About Me
I love to be creative and in my spare time and you will find me in my basement doing the following: mixed media, making jewelry, altering "anything" (bottles, boxes, books), making collages and creating ATC's with several colors and textures. I'm 55 years old and have 2 boys ages 268 and 25 and 2 grandsons (2.5 years and 1 month) as of January 2018. Time really goes by fast..........I still remember when they were 2 and 5, phew!!!!!! I live in the Midwest (Minnesota - state of 10,000 lakes)....
I Like Vintage
I love old "vintage" items. I love to receive anything "ephemera" with the old vintage looks. I collect old photos, old bingo cards, old ticket stubs, old looking hearts, old dice, wooden domino's, old postage stamps, mini bottles, etc.
About Me
My favorite colors are non-primary colors...I love any color that is not a primary color but hues, tints, and combination of these colors are perfect for me. However, I do appreciate primary colors, but it's just hard for me to use them myself. Don't be afraid to send me something with those colors. I love to Golf and walk. I'm not a big fan of Holiday Themed items (ex: Christmas, Halloween, Easter) but if I do receive them I always re-gift to someone who does like them.
I Like to Collect
Buttons, Brads, Old Postage Stamps, Rubber Stamps, Calligraphy items, Miniature Games Pieces, Dice, Domino's, Ephemera, old keys, old Bingo Letters, Scrabble tiles, small mini jars, skeleton keys, regular keys, Vintage Buttons, etc.
I Like
Embellishments, Watches and Assorted Watch Parts, Ephemera, Smaller Domino's, Mosaic Pieces, Small Tiles, Round Gems, Marbles, Old Bingo Numbers, Assorted Ribbon, Jewelry Pieces (Even Mismatched or Broken), Small Wooden and metal boxes/tins (so I can alter them), mini bottles and keys.
Ratings
Response: I'm so glad you like the ATC and I knew you'd love the little electronic goodies. I hope to swap with you again. Thank you for the rating.
Response: Yea! I'm so glad you liked the ATC's. This was a fun swap. I'm also glad you are able to use the little extras for your ATC making. I hope to swap with you again. Thanks for the rating.
Response: I was very, very nervous about this swap as I had never done this type of swap. I'm glad you like my first 9 LP swapping. I wasn't sure how to decorate the pocket without covering up the Cards in the pockets so I left it blank. I'll have to google to see how other people have done it in the past especially without adding dimensions and causing the postage rate to go up. Thanks for coordinating this swap and thank you for the rating.
Response: OMG, I'm totally re-sending. I sent you a private message with photos of the ATC's I did make. I'll re-make and re-send. I thought I really, really taped up the envelope but I guess Customs was interested in what was inside the package and TOOK my goodies that you were supposed to get!
Response: Yeah, the package arrived and arrived safely I'm glad you like the ATC and the extras. Thanks for the rating and I hope to swap with you again soon.
Response: I'm so happy you received the packaged and enjoyed the Circus Skinny. It was a little difficult for me to make as I started making one and threw it away because I wasn't happy with it and then I found the image of the clown and fell in love with it. I saw on your profile that you like used postage stamps so I just had to send you some. Thank you for the rating.
Response: Awesome! I'm so glad you like the address labels (I made more than you probably need) and the extra paper. I tried to pick out papers you would enjoy based off of your profile. Thanks for the rating.
Response: I'm so glad you like the package and I thought you would get a kick out of the vintage sewing items. Thank you for the rating and I look forward to swapping with you again.
Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed your package and the ATC's. I love sending items a swapper friend would love. Thank you for your kind words and for the rating. I hope to swap with you again soon.

Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed the package and the ATC. I was nervous that you may have had to pay some additional postage. Please let me know if you did so I can reimburse you. This was a fun swap and I had so much fun putting your package together. I love to see my swap-partners "smile" when they receive my swap packages. Thank you for the rating!!!
Response: YEAH! I love seeing and hearing the reactions on the Swaps I send to people. It warms my heart when I see these types of reactions. I usually take a photo of my ATC so I can remember what I sent and I totally forgot on this one. Darn it. Anyways, I'm glad you enjoyed the package and I hope to swap with you again!
Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed my ATC's and all the tidbits. I love reading through my swap partner's profile then send items they would love and use. This was a fun swap and enjoyed making the ATC's for you!

Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed my ATC and all the little items you can use for your next steampunk swap. It was a blast getting back into creating ATC as I've been away from swap-bot for about 2 years. I'm glad this was one of my first swaps. Thanks for swapping and the rating.
Response: I'm glad you like my ATC and the related items. I forgot to mention I noticed you were flaked on the Star ATC swap so I thought I would "Angel" the swap and make you one. I hope you enjoy that as well. Thanks for swapping and the rating.
Response: You are so welcome. It was a very fun swap and I'm glad you liked my ATC and I hope you enjoyed my handmade leather ATC envelop. Thanks for the rating.
Response: I'm so glad you like everything. I had fun putting together this package for you and hoped that you would enjoy all the assorted goods. Let's swap again soon. Thanks for the rating and heart.
Response: So glad you like it. I had no idea you have a dollhouse. I'll have to look for some more miniature things for you to use. Thanks for being a great swap partner. Thanks for the rating as well.

Yes, I actually meant to mention the wax paper bags- I thought that was a really great idea! Kind of reminded me of something they might have put scoops of treats in for children back in the day.
