Pancakes

So last month my computer started randomly getting the blue screen and shutting off when i was in the middle of being on it, it became worse and worse until it finally decided to just crash and not turn back on no matter what i did. Nick looked at it and tried to get it up and running to no avail. I finally got enough money to take it in and get it looked at and there were several viruses, one being very advanced that actually went into the antivirus software i had, so i didnt even know that my computer was unprotected. As a result, i havent had any computer access, therefore havent been able to check my swap partners. I will work as quickly as possible to get them back out and message every one of my swap partners. Thank you for your understanding and i apologize to anyone and everyone who has not received a swap from me yet.

Please be patient and know that I WILL rate you, it's not fair to not acknowledge that someone sent you something, even if you didn't like it (not saying I didn't like some of the things I got, just making an extra point that EVERYONE deserves to be rated.) I hate non raters..I've actually had a lot of them lately. Just know that your rating(s) are coming soon!!! Also, if you have any other questions concerning ANYTHING please contact me

! Please put what swap you're in & your swapbot name. Its hard to track down people when there's so many swaps you're in. People deserve to be rated, but it makes it hard without enough information !

~My picture is of me holding this HUGE curly fry pretending its a mustache ={D That was my freshman year of high school hehe

My name is Brittany and incase you're wondering, Pancakes is my newly adopted puppy. She has big floppy ears that look like pancakes!

I love a variety of crafts and take a lot of time and consideration when making something. Usually the crafts I take on are for myself so I take a lot of time planning and working on them. I can't draw, and I'm not as creative as some people, but I love using my imagination when I have an idea on where to go with it. I like to work with things that don't have much creativity (collages, crocheting with patterns etc) It's reassuring to me that I don't have to worry how something will turn out in the end, hard to explain I guess..

I love doing collages and making composition notebook covers with them, I made my boyfriend one with all the Pokemon & when I tried to bring it to my house to scan it he snatched it back & called me an indian giver =(

So practically any stickers that aren't clear would be much appreciated! (I just don't want the journal cover to show through.) I'm currently making one with stickers that remind me of memories Nick & I have together, & I'm writing all the memories down in the back of the book so that 5 years later we don't go, "whats that stupid looking penguin for???" I've also started one in a halloween theme, and plan on making one with all my favorite stickers that are in my keep pile =D So ANY stickers in a love theme, so long as its not the cheesy animal stickers that say 'i woof you,' or the typical square ones made mostly for kids etc lol. So give me all those leftover halloween stickers!!! I would be forever in your debt!!!

The entire wall infront of my computer in my room is covered from edge to edge with printed pictures of large flowers of all different colors and shapes. I love it =)

• **MAGIC THE GATHERING CARDS!!! They're with all the pokemon/trading cards. It doesn't matter which kind you get, I'm just starting out so any cards would help!! The little 15 card booster packs are nice, but anything would be greatly appreciated! ~I already have the fire and lightning deck and the 2011 core set intro pack in blue and white, but trust me there are lots of others!

I've also finally gotten all the supplies to start learning how to crochet (yay christmas!!), so yarn would be awesome..but don't be lame and send a 5 inch string of yarn or the scratchiest you can find. I'm loving Caron Simply Soft yarn..it's really soft =p I'm having a hard time getting my hands on Lemonade and Grape though. I already have hooks but ANY books or magazines (doesnt matter how old they are) without intricate, 'I'm going to build a roller coaster out of yarn,' patterns would be helpful.

I love making bead sprites. I hang them up on my walls too...I'm running out of space =( If you'd like a little bead sprite then let me know!

• Stickers (sandy lion/grossman/ any of those sticker 'squares' are awesome. I grew up with them, but i like a large variety of stuff) any pokemon, simpsons, dinosaur, disney, medieval, magic, halloween, music related, roses, kawaii, candy/sweets!!! I love miniature stuff so a cute little candy sticker always makes me happy =) No teacher/reward please and please nothing with faces on it either...like smileys. Things that are SUPPOSED to have faces, like animals/people/kawaii, are definitely alright though. *quality stickers..by quality I mean in good condition and sticky..hence why theyre called STICKers

• Stationary/ Any size notepads that are cute or pretty (I can live without the matching envelopes.) Just something to write on for my swaps and such.

• Keychains & charms =)

• Fun erasers..I've seen a set of rainbow colored ones that look like crayons and would LOVE to have them!

  • Purple is my favorite color and I like blues, greens, reds, black!, orange, yellow, anything bright besides pink unless its with a group of other colors

  • Love Halloween and its colors. If you like making halloween themed things, even if its not that time of year, then PLEASE send me something! A decorated matchbox, ATC, stickers, something awesome of that theme. My favorite season is Autumn.

• puzzle SHAPED things, like ribbon with a puzzle print, or charms..just no actual puzzle pieces. Idk what it is but I love them!

• Awesome little stuffed animals or an amigurumi, I'm slowly learning how to make them myself but I would still love to receive one!
  • Figures and figurines from shows and games I like
• dinosaurs
• giraffes!!!!!..I'm starting to notice a collection forming..
  • disney memorabilia (the older classics that pretty much every child grew up with)
• i'm not really into kawaii but i do like the food characters, just not really into the animals
• fruit, sweets & food objects, like stickers, erasers, charms, keychains, stationary...
• Unique/Foreign Chocolate
• I also like animals that are printed on baby blankets and clothes cuz of how cute they're made to look. They have big eyes and instead of being a scary alligator its an adorable little creature that you wana go out and pet =).

• pokemon figures, movies and series-my favorites are ampharos, weedle, shuckle, hoot hoot, tyranitar, flygon, chatot, togepi, dragonair, salamence, vulpix, drifloon & drifblim, any ghost types, arbok, dragonite, & my boyfriend likes to annoy me with croagunk & butterfree noises and creep me out with golbats' icky huge lockjaw

  • decorated boxes...they don't have to be handmade but I have a lot of stuff and I'm ocd when it comes to having everything organized. Handmade would be greatly appreciated but if you happen to have some boxes (that aren't just brown cardboard) laying around then I'm the one to give them to! I'm still waiting for a decorated matchbox to come my way, I can't wait to see one.

IF YOU'RE CREATIVE....

Then make me something! Creativity has always been a trait I've wished to have. I would LOVE to recieve your crafts. For me, its not so much about getting a present its about seeing others' talents and things that are capable of being made. It would be fun to see all the different crafts/styles around the world and learn how to make some of them. I go crazy with excitement when I learn a new craft. ATC's, Matchboxes (would really love one of these), Drawings, Inchies, Skinnies, anything!

• I absolutely LOVE trying new foods (and crafts), so anything food related, as long as its not spicy or sour, would be great...anything unusual as long as it isn't TOO far out of the box. fruit, candy!, chocolate!, snacks, something I might not have in Washington, or the USA for that matter!

NICK LIKES...(anything related to..)

• Magic:The Gathering Cards (Its a game that I don't understand but am slowly learning..they can be found with the pokemon cards and all the other ones) This would be his favorite thing to receive if you did want to send him something
• Republican anything except bumper stickers
• Metroid
• Dragons
• Dnd (dangit....)
• Star Wars

Jewelry making used to be a big hobby of mine until I found Perler beads and started making bead sprites, so I have A LOT of beads, wire, chain, pins, etc lying around in containers. I tend to go all out when I find a new hobby but then mostly ditch it when I find something new.

• beanie babies/ buddies! 3 huge tubs full of them!
• seashells...theyre currently being stored in a lunchbox so I dont use them much
• I can also handmake envies, big and small

I'm a disney fan. Sword in the Stone is my all time favorite disney movie, and Nightmare Before Christmas is a close second, All the old stuff but not anything too girly. Princess' don't bother me, its just the corny stuff I don't care for..hard to explain I guess.. Beauty & the beast, snow white, sleeping beauty, alice in wonderland, little mermaid, dumbo, lion king, just ANY of the earliest disney movies. No Mickey, Looney Toons, Tinkerbell or Pooh please...

My favorite tv shows are..

Invader Zim, Courage the Cowardly Dog, South Park, Tosh.0, The Simpsons (although I burnt myself out trying to watch every season on dvd), Pokemon

Persons Unknown (stupid ending. stupid.), Forensic Files, The Investigators, (I love crime/mystery) Hell's Kitchen, americas next top model (cliche I know), project runway, Bones, CSI, law & order:svu, supernatural, monk, legend of the seeker!, reaper, House, pretty much everything thats been or is soon to be canceled for no good reason =(

I love video games. Almost all of my art is based off of a video game or tv show. I always have a game that Im playing at the time. I'm not a fan of shooters or games without a plot. RPG all the way for me.

I love the Paper Mario series (and anything else mario) they're SO fun Luigi's Mansion was super fun but too short =( Kingdom Hearts series, Final Fantasy 9 is my favorite game of all time. Legend of Dragoon
Pokemon (Ampharos, Shuckle, weedle & dragon-type & ghost type are my favorites), Wild Arms 1 and 2 were fun, Banjo-Kazooie series, Anything Zelda, Spyro!!!, Sly Cooper, Drakan, Super Mario Galaxy, Oblivion,

My Personal Views

*I'm not into politics or religion, you might be, but I am not. So please keep it to yourself. I have my own thoughts and beliefs reguarding the matter and frankly I'm tired of wars, arguements, and hatred coming from people with different beliefs, and different races. Its sick a person can think they're better than someone else because of a color. And I'm sure there are people out there that like the color brown, but wont tolerate 'brown' people. It's laughable that racism is still an issue. And I mean that in a "wow thats so ridiculously stupid that I can laugh at the people that think they're superior" type laugh. Not a "haha racism is funny," BECAUSE ITS NOT.. treat others with kindness. Different people have gone through hell, so don't make it worse. I also don't appreciate hatred towards gay, lesbian, and bi people. Not all of them choose to be that way. If you get married and over time, you're just not attracted to that person anymore, more than likely you'll get a divorce. You can't force yourself to be attracted to something, and you can't force yourself to like a certain food or activity so how is sexual orientation any different? And if you're curious, I'm caucasian and straight. But I do stand up for people that are different. I also think wearing a dead animal is rather sick....not a vegetarian but come on..show some respect. Food is one thing, degrading is another.
