I HAVE HAD A VERY HARD YEAR AND MY WHOLE WORLD WAS TIPPED UPSIDE DOWN. I HAVE SENSE MOVED TO A NEW CITY AND NOW THAT EVERYTHING IN SETTLING DOWN AND I AM DOING BETTER I DECIDED TO SWAP AGAIN. I JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT I AM SENDING THE SWAPS OUT SO THAT MY RATINGS OF ONE CAN BE CORRECTED!

I am 21 years old and have been pen palling and swapping since I was just a girl! I enjoy stickers, loose and sheets just no tiny or reward, stationary all kinds mainly Suzy's zoo, sanrio, diddl, and exotica/gothica. scrap booking supplies (although I have never made a scrapbook...yet) post cards, cds, books, magnets, atcs, recipes, photos, bookmarks, note cards, dotee dolls, softies, amigurmies, cute envelopes and all sorts of other things!

I am interested in many many things, reading, writing, poetry, drums, paranormal, psychology, death and dying, learning, piercings and tattoos, teaching, cultures, spirituality, religion, vampires, demons, ghosts, soul searching, aromatherapy, talking, evolution, science, math, forensic science, sexuality, beading, disease, diabetes education, homeopathic medicine, photography, mythology, blogging, womens rights, world issues, children, crafts, criminal justice, board games, animals, seasons, nature, story telling, traveling, Hungary, asking and answering questions, independent films, true crime stories, hats, Halloween, domestic violence, war, anti violence, free choice, Democracy Now!, the closing of Guantanamo Bay prison camp, Leonard Peltier, boycotting Walmart, and so much more. I am very opinionated!

I would love to receive:

anything that has to do with crafts. Beads, Buttons, Yarn, Ribbon, Rick Rack, Fabric, Rocks, Stamps, Stamp Pads, anything really.

I would also really enjoy anything 'political' I am anti-Bush and anti-War. I am a huge protester and would love random items that deal with that!

I would also really enjoy receiving, anything I can use for pen palling, painting, making atcs, making match boxes..etc etc.

I want to get into altered art, so embellishments, old book pages, rubber stamps, anything of that sort would be great!

I also love big jewelery, the bigger the bracelet or necklace the better. I am a die hard 80s lover and anything from the 80s makes me happy.

Anything with a pig, elephant, penguin, or bear(mainly polar bear) will make me happy!

I love dotee dolls and so does my daughter, I make them and she plays with them... so those are always fun to receive.

I could really use some felt pieces, no matter how big or small I will find use for them.

I would love to receive whimsy jars, matchboxes, or altered tins... I just love these so much and cant get enough of them.

I am in dire need of handmade (or bought but handmade is better) grocery bags. I go to the farmers market 3 times a week and cant carry all my items home.. :(

I would not like to receive:

any religious items, any items that a culture might find offensive, anything with food or candy (except recipes), anything that might break in the mail (my post man isn't too careful with items), anything that looks overly used. I dont mind receiving used items, but I do mind receiving dirty, dingy and smelly items!

Whatever you are, be a good one!
