BelleoftheHome

ATTENTION: I have had an injury to my knee and have been unable to walk or do much of anything besides take pain killers for 2 weeks! If you have not received a swap from me, please know it is on the way! I'm sooo very sorry if I havent messaged you, please forgive me!

Im a bit of a southern belle living in Knoxville. Very happy in a very long term relationship. Obsessed with photography, decorating, and cars. I have 2 cats, Joey and Google, and am a huge animal lover! You can always send me a message! And I'm always up for new friends! But I believe I am going to be taking a summer off from swapping much minus a few post cards or photos! I am starting school back soon, and need to get some money saved up as well as focus on classes!

I do a bit of all crafting! My favorites though are photography and embroidery even though I am just learning at not very good at either yet! For Photography my main focuses are abandoned buildings and seeing beauty in something forgotten. My Beau races autocross with the East TN Region Sports Car Club of America and I always go and take pictures for that! I usually fill up at least 2 cards! LOL!

I am very interested in learning new crafts! I am hoping to make 3 small quilts for a friend for Christmas and am hoping to get better at sewing in general! I also vaguely know how to Knit and Crochet!

I really listen to anything music wise! Although I dont listen to much country! My favorite current bands are: Holy Ghost Tent Revival (you should look them up!) Avett Brothers Franz Ferdinand (I Freaking love the song No You Girls) The Killers The Heavy The Constellations And pretty much anything else Alternative!

I prefer historical fiction and mystery novels. Right now I am reading the Dexter Series by Jeff Lindsey and Storming Heaven by Denise Giardina. I also have read almost all of Stephen King's books! I love books that have a fictional story written around historical facts. Also I just started reading the books by Kathy Reichs and LOVE THEM! But could be because I love the show Bones! I have Death Du Jour and Spider Bones currently! I would also love the first Body Farm novel by Jefferson Bass

I am hoping to go back to school in the very near future and major in Business and either minor as a pastry chef or interior designer.
