Hi! I am new here but have swapped for years on many Facebook ATC groups. If you have the choice of what to put on the ATC's you send me I would love anything with birds on it! Any kind of bird really. It can be painted drawn or just a simple stamp ir sticker added to your design. But I love anything that someone takes the time to make! I collect them and buy them from Etsy. I am obsessed. I love to paint and draw birds. I love walking in the trails here to go birding and birdwatching in my own back yard. I love learning about birds also! With the swaps I will send you: I have only swapped here a few times. But I have swapped hundreds of time in my other Facebook swap groups. I always go above and beyond adding little extras for you based on your profile listings of things you like. I love making people smile. So I take a lot of time and care with what I make! I always place your ATC in a resealable plastic sleeve. Also I have been making pretty library pocket to put the ATC, a note from me usually on a little handmade card and any extras I can fit in here! I just love doing swaps. I love taking the time to find out about you and always study profiles and write down things in my swap journal I keep so when I'm out at the craft stores I can pick up beat little things I find there! I stay super organized with that. I always send out what I would like to receive. I do realize that some people are on a budget and can't afford to go nuts like I do. And that's ok! Honestly, when I receive something even if it's just something super simple or way crazy jam packed I just so appreciate that someone took the time to do the best they could to send me something in the mail! I love mail...that isn't a bill. Haha!

I have a sarcastic messed up sense of humor. I don't get offended by many things. Unless it's mean spirited! I welcome all people to be my friend in here! Just recently moving to a new state I am prett isolated. So this is a way for me to stay connected to the world. The old fashioned way I guess. I just love the personal hand written note.

I will always rate you a 5. I figure that you do the best you can! Even if you are a moron and don't read the rules it don't even bother to somewhat care about what you send me I won't rate bad. I may send you a message just to let you know something is wrong. In case you didn't realize it or it's totally not your fault. But I won't rate down. I just can't do that. You never know what goes on in others lives. Plus. It's just paper. You out a stamp on it and managed to mail it. So it's all good. This is me being funny. Anyways... Besides birds....cats, squirrels and little creatures like that. I also am involved in Girl Scouts as a leader. I have one 8 year old daughter. She is a Brownie. So community service related things too. Like things to do with helping others? Keeping out community beautiful. Earth day stuff. I love finding ways to help out around town. Even if it's just carrying a plastic bag with me when we walk to the park and pick up any random litter.

I also love carrying around those little Field Notes books or the Moleskine ones. I like to sketch in them. I love pencils erasers anything to do with painting or drawing. I love stickers too! More to come. I just have been adding paragraphs to my profile when I sit down and have an idea.

Favorite Colors: Teal, Robins Egg Blue, fuschia pink, lime green.

Favorite season Fall

I Love chocolate of all kinds

Hobbies are painting birds and nature with watercolor, sketching with Graphite and Colored pencil. Hiking trails to do nature studies. Journaling, knitting, scrap booking, calligraphy.

I am working on my calligraphy skills. I like to use pointed pens as well as those Pilot Parallel Pens

I LOVE craft supplies. Especially pens, markers, cute pencils and cute erasers. I collected those scented erasers and little fruits and such as a child. I recently started collecting them again whenever I see something on Etsy.

I also love washi tape. I have been building a little collection and am always looking for fun new patterns. I tend to go a little crazy when I am sending out swaps. I love decorating and making by hand the envelopes I send out my swaps in! I tend to over do it! 😂 I also send some sort of little extras with every swap I do. I like sending little embellishments or washi tape sample cards, stickers, the cling stamps that you put on acrylic blocks. I started buying duplicates of those stamps to send as extras in my swaps. Since they easily fit in the emvelopes with my swap creation! I like to spoil the recipients of my little creations!!!

I belong to several ATC swap groups on Facebook). I love swapping and can't wait to get started here!
I will add on to my profile as I look around and explore more on Swapbot to see what other members put on their profile for people to see!

Thank you for swapping with me! I am always open to private swaps. I know the groups on here require members to be at certain rankings to participate in their group swaps. So I am searching for one to join. Message me if you think you would like to do a swap with me. We can decide on a theme and run with it!!!
