MicaShell

My name is Michelle. Crafting and jewelry making are among my favorite hobbies. I also enjoy camping, hiking, and atv's. I was dumbstruck when I originally found this site. It was so amazing to find so many people who had a hobby like mine and wanted to share it with others. I have recently taken a break from swapbot but hope to get back into it.

I love paper crafting of all sorts. I make mini-album journals, ATC's, bookmarks, earrings, bits to add to other projects, decorated stickpins. I get so excited when I find a new craft swap with an altered item I haven't seen before.

My favorite swapping delight is mail art. I have been inking up and stamping envies, then adding washi tape, rhinestones or whatever pulls at me at that moment to add to them. I really enjoy reading my swap partners profile and including items I think they would like in the envelopes.

News: I just opened an etsy store and am in the process of adding new items at this point I sell earrings but I am hoping to add other craft creations. Please check me out in the link under my name at the top of my profile!

• I love french country, garden, spring and shabby chic, artsy, whimsical, and gypsy themes. I also like lots of deep, bright jewel type colors with lots of detailed patters and textures.

• I like flowers, butterflies, fleur De lis, nature, camping, inspiring Christian or otherwise quotes.

• I really like all colors. My favorite color is teal closely followed by blues, pinks, purples, greens, yellows....I did mention I like all colors right?
