MackeySwaps

I'm a 39 year old, newly married, mom to one. I have 2 very fast-paced and hectic careers, but I absolutely love crafting and creating in my down-time (I'm a senior manager for a manufacturing firm and I own a rental property company... SUPER BUSY, SUPER STRESSFUL) -which is why I love crafting & creating so much!! Additionally, I love fashion, interior design, creating, socializing, shopping, and my son, husband, and cat:) Fall is my favorite time of year! I just love craft fairs and decorating with warm autumn colors and burning candles and baking really unhealthy treats for my friends & family. Plus, it's crock pot season, YAY!!

I have a craft room most would die for and I love spending time in there, creating. I usually hold 1 - 2 workshops a month for local ladies. We've built everything from rustic wooden planter boxes to beautiful wreaths. I also hold card workshops Christmas tag workshops. I've got the space and don't charge a ton, so my workshops are always full, my friends always have fun, and I'm usually inspired by their projects!

My husband and I are currently working on creating / building / and canning all of our Christmas gifts. (He's a wonderful helper!!) I love sewing, building, working with dried florals, candle-making, canning, and basically anything related to home-making! My current fascination is Stampin Up and card swaps! I'm relatively new to SU, but have really enjoyed the new community of friends I've gained. I always jump at the opportunity to participate in swaps and love seeing the creativity of others!

Wishlist / Swap items: 1. Any stamps, paper, embellishments, ribbon, tags, or stamping items.

1. Anything personally created (though cards are my favorite!! -I love card swaps:)

2. I love to read, so I would also be open to book swaps :)

If I swap with you, I promise to send items that are genuinely thought out, well crafted, and not junk. I'd appreciate the same in return. I will always swap an item I would be proud to receive and I ask the same from you. I pride myself on creativity (and a little bit of perfection) so if we swap, I hope you'll enjoy what you receive just as much as I'll enjoy creating it.
