My name is Shawnette, I'm 48 yr old disabled New Grandma who has retired from the medical field.

DOB is 12/2.

A Mom to many but birthgiver to 3. Twin 28 yr old girls. And a JUNIOR , teenage son that is about to be 17! And a New Grandma to a beautiful baby girl who just turned 1!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:

¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

I DO have a YouTube Craft Channel. I DO post MY HAPPY MAIL/SWAP items in my videos!!! POSSIBLY AS WELL AS on FACEBOOK; INSTAGRAM &/or TWITTER (I DO NOT reveal your personal info {such as your address}; BUT I DO state your name ~ or SWAPBOT title. And I DO show off what you have sent to me!!! So, please remember to bare that in mind when swapping with me! {Just a side note: I would make certain you were to send decent/clean, nicely crafted items as well, since you WILL BE GETTING PUBLICLY NOTICED by my friends/Subbies & potential other viewers (meaning others out in the "craft world" and on the Internet WILL see the things you send to me & THEY WILL KNOW where(whom) it came from! So, it could/may determine IF they want you as a partner or to do future swaps with you in other craft related forums or NOT!!!)

¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

You can also check me out on Etsy as well! Message me for links to any of the above if you have issue finding me!

I truly in LOVE with ALL THINGS related to Paris, Steampunk, Beach/Ocean, Fall themed anything!!!!

All shades of PURPLES are my absolute FAVORITE colors as well!

My home is "Paris in the Springtime”. (That Color palette is Chocolate & Tiffany Blue & hues of Teal with accent hues of Lavender & Sea Foam Green colors) All of which are up against the deep, dark hues of my Cherrywood furniture (So, those are what make up my FAV/“Go to” color palette!)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the following things and I would LOVE TO RECEIVE Pretty much ANYTHING Related to any items in any of these "categories".

• Lace(s), Trims

• Purple (& all its hues), Any Shade of Teal, Sea Foam or Mint Green & Black & White or Silver

• Paris, Steampunk, Beach, Butterfly, Dragonfly, Fairy, Ladybug, Cute Monkey (Not the actual real animal images), Victorian or Shabby Chic or FALL anything!!!

ANY type of Embellishments!!! As I LOVE THEM ALL!!! But nothing too tiny! (And PLEASE, NO white backed, flat (single dimensional, cheap-looking) stickers!

• Gorjuss Girl Stamped Images (on White/Cream Cardstock preferably). Have many that I can trade you for as well, just message me!

• Prima Doll Stamps or Stamped images (on white or cream colored card stock (any except for the Megan and the Mindy as I have those stamps!)

• Magnolia Dies or Stamps or Stamped images

• Steam Punk Stamps/Stamped images; Dies/Die Cuts Gears etc

• Stamps/Dies/Die Cuts of anything on my likes list (in efforts of building up my stash)

• Cute Cartoon/stuffed Monkey's NOT the actual, real animal images.

• PREFER Silver over Gold (Unless the theme calls for it. Example Pink/Gold; Mint/Gold; Black/Gold, you get the idea)

• If doing edible anything; PLEASE make it something of The Milk Chocolate, Coconut, Reeses variety but *****KEEP IN MIND THAT I AM IN TEXAS!!!! So DO NOT SEND ANYTHING of the edible variety from APRIL - OCT***** ....as it WILL MELT & RUIN EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE ENVIE THAT YOU HAVE SENT!!! And is a total drag to clean up!

Oh AGAIN I do Prefer SILVER over gold;

& I'm NOT a yellow, green, red, maroon fan (unless the Holiday calls for it; such as Valentine's Day, 4th of July, Easter & Christmas! Then those colors are ok!)

MY STYLE

I tend to favor the vintage/shabby chic, college/grunge or clean and neat technique styles. Depending on my mood! Lol!

I LOVE STEAM PUNK TOO!!! And my style also depends on whom I am in a swap with at the time & what they prefer. As well as, the type of swap I am in at the time.

You can't go wrong with sending me MOST ANY kind of embellishments/craft/art-supplies/pens/markers/and did I mention embellishments??? etc....

Hope ALL of that info helps you make a decision & get to know a little bit more about me!

Thanks in advance for anything sent my way! ;)

*****DISLIKES: PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS*****

• TEAS - I'm NOT a tea or coffee drinker!!! So, please do NOT send these items to me!

• Anything Jelly bean or edible in general really is NOT usually what I am looking for (Unless I joined that particular type of swap!)

• PLEASE: NONE of those white backed stickers; (if sending stickers of any kind please make it Jolee's, Thickers, Mrs. Grossman's Paper Studios or some known line etc...) But please note that I do NOT really use many flat stickers at all! ***But. I DO Love the 3-D or layered ones!!!

• Any color OTHER than Purples, Teals, Tiffany Blue, Sea Foam Green (Unless it's a Holiday or Swap Theme that requires them) aren’t my preferred palatte. I pretty much stick with what I like and that is the aforementioned COLOR PALETTE in the first section!

• NOT a Gold fan either! (Unless the swap theme requires them. Example: Pink/Gold; Mint/Gold; Black/Gold, you get the idea

• NO Messy liquid glues

• NOT a FAN of ANYTHING GORY/Scary/Bloody or Clown related!!! Sorry. SO. NOT. My. Thing!!! No blood, gore, skulls or clowns of any kind, etc.... ***PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO participate in some Halloween Themed swaps and Skeletons/Bones and such in that particular type of themed swap is fine!!! But I do tend to lean towards the cutesy type items even then.

• I DO NOT send edibles or teas etc! UNLESS directly requested by my swap partner or the swap seems it necessary!

• I'm NOT a fan of those cheap white backed stickers or other cheaply made things! {I HAVE DELIBERATLY REPEATED THIS FACT IN MANY AREAS OF MY PROFILE DESCRIPTION!!!} So PLEASE Do NOT just "slap a sticker" on something & send it to me; as I tend NOT to join swaps where this is the type of items that are being swapped!!! There are nice things that cost very little that are not "cheap" looking. Those are fine, just not a fan of those stickers in my crafts.

If swapping with me/I'm your partner, please let me know if there's anything I should/need to know about you?!? Likes? Dislikes? Color preferences? Theme preferences? That kind of info that may not already be in your profile.
