I claim Jillybeans for fancy animals

1/0/0

Hi, I’m An (javaannie) and I live in the Kansas City Metro area (USA) with my DH of 12 years and our 11 y.o. daughter. I have a small retail space where I sell repurposed, vintage, and handmade items. I’m also a freelance pastry chef. I like pretty much all colors, but I’m especially fond of brown, apple green and robin’s egg blue. I’m not into the whole zombie/skull thing and I’m not a fan of glitter. Please nothing religious or scented. I am allergic to smoke, my eyes & throat swell. Other than that, I am up for anything. You can check out my pinterest for further inspiration, or just ask.

My name is Olivia and I live in southern California, USA. I'm not really into super girly stuff, so please use pinks and pastels sparingly.  Tasteful nudity welcome! I tend to shy away from religious and political topics.

I love all the ABC projects and have been wanting to start one of my own.  It's been difficult to come up with an original theme because everyone's are so great, but I think I have finally found one that speaks to me.  Famous Monsters ABCs!  I haven't seen this yet, so if someone else already did it, sorry for copying, it was unintentional.

My themes:
Famous Monsters ABCs -all letters available! (vertical & 2d only as I plan to frame when complete- I prefer to avoid the phrase "__ is for__" but would rather prefer just the name of the monster, but if it's a crucial element of your design then go for it! I wouldn't want to cramp your artistic style
a Victorian horror
Medusa
Catrinas
owls
fuzzy moths
toads
ravens
beatles
butterflies
bunnies
California wildlife
skeletal systems
skulls
Day of the Dead / Dia de los Muertos
the bride of Frankenstein
anthropomorphism
Cthulhu
Edgar Allan Poe
Vincent Price
Lon Chaney (Sr.)
Charles Chaplin
Billie Holiday
The Walking Dead
human-animal hybrids
conjoined twins
Tasmanian wolf (aka Tasmanian tiger)
Dodo bird
extinct animals (no dinos please)

I'm Cynthia in Blacksburg, VA (home of the Virginia Tech Hokies).  42yo, child-free, happily married.  I love family traditions, gardening, crafting, traveling, and doing new things.  I love living in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near the Appalachian trail, where there are four seasons every year.

Here's my list!

herbs
vegetables
dogs
buddhism
goddesses
Dave Matthews Band
ravens
skulls
interesting animal group names*

1st claim, 0 sent and received

Yay! I am happy to be returning to the ATC swap.
My name's Robin, and I live in fabulous multicultural urban downtown Toronto, Canada, with the two cuddliest cats in the world.  I am privileged to work in the labour movement, so my day job is time consuming and stressful and awesome, and I use arts and crafts as my therapy and happy quiet time.

I like things that are unique, interesting, silly, or edgy or sophisticated,  and mostly I just want to see what you dream up and make.  I'm ok with profanity, sexuality, politics, just nothing disrespectful or hateful of other people.

Here's the list of themes I threw together for this month:

Robots
altered photograph
silkscreen/linocut/etching
tiny quilt atc
The Hobbit
tattoos
Sons of Anarchy (tv series)
winter 
Diego Rivera
animals  in clothes – gentleman style
raccoons
pixelated

Happy craftin!

HI, I'm Robin. I moved in April 2012 to Panama City, Florida and am LOVING the beach life …………………My DH and I have always wanted to live at the “beach” and when he got a job offer, we decided to go for it and make the move. We really thought we’d have to wait till retirement to be able to live at the beach but we’ve been blessed to be able to enjoy it now. We finally bought a house on the water (not on the beach, but it's on a canal that leads to the ocean about a mile inland). It's an older house, and we are renovating like crazy people. It actually only needing some major updating; it was stuck in the 70s :-) We are almost complete,  but it's been hard work but also alot of fun. I can tell I'm getting older (47) cuz painting ceilings and walls at this age is alot harder than when I was in my 20s/30s, hahaaaaaa.   I  have a designated craft room in this house. It's not quiet as large as my last one, but that's ok, I've de-stashed and gotten rid of alot of excess baggage. Moving is good for that!

(Oh, and my alphabet ATC collection is COMPLETE!!! WOOHOO!!!.  I’m waiting on one last card which should be here any day.  Once I get them all framed, I’ll post a picture on Craftster.  And a HUGE thank you to everyone that helped me complete this task.  It was 26 letters for the alphabet PLUS 11 additional letters for my last name)

My themes:
Beach or Beach related (flip flops, beach ball, ocean scene, palm trees, etc)
Seahorse
Mermaid (please make her a modest mermaid, no nudity)
Stitched, sewn, embroidered
Knitting
Owls
Pink Flamingo
Pelican
Buttons
Wool Felt
Crazy quilting


Thanks for crafting for me.
