Swap Info
Since everyone seems to have one on Craftster I thought I would join the club and do a list of Swap Info for any future swap partners.

Name: Tanya
Age: 20
Bday: June 13
Location: So. California
School: 3rd year, major is accounting, going to school full time
Work: Work at the city library, part time, as a library aid
Activities:
Crafting, reading, watching movies, ebay, browse through shops, fabric shopping. I am a kid at heart. For my 19th Bday I had a moonbounce (jumper), pinata, and lots of candy. For my birthday every year at least one friend gets me a bucket of sidewalk chalk. I love to play in the front yard either drawing dinosaurs on the sidewalk or making a relay race for people (aka me and my nephew) to go through. I love to hula hoop. I own 4 hula hoops and am quite good at it. I love hammocking. is that even a word? I love summer days sitting/laying out on the front porch on my hammock. I abosolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE to color. I have all sorts of coloring books and always looking for more. My favorite one I own is a Barbie and the Rockers coloring book. I own tons of crayons because everytime a crayone breaks I have to buy a new set. and no I can't just replace the broken one from another box. The crayons have to stay with their original set, no mixing. I own kid toys like a light bright, a 3d viewer, barrel of monkeys, and my room is filled with little toys and decorations. I also love those metal tv dinner trays. I have an awesome dinosaur one. I collect 1" pins and other wierd random pins to put on my purse. My favorite is one that says "Don't be a wastefull Wally" with a picture of a guy using a water hose. the city water dept gave them out for free.

Crafts:
I am learning to knit, i know a bit of crochet, basic sewing, altered books, some scrapbooking

I would like to learn:
bookbinding, screenprinting, felting

Movies: anything with tom hanks, E.T., TOY STORY-woody's my favorite, Nightmare before Christmas, Robin Hood, Alice in wonderland, Pinocchio, and Chicken Little.
I like non cartoon Disney movies (i used to work at Disneyland and I loved it) too, I especially love lindsay lohan movies. I love Herbie fully loaded and Freaky Friday (i loved the orginal too).
I also love disney soundtracks (i dont have any but i know/love the songs). Burned cds are cool. I love movie soundtracks, I have Freaky Friday soundtrack, Herbie, Wedding singer, Walk the Line, and toy story.

Symbols/Characters/Themes:
Stars are my favorite. dinosaurs, HIS/HER or BOY/GIRL themed, cowboy/cowgirl, robots, outter space, ufo/alien.

Colors:
I love pink but i dont wear it clothing wise. I like dark or bright pink not pale or baby pink. Anything for my room should be dark blue. I wear grays and lots of browns, beiges, green combos. I also like simple black and white.

Style:
I like things simple that i can mix and match with. I dont like wearing stuff with words on it unless its a button. I like country-ish looks like plaid shirts with jeans. I also like girly styles like the look of jean skirts with leggings. I like cute fitted tops. and i also like tunic type shirts cause they are long. I like shirt/dresses. I like casual and comfy.

Tops:
I wear a lot of tank tops, especially during summer. (I go to the beach a lot during summer)
I like country/western style-things with a sherrif star or a cowboy boot or something of the sort. A shirt with Woody would be awesome.
I like ballet style tops, tank tops, halters, and shirts with wide necks.
i like my shirts to be long since i have a long upper body.

Bottoms:
A like to wear jeans mostly but I want to start wearing skirts more. I just dont have any. I like long mid thigh to knee legnth skirts. For pants I need like a 33-34 in inseam.

Hair:
I love hair stuff. I love bobbypins, headbands, clips, barrettes, everything. I didn't used to like things with big flowers or anything bulgy or sticking out, but I recently wore my hair in a messy bun and those were the perfect accessories. I got a pair of bobbypins with crocheted flowers that I LOVE using in my hair. The big stuff is good. I would love to get a hawaiianish flower on a clip to wear during summer when I am at the beach. I also like little clips as well with little jewels or decoration at the end. I use a lot of bobbypins. My favorite pair of hair clips i have are ones in the shapes of spiders and bats.
I also long for a knitted hat in black.

Feet:
I have big feet since I am tall. I wear a 9.5 or 10
I love converse. I have a pair that fell apart that I stitched back together with different colored thread. I get tons of compliements cause it looks like something punk Brewster would wear lol.
I love socks! I like them with stripes, spots, hearts, stars, everything. Knee high, ankle high, calf high, and everything in between. I would love a pair of socks that play music. I used to get them for my dad every christmas when I was little; I want a pair for myself now I can't find them anywhere. I would also LOVE a pair of knitted socks.

Something WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE themed. this is mine and my bf's favorite book. what i would really like are some matching tee shirts. or just iron-ons would be cool. Anything with this theme would be totally awesome!

So anything to help add to our little theme like tee shirts (or iron ons) that say BOY and GIRL would be cool. or journals/notecards to write letters/notes to each other. we dont live together so something like hand towels wouldnt work (but the second we move in together i know what i'm gunna wish for)

Beach Bag to for putting wet bathing suits in and wet trunks. I hate putting them in my backpack cause it gets everything wet. I like the idea of these but not the imagery or wording:
