Born2dance

I said good bye awhile ago. But I've had time to recharge and get my creativity going again. I'm back with so much to do and to experience - art, dance, music, learn something new, go back to school, LIFE!

To all of my wonderful swap partners, thank you, thank you, thank you! You have shared your artistry, your humor and your love of snail mail with me. I give you all a 5 with lots of hearts! I am forever enriched and grateful.

Classically trained dancer who is now experiencing belly dancing and traditional hula dancing.

Love the theater, symphony and dance recitals. Opera is on my never again list.

Love to take classes to meet new people and learn new things.

Not a tea drinker, from Seattle so am a Starbucks addict.

Am a dog person since I am allergic to cats.

Have tried knitting, needlepoint and crocheting at various times in my life and have failed to master even the basics. All 3 on my never again list.

Love to wander off the main road and discover quaint, quirky places.

Love chocolate, chick flicks that make me cry and/or laugh, books that I can't put down, Christmas and Halloween, music that makes me want to dance.

Love quotes and signs that make me stop and say "Huh..."

Colors: I like most colors except fluorescent colors and I am definitely not a pink person. My favorite color is red and I love anything that sparkles!

Crafts: I don't knit, crochet, embroider or quilt. I do like to make jewelry, draw, journal. I have found out that creating ATC's is just not my thing which is very sad because I really think they are interesting and very cool. So I will stick to creating postcards and wisdom books. My current obsession is learning how to fuse glass.

If there is a choice between store bought and handmade, feel free to send me a handmade card. I am always interested in someone else's art. Also, please send postcards naked. Thanks!

Not interested in cutesy items like Hello Kitty or the Twilight vampire craze. Also no religious items, please.

• Postcards (art, interesting architecture, seascapes, funky, retro, black & white, vintage)
• Bookmarks
• Beads (anything colorful or that sparkles)
• Paper (decorative, mixed media, patterned, textured and floral, collage)
• Temporary Tattoos (henna, hearts, angels)
• Anything to do with dancing

Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.

Don't cry when the sun is gone, because the tears won't let you see the stars.

go for long walks, indulge in hot baths, question your assumptions, be kind to yourself, live for the moment, loosen up, scream, curse the world, count your blessings, just let go, just be
