Nov 13': Thank you so much for all the kind msg. I am now able (and willing ;) ) to do private package swaps. No crafting or hosting though.

April 13': I am back, but on a different level than before. I'm still up for private swaps - both crafts and supplies. I won't be hosting any group swaps however as that's still too stressfull...

March '13: I am making appearances but am not all back yet.

January '13: I am going to take a break as swapbot has become a stress factor instead of a fun factor. I'll look in once in a while, but on a weekly/bi-weekly basis.

Im a delightfully random crafter from Denmark. I think Swapbot is full of wonderful opportunities to use my scrapping stash in small manageable creations :).

I only join swaps (apart from the ones I host) when I have the craft already made. This way I dont get stressed out and just have fun putting swaps together:).

My group involvements:

Founder of Robsessed Twihards

Private Swaps:

Im always up for private swaps. It can be for a specific craft (ATC etc) or for craft supplies. I have tons of ephemera! And barrels of trinkets, thingy-majingies etc :D. And if you have kids, I probably have something for them in one of my drawers too:D.

THINGS LOOKING FOR NEW HOMES:
- postcards (new/used, tourist/not-tourist)
- eyelets
- tea-bag wrappers
- ephemera-packs (book pages, music sheets, maps...)

Mainly paper crafts; ATC, inchie, twinchie, match boxes. Decoupage, scrapping, fuse beading (Hama beads, PerlerBeads). I can also do basic knitting and crocheting - and have a mum who is known as the Knitting Monster - so there is always help at hand :D Stylewise I like things to have an edge instead of being too cute ;) I like steampunk, vintage, retro, art nouveau, pop art.

ATC collection:
I like that there is a thought behind the ATC so it's not just decoration. That figures have a character.
As to themes I like owls, mushrooms, blue and orange together, the quirky, play on words, satire/irony, Alice in Wonderland (all versions), Twilight (not necessarily with movie pictures), Robert Pattinson (not necessarily as Edward:D).

Not in to: zentangles, gory, DOTD, religions
