About Me

ALWAYS FINDING ART PROJECTS IN STUFF AROUND ME (OTHER THAN THEIR INTENDED USES)

Favorite Music

classical (esp. baroque chamber)to country (jodee messina; alan jackson) but my pre-sets in my car are mostly on my public radio station. music is mp3 for walking (6- 8 mi. a day)

Favorite Crafts

attracted to that which glitters; fond of metalwork; like stained glass and mosaic. I tend to work big so I don't have use magnifiers ( a vision thing).

I love swaps b/c it brings me happy art mail!

Favorite Television

ONLY WATCH ONE SHOW- HEROES ( BUT I MANAGE TO MISS EVERY OTHER EPISODE)

when tvs go high-def only, i may not get one. I can't realy se t.v. very well, anyway. It is like radio to me.

Favorite Books

Yeah, lost my reading vision- so I don't do much of that any more.

i like blank books for art projects.

never met an altered book i did not like.

Volunteer

OTHER: Girl Scout leader (Brownies); they love a good craft; but the program is really about leadership development; lots of good teamwork and cooperation skill development in craft projects

i also train Cub Scout leaders.

Geo-politics

war makes me sad, breaks myheart and keeps me awake at night.

only buy fairly traded chocolate. google slavery, africa and chocolaate sometime. it will break your heart.

Favorite Color

PLAID ! (yes, it is a color)

Other-Other

OTHER-OTHER: love swaps; gives me something to do at lunch at work in a snaggy work situation (I love lunch)

3 kids- college age.

2 cats

love the northwoods, jack pine, and call of the waves of gitchigumee (longfellow)

Comment: Love your "Obama O's" treats. I had to smile at the idea of sportscasters doing the commentary. It almost sounds like a sketch on SNL! Thank you! I'm so excited for this administration too!

Comment: THIS IS SO GREAT!! Our family had the best time trying to guess and even after we opened the coasters...well, it took us a few more minutes ...giggle...Thank you so much, we will cherish it :D
Response: Whoops! I just found the note on my desk that was supposed to go in with the coasters to explain it! Oh well, I'm glad you had fun solving it as though it was an extra puzzle.

Comment: Thank you so very much for the pink Santa! I put him on a shelf above my desk, he's going to cheer me on. Very skillfully made, too. He makes me smile. Great job! And I loved the butterfly stickers, too. Hugs, Malgosia [Keti]

Comment: Amazing swap! Thanks! and the bonus apron was a real thrill! I'll be wearing them layered as I pass out candy for Halloween, how wonderful!
Response: Now here are a few things Mrs. Tate from Home Ec would never have imagined. Layering aprons (I heartily approve of the concept!); the internet and personal computers; and trading your Home Ec project away when it becomes vintage! Happy Halloween!

Hi there!! I'd like to invite you to join my Button Scavenger Hunt swap :)

Guitartists on Sep 5, 2008:

I did indeed Google slavery and chocolate, and I read a few articles before I finally got to one that listed producers and their partial involvement in child slavery through their purchase of Ivory Coast cocoa. Geesh, pretty much every major manufacturer I have ever known :( It's deeply saddening.

I did get the frame but not a cup. Maybe it will come soon?

May the wind always be at your back and the road rise up to meet you...

Hello fellow swappers If you’ve been keeping an eye on my profile you may have noted the address changed a couple of times. That’s because in the last few weeks I’ve made two very unexpected moves and fallen behind on my swaps. As this is my first lot with swapbot im feeling highly embarrassed about the way it’s gone so far. I pride my self on being on time, always and this is quite frustrating to me.

I wanted to offer all my partners my most sincere and heartfelt apologies – I will be posting all of my swaps out this week or early next, but they ARE going out. You have most certainly NOT been forgotten or flaked on. My limited access to the net of late has also caused this apology also to be late, but I am on top of it and I have some pretty things to put in the post as soon as I can get to the post office.

Warmest wishes belili
