scrapbooking, papercrafts, knitting,

While I am a spiritual person, I'm not religious. Please - no angels or scripture plaques/magnets/bookmarks etc.

I love poetry, quotes and deep, meaningful, thought-provoking things.

On the crafty side, I'm a total fiber snob. Soft natural fibers would be my first choice and I love color!

In paper crafts I lean toward the shabby stuff - basic grey, scenic route and other battered looking prints. I do some rubber stamping but only use clear acrylic stamps.

I don't really collect much of anything - I'm looking to add some art to my living spaces but lack the funds for anything too great. :) I do like primitive things - beat it up a little and I'm sure to love it!

I'm a karaoke QUEEN!

I love being in the kitchen, cooking, baking, etc. I've been called a food snob. Gourmet treats are sure to please.

I'm a letter writer. Fun papers, envies and pens are always appreciated.

I'm not into cutsie stuff nor anything country. Hearts, bears (or other animals) aren't my thing. No flowery scented items. Can't do bath products - sensitive skin.

Love handmade items where thought and real effort is put into them. I enjoy seeing how other folks work through the creative process. It's not about spending a lot of money, it's about spending a little time and effort. That's worth more than any dollar amount.

Hope this helps if someone wanted to get to know me a little better to create a rocking swap package. :)
