PhoenixLM

A new pic of Chezza 7 years Hasn't she turned out to be a beautiful young lady.

I left this pic of Chezza up here so you can see how much she has changed.

Chezza has started making ATC's and would like to trade here but I told her she would have to wait. Well I let her help make some or make them while supervised for people on wishlist in groups.

I reuse packaging supplies when possible, So if the outside of your package looks like it has been reused it probably has.

I'm 54 years young mother to 3 the youngest of which just turned 26!

I generally go by Phoenix, instead of my given name. It is my real life nickname. Truth be told I do not always realize it when someone is talking to me if using my legal name. ;)

I have a lot of allergies to perfumes, cats, and evergreens of all types. I'm also allergic to metals even surgical steel so I can not wear jewelry.

I have dabbled in many types of crafts in the past. These days it is pretty much whatever tickles my fancy and my hands can handle. I make candles, have made jewelry in the past, some sewing, make teas, arthritis ointment. I'm interested in making soap, bath salts and such, but haven't started at this time.

I'm not certain I have a favorite music genre as my taste skip all over the place. You might hear Red Sovine followed by ACDC and then Shaggy fast forward to Patsy Cline or Reba, though most RAP I just do not get into.

I can't stand Harlequin type books though some historical romance is OK I much prefer Jean Auel, Laurel K Hamilton, Kim Harrison (even though she is kinda cheesy at times). Ann McCaffery, Marion Zimmer Bradley, herb books, botanical books.

Underworld, Hellboy, Under a Tuscan Sun, geezsh I know there are others my brain is just on sabbatical right now.

Mostly Sci Fi, the dog makes me watch animal Planet (seriously),

I like Black & blue (seriously) Not crazy about green (unless its the kind you can spend) though I find as I get older I don't mind it being around me I just do not care to wear most greens. The exception would be a dark emerald green. I don't really have any other colors thats absolutely taboo. Not crazy about powder pink for myself though!

Pagan art (stickers, notes, stationary of pagan design, deco tape)

Green Witch supplies (hedge-witch)

Buttons prefer Bright colors, novelty or vintage (reproduction vintage OK too) (have plenty browns, tans, blacks & navy)

Beads; glass, enamel, or semi precious stones, polymerclay

Lace prefer vintage but any lace would be great. (salvaged is is great as long as it is clean and stain free)

Fabric (patterns of any kind as well as solids) To clarify I love fabrics! Anything from the dollar a yard variety to the specialty fabrics.

Unused US postage is always welcome in any amount I.E. .01 to .98 :)

Whimsy Jars you think I would enjoy OK I admit it I'm addicted to them :)

Standard size threads in colors other than black, & white.

Gel Pens Any & all kinds I think I have a new obsession!

Sharpies or other good quality permanent makers ultra fine please

Crocheted or knitted slippers I wear a size 9-10

Colors I prefer blues. purples, reds & black...

I guess putting the pentagram on my profile is not blatant enough. I am not a Christian, I am a Pagan (hedge-witch), I practice magic and believe in reincarnation. I do not wish to receive Christian literature or other things Christian unless I specifically ask for it. If you insist on sending me Christian things then you are telling me you do not want a heart.

I have decided to expand a bit about my spiritual side. I am not wiccian I am pagan I travel a "darker" path than most simply because it is what my soul calls for. Darker does not equate to evil or "black magic". I do not believe in "black magic" or even in "white magic" I do believe in "magic" There is only the magic and the intent, if the intent is evil that is where good, bad, white and dark come into it. The magic is none of those things, it just is.

I am back & I am giving all those on my wall of Shame a fresh start, well as far as pulling their names off my page is concerned.

I am very allergic to cats please let me know that you have cats in a note with the swap/tag. Pine of most types (rosemary is not a problem) Strong scents tend to trigger my allergies as well. I am sorry to add this part but due to a swap I received and the outcome I feel I really need to do this. Please do not send me perfume, I recently received some Avon perfume in a swap & everything in the swap was infused with the smell. of it and as a result I became ill with a migraine, it also triggered my asthma.

I forgot to put this here whist Yule coming up it is need to know Pine is an allergy really almost all evergreens that includes EO's & all perfumes of pine (perfumes are generally just one of the strong scents that trigger my asthma).

Unfortunately my asthma is triggered by my allergies.

Likes Colors I prefer blues. purples, reds & black...

Books: I love to read Vampire books (fictional & about real life physic vampires I. E. Michelle Belanger I own her CD Blood of angels & she is the only vocal on it! I head her sing part of it accapellia at a party we were both attending was awesome) Historical Novels I'm not a fan of Harlequin or Silhouette books. Some Sci-Fi Examples of authors I enjoy Marrion Zimmer Bradley Darkover Books, Ann MCCafree (sp), Melissa Rawn, Jean Auel, I'll think of others later

Fabrics I love them natural fibers first then everything else :)

Lace

Ribbons

I love Jewelery always have but I can not wear most jewelry due to allergies to metal even surgical steal & gold. My ears are not pierced due to this but if you send me pierced earrings my partner or my daughter will lay claim to them. My partner is spiritual and my daughter is pagan.

Dislikes Green clothing for myself I generally will not wear it unless it is a deep emerald green.

Lies even white ones just tell me the truth & let the chips fall where they may. I am human & my feelings may get hurt but I would rather have hurt feelings from honesty than later from a lie. I once knew a girl who truly believes that people wanted to be lied to and thats all she does, you will notice I said I once knew as in past tense. If she had been honest with me then we would probably still be friends.

Having my morning coffee interrupted :P

I am on a diet please do not send me any kind of candy.

Please I know some napkins are aesthetically pleasing and some may or may not be humorous depending on your point of view, but please keep your napkins I have a more than adequate supply.

Please do not send Ephemera I just wind up throwing it away. I have not yet figured out anything to use it for.

I only use certain lip balms please do not send me any.

Granddaughter loves these things "Magic Towels" so these are no longer taboo with me.

The things this child has brought changes to.

I'll probably come across more to add to this later.
