Swap hosts, please indicate digital ATC acceptance in your swap descriptions! Thank you!

Warning: I sometimes create digital ATCs. They will usually be printed and mounted on cardstock without further embellishment.

Baby Samuel was born a month early at the beginning of August. He is doing well.

I'm a WAHM to 4 boys (2 human, 2 feline) & 3 girls (2 human, 1 feline).

I'm a nerd, and I love books and words.

I'm slightly techy/geeky, proud of my Irish heritage, and very, very tired.

I love to craft, read, and play Scrabble and Words With Friends. I love MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) and Operation Christmas Child.

I am Christian, but I respect your right to your own beliefs. I read profiles for religious preferences, so if you don't have it on your profile, you may receive something with a Christian theme.

Coffee: I smell it, hubby drinks it. :)
I do drink tea, cider, and hot chocolate, and happily accept coffee to treat my hubby.

My home is a kitty-loving, smoke-free environment.
