“Laughter is by definition healthy.” ― Doris Lessing

Hello everyone! My name is Rebecca. I Love Swap-bot. I have so much fun daily, I've met me some great ladies!!! I spend way tooooo much time dillydailing on here though...oh well. Who needs a clean house anyway?????

I always send, if you don't receive from me, please let me know. The mail is not always predictable!

I reuse mailing envelopes and boxes. If I receive something I can't use, I will pass it along to someone I think can put it to good use. I hope everyone does the same thing, one person's dislike can be another person's like!!

I am a SAHM with 4 great kids and 1 wonderful husband. My kids range in age from 18 to 4. 3 boys and 1 girl. We have 4 loveable and playful cats- Mikey, Frankie (sadly he passed away in Dec '12), Benny Bing Bing and Woody( the newest member, aka Farty Cat). Clarence lives with my sister and her 3 boys. I am rarely a serious person- smart arse, nerdy and silly describe me best. I usually get a joke about 3 minutes after the punchline is told, I've learned it's okay to laugh by yourself. I love to read, bake, watch True Blood, go on nature walks, skip rocks, craft, craft and craft some more. I suffer from depression and ADD, the depression is finally under control, working on the ADD.

I will be swapping only in the groups I'm in and tagging in the US only. Ugh has postage gone UP!

I haven't listed my fav books, cause I don't want to hurt any book's feelings. I LOVE books!! All kinds- romance, mystery, paranormal, modern, cookbooks, self help....you name it and I will probably read it!!

I love to craft, but my ADD must kill all the projects. I get part of one done and then move on to the next one. I have 3 curtains done in my kitchen, my poor 4th window is patiently waiting. I love sewing, making things for my kids, right now my fav thing is making things with felt- cupcake, ice cream cones, animals...it's fun!

My sweetie and me!
