member of Swap-Bot since March 3, 2007!

My name is Mikki!
I am a 32 year old married mom of 3 kids....ages 16, 7 and 3 years. Married for 8 years. Currently living in Montgomery, Alabama. But I am originally from Louisiana. Yes, I am 100% Cajun. I am a S@HM, a fabric artist and a vampirologist! I am a member of The Vampire Empire, which puts me free in the Int'l Frankenstein Society. I'm also part of the Universal Monster Army and the Edgar Allan Poe Society. I am also a philatelist!! I am also at a point in my life where I no longer let other people bother me. You can say what you want to say, but I know me better than you. And I refuse to let other people bring me down. I only try to do the right things. I have no reason to lie about anything or anyone...it get's me no where. I also have no reason to cheat or steal. My love for life, my children, my husband and the rest of my family keeps me going. I need nothing else. So a few words coming from some I don't know and never met mean nothing to me when they carry ill will or intent.

I am a lifetime member of Witchschool.com. I now consider myself part of the Correllian Tradition and I am working through my First Degree Course. I don't need it, but I have to go through it, 2nd and 3rd to apply for Clergy.

I am a really dark person...meaning I really enjoy the darker images in life...blood, gore, horror, cemeteries, Gothic, etc etc. They only thing that bothers me are these types of images of children and animals. But it is really hard to offend me with what others might call dark, sick images. I like really bloody, gory images. I love zombie and vampire movies.

I also love Halloween!! It is my favorite time of the year and holiday! I would love to have my Halloween decorations out year 'round!! I love anything and everything to do with Halloween!! Especially vintage and antique Halloween!

Please Do Not Send

These are things I cannot or will not use and I would rather you send them to someone who really needs them.

Things that smell like cigarette smoke. I quit smoking in Sept 2008 after my mom had a double bypass heart surgery. I realize now how I smelled and I don't like the smell anymore. I don't even go to my MIL's house because she smokes inside and I don't want to come home smelling like that.

things that say "diva" or "princess", Disney stuff..unless it's the Princesses for my daughter, earrings, pencils or pens, mixed CDs, romance novels, unless is paranormal, seed beads, fabric that isn't cotton, iron on stuff, dirty or over used stuff (gently used is ok)

I don't wear "normal" earrings as I have them at a 2g. I also don't wear anything in my hair..no barrettes, etc.

things that fall into the category of my dislikes

I like most 80s and 90s music. Plus what it known today as "emo music". I also like some punk. But I don't like country or rap at all.

I am a fabric artist! I won't say sewer because it makes me think of toilet! I make quilts and clothes mainly. I've finally been able to take up crocheting again!!! YAY Some of my sewing work can be seen on my Flickr account.

My WIP Plans:

Halloween Jar Quilt
Candy/Food Jar quilt...been planning for about 2 years now!!!

I recycle most of the packaging that I receive. So don't be surprised if you get a padded envie from me that is stapled and taped shut.

ok I basically stole this from @NymphetMaggot s profile: In light of the forum posts on the subject, I decided it was time to add a note about extras to my profile. My view on extras: just because you send them to me doesn't always guarantee that I will rate you with a heart. I only give hearts for extra special packages or extras that are obviously tailored to me. I will not give hearts for a couple magazine cut-outs, and a sheet of stickers or anything of that sort. If I can tell that some effort was put into sending me extras because you saw something that you thought I'd like, or you made something specifically for me, than I will give a heart. But, if it's just whatever thrown into the envelope, than I won't rate a heart. So, with that said, please do not message me begging for hearts or asking why you didn't get a heart. Any messages of the sort will be deleted without an answer.
