I update often, so please check for updated likes, dislikes and wish list.

Hello my fellow Swappers!!

My name is Tia and I live in New Brunswick, Canada. I'm in my early 30s, married and have a 7yr old daughter.

I'm a crafter at heart and if I couldn't create, I think I'd go crazy! I love to paper craft, sew, crochet, and make jewelry.

I am a health and wellness advocate and have lost quite a bit of weight since Nov. 2013. I also practice yoga regularly, walk, run and generally enjoy being active. Namaste.

I am a self admitted Cat-o-holic. lol I love anything and all things cats!

I hate to admit it, but I'm a total computer geek. lol I love facebook, playing games and watching streaming tv.

I am also a Christian and am very contemporary, tolerant and easy going. I firmly believe in equality for all mankind. :)

Please feel free to message me if you have any questions, need info for a swap or would like to see about doing a private swap.

Ciao!!

Tia

Crocheting
Dishcloths, Amigurumi, Scarves, Hats, Purses, Granny squares and basically anything I get the urge to crochet.

Sewing
I've been sewing since I was a child and love a challenge. I recently bought a serger and am loving it!! I currently make: Mug rugs, Clothing, Blankets, Cloth napkins, Stuffed toys, Cloth feminine hygiene products and anything else I get a pattern to!

I also love to create patterns off the top of my head or try my hand at sewing something I've seen online or someone wearing.

Jewelery
I love working with natural stones and make earrings, necklaces and bracelets. I really love making loom seed bead bracelets and making hand woven beaded earrings. I also wire wrap sea glass from the beaches here.

Scrapbooking
I really enjoy making pages for my daughter's album and my wedding album.

Photography
I adore taking photos! I live on the Atlantic Ocean and there is always something new and exciting to take photos of. I just love seeing a new flower in my garden and snapping an up-close shot of it to show off the beauty of the blossom.

I would LOVE anything off this list and can pretty much guarantee you a heart. :-D

• Boho, ethnic or tribal items
• Cat themed items. >^..^<
• Bird themed items, especially peacocks and eagles

• No junk food at all. I don't eat it or want it.

• I really don't want anything to do with the dark arts, Satanism, skulls (sugar skulls are ok) or evil.

• Nothing sexual or pornographic. No exceptions!

• No crudeness or swearing.

• I also don't like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy or any of the other made up Holiday characters.

• I also really hate rudeness and lying.

• FLAKERS!! Flaking is stealing. Plain and simple.

• Non-Raters! People who don't rate make me sad. :( Please be kind enough to rate me in a timely manner when you receive a swap.

I try to get my swap packages out within a few days of getting assigned partners. I also like to check profiles to see what my partners like, so you might just get a profile surprise. :)

I also always take photos of what I send. If you don't get something in a timely manner, let me know and I'll send you the photo of what to look for.

If I ever send something that isn't up to standards (which I hope never happens!), please contact me before giving a low rating so I can remedy it. :)

Sadly, I do have allergies so please don't include any swap items that have the following:

• Peanuts & Walnuts
• Aspartame
• Sage
• MSG & other preservatives
• Soy based foods
• Wool
• Cigarette Smoke
• Latex (bananas, kiwi, and avocado contain natural latex, so none of those either)

My favourite tea flavours:

• Orange/Mandarin, Chocolate, Peach, Vanilla, Orange Pekoe, Green Tea, Rooibos, Blueberry, Strawberry, Black Tea, Mint

Dislikes:

• No loose teas, please. Cloves, Nutmeg, Cinnamon; Chai; Bigelow Constant Comment; Star Anise (black licorice); Earl Grey

I HATE to have to make this list. :(
