I love to stamp, make cards & alter just about anything! I would like to say that I scrapbook too, but I do more collecting of supplies then anything else! ;)

If you would like to do a "one on one" swap, please let me know! I am always "in need" of new stuff! If you do a specific craft & would like to trade something you make for some of my supplies, I may be up for that too!

**I would really like: Crocheted items like Flowers, Washcloths, Bulky handbag, coin purse etc **

Edited to add 04/02/2009 ** I broke my tailbone almost 2 weeks ago & have been up & down, so please be patient if I do not respond back to any e-mails....also, I am having computer problems, so I am going to have to take my Computer in to have it looked at.....I will not forget you! :) **

My name is Julie....besides being a Shopaholic, & Stamp Addict I am a Mom of 4.

I have 3 Girls Abby 9, Maggie 7 & Mollie 3 & a token little Male "Jack"son who just turned 5! My 2nd oldest Maggie was born with Down Syndrome. She is full of spunk and loves to keep me running! :)

I do not smoke or drink

I have 2 dogs, a 12 1/2 yo Cocker mix named Sassy and a 13 mon. old Blk. & Tan Doxie named Chloe & an old cat named Mindy. Did I mention the 3 Fish? ;)

I have been swapping online for about 5 years.....I used to swap over at PCMB, but currently only swap over at the SS and Splitcoaststampers.

I have my own Stamp Room, but I rarely "use" it because I am always moving my "stuff" wherever I am & then yes I leave it wherever too! So I have a Craft room in every room of the House!

My Hobbies are: stamping, cardmaking, papercrafting, taking pictures, reading & spending time with the kiddos!

I lived in Japan for 2 years, so I love the Japanese Culture!

About ratings & hearts and how I will rate you

I am a really easy going Swapper, but after years of Swapping I know what I like & dislike. I know when a Swapper is putting some thought & care into a Swap & when they are just sending stuff to get rid of it & get a rating. If you send me low quality stuff or thing's that I specifically list on my Profile that I do NOT want or need.....like cheap Craft Ribbon, or loose Beads, I will not give you a heart & will rate you accordingly.....whether you are new or old to Swap Bot. Please understand that I am not being mean or rude or whatever. I only sign up for Swap's that I know I can follow through with & try & send stuff that my fellow Swappers will enjoy. I know we can't always make everybody happy, but we can all sure make an effort can't we?

Currently reading the Twighlight Series, book #4. Love to read just about anything.....Jodi Picoult, Dean Koontz, John Saul, John Grisham, Alexander McCall-Smith...the list goes on!

Tracy Chapman (most people have never heard of her....Google her she is great!! I love to listen to her soulful music & just relax!) I also like Sheryl Crow, Garth Brooks, Nickelback, the typical top 40 stuff!

I admit it I am a Reality TV junkie! Love Big Brother, Survivor, Amazing Race, just about all of the TLC shows...... John & Kate plus 8, Little People Big world etc.

I also have a"dirty" little secret....I watch Soaps! I have watched the same 3 since I was like in 3rd grade! (AMC, One Life to Live & GH.)

My all time favorite movies are Footloose and The Doctor with Wm. Hurt!

I just watched The Curious Life of Benjamin Button with Brad Pitt and 7 Pounds with Will Smith and REALLY liked them too.

I love almost anything that I can use in my cardmaking/papercrafting endeavors.

My Favorite Color is: Light Purple. I also like Pink and Pink & Brown , Turquoise & Brown combos and other Shabby Chic combos. I like nice bright colors...no forest green or bright yellow or ugly darkish colors unless it looks good.

My Favorite Embellishments are: Jumbo & Glitter Brads, Glitter Dots, Bling Self Stick Rhinestones, Misc. Shaped Brads, Grosgrain Ribbon, and cute American Craft, Doodlebug & other cutesy ribbon...... shaped Chipboard....books, flowers etc.

I am in an "Owl" and other cute stamp type phase. I don't like ugly Owl stuff, only the cute whimsy stuff! ;)

Rubber Stamps: (Unmounted or Mounted)

I love Bellas from Stamping Bella (stampingbella.com), Hero Arts, Stampendous Changito Monkeys & Fluffles, Rubber Romance, MFT, GinaK, Whipper Snapper Designs, Penny Black, SU! & the list goes on!

I love most all of the Designer Cardstock and Patterned Paper....Cosmo Cricket, Doodlebug, My Mind's Eye, Bazzill, Prima, you name it!

I LOVE Daisy/Hydrangea type Prima Flowers.

I am a "collector" of supplies. Anything I can alter (or is already altered)....Target Mailboxes & Composition Books are my current fav's!

I am not really fond of Vintage Collage type stuff, and I am NOT into Religious referenced items being sent like Crosses.....I AM Christian

Nor am I into used, dirty or buttons from old clothes, ( If you want to send buttons, please only send colorful buttons that are new & that are flat and are Scrapbooking/Papercrafting quality.....like from Bo Bunny, Jesse James, MM, Doodlebug etc.) no stickers, unless they are of cute Owls, Monkeys, Frogs, Elephants, etc. . NO fiber of any kind, I have tons & have no use for it!

No discount craft items, wire/craft ribbon or cheap flower stuff for me. I don't need any small round eyelets, loose beads, paper die cuts, confetti, paint chips etc.

If it's damaged or used and smells like smoke, please do not send it to me. I am VERY sensitive to cigarette smoke.

Please NO food items this includes .....tea, hot cocoa, coconut. Exceptions See's Chocolate Suckers & light milk chocolate Beaurdeaux's and Japanese Tomato Pocky Sticks.**

I collect scrapbook & stamp supplies of all kinds. I am very much into buying the most up to date stuff.

I especially like Prima type Flowers because they make me happy just to put them in a clear bottle & look at them! :)

I used to have a HUGE collection of Dolphins, but have opened myself up to cute little elephants, monkeys & hippos too!

If you want to make me anything, that you are especially good at I would cherish it forever!
