I am an English teacher in a Missouri public school. My students range in age from 10-14. I also supervise the yearbook.
I joined swap-bot because a lot of my ATC making friends suggested it. I also am discovering Swap-Bot to be a great place to swap other things I love to exchange: books, APCs, buttons, Toy Voyagers, scrap packs, photography, craft supplies, decorative papers, Matchbox cars, Hot Wheels, postage stamps, Milk Caps/Pogs, playbills, magazines, maps, coloring sheets, lesson plans, games, post cards, and other fun collectibles.
I like most anything.
Favorite characters are Disney Princesses, dragons, fairies, wizards, science fiction and fantasy characters (Star Trek, Star Wars, Dr. Who), television show characters House, Law & Order SVU, CI, and original. NCIS, Burn Notice, Clean House, What Not to Wear hosts, Bones, and any 80's television series characters (Knight Rider, Dukes of Hazard, Simon & Simon, Charlies Angels, etc.
I love action adventure, comedy, and family movies.
I adore collecting popular female celebrity art, crafts, ephemera, and collectibles. (Both music, film and television.)
I love board games, party games, and games of strategy. I also love Role Playing Games, though I haven't played any for a while.
Colors: All! I have never met a color I didn't like.
Art style: I like any art style besides Zetti. Zetti is okay, but I prefer not to collect it.
Books: I love reading juvenile fiction, popular fiction, fantasy, adventure, and mystery.
I love pin-up girls, Norman Rockwell, classical art especially Classical European and norwegian civilizations. I like native american art, tribal art, and most traditional art forms. I have a collection of nudes, and love recieving tasteful and naughty cards. (My wife and I do not have children.)
I love classic american cars.
Fantastic and fanciful are great. Anything creative and original.
I like stamping, stickers and scrapbooking embellishments.
Repurposed, recycled and reusable materials.
I love to draw, paint and color.
I love art by kids.
Lazy, lack of effort, or over simple.
Though I do have some 3 dimensional art in my collection, I prefer art that doesn't have bulky embellishments. Buttons are fine, bottle caps are a bit too thick for my binders. We live in a small 2 BR apartment.
Gross or Gory.

I have such a great respect for teachers - and when I was in high school I was on yearbook for a year, thinking back on it trying to advise us must have been so much like herding cats! Thank you for the work that you do.
And a gamer too, hooray! I love games - not just the online sort, but board games, miniatures strategy games, all of them. And I see you like Doctor Who - which of the Doctors is your favorite?
Welcome to swap-bot, and happy swapping!
Wow you seem to be into a lot of very different things :) & a teacher I admire that! I dislike things that lack effort too.. sometimes my mum and I put so much effort into things and get stuff thats just ordinary and it really upsets us.. Enjoy your future art en-devours

Hi there! It's fascinating how you manage all those interests with work. I've worked as a teacher for 2 years and had no time left for anything else :) Guess you are a truly active person and, I believe, an interesting teacher ;)
Wish you all the best!
