                **I LOVE LAVENDER!**

Hello! I am Amberly, or Amber for short!

I like to read, play piano, love to sing, and do crafts in my spare time. I have my own aromatherapy company and make soaps, bath salts, lotions, lip balms... Let me know if you would like any bath products as part of your package, even if it doesn't fit with the swap parameters.

I am a Christian and do not care for wiccan/witchcraft items. Although I heavily use herbs and essential oils, I do not like pentagrams, witches or the like.

Please contact me if you would be interested in doing a private swap.

Some of my favorite childhood memories are playing with Strawberry Shortcake and Holly Hobby dolls and watching Anne of Green Gables. Any memorabilia from these items are cherished.

Current Wish List:

-washi tape, kawaii deco tape (whatever you call the cute little rolls of tape)

-hand knitted/crocheted socks

-Earl Grey tea-loose or bagged.

-Address labels with my new name and address.

Sending any of these items will guarantee a heart.

As far as tea goes, I prefer loose leaf or sealed bags. Thanks!

I LOVE tea-bagged & loose-all types of tea except rooibos no rooibos please. Earl Grey black tea is my favorite though. Also blends are fine as long as they do not contain the following ingredients: licorice or vanilla

-Cadbury Crunchie bars

-candy with caramel or peanut butter in it

-maple candy

-gummy candy

-herbs & spices-surprise me!!!

-I have recently started journaling, so anything related to that is MUCH appreciated. I've got so much to learn!

-Mary Engelbreit, Anne of Green Gables, Holly Hobby or Precious Moments

-Scents I like are lavender, peppermint, citrus scents like lemon, and lime, basically natural scents.

-I wear silver toned jewelry and have pierced ears. I like post earrings, small dangle earrings, bracelets, and necklaces.

Knitting, soap making, sewing, photography, reading, sleeping, swapping, spending time with my sons, spending time alone. Sitting on the couch listening to rain or soothing music on my MP3 player and reading or wearing an eye mask are ideal soothing things for me, but don't forget the tea. Gotta have it!!!
