Favorite Crafts

I like making cell phone charms and jewelry, especially earrings. I'm learning knitting and crochet. I've recently got totally hooked on making ATCs. I hand draw many of mine, which has been great, because it has really gotten me feeling creative again.

I enjoy making crafts out of recycled materials.

I'm a doodler, and have tons of weird little sketches in all my notebooks from school and work.

Comment: As mentioned in my message I hate having to rate like this, but the parcel was sent 13 days late. I totally understand that things happen sometimes, but if you had just let me know there would be a delay, it wouldn't have been a problem. I did love what you sent though, and am truly grateful for it.

Comment: Thank you! The package finally got here. Since none of you other partners have yet rated for this swap, there must have been a bad mixup at the postoffice, for certain.. Hope you can work it out.

Comment: A great package! The stamps and the Superwholock stickers were my favorite, but I love everything. The London stickers should come in useful when I work on my scrapbook from my trip to London last year. The only thing I couldn't figure out immediately was the bunny. Then I remembered Bluebell! And a bonus book I haven't read. Thanks!
Response: I thought you'd dig the SuperWhoLock. Sorry Bluebell glows green instead of blue.

Comment: I had to make a separate list of "non-YA" female main characters when writing my list, so I was pleased to see your THREE lists! So many familiar faces and ones I haven't met yet. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and for the laughs as well :-)

Comment: Fabulous! Cassette tape eraser, ATC, all your great comments--I am so eager to read this book now! And I just finished earreading Divergent two days ago, so that's awesome timing with the postcard. I might copy down everyone's top ten lists in past/future swaps in the notebook (and add many of my own-I LOVE LISTS! Also, I am eager to check out some of the sites I'd not heard of); the notebook was so clever. And a John Green author trading card-YAY! I can't wait to wear the bracelets to BookCrossing meetups this summer. And I have such love for InuYasha. Awww. This whole collection of items is so fantastic. You did a great job hunting and creating!

Comment: I received this today. Sent a little late, but definitely worth the wait. This was an amazing package full of goodies this browncoat adores! The dress is definitely my favorite (love the wrench!). I put it up on my geek shelf at work next to the Star Trek engineer action figures (that seemed appropriate). The bag is fantastic; I love that it's handmade! I LOVE the stamps so much! And the stickers and an ATC and dino charm and memo pad and fortune cookie-ah! It was all perfect! Thank you!!!!!!!

Comment: Thank you for your list. I like the way you formatted it with the pictures of the books. There are a couple I haven't read that are on my list, and the Garth Nix book? Never heard of it, but will be adding it to my list :)

Comment: Thank you for your list and note. It was great to read through your list (you were correct: a lot I knew and a few I didn't!) and the reasons you chose what you did. And yet another reason I need to read Howl's Moving Castle this year! I loved the wardrobe you used for the list as well--clever!
