Want a Heart?

A sure way to get a heart on a swap is to use an interesting stamp on envie or creatively decorate it! I would rather open my mailbox to find one of those two things than any other kind of extra! It really makes me smile.

Ratings... I always rate. I just may not do it in a timely fashion! I mostly do series swaps now, and I may not rate you until I'm getting ready to send the next swap out. Sorry, it's just how I roll! Also, I WILL NOT rate you down if you mail a few days late. That's just silly. I'll always give the benefit of the doubt on any swap, but please don't take advantage!

About Me

  • I'm married to a fantastic guy who is totally in love with our 2 kids.
  • my favorite color is blue, all shades of blue!
  • i like cows, real ones, fake ones, but especially the cute-sy cows.
  • i'm a slob, but i try soo hard not to be. But it's all an organized mess, b/c i know where everything is.
  • I love sarcastic humor, dirty humor is fun too, and i have nothing against vulgar words (so sending 'questionable' swaps to me is OK! - i find it all funny!!!)
  • i love everything nautical: mermaids, fish, beach, ocean, waves, sea, crabs, whales, dolphins, ships, boats, charts...
  • i'm working on an small embroidery projects. small is the way to go when you just want to get 1 thing finished!

Favorite Crafts

I love crafting. Just look at my pinterest page!

I also sew. I've made a couple quilts (but have really only finished one the proper way :) I mend clothes for my husband and occasionally make clothes for my daughter. I really love doing crafty sewing - halloween costumes, softies, hooded towels, and other crafty items!

I like making journals...and i need more practice. maybe we can set up a private swap and i can make you a mini journal with some pretty papers for practice?

i'm also into sea glass. i can't walk the beach with my head up, i'm constantly searching the sand and rocks for my next little treasure.

I spend a lot of time making my family yearbooks - not quite as scrappy as a scrapbook. I have an assortment of digital papers and stickers. I

WishList

SEA GLASS - if you are willing to part with it!

make it & bake it Suncatcher kits for my daughter. Either the plastic beads, the frame, or both! it's her new favorite thing to do :)

STAMPS - if you are my swap partner, i would LOVE if you could use actual stamps vs the metered sticker. I buy all the "special releases" (you know, the ones that aren't flags!) and save one of everything, which is starting to add up! if you send me pretty stamps on envies, then i don't have to save unused ones, b/c i'll save yours! If you include real stamps on a package, I'll most likely give you a heart for that alone!

I guess I'll add my Dislikes

PLEASE DO NOT SEND SEEDS (plants, flowers etc) from other countries. There are so many invasive species here that are taking over, and I will NOT plant and potentially add to the problem. So please, don't send them!

i don't like coffee or tea.

i stay away from black licorice.

i'm not religious and am not into anything religious - although i want to add that i do not have a problem with you or your religion; i'm just not into it myself.

if sending recipes, please avoid cabbage or fish

Comment: Love love the wee mermaid and her bed. So precious. The tiny little seahorse buddy is adorable. Thank you so much. You put a lotta love into making that little sweetie pie. Mermaid Hugs, Sandy
Response: awww...glad you liked her! i love that little tiny seahorse...seemed just perfect to be her snug pal at bed time! i wasn't sure i could make a bendy doll small enough to fit in a matchbox, but she did with just enough room for some bedding and a buddy. :)

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful little bird notebook! It is really nice. I love the entry on the bluebirds, as I would love to see one. The story about the baby robin was very cute, and it reminds me of my recent find: a dark eyed junco nest! They started to hatch yesterday. Your pictures of hummingbirds are also cute; I have the exact same feeder too. Thank you for the beautiful bird book!
Response: glad you liked it! we have fun taking pictures of the birds in the yard - my (almost) 5 year old is always asking what is at the feeder and has started identifying some birds (robins and cardinals are the easy ones). Then she asks if I'm going to get my camera! haha!!

Hi Kim! I'm so happy you received the swap I sent you! Thanks for the rating & the sweet comment! I've been meaning to ask if you collect used international stamps as well? I collect stamps (mostly international ones) & I have quite a few duplicates! If you do collect international stamps, I could send the duplicates your way! Xoxo

HelloCindi on Jul 28, 2014:

I received my Traveling Postcard in the mail today! I just want to say THANK YOU for signing & passing along my postcard! ♥
