Things I Enjoy Doing

  • attending the University of Idaho as a full time art student and learning as much as I can
  • spending time with my kiddos
  • reading
  • photography
  • drawing/sketching/painting
  • making ATCs

Favorite Music

Anything that makes me feel happy, inspired, or reminiscent.

Favorite Books

Too many to list.

  • Random Netflix stuff
  • Game of Thrones

Wish list

♥ I don't have one particular style of thing that I like. The best way to see what I like is to look at my flickr photos. I like unique and personal art more than clip art or packaged ephemera. I like classically pretty things and also totally weird things.

♥ ATCs made by you. Hand drawn and/or painted are my faves.

♥ VINTAGE images of men and women-old photos

♥ pretty things with flowers or ♥ HEARTS ♥

♥ BIRDS and BUTTERFLIES

♥ coins from around the world

♥ paper and stationery (I am a paper freak and can never have enough) I like to scavage around the recycle center and thrift stores for random papers

♥ pens, pencils, paint

♥ handmade bags/pouches

♥ books

♥ rocks and seashells

♥ handmade jewelry/pendants/charms

♥ journals

♥ skeleton keys and other METAL CHARMS

♥ buttons

♥ used postage stamps

Dislikes

There are only a few things I don't wish to receive: plain ATCs that obviously took minimal effort, tea, foam stickers, cheap scrapbooking supplies, confetti, loose glitter, things that are poorly made.

I really hate googly eyes!

I appreciate quality over quantity and just enjoy swaps that show some thought and time went into them.

My Swap-bot Rating System

  • I never give 3s for late swaps. I know that sometimes things have to be late and it isn't the end of the world.
  • I give hearts for artistry/creativity. If I think an ATC is beautiful or shows extra effort I am more likely to give a heart than if you throw in some extras.
  • Communication is key! If you need more time, are having trouble with a theme or whatever just let me know! I am very understanding.
  • I always try to rate (unless my crazy life gets in the way and I forget) and hope you will do the same.

Comment: I really liked the card that you made, as well as the fantastic modern shapes with the color blending and salt. Great way to use watercolor and pen that I had not thought of before. Thanks!

Comment: Nothing received. Will rerate if the swap shows up. EDIT 19. November 2011: I received the envelope today. Due date was 8th september, you clicked sent on 11.september. I am struggling here if i should give you a five rating or a 3. I decided for a three rating. Because you did not contact me that you would send 3 days late. You pmed me 25th september that you got the package back and will send it again. On the envelope are two dates: the date you go to the po and filled out the custom form 3. October and it looks like they forget the package on your post office because there are two additional stamps with the date 31. October. So maybe you could complain about it in your po? Your package was really nice, a lot of extras! Thank you! I love the inchies for the swap, you send 12 instead of 6 and they look beautiful. Thank you too for the stamps and the rubons. The pictures you sent are beautiful! Thanks for swapping with me, but please communicate with your partners more when you will send late.
Response: It was mailed weeks ago. I hope it arrives soon. :-) Update: I am very saddened by your response. I thought I communicated with you a lot. There were multiple messages. The problem was that the postal service took almost 2 months to deliver to Germany. I'm sad you gave me a three for a package that you liked.

Hi Shanda:
Have you received the ATC I sent you for the ATC with a Tree swap from the end of September? I haven't received a rating from you and had sent you a message on Oct 20 but it's unread. Please let me know if you received the swap. Thanks!

stephiedee on Aug 2, 2011:

Yay! I'm so happy you liked the package! I don't often get to put together bigger packages, so I really had fun getting this one together for you. Thanks for giving Holga a new home! I know you'll make good use of her - your photography is beautiful as it is. I can't wait to see what images you come up with! And, the bento box, well...like I said, I couldn't help myself :) If it doesn't work out for lunches you can always use it as storage! ((hugs))
