I have been with Swap-bot for 6 months and absolutely love it. I have had only one Flaker:-( So Thanks to ALL who follow through. I rate as soon as I receive. Since I am in as many as 20 Swaps at one time and Host a couple, when the reminders come in after the two week deadline, I rate a 1 with a note that I will change when received. If you get a 1 and you did send - Please let me know. Will fix ASAP.

Now for all you wonderful Swap-botters who read the Profiles and still don't know what to make or give- Just PM and I will give you more info relevant to that particular Swap.

ABOUT ME: I am an accountant at the Marine Corps Base, Quantico, Va. I plan to retire in 2012/2013 and move to Loganville, Ga. I have been here at Quantico for 11 years. Before- I was with the Dept of the Army at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md; Ft. Monmouth, NJ; and Ft. Belvoir, Va.

FAVORITE COLORS: Green, burgundy.

FAVORITE MUSIC: I love both kinds of music - country and western!! Ha!Ha! for those who remember the Blues Brothers. Garth Brooks is my favorite Male Singer and Reba McIntyre is my favorite Female Singer. Heavenly Singers are ELVIS and Patsy Cline (listening her right now). My newest group is the Zac Taylor Band and I just love anything Darius Rucker is singing. The last CD I bought was Lady Antebellum.

Enjoy learning new crafts - I am now addicted to ATCs after researching on HowTo.com. I am part of a Card Making Group of six ladies who meet once a month in my neighborhood.

POSTCARDS: I enjoy making/receiving handmade postcards. I like mine with a note/quote/recipe please and postmarked.

GREETING CARDS: If there is a choice - I would like handmade (I keep a Scrapbook for ideas) but if you cannot make one than the store bought will be just fine ( of course, it will probably get recycled into a another card, postcard or ATC)

After reading one of the forums, I decided to add:

LIST OF THINGS I DO NOT WANT/NEED: Alcohol related items, baby items, Yarn, Kawaii, dark things as in depressing, Santa Claus, Disney. Hope this helps:)

LIST OF THINGS I WOULD LIKE: Although I love being SURPRISED. It was suggested I add a few items. Anything Snowman/Snowflakes, anything Chihuahua, anything Green (material, ribbons, buttons).

SOMETHING ELSE: I am an avid recycler since the first Earth Day! I believe Reuse, Reduce, Recycle and REGIFT:-)

PET/CHILD INFO: Four Chihauhaus, Frito Bandito (Male-6lbs), the Girls- Brownie (8lbs), Bonnie(8lbs-does not wear clothes), Triscuit (6 lbs) the Bisquit. They would love little dingo bones. One Siamese Cat, Pudge (FOR SALE), and a guinea pig named Special Agent Spazo.
