of anything scented with jasmine. I'm also not a fan of anything that smells like cigarette smoke or anything flavored like black licorice or strong peppermint. I don't care for Kawaii or manga.

I love anything that feels good in your hand or tastes good!
