I am in the process of moving to Georgia (from PA). Will update when I am unpacked - back up and running!

MY FAVORITE CRAFTS: Scrapbooking, Mixed media & altered art, Stamping and Embossing, making cards or any other paper crafts.
I have been "scrapbooking" since my teens - only it didn't have a name then. "Back then" I made everything myself. When they started coming out with supplies just for scrapbooking I was thrilled - and I started collecting!! I have a huge craft room with TONS of supplies to choose from to swap!

• I have over 700 skeins of fancy fibers
• Boxes and boxes of rolls of ribbons
• Every kind of scrapbooking embellishment: charms, tags, brads, eyelets, etc...
  • Glass slides
• Antique book pages - naturally distressed. Some with formulas, charts, graphs, recipes, pictures
• Chipboard and Grungeboard
• Souvenier items from USA

• Anything with bugs on it
• "reward" type stickers and the free ones you get in products.
• Incense or anything with a strong flower or perfume scent.
• Anything sour, or super sticky chewy (like Mary Janes, airheads, any taffy)
• coconut, meringue, nougat
• Dark, white or cheap chocolate

• Angels/cherubs, Crosses (NOT crucifixes)
• Frida Kahlo
• Chocolate - I LOVE CHOCOLATE - Milk chocolate, the creamier the better! I love it alone or with peanut butter, caramel, raisins, sunflower seeds - almost anything is good with milk chocolate on it!
• Cafe~Tasse Lait Nougat Chocolat Fin Artisanal Bruxelles-Brussels I received a bar of this in a swap and it was incredible!!
• City, State and/or Country souvenier magnets. I especially love map magnets. ***I really want to collect magnets in the shape of every state in America - but I'm having a very hard time finding them!
• I Love Tinkerbell, fairies, flamingos, daisies ,sunflowers but I also have a dark side and a fascination of the macabre and I love
• vampires, horror movies,
• Tote Bags, I have an odd obsession with tote bags! The bigger the better.
• CHRISTMAS - The birth of my Savior! I don't do too much of the "santa" thing, but I do love vintage Christmas images even with santa in them. I love decorating with gingerbread men, angels, and lights. Other fav's - eggnog, cookies, bright sparkling lights, Christmas music, GIVING, family & friends together, pretty wrapped presents
