About Me

im a 30 year old kid! i love to laugh & act silly... isnt that what life is all about? im a graphic designer/blogger/internet surfer during the day & a crafter at night...

ME:

• i have 3 dogs (a lab, greyhound & pug - all rescues, all boys!), a rooster, 2 hens, a turtle and lotsa koi fishies... i feel like we live in a zoo!

• i love thrifting (i wish i could make this my full time job!)

• i am an obsessive deer, batman and pez collector!

• my favorite colors are deep dark red, baby blue, teal and chocolate brown. lime green is good too, just not that 80's flourescent/neon green, ick.

...AND MY OBSESSIONS/THINGS I LIKE:

• snowglobes (the cheaper the better!) • cupcakes & sprinkles • hello kitty, deery lou & domo-kun • legos • starbucks coffee • mexican day of the dead style art • horseshoes • skulls and skeletons • tote bags • shrines • vintage toys • vintage pin up girls • organic gardening • anything handmade • recycled/found art • flavored lip gloss • pee wee herman • records (yes the kind you listen to) • photography • blank books/journals preferably handmade • robots • zombies • olive oyl (from popeye) • cookie cutters & aprons • little plastic animals (like the silly cheap kind you can find at $1 stores) • reading • painting • muscle cars from the 60's & 70's • cowgirls & cowboys • the munsters • egon schiele • maurice sendak • tattoos • batman • 1950's pulp/sci fi art

• i can NEVER have enough stationary, sharpies, ribbon, deco tape or flavored lip gloss

• any bird, deer, cowboy, olive oyl or robot themed items get hearts from me!

• i �love� big tote bags but unfortunately i cant sew very well

• i LOVE tacky kitsch stuff

• i DO NOT like "country" crafty, uber feminine, lacy, girly, flowery or vanilla flavored/scented stuff. or looney tunes/disney characters. or socks. and PLEASE DO NOT send me pieces of paper, used sticker sheets, magazine scraps or the like. if you dont want your junk, then i dont want it either. (i hate to sound mean but ive had it with people sending me crap. sorry)

Favorite Music

david bowie, acdc, the faint, trans am, ramones, motorhead, rolling stones, the clash, elvis (presley & costello), johnny cash, boston, social distortion and mike ness all solo, sex pistols, zz top, phill collins, the boss, elo, the kinks, motley crue, trex, poison (however im a bit disenchanted after hearing brett michaels has his own reality show), big band/swing like glenn miller, perry como, count basie, etc... aah!! i could go on forever here!

Favorite Movies

batman, legend, amores perros, blade runner, dark crystal, city of lost children, james & the giant peach, rocky horror, labyrinth, east is east, fight club, 300, nightmare before christmas, and any john waters or quentin tarantino film. david lynch is brilliant too.

Favorite Television

im a reader. i dont even know which of the 3 remotes turns the tv on! besides who has time? im too busy crafting, thrifting and going to the post office :)

Favorite Crafts

i am doing/creating something ALL of the time! my two faves would have to be painting and collage but i also enjoy making blank books & journals, bizarre little shrines, b&w photography, and im on a mission to teach myself how sew! (because fixing buttons doesnt count huh?)

swap partners:

when sending your package to me pretty please include your name and the name of the swap... i get frustrated when i have an awesome prize & i dont know who to thank/rate for it. also, when you get a package from me, 99% of the time ive recycled the envelope from a previous partner (and theres a pretty good chance its been recycled several times before that) so dont frown at the beat up envie!! i promise theres lots of goodies on the inside!! i HATE to waste stuff... and i know im not the only swapper out there who feels this way!

Comment: The hearts are working again! Because you rock. The pinata looks even better in person. I love it. I'm cackling gleefully at what my new de-cluttering guru is going to say about it when she gets here... I'm saving the smashing for a bad day. but I promise there will be pictures. Meanwhile, it hangs on the pot rack and waits to terrify the unwary de-clutterer. THANK YOU!

Comment: AMAZING! You totally spoiled me, and I am so, so lucky! Everything is just perfect -- the ribbon, the wind-ups, the ziploc bags, the Pez dispenser, the mystery pens, the straws, the monkey stirrers, the sushi bandaids, the stickers, the beautiful handmade birdie and the beautiful handmade "Robin" ornament, everything! I love it, Katey! Thank you so much!

Comment: When I opened my package, my exact words were (and I'm dead serious) "Oh My God; Freaking Awesome!" I was looking at the the super-cool stationary and thinking to myself that I hadn't gotten a package that awesome since I did the Andy Warhol ATC swap...it was when I was tacking the mustached squid on my 'wall of various and sundry postcards/ATCS' and noticing how wonderfully the green background of the mustached squid matched the green background on my 'clumsy bird' ATC (and, incidentally, how nice my 'Bowie aka Warhol's Marylin' ATC looked nice next to the La Calacera postcard) that I realized that you were my Warhol ATC partner! Katey you are an great swapper and you make some of the loveliest things. Words cannot express how much I love the Mustached Squid :) Thank you *very* much!

Comment: That Frankie B! Always hustlin' for the loot! Please tell the drooling, lovely, and talented cutie that his adorable note made me laugh but I am also terribly frightened about my construction paper masks so his booty will be en route soon. Oh how fun it is to shop for dawgs! I never knew...

Comment: OMG you weren't kidding when you said it was going to be creepy!! It's awesome!! Seriously, it is way awesome! I will definitly be taking pictures in a bit and posting them on my Flickr page. Thanks for the extras too...it seems to have made it okay, unless one side had only 2 lights instead of 3.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Brittsart on Oct 24, 2007:

Hi Katey how do I rate my return swapers. I dont know how to do that, they did not give me their swap bot name.? How do I improve my rating, others have not responded and I always give my name? Britt

My package arrived today safe and sound (except one of her bead necklaces didn't make it intact -- luckily, I'm awesome at (re)stringing tiny beads!) Everything is awesome and the shrine is hanging on my wall at the moment! xo Krissi

suzapalooza on Oct 15, 2007:

kateyb, I'm so glad you like the pinata I made for you! Thank you for the heart. When I saw that the one you had made was also a skull (although very different from mine), I had a feeling we were on the same wavelength. PS I just saw the Elvis sock puppet on your flickr page and I am swooning! I hope we cross swapbot paths again soon!

Anam on Oct 14, 2007:

I am so tickled about Bug's T-shirt! It is, by far, the best gift I've ever received...just my kind of humor. It's hysterical. Love it and love you for sending it!
