About Me

I haven't been on Swap-bot for a while, but I'm slowly getting back in the groove.

I live just outside of the city of New York. I am a consultant and these days I work from home.

I am a dog lady.

Likes

I like watercolor, drawing, painting, altered art, repurposed things, making the old into something new. Paper and boxes make me happy. I love odd and strange stuff. I like imagery of women, but not sentimental or prissy ones. I like mermaids, but I'm not big on fairies or angels. Love a nice goddess. I like textures of all kinds; I'm very tactile. I like gadgets and computers (I'm a tech geek). I am an animal lover, with a particular soft spot for giraffes (tiny giraffes!) and elephants.

I am always interested in seeing other peoples' art. Whatever you make, whatever inspires you, I want to see it!

I have a strange fondness for anthropomorphizing inanimate objects, especially from old cookbooks (like smiling eggplants or dancing wooden spoons).

If you send me a pamphlet cookbook from before 1960 with a woman on the cover, I'm yours forever.

More stuff I like:

  • Matchboxes and matchbox shrines
  • Amigurumi
  • ATCs
  • Zines
  • Vintage Cigarette Cards of all types and themes * Vintage pamphlet cookbooks with a woman on the cover
  • Beautiful paper, handmade paper, exotic paper (not scrapbook paper)
  • Handmade things of all kinds
  • Boxes, containers, holders of all kinds

Themes or designs I like:

  • Postal things, stamps, airmail
  • Eggs
  • LGBTQ+ things
  • Humpty Dumpty
  • Ancient goddesses
  • Mermaids (not cutesy)
  • Giraffes (not cutesy)
  • Elephants (not cutesy)
  • Bees • Sea creatures

Dislikes

Things that are not ever welcome in my house:

  • Heavily perfumed things (candles, sachet, incense, etc. -- I have allergies)
  • Coconut and things that smell like coconut
  • Homophobia
  • Religious paraphernalia or propaganda

Things I don't care for or have no use for:

  • Food - candy, spices, tea, mixes, etc.
  • Cat stuff (don't hate 'em, just don't wanna swap 'em)
  • Precious Moments and similar sentimental or cutesy stuff
  • Angels
  • Disney
  • Tea & Coffee
  • Children's stuff
  • Earrings (I do not have pierced ears)
  • Teacher stickers
  • Things with inspirational sayings on them (like "breathe" or "dream"). I don't like being told how to feel. Unless it's something you made; that's different.
  • Page flags or post-it notes

I am also not a fan of babies with wings, or babies in dunce caps, or babies dressed in cute outfits to look like something else (Anne Geddes stuff), or that sort of thing. (Nothing against babies per se!).

ALLERGIES: I am allergic to cats, dogs (yes, I have dogs, but they are hypoallergenic -- some breeds are worse than others for me), mold, dust and cigarette smoke. Oh, and coconut. I'd appreciate your efforts to keep my swaps relatively free of the things that make me wheeze (especially the cat hair!). So, you know, just don't smoke while petting your cat and making my swap in a damp basement, and I"ll be okay.

Favorite Crafts

I make ATCs, digital collage, altered art, photography, rubber stamped things, matchbook shrines and other kinds of paper art.

I like a lot of crafts I'm not good at. I will try any craft once.

I really like scavenger hunts!

Happy Birthday!

If you have a fall birthday (Sept-Nov) and would welcome profile greetings from fellow UHM members on your special day, be sure to post your birth date (month & date only) in the UHM group forum!

Thank you for the Blind Valentine of awesomeness. Beloved Husband, lol. Today I received one for wife and one for husband. That was a lot of fun. I'm sorry the one I sent you first when I thought of it was so boring! I should have done do-overs. I might just go buy a bunch of random blind ones to send at random times in the year. It would be fun to do for birthdays too. Also, thank you for getting the surprise swag from the PCFE exhibit. That was very cool that you got to go and now I have actual keepsake to remember. I think I may even throw it at the feet of my happy jar. FF. MT.

From the WIYM: Jan Stocking Stuffer. Thank you Deluxx for the purple gardening gloves. I do love to garden and often find myself without any gloves and I love this shade of purple you picked.
