About Me

I love art of all kinds - appreciating it and creating it. I am an animal lover, with an animal family consisting of an Australian Shepherd, 2 cockatiels, and 1 baby green cheeked conure. I am a single mom of an almost 2 year old who is the biggest joy and blessing of my life. I am open minded, like direct people, appreciate diversity and uniqueness. I am Christian and vegetarian. What else? I love to meet new people, try new things, dream big, and have fun. Questions? Just ask.

I am relatively new to swapping, and just love it. I promise to rate you and send packages promptly, so if for some reason you do not receive your package or rating, please message me and I will take care of it promptly. Thanks!

Favorite Books

I am an avid reader, almost anything, and typically have several books going at once. Although I tend to prefer books with visually poetic writing style, I like a good true story, chic lit for a light read, suspense for a good escape, and art books. And yes it is quirky, but I love to read cookbooks.

Currently Reading/ Recently Read:

  • Eat, Pray, Love

  • Shanghai Girls

  • Sheer Abandon

Just Finished:

  • The Alchemist

  • Firefly Lane

  • Little Bee

  • The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry

Some past favorites:

  • Still Life with Rice

  • Memoirs of a Geisha

  • The Eight

  • A Prayer for Owen Meany

  • Authors: Murakami, Dan Brown, James Patterson, Sue Miller, and more.

And I LOVE to collect cookbooks (with an empasis on vegetarian foods from all over the world.)

Favorite Television

I rarely watch tv, but if I do it would be Grey's Anatomy. I am way into movies though. LOVE them!

Favorite Music

I like all types and am always looking to add to my digital library. A few of the bands recently receiving a lot of airtime on my playlist:

  • Lifehouse
  • Maroon 5
  • Jack Johnson
  • James Blunt
  • Greg Brown
  • Brandon Heath
  • Mat Kearney
  • National Geographic World Music Collection - especially Africa and Caribbean

Likes

  • Backpacking (especially off the beaten track), Rock Climbing, Soccer, Cycling

  • Gardening

  • Cooking

  • Reading

  • Photography (nature, macro, alternative process such as polaroid manipulation, etc...)

  • Jewelry Making & Beading

  • Learning and trying new crafts and art

  • Love an adventure, travelling, learning something new

  • Just starting up with the papercrafts such as inchies and matchboxes and having a lot of fun with that.

  • New to Friendship books, label bags, decos, and enjoying it. Feel free to send them my way and I will move them along.

Looking for

  • Fun swaps
  • Learning/ trying new crafts
  • Penpals/ friendships if there is a connection
  • Brightening someones day with a little mailbox cheer

What I would like to receive

  • Something unique to your country/area

  • If you send food or a recipe vegetarian please (no fish, chicken, meat) Dairy is ok. And I love cupcakes and cookies and chocolate. For the summer, lean more toward raw food with all the fresh foods though.

  • Something to brighten my daughter's day. She is a girly-girl and loves music, singing, sparkle, flowers, stickers, butterflys, ladybugs, moon & stars, rhinestones, and also firetrucks and motorcycles.

  • As for me: I like flowers, seeds (herbs, edible, flowers), Polka Dots, Bright Colors, Butterflys/Ladybugs, Pen's, Stationary/ Notecards, stickers, especially into rubber stamps or punches for papercrafts lately, Wallets/handbags, fun socks, Scents for the home and perfumes (vanilla, sandlewood, earthly, crisp/clean and not too sweet.) and pretty much anything fun for the kitchen.

  • Something for the home: My home is eclectic in style with elements of style including African, Indonesian, Japanese, American-Craftsman, Modern, etc... I like ethnic prints, dark and red woods, anything promoting sustainable living & recylcing, promoting economic development worldwide.

  • Jewelry - not necessarily fancy - I love necklaces, earrings and anything handmade is always appreciated.

  • Something that you love, or want to share with me with an explanation of why you like it. If you have a favorite craft or technique, I would love a sample of your art, or a starter kit with simple instructions and materials to try it.

  • MP3 cd with your favorite songs, and Pixar movies.

Thanks

Thanks for reading. Looking forward to swapping together.
