3. Your house colors? Does it matter?

I live in an RV- not much space does not matter

Candles...living in the RV thing - open flame is not cool

My feet are HUGE like a woman's size 12- do you really want to use that much yarn? However booties that I could put on the cat to torture him could be hysterical.

14. If someone wants to send you ephemera or art supplies, what would you most like to receive?
Stewart Gill products, Golden fluid acrylics, white Prismacolor pencils,watersoluble oil pastels and crayons - just the single crayon/a little pot of paint works fine, super thin inking pens (my fave signo bit 0.18 has run out, and I´m devastated...), nice w/c paper (both atc size and bigger), punchinella (in odder sizes and shapes - I have plenty of the regular one)... just assume that I can´t get my hands on the fun stuff, and you´re just about right!

It sure can - GO Cindy!

[Ginart]

Lol Cindy, I'd give you random iTrader... If it wouldn't mean being banned...

[goodmorningstarshine]

Cindy, have you experienced the joy that is the moo? Would you be willing to do a 1:1 moo trade with me?

[themuppet]

I'd get in on that Moo action...

[goodmorningstarshine]

I'll bet everyone would. Cindy, why don't you make 10 moos, post them to the gallery as available and we'll all fight over them?

[CindyD]

Haha, Only need 8 now, and I just sent off three cards today, and should have some in transit. (It should be 6, as I've had two swap sets received by hosts - but they probably do those all at the same time.) I would love to trade you guys some moos. But I have foolishly (and with reckless abandon) joined quite a lot of swaps and have several custom trades waiting. Then again, a new size could open some creative channels. Hmm..
(By the way, thank you very much. You are a fine and charming bunch of folks, I must say.)
