Hello all,

For the moment I needed to take time away from Swap bot due to medical reasons. I am unable to preform the tasks needed to create fantastic swaps like I want too. I really wish I could dedicate my effort to this. However, medically I am unable to do so at this time. I do hope to return when I am better and hope to see those of you who I worked with in the past and helped make this an enjoyable experience for me again.

This list is things that will make me smile if you decide to consider them ヽ(^。^)丿

• Octopus ( I have a huge obsession with this underwater creature)

• Scraps or supplies for art journaling!

• Rubber & clear stamps (please no holiday ones)

• Stickers and washi tape

• Japanese related or kawaii items ｡◕‿◕｡

• Dinosaurs!

• Cephalopods (squids are another favorite)

• Quotes and sayings to brighten my day

• Magic the Gathering booster packs (´∀｀)♡ (found in trading card aisle )

• Blue and green are my favorite colors. Give both and you get bonus points!

• Dice (prefer anything other than d6 for gaming purposes)

• Old comic books and magazines.

• Interesting zines

• Fortunes, Horoscope stuff for Aquarius, Constellations.

• Pin-ups and anything sexy (adult content/humor is welcome and enjoyed)

• Anything strange or odd (always wanted a two-headed taxidermy duckling)

• Dark chocolate

• Tea (earl grey/fruity teas. Always up for new blends! Not a fan of green tea)

• Fun fridge magnets

• Papercrafts (http://minipapercraft.blogspot.com) Just download the templates on nice cardstock, print out and send them to me! I would love to start making more of these! :3

• Anything cat related (lolcats are awesome)

• I ♥ mail art and anything handmade.

• Postcards/Pictures of nightlife, art, history, silly puns or jokes.

• Ticket stubs, receipts, newpapers/magazines, packaging...ect from other countries! I would love to use it in my journals! (‘∀’●)♡

I love art journaling and viewing other journals online for inspiration. I like to get messy with my projects and having the freedom to not have to be perfect. I am definitely into thrift shop finds and altering them, I have a lot of altered pieces hanging up in my apartment. I do paint and collage work also.

I am passionate about upcycling.. There are so many creative ways to upcycle things that we throw away on a daily basis. So if you see a part of a greeting card or magazine scraps on your postcard you know why. Don't worry it is done in a neat and creative way and I love the character it gives to handmade postcards! （人´∀`*）
