A little about me...

I am Yvette, also known as The Bead Diva. I love art glass beads, buttons, baubles and teaching people how to make jewelry. I am a wife, mother, daughter and friend living in Texas. While I enjoy the amenities of the big city life of Dallas close by, I yearn for the peaceful and calmness of nature at a lake or on the beach. I really enjoy nature. I enjoy traveling and have been to Europe, Russia, Egypt, China, Japan, Mexico, Canada and to 45 of the 50 states. I love Pinning but it gets me in trouble. Too many things I see that I want to do! I enjoy the holidays and planning things. I've been told I am a go getter and self motivator. I am a full time caregiver for my mother. I really don't read a lot because it makes me sleepy so when I do I read inspirational wisdom and things that relate to happiness. I am very interested in comparative religions, peace and compassion for all mankind.

Favorite crafts and hobbies...

I do anything that ends in "ing". I just can't do them all so I try to focus. I like quilting, beading, scrap-booking, cross-stitching, cooking, gardening and now swapping. I admire upcycled items. I wish I had the talent and tools to convert the items I have ideas for. I shop in thrift stores for lost treasures and love to go junkin with friends. I've just started creating Inchies and ATCs. The first few I've ever created were for swaps - I can see this becoming my latest art/craft endeavor.

My collections...

Honestly I collect too many things but here are a few of my favorites:

Mother of pearl or antique glass buttons, Old postage stamps (non-self adhesive), Sea glass and handmade bookmarks.

Things I like...

In no particular order:

ATC's and inchies, Birds (hummingbirds in particular), Riesen chocolates, Street photography and nature photography, Flowers, Fairy gardens, Anything handmade, Postage stamps, Sea glass, Hand made sun catchers, Broadway shows, staying at B&Bs, flower seed packets

Things I can live without...

Things I prefer not to receive:

Knick knacks, Dust catchers & souvenirs, Scented products (I'm allergic), Kid project supplies, Cat things, Foam crafts, Mint flavor candies, Religious items,

Favorite Colors...

I really like all colors but my favorites are blues, purples and violets.

Private swaps...

I am open to private swaps. If we have similar interests, send me a message.

Thoughts on swaps...

I like being creative and I put time, energy and thoughtfulness into each swap. I look forward to receiving the same if you are sending me a swap. I am NOT a flaker. If you didn't receive your swap from me please send me a message and let me know so I can track or re-send. Please have the courtesy to rate me promptly so I can participate in other swaps. Swaps are about having fun and "girls just want to have fun"!

Comment: Yvette, WOW!!! I am speechless after opening this swap from you!! I love everything so much. The journal that you made is so lovely, and I just adore everything that you included in it! I love that you grandson picked out Pokemon cards to send me! They cards are amazing and I am so excited to add them into my Pokemon card collection. Tell him thank you so very much!!! The little envelopes in the back are just too cute and the bird cut outs in them! I also am just in awe of all the ATC background papers that you sent! Everything truly is perfect. I have tears of joy in my eyes right now after seeing everything that you sent <3 I am just so beyond grateful and appreciative. More than words can even express. It also brings me joy to meet another bird lover! My parakeets also love to fly around:) Cockatiels are also so cute too, even if they may have a little attitude like your sister-in-laws, LOL! Anyways, Thank you so so very much again for everything. I truly can't say it enough! <3<3

Yvette, thank you so much for the beautiful RAK envelope flip book! I was afraid that I'd missed a swap...you're right!...but you cleared that right up and I want you to know that you made my day (oh, so much more than a day)! Your envelope flip book is seriously beautiful, chock full of little hidden places, full of gorgeous artwork and treats and happy thoughts! I love it, and will not rest until I host an envelope flip book swap...with yours as the "master"! Astonishingly lovely...I am in awe.
