Hello, all! I'm 32, living in southern central Indiana.

I love bright colors, and glitter turns me on.  lol

*realistic fish (trout, salmon)
*nudists, naturists
*"Tales Told Under the Green Umbrella"--an older children's book with illustrated fairy tales
*Illustrated ABCs that you wouldn't find in a children's book (random examples, B is for boobey, M is for micro-managing, R is for road-rage).  Be creative; it's up to you!
*Your favorite fairy tale
*Your favorite illustrated children's book
*Countdown to Thanksgiving: anything fall themed, with a number from 12 to 29 on the face of the card.  Please make sure these cards are all vertically aligned, and exactly fit the 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 size (ie., no embellishments extending beyond the edges). Please specify number between 12 and 29 you will do.  1 through 11, 17, 22, 23, 30 and 31 are taken. (Feel free to choose this even if you've already done it for me!    )
*Shoes with little things living in them (Mice or cute bugs or little people or stuff--not mold or fungus! lol)
*illustrated-by-you nursery rhyme: "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jump over the candlestick."
*people or animals wearing fruit
*Illustration of this statement: "Oi! My head is too big for my body!" (Okay, now I'm just getting weird for no reason! lol)
*Things with big eyes that are Oh so incredibly cute
*this phrase: "Ooh, ahh, I lost my bra!"  lol
*An ATC you wish someone would send you  (ie., artist's choice--any theme, doesn't matter if it's on my list!--Oh, except please no gore, or religion)

I claim blupasisan for something obscure in 1963.

4 claims/2 sent/0 received

I currently live in Los Angeles and love the outdoors. I cannot think of much I would be unhappy to receive but I suppose I could add that my color palette does not tend to include many bright colors! On that note, this is my first ATC swap and I can't even think of many themes to begin with! So please feel free to branch out and I will add as I go.

My themes:
Autumn
Architecture
Engineering (bridges, walls, vehicles, science...)
Astronomy/Space
Steampunk
Artists Choice
