Hello! I went to school for textile design, and now... I make things for a living. Lots of stationery, postcards, and the odd crocheted piece now and then. If you are extremely interested, feel free to check out my etsy store. (The link is above...)

I also really enjoy putting together special packages to mail out to people. You can rest assured that whatever I send to you will be memorable for both you and the postmaster. I am thoroughly convinced that the postal workers at the local post office think I am crazy.

hand made anything...I enjoy and admire the textile arts and most hand crafts.

rainbows! ... (oh yeah. I'm a long-time fan of them.)

a specific color combination that I currently love is orange and hot pink.....that's if you can't handle a whole rainbow. :P I also like most metallics, I have a slight tendency to spray paint everything gold.

unicorns ... (especially silly ones)

magnets ... (Especially if they feature someone's art or photography!)

kittens ... (if they have laser eyes, all the better)

pretty much any cute illustration of an animal

wool

alpaca

things that should be scary, but end up cute ... or things that should be cute, but end up scary

polka dots

retro advertisements

tea (I drink it all the time) ...and chai

fountain pens and fountain pen inks

books in French - on virtually any subject, and in any condition (tattered, smells like "old book", got it for 10 cents at the second hand store, it doesn't matter bc I love them all!)

zines about pretty much anything (especially minizines, the ones that are 1/8th the size of a standard sheet of paper)

your artwork on a postcard! (that includes photography)

friendship bracelets ... (I'm apparently hooked on them)

barbie sized shoes, clothes, whatever...I like crafting at the one sixth scale, and putting together rooms with accessories for my dolls, then photographing them and sharing the photos online.

pieces of fabric with tiny scale prints on them (like florals) because I use them to make clothes for dolls ;)

I'll admit to being weird-ed out by getting edibles in the mail ... (with the exception of tea, if it's wrapped, tea is OK).

I suddenly found myself with a massive sticker collection...which I don't really need, so I'm sending them out to swap partners who might like them. With that said, I definitely don't need any more stickers! (I'm swimming in them!)

A popular craft that I don't do is scrap booking, so ... random bits of paper, embellishments, brads, etc. would be passed on to another swapper in the future. :)
