About Me

October 29, 2011 was my great grandson, Bentley's first birthday. It was a grand Harvest Party in the snow. Yea, 2 and 1/2 inches of the white stuff. Needless to say the hayride was cancelled!

I've just discovered the A.R.T. Group on Swap-Bot. Lots of fun - check it out.
I love to stamp. I was introduced to Stampin Up in 1999 and have been making cards since then. I started doing ATC's in Feb of 2006, and I love doing and receiving them. I am a retired elementary teacher. My husband and I have three daughters, three son-in-laws, and five grandsons, and one great grandson. My family is very important to me.
I love to read mystery and adventure novels, visit new places, and create with rubber stamps. I love the colors blue and green, and anything having to do with the fall of the year. I am open to fresh new ideas, and love seeing what others are doing. I really am enjoying all the great atc swaps I've gotten so far. Great ideas! I faithfully mail by the deadline, if not before, so if you don't receive my goodies in a reasonable time please let me know as I've had some bad experiences with our mail service. I rate the same day as I receive, so if you aren't rated, I haven't received.

Favorite Music

I love any kind of rock and roll, jazz, country western music. I think my favorite musican is Ronnie Dove, a fellow Marylander, who I've met in person several times. Having seen Brenda Lee several times I also have to include her.

Favorite Movies

Anything with Clint Eastwood in it. Mama Mia and Brave One. Wild Hogs was extremely funny! I also enjoy Nell with Jodi Foster; Gone With The Wind; Grease; West Side Story; and Ghost.

Favorite Television

Mysteries: Murder She Wrote, Diagnosis Murder, Columbia. Also CSI, Survivor, and Three and a Half Men. Dating myself, aren't I?! Updated, I like NCIS and NCIS LA, as well as the History channel, thanks to my husband.

Favorite Crafts

Stamping, stamping, stamping. Also woodburning and cross-stitching. I enjoy altered art, and have done several books. I am just getting into scrapbooks. My sweet husband just gave me a 12 by 24 Amish shed and put counter tops and cabinets around the perimeter of it which is now my Studio. I've learn to knit, and am now taking a basket weaving class.

Things I like

I grew up on a farm and raised sheep for my 4-H project. Sheep are great! My kitchen has strawberries all over it. I love blues, greens, and all pastel colors. Autumn is my favorite season, followed by Spring. Before diabetes took over my life, I loved to bake and eat any sweets. Now fruits fill my appetite. With five grandsons, I am always looking for boy things to use with my scrapbooking

wishlist

I'm flexible! I enjoy receiving new and different things from others. Patterned papers, stickers to use with scrapbooking, tips and techniques, anything with hummingbirds or lighthouses. I like to read anything in paperback. Surprise me! I won't be disappointed.

Dislikes

About the only thing I dislike is nudity. Other than that I am, as I said, flexible.
