what I pledged

I am a stay at home mom to a very hyper active 5 yr old little boy and a very calm 2 yr old girly, girl. I love all kinds of crafts, chunky books, ATC's, scrapbooking, embroidery, altered books, photography, etc. Although my real passion is knitting!

I am also passionate about cloth diapers, babywearing, and the environment.

I love anything Disney related, esp. the villains and Mickey Mouse. My favorite color is purple. I love butterflies and I love rainbow colored things.

I love photography, altered arts, art journaling, mixed media, collage, and basically anything handmade. I love quilts and things that are knitted or crocheted.

I also like hockey.

I also love dance, all kinds of dance although I took tap, jazz and ballet all growing up.

Some ideas of things I like & some things I would like to receive:

• Anything handmade by you, ATC's, cards, chunky pages, inchies, drawings, zentangles, etc. - Anything! I love hanging other's work all around my desk, it gives me inspiration and motivates me! Receiving handmade things makes me happier than anything else! :)
• I LOVE fibers and ribbons & have been addicted to them lately, I have more ribbon that I have fibers & I use fibers more so if you include some for me I will love you forever!
• Rubber stamps new or used - I have just got addicted to stamping & embossing so I don't have very many stamps yet.
• Embossing powders, even if just a sampling in a small baggie!
• Ink pads in any color
• Recipes, esp. for main dishes or crockpot meals, I am also always looking for recipes for pot lucks (desserts work well for this) since I have a very large family & we are always having get togethers.
• Blank recipe cards, I am always swapping recipes with family & friends and of course on Swap-bot!
• Brads, eyelets, charms, and other embellishments always welcome!
• I love color, any color, there is not a color I dislike my very favorite colors are:
• purple
• green (esp. sage green & dark forest green)
• pink
• silver
• gray
• I also love & work with a lot of neutral colors - browns, creams, beige, sage greens, etc.
• Sharpie Markers (I esp. like the fine point ones)
• Cheap paint brushes (the cheapest, I am hard on them & then I throw them out)
• Maps, atlases, old dictionaries & encyclopedias pages
• Any interesting paper with designs
• Anything hockey
• Anything Disney (although not a huge fan on Pooh and Friends)
• Postcards
• Hand written letters - I love peoples handwriting
• Buttons, any type. I esp. like old ones or interesting ones
• Gluesticks (clear) could always use these
• Tea
• Vintage Ephemera
• Incense

I am pretty easy to please and would be happy with anything you send me but here are some things I do not like or would not like to receive because I have too much of:

• I like candy but I prefer it not to be sent to me. I am diabetic and trying to control with my diet now instead of having to go back on insulin or taking any pills.
• knickknacks
• candles (unless it is Scentsy or soy candles like that)
• magnets - unless they are handmade, no store bought ones please.
• picture frames
• anything religious or political

People put a lot of work, time & money into swapping and everybody deserves recognition for that. Please rate! :)
