I love anything handmade!! ANYTHING that you put your creative efforts into will be appreciated by me!

I most especially love decorated envelopes and mail art. IMO an envelope not decorated is not worth sending. But I would never rate down if this is not part of the swap...just something I really enjoy...seeing a decorated envelope in my mailbox.

I love making cards from recycled and repurposed items...recycled wrapping paper, tissue paper, office paper, vintage games, vintage papers, used greeting cards, magazine clippings, paper scraps.

I create other stuff (jewelry, magnets, decorations) as well from recycled tiles, floor boards, old watch parts, recycled fabrics, things found in nature, etc.

I have a SERIOUS addiction to free stuff, curb alerts, freecycle, rummaging, dumpsters, trash piles, thrift stores and yard sales!

My RecycLoves shop is on esty at: recycloves.etsy.com

Other stuff I love:

*trees and nature in general

*the ocean

*owls

*weird, strange, horror images and things

*unique playing cards

*vintage stuff (70's)

*stickers

*rubber stamps

*handmade items

*animals

*art made from nature

*handmade drawings

*magnets

*rainbows

*pirate ships/ships

*teeny tiny things

*little dishes/bowls

*peacocks

*Totoro and all Hayao Miyazaki characters

*anything strange and out of the ordinary

If you are in a swap that involves my daughter, she likes:

*dragons

*cats

*zoo animals

*books

*dogs

*chickens

I will reiterate, I absolutely love anything that is handmade. I find everyone's art and craft work to be inspiring.

If you're swapping with me...I welcome all of the above!! Everything old is new again!

Things I do not like/don't want/don't need:

*Anything Disney (!!!) and other main stream/movie characters

*anything fragrant, or smelly in any way. If I receive something that smells of cigarettes, it goes right into the trash...that's how sensitive I am to it. So if in doubt, I would rather you not send it.

*small tiny stickers that get lost in the shuffle and teacher reward stickers

*tiny scraps of paper. I have enough...overflowing containers!!!

Thanks for swappin'!!
