About Me

URGENT: I LOST MY JOB TODAY, SO ALL GROUPS I'M IN, I MIGHT BE A LITTLE LATE SENDING YGM'S OR RETURN WISHLIST ITEMS. SORRY, THIS ECONOMY SUCKS! I'M SELLING ALL MY HAIR FOR MONEY-SHOWS HOW DESPERATE I AM!!! I HAVE BEEN HAPPILY GROWING IT OUT FOR A YEAR AND HAVE 12 INCHES. :(

If I have forgotten to rate you, write you, or acknowledge something you have sent, please contact me. I won't be insulted-I have so much going on right now that I'd forget my head if it wasn't attached!

Also, my digital camera broke recently, so if you take a picture of what you send me I will gladly post it on my blog. Just let me know after I receive it! I miss very much posting all my wonderful packages!

Please contact me if you would like to discuss any of these topics:

-depression, being overweight, abusive relationships

-different medications, currently just started Prozac and have been taking Xanax, Zoloft, Lexapro and Ambien

-Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

-Just need someone to talk to? I do.

MEMBER SINCE MAY 2007

                **I LOVE LAVENDER!**

lavender

Who am I? Well, it depends on who you ask.I am the Mom of a 3 and 1/2 year old boy to my son, and work full time inside the home. I have been described as obsessive/compulsive regarding neatness and cleaning. I am fanciful but down to earth, impulsive but cautious, introvert but when the situation calls for it an extrovert. I love people and hate people. I am creative but can't draw a stick figure to save my life. I am selfish but my personality test said I'm a pleaser.

     **My husband keeps telling me this:**

A Clean House

         **I just ignore him!!!**

I like to read, play piano and do crafts in my spare time. I have my own aromatherapy company and make soaps, bath salts, lotions, lip balms, stack candles and much more. 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.

Soap

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. My husband is Catholic so any Catholic themed items are welcome.

My son is 3 and loves Elmo, Barney, educational items and trucks. Basically typical boy items. He likes anything Einstein or Leap Frog, puzzles, play dough, balls, books. No allergies except that he has sensitive skin, so I can only use Aveeno products on him. Here is my favorite picture that I took of my son and my husband last year: picture

Please contact me if you would be interested in doing a trade. I have done several trades through the forums, and several set up as personal swaps through swap-bot.

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:

-heavy duty scissors

-brown embossing powder

-swap cards

-hand knitted/crocheted wash cloths, socks or stuffies. I do think dotee dolls are creepy though.

Sending any of these items will guarantee a heart.

Please for sanitary reasons, put loose tea bags in a baggie or wrap in plastic wrap. Thanks!

My Likes-Edible Items

Joke about tea-What starts with tea, ends with tea, and has tea in it? Answer-A tea pot

LOVE tea-bagged & loose-I like herbal, black, green and white tea, no rooibos please. Also blends are fine as long as they do not contain the following ingredients: licorice, vanilla or ginger. I am in dire need of decaf plain black tea, any type will do. Any herbs are wonderful as I'm trying to limit caffeine intake at night!

-candy with caramel or peanut butter in it

-maple candy

-gummy candy

-gift basket sized snacks like cheese, salami, crackers, etc.

-herbs & spices

-any packaged drink mixes, ex. hot chocolate, protein drinks, cappuccino mixes

My Likes-Crafting stuff:

-vintage fabrics or looking vintage

-any ribbons, buttons and beads

-essential oils-lavender is my favorite

-swap cards-Holly Hobby, Celtic/Irish, Hello Kitty, or Anne of Green Gables would be amazing!

-Calligraphy pen and/or supplies

-blank note cards/envelopes

-vintage books especially children's(can be pages cut or torn out of books)

-decorative paper, ex. striped paper, colored paper, any size just need different colors and styles

-any crafting embellishments

-old postcards, anything old!!!, pics, doilies, etc...

My Likes-Misc Items

Favorite Colors in Order: Green, Blue, Bluish-green:), lavender (NOT purple, please)

-Irish/Celtic stuff (shamrocks, etc.) especially jewelry

-Mary Engelbreit, Anne of Green Gables or Holly Hobby

-retro type items, fabrics, designs, etc.

-colors: lavender, NOT PURPLE, green and cream combo, orange, brown and green combo (retro), blue and green by themselves is also great. I like "oceany" colors

-sheet music (can be copied)

-your handmade items (please include any background information like how you got into your craft or where you got the materials if you want)

-any local/regional items (I love hearing about other people's history, local customs and traditions)

-cram cream stuff and all the other kawaii type items, don't really know all about them, but think they're cute, especially Hello Kitty and Sanrio products-send all!!!

-gift cards to Michael's, Joann's, Wal-mart, Target, Lane Bryant, Borders, Adagio.com, Teavana, Walgreen's, Amazon.com, Dragonwater.com

-hair conditioners, hand lotions

-cute socks

-hair bands/pony tail holders for THICK hair

-soothing music CD's, country music

-Elvis anything, postcards, handmade CD's, copies of pictures taken at Graceland. I have suddenly become obsessed with him! (at least that's what my hubby said when I asked him to grow sideburns:)

-Organic is nice, but NOT necessary!

-Any pictures of attractive red heads like goddesses, angels, etc.

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

-Green cross or lavender heart from www.cunninghamglasart.com would totally rock my world.I bought a green heart at a tea festival and wish I could buy more.

Dislikes

-vanilla scent/flavor-bleh!-NASTY

-rose scent

-black licorice & tea with licorice in it

-cigarette smoke smell & fake/cheap smelling scents

-people who don't rate swaps or acknowledge angeled packages

-dogs

-veal-(Research how it's made) But surprisingly I'm not a vegetarian...

Items I don't need:

-lip balms since I make my own(unless it's really neat/unusual)

-coffee

-green Sharpie markers

-teacher stickers-don't need them, don't want them

Favorite Crafts

Knitting, soap making, sewing, photography, reading, sleeping, swapping, spending time with my son, 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!!!

Misc Humor

Don't give a crap

I love this picture, so retro.
