I enjoy all of my swaps and people I come across and will not judge you if you are not like me. Everyone has their own nitch in life and is doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing on their own path.

About Me

I am an analyst and love auditing and reviewing things, but love the weekend when it comes! I am a wife and mother of two young ladies (Tara 24 yrs. and Samira (my angel now). I have a love for God and my family, my German Shepherds (Kassi and JR),

And doing things for others (always remember to pay it forward), hunting down fun things at Thriftstores to use in swaps/crafts or keepers just for me. Love spending next to nothing for treasures.

For the Swaps - Message me if you have trouble and we can work it out. Life's too short to rate and upset people badly. Just smile and pm me. Besides, I may the one being tardy one day but will let you know. I hope to live by the same rule too.

What I Pledged

Favorite Hobby: Of course Scrapbooking is truly my passion {But I do love cardmaking too!}. I love to make albums/pages that tell a story about the individual. It gives me time with mom, family and friends. Rather than have my photos on the computer, I can go through albums with family and friends. I enjoy card making and enjoy coming up w/new versions. I have brought out my Phaff and have begun sewing. It has been years but mom taught me well. Am interested in just about anything and will try it at least once. I love a challenge to make something out of nothing.

Go Green I reuse everything and make cards from a variety of spectrums. When you find something to reuse, do so and make an effort to save our environment.

I love to reuse packages that have come to me to save on the environment. No worries about a bad rating because of the packaging.

and movies - I do love comedies, Rizzoli & Iris, Elementary, Bones, a good old western, the old black and whites, and still love Lucy! As for movies, I love the old musicals, romance, action, and comedies. Thank goodness for DVR as I wouldn't be able to watch shows. Probably delete more than I watch because I am busy crafting!

I have recently become more confident with filling (coloring) in my stamped images - I know, finally girlfriend! And I am attempting to gather the chalk to do this, as well as "how to" ideas.
Brads - I love unique brads. Been looking for ones that look like a screw top.
Ribbon - I love beautiful ribbon for my card making! Buttons - I do use buttons for my cards and love to receive those unique and fun buttons. Flowers - I am stuck on these darn things too! It is almost like shoes, but I love cards with paper/silk flowers in a variety of mediums! Diecuts - seeking small picket fences or bicycle to make my scenery cards with. Chapsticks - love the simple ones. Recipies - Love to collect delicious recipies and am always looking for new Gluten free ones. Fabric - Looking forward to truly sewing/making all of my presents next year. Canning - love, love, love canning my own products for my family - healthier is better. Socks - love white athletic booties. Nothing fancy but a friend once said "your day is made new with a fresh NEW pair of socks! So true.

Recently got a Sizzix Tecture Boutique {loved the little blue purse theme} and am looking for a wood sleeve (cuttlebug) for my cards........

A bundle of birthday cards - I have 1,100 people on the campus I work at and there are birthdays constantly! I am one of those trying to make hearts smile one card at a time

I am not a fan of smoke scented cards or supplies to work with. It is really hard to give those items to people as the smell never really leaves paper or the ribbons. Sorry if I offend anyone with this. I still love you, just not things smelling like cigarette.

Don't really care for flavored coffees. Can't eat candy too well either.
